Tehillim \/ Psalms 19<\/span><\/p>\n

For the director of music. A psalm of David. 19:1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. 19:2 Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. 19:3 There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. 19:4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, 19:5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. 19:6 Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. 19:8 The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. 19:9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. 19:10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. 19:11 Moreover, by them Your servant is warned; In keeping them there is great reward. 19:12 Who can discern his errors? Acquit me of hidden faults. 19:13 Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins; Let them not rule over me; Then I will be blameless, And I shall be acquitted of great transgression. 19:14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

Toviyah \/ Psalms Chapter 19<\/span><\/p>\n

19:1 For praise; a psalm of David. 19:2 Those who behold the heavens tell of the glory of the Lord; those who gaze at the sky recount the works of his hands. 19:3 Day to day tells more of the word; but night to night tells less knowledge. 19:4 There is no utterance of complaint, and there are no words of confusion, for their voice is not heard. 19:5 The line of their conversation reaches through the whole earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them [the heavens] he placed a splendid dwelling for the sun. 19:6 And he, in the morning, when he comes forth, will come forth like a groom who comes out of his canopy, and in splendor will rejoice like a warrior to run the course. 19:7 His rising is at the ends of the earth, and his might reaches to all their edges; and there is none who can hide from his heat. 19:8 The Torah of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is reliable, making wise the fool. 19:9 The commands of the Lord are upright, gladdening the heart; the command of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes. 19:10 The fear of the Lord is pure, lasting forever; the judgments of the Lord are faithfulness; they are altogether just. 19:11 More desirable than gold or than much fine gold; and more pleasant than honey or the sweet honeycombs. 19:12 Truly your servant has been careful for them, to observe them; because of this, he was made ruler of Israel. 19:13 Who knows unwitting sins? And from secret faults make me innocent. 19:14 Truly from the arrogant deliver your servant, that they may not rule over me; then I will be without blemish, and I will be innocent of great sin. 19:15 Let the utterances of my mouth and the thought of my mind be acceptable in your presence, O Lord, my strength and my redeemer.

Psalmoi \/ Psalms 19<\/span><\/p>\n

For the end, a Psalm of David. 19:1 The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands. 19:2 Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge. 19:3 There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard. 19:4 Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. 19:5 In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course. 19:6 His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the other end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat. 19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes. 19:8 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes. 19:9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, and justified altogether. 19:10 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb. 19:11 For thy servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them there is great reward. 19:12 Who will understand his transgressions? purge thou me from my secret sins. 19:13 And spare thy servant the attack of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin. 19:14 So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before thee, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

Evolution, according to this view, is simply a tool that God utilizes to develop human life. Now there are a number of assumptions that enter into the evolutionary theories that are postulated today which are debatable. But the real question at hand before us with regard to David\u2019s words in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 19:2,<\/span> is regarding whether one has a sufficient knowledge of the Scriptures in order to objectively examine these evolutionary theories that are in postulated today? I propose that the debate of Creation vs. Evolution is not so much the result of the interaction of science with religion, as it is a function of not having a strong understanding of the Scriptures. Let\u2019s examine this a little further.<\/span><\/p>\n

In order to illustrate this point, we will be looking at one theory in particular taken from theistic evolution that proposes God did not create in a \u201cliteral\u201d six – twenty four hour day period according to <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1<\/span>. This theory is known as the <\/span>\u201cGap Theory.\u201d<\/span> Because of the accepted teachings of evolution, many have tried to place a gap of indeterminate time between the first two verses of <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1<\/span>. <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1\u20132 <\/span>states: <\/span>\u05d0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05b5\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5: \u05d1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05b0\u05ea\u05b8\u05d4 \u05ea\u05b9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05b8\u05d1\u05b9\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05b0\u05d7\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05ea\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05e8\u05d5\u05bc\u05d7\u05b7 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05d7\u05b6\u05e4\u05b6\u05ea \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b7\u05de\u05bc\u05b8\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd:<\/span> \u201c<\/span>1<\/span>In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. <\/span>2<\/span>The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.\u201d<\/span> Many people have made attempts over the years to harmonize the Genesis account of creation with the accepted geologic time periods and its teaching of billions of years for the age of the earth. Examples of such attempts include the views of <\/span><\/a>theistic evolution which include progressive creation and the gap theory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The idea of the gap theory can be traced back to the rather obscure writings of the Dutchman Episcopius (1583\u20131643), but it was first recorded from one of the lectures of Thomas Chalmers. (<\/span>I. Taylor, In the Minds of Men: Darwin and the New World Order, TFE Publishing, Toronto, Canada, 1984, 363.<\/span>) Chalmers (1780\u20131847) was a notable Scottish theologian and the first moderator of the Free Church of Scotland, and he was perhaps the man most responsible for the gap theory. (<\/span>W. W. Fields, Unformed and Unfilled, Burgeners Enterprises, Collinsville, Illinois, 1976, 40<\/span>) Rev. William Buckland, a geologist, also did much to popularize this idea. Chalmers\u2019 writings give very little information about the gap theory, (<\/span>W. Hanna, ed., Natural Theology, Selected works of Thomas Chalmers, Vol. 5, Thomas Constable, Edinburgh, 1857, 146<\/span>) many of the details are obtained from other writers, such as the nineteenth century geologist Hugh Miller, who quoted from Chalmers\u2019 lectures on the subject. (<\/span>H. Miller, The Testimony of the Rocks, Boston, Gould and Lincoln, New York, 1867, 143<\/span>) The most notably influential nineteenth century writer to popularize this view was G. H. Pember, in his book Earth\u2019s Earliest Ages, (<\/span>G.H. Pember, Earth\u2019s Earliest Ages, H. Revell Company, New York, 1900<\/span>) first published in 1884. The 20th-century writer who attempted an academic defense of the gap theory was Arthur C. Custance in his work titled <\/span>\u201cWithout Form and Void.\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>A.C. Custance, Without Form and Void, Brookville, Canada, 1970<\/span>). In addition to this, modern Bible study aids such as the Scofield\u2019s Reference Bible, Dake\u2019s Annotated Reference Bible, and The Newberry Reference Bible also include the gap theory and have influenced many to accept this teaching of vast ages in between the days of creation. The basic reason for developing and promoting this view can be seen from the following quotations from these commentaries:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. <\/a>Scofield Study Bible:<\/span> \u201cRelegate fossils to the primitive creation, and no conflict of science with the Genesis cosmogony remains.\u201d <\/span>(<\/span>C.I. Scofield, Ed., The Scofield Study Bible, Oxford University Press, New York, 1945<\/span>) Note that the Scofield Reference Bible was originally published in 1909 and the 1945 verse was unaltered from the original of 1909. Notice how Scofield believes there is a conflict between science and the biblical account of Creation, and with this presupposition, the gap theory is the only plausible explanation. <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. <\/a>Dake\u2019s Annotated Reference Bible:<\/span> \u201cWhen men finally agree on the age of the earth, then place the many years (over the historical 6,000) between Genesis 1:1 and 1:2, there will be no conflict between the Book of Genesis and science.\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>F.H. Dake, Dake\u2019s Annotated Reference Bible, Dake Bible Sales, Lawrenceville, Georgia, 1961, 51<\/span>) Drake\u2019s commentary also believe that the biblical creation account must be reinterpreted by overlaying vast time periods between the days of creation.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    These quotes are typical of the compromise of modern theology. Many people now equate the teaching of millions of years and evolution with science. However, these teachings are not science in the <\/span><\/a>empirical (repeatable and testable) sense. In <\/span><\/a>evolutionary Science, scientists have only the present to work with and to connect the present to the past involves interpretations based on unprovable assumptions. Note that in empirical science, we begin with assumptions that then lead to experimentation. It is then by experiment that we are able to verify our assumptions by repeatable testing. It is not empirically possible to test the assumptions of evolutionary science.<\/span><\/p>\n

    There are many variations of the <\/span><\/a>gap theory. According to the author Weston Fields, the theory is summarized as follows, <\/span>\u201cIn the far distant dateless past, God created a perfect heaven and perfect earth. Satan was ruler of the earth which was peopled by a race of \u2018men\u2019 without any souls. Eventually, Satan, who dwelled in a garden of Eden composed of minerals (Ezekiel 28), rebelled by desiring to become like God (Isaiah 14). Because of Satan\u2019s fall, sin entered the universe and brought on the earth God\u2019s judgment in the form of a flood (indicated by the water of 1:2), and then a global ice age when the light and heat from the sun were somehow removed. All the plant, animal, and human fossils upon the earth today date from this \u2018Lucifer\u2019s flood\u2019 and do not bear any genetic relationship with the plants, animals, and fossils living upon the earth today.\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>Weston W. Fields, Unformed and Unfilled, A Critique of the Gap Theory, Burgener Enterprises, 1997<\/span>). As can be seen here in Weston\u2019s story, many assumptions must be made, such as a race of men without souls. A race of men \u201cwith\u201d souls would obviously present a serious theological problem. Other versions of the gap theory state that the fossil record (geologic column) formed over millions of years, and then God destroyed the earth with a catastrophe (i.e., Lucifer\u2019s flood) that left it <\/span>\u201cwithout form and void.\u201d<\/span> Western Bible commentaries written before the eighteenth century (<\/span>i.e. before the belief in a long age for the earth became popular<\/span>) knew nothing of any gap between <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1 and 1:2<\/span>. As noted, some commentaries propose intervals of various lengths of time for reasons relating to Satan\u2019s fall, but none proposed a ruin-reconstruction situation or a pre-Adamite world. In the nineteenth century, it became popular to believe that the geological changes occurred slowly and roughly at the present rate known as uniformitarianism. With the increased acceptance of uniformitarianism, many theologians urged reinterpretation of Genesis with ideas such as <\/span><\/a>day-age, <\/span><\/a>progressive creation, theistic evolution, and <\/span><\/a>days-of-revelation, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n

    It was stated earlier <\/span>\u201cI propose that the debate of Creation vs. Evolution is not so much the result of the interaction of science with religion, as it is a function of not having a strong understanding of the Scriptures.\u201d<\/span> So, the gap theory was proposed as an attempt to incorporate the evolutionary ages of millions of years that are attributed to geology and astronomy into the creation record of the Bible. According to this idea, <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1<\/span> describes the initial creation of the universe. Following this the standard events of cosmic evolution took place, which eventually produced our solar system approximately five billion years ago. Then, on the earth, the various geologic ages followed, as identified by their respective assemblages of fossils within the modern interpretation of the fossil record. Did the Lord God Almighty create the earth within a twenty-four hour day, or were there gaps between the days? The gap theory was developed mainly for the purpose of accommodating the great ages demanded by evolutionary geologists and the sad point is that faith in the Scriptures took a second seat with regard to mans personal opinion. Regarding the Gap Theory, <\/span><\/a>does the Bible teach billions of years of animals suffering and dying before <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:2<\/span>? Let\u2019s examine the Scriptures.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Summary of the Scriptures<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Shemot \/ Exodus 20:11<\/span> states, <\/span>\u201cFor in six days the Lord made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, and hallowed it.\u201d<\/span> According to Moshe in the Torah from <\/span>Shemot \/ Exodus 20:11<\/span>, the creation of the heavens and the earth (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1<\/span>) and the sea and all that is in them (the living creatures) was completed in six days. Based on Moshe\u2019s interpretation, these were six twenty-four hour days, there is no time for millions of years.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. The Gap Theory places death, disease, and suffering before the fall of man into sin, contrary to the Scriptural account.<\/span><\/li>\n
    3. Romans 5:12<\/span> states, <\/span>\u201cTherefore, just as through one man [Adam] sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned.\u201d<\/span> Based upon the Apostle Paul\u2019s understanding of Yeshua and the resurrection, there could not have been human sin or death before Adam. Note that contained within evolutionary theory is the idea of death and dying that produces change across successive generations in the inherited characteristics of biological populations. Evolutionary processes give rise to diversity at every level of biological organization, including species, individual organisms and molecules such as DNA and proteins. Keeping this in mind, the Scriptures teach in <\/span>1 Corinthians 15<\/span> that Adam was the first man, and as a result of his rebellion (sin), death and corruption (disease, bloodshed, and suffering) entered the universe. Before Adam sinned, there could not have been any animal or human death. Note also that there could not have been a race of men before Adam that died in Lucifer\u2019s flood because <\/span>1 Corinthians 15:45<\/span> tells us that Adam was the first man.<\/span><\/li>\n
    4. Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:29\u201330<\/span> indicates that animals and man were originally created to eat plants, which is consistent with God\u2019s description of His creation as <\/span>\u201cvery good.\u201d<\/span> Note that the fossil record, gives evidence of disease, violence, death, and decay (<\/span>i.e. fossils have been found of animals fighting and eating each other<\/span>), be described as <\/span>\u201cvery good?\u201d<\/span> If death, violence, and decay were a part of God\u2019s plan it would destroy the Scriptural account of sin and death and the reason for Yeshua coming to this earth. The historical event of the global Flood, recorded in Genesis, explains the presence of huge numbers of dead animals buried in rock layers, laid down by water all over the earth.<\/span><\/li>\n
    5. Romans 8:22 <\/span>teaches that <\/span>\u201cthe whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.\u201d<\/span> The Apostle Paul clearly believed the whole of creation was, and is, subject to decay and corruption because of sin. When gap theorists believe that disease, decay, and death existed before Adam sinned, they ignore that this contradicts the teaching of Scripture. <\/span><\/li>\n
    6. The version of the gap theory that puts Satan\u2019s fall at the end of the geological ages, just before the supposed Lucifer\u2019s flood that destroyed all pre-Adamite life, has a further problem, this belief suggests that the death and suffering recorded in the fossils is God\u2019s fault, since it happened before Satan\u2019s fall, HaSatan (the deceiver) and sin cannot be blamed for it. <\/span>\n

      According to the short summary of Scripture, the Bible does not teach billions of years of animals suffering, and dying before <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:2<\/span>. If there really had been billions of years of suffering and death, why would God say nothing about it? The best that can be offered in support of such a notion are some out of context quotes from Isaiah and Jeremiah, along with an \u201cad hoc\u201d translation of <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1-2.<\/span> The Scriptures say the whole of creation groans because of the curse pronounced by God because of man\u2019s sin (<\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 3:17-19<\/span>). We know according to the Scriptures that death and destruction was not part of God\u2019s <\/span>\u201cvery good\u201d<\/span> creation. No death was in the world until sin entered through disobedience into the world! (<\/span>Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned, KJV, 1 Corinthians 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. KJV<\/span>) In fact, death itself are <\/span>\u201cthe wages of sin\u201d <\/span>(Romans 6:23) and the gift of God is eternal life through Yeshua our Lord according to the Scriptures. The gap theory undermines the very gospel of our salvation, as well as the Holy character of God! <\/span><\/p>\n

      Let\u2019s take a closer look (looking at the Hebraic Perspective) at the creation account in sefer Bereshit (the book of Genesis). Studying the numbering of the Hebrew days of the week, in the Hebrew bible, the Hebrew days of the week are numerical, as opposed to the world cultures naming the days after pagan gods. The numbering scheme may be found in the creation account in the first chapter of Genesis. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Note that the seventh day <\/span>\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e9\u05d1\u05ea<\/span> (Yom Shabbat) Sabbath, <\/span>\u05e9\u05d1\u05ea<\/span> is taken from the feminine noun meaning <\/span>\u201cto sit or dwell.\u201d <\/span> In this noun form it implies the \u201cday of rest.\u201d Even though in Genesis it is called <\/span>\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e9\u05d1\u05d9\u05e2\u05d9<\/span>, today we only call this day <\/span>\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd<\/span> \u05e9\u05d1\u05ea<\/span> (Yom shabbat) in terms of a day of the week, or (Shabbat) <\/span>\u05e9\u05d1\u05ea<\/span> in terms of worship.

      Evolutionary Theory<\/span><\/p>\n

      The world has evolved over billions of years.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The land came about before the ocean<\/span><\/p>\n

      Life began in the oceans<\/span><\/p>\n

      The sun and stars came about before the earth<\/span><\/p>\n

      Fish evolved before fruit trees<\/span><\/p>\n

      Fish evolved hundreds of millions of years before birds appeared<\/span><\/p>\n

      Insects came before birds<\/span><\/p>\n

      Reptiles came before whales<\/span><\/p>\n

      Woman came before man (by genetics)<\/span><\/p>\n

      The sun came before the plants (before any life)<\/span><\/p>\n

      All of marine life gradually developed from a primitive organic blob. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Man evolved from apes <\/span><\/p>\n

      All life forms are in a continual state of flux<\/span><\/p>\n

      Struggle and death has always existed, billions of years prior to humanity<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

      The days of the week may be seen in the creation account in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1.<\/span> Regarding the Hebraic numbering scheme, \u201cthe first day\u201d is not written as <\/span>\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e8\u05d0\u05e9\u05d5\u05df<\/span> (first day); it is written as <\/span>\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05d0\u05d7\u05d3<\/span> (yom ekhad) \u201cone day\u201d or \u201ca day.\u201d The reason the first day is written using the word <\/span>\u05d0\u05d7\u05d3<\/span> (echad) is that this establishes the contents of <\/span>\u201ca day.\u201d<\/span> \u201cOne\u201d day represents the period of time that God established after light and darkness were separated, and then He called its two parts (light and darkness) <\/span>\u201cone day,\u201d<\/span> here the Lord was establishing the twenty-four hour period that represents one day. The emphasis in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:5<\/span> is not on the order but, rather, on the contents, nature and purpose of a full twenty-four day that God is creating. The order of the days of the week begins in the following verses with the Hebrew words <\/span>\u05d9\u05d5\u05dd \u05e9\u05e0\u05d9<\/span> (yom sheni). Based on the analysis of the Hebrew text, the gap theory does not hold up to the scrutiny of the Scriptures! The Scriptures state that God created all of creation in six ordinary twenty-four hour days. The Lord God did not institute evolution; he literally spoke the universe into existence. Take for example the summary of the Scriptural account of creation with regard to what is taught in evolutionary theory.<\/span><\/p>\n

      Studying the creation account and the tenants of evolutionary theory, one stands against many things written in God\u2019s Word. Many sincere believers have developed reinterpretations of Scripture to avoid what is thought to be intellectual conflicts with popular scientific ideas. The gap theory was one such reinterpretation designed to fit the Scriptures with these scientific concepts that arose in the early 1800s and are still popular today. In reality, the gap theory overlooks some very important biblical truths, those truths that are related to sin, death, and Yeshua the Messiah. This is disastrous for ones faith because it breaks down the very foundation of truth that is found within God\u2019s Word regarding the Lord\u2019s reason and plan for redemption. Today, compromising ones faith in the Scriptures have lead to other positions, such as progressive creation or theistic evolution, that have mostly replaced the gap theory. The attempt to maintain a literal Genesis while trying to adhere to the long ages (millions of years), opens the door for greater compromise in one\u2019s own life and in generations to come. Regardless of the interpretation (<\/span>gap theory, day-age\/progressive creation, or theistic evolution<\/span>) the results are the same. These positions lead to the weakening of ones faith, and denial of the truths found within the Word of God creating doubt at the very beginning of God\u2019s word. David said in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 19:1<\/span> \u05d1 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05de\u05b0\u05e1\u05b7\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05db\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3-\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e9\u05b5\u05b9\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5 \u05de\u05b7\u05d2\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05d3 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9\u05e2\u05b7: <\/span> 19:1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. (NASB)<\/span> Taking a biblical perspective directly from the Torah on the creation account in <\/span>Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1<\/span> the Scriptures say <\/span>\u05d0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b1\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d0\u05b5\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05e9\u05bc\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b5\u05ea \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5:<\/span> 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NASB) <\/span>David sees and believes the vastness of the heavens declare God\u2019s Glory; that by His creative power He has made Himself known, He is the Almighty God according to His creation. Is it possible to praise the glory of God by His magnificent creation if His plan was for death, dying, and destruction through his creative process? Is it possible to believe in the account of the first man falling while holding the position (belief) that God used evolution in His creative process? Do we have to believe that God created men without souls in order to fit evolution into the creation story? These are very important questions for us today and is very much connected to our understanding of who God is, the reason there is disease, death, and pain in this world, and why God foretold of sending His Messiah Yeshua, to save us from our sins. <\/span><\/p>\n

      19:5 The line of their conversation reaches through the whole earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them [the heavens] he placed a splendid dwelling for the sun. 19:6 And he, in the morning, when he comes forth, will come forth like a groom who comes out of his canopy, and in splendor will rejoice like a warrior to run the course. 19:7 His rising is at the ends of the earth, and his might reaches to all their edges; and there is none who can hide from his heat.<\/span><\/p>\n

      The rabbis continue the thought of the day providing speech, a conversation that reaches all of the earth. What is the day speaking? The conversation that is being referred to is the light and heat from the sun that fills all of the earth. Here in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 19:5-7<\/span> a parallel is drawn between \u201clight\u201d and \u201cspeech.\u201d Studying the word \u201clight\u201d in the Scriptures, how many ways is the word \u201clight\u201d used? The difference between light and darkness can be understood as a parallel between the knowledge of good and evil. In the light one is able to judge how others are walking and to choose the right path to walk in. Darkness is used to hide ones evil ways, to walk in wickedness without others observing what you are doing. Light has also been used to illustrate the choice of whether to follow the commandments of God, and hope for His eternal rewards, and darkness to follow the enticings of the devil which persuade man to do evil and become captive and damned to hell in eternal darkness. These concepts are actually incorporated into the first epistle of John chapter 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

      1:4 These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete. 1:5 This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all. 1:6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth; 1:7 but if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. 1:8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 1:10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar and His word is not in us.

      Here John says that God is Light and in Him is no darkness. Notice in the Aramaic translation how the rabbis say <\/span>\u05d3 \u05dc\u05d9\u05ea \u05de\u05d9\u05de\u05e8 \u05d3\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05e2\u05de\u05ea\u05d0 \u05d5\u05dc\u05d9\u05ea \u05de\u05d9\u05dc\u05d9 \u05d3\u05e9\u05d2\u05d5\u05e9\u05d0 \u05d3\u05dc\u05d0 \u05de\u05e9\u05ea\u05de\u05e2 \u05e7\u05dc\u05d4\u05d5\u05df\u05c3 <\/span> 19:4 There is no utterance of complaint, and there are no words of confusion, for their voice is not heard. (EMC)<\/span> Darkness is paralleled to the utterance of complaint and words of confusion. In the Lord God Almighty, there is no darkness. God is not the author of confusion. And using this analogy, John says that if we say we have fellowship with the Lord and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. Thus, the difference between light and darkness is also understood as knowing the difference between truth and falsehood. John says that if we walk in the light (see <\/span>1 John 1:7-9<\/span>), just as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with Him, and with one another.

      19:7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes. 19:8 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes. (LXX)<\/span><\/p>\n

      According to the Scriptures, the <\/span><\/a>Torah of the Lord is perfect, restores the soul, the Torah is the testimony of the Lord, and it is given to make one wise, the ordinances of the Lord are right and the commandment enlightens the eyes. If <\/span><\/a>studying God\u2019s Law restores, speaks truth, is trustworthy, and makes one wise, how often should we be studying the Torah? At a minimum, one should read through the Torah once every year, the reason being it contains the ways and the will of God for how we should be living our lives. Like the Lord who sets the stars on their path, so the Lord God Almighty, sets the soul of man on its path in His Torah.

(NASB) <\/span> The Lord makes known our faults and forgives our sins (<\/span>19:11-13<\/span>). According to <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 19:9<\/span>, David says that the fear (<\/span>\u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea<\/span>) of the Lord is clean (<\/span>\u05d8\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4<\/span>) in the sense of ritual purity and it endures forever. How is the fear of the Lord clean? Looking at <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 19:7-9<\/span>, we read David commenting on the Torah, the testimony, the precepts, and the commandments of God. We know that the word Torah (<\/span>\u05ea\u05d5\u05e8\u05d4<\/span>) has the meaning of \u201cinstruction\u201d or \u201cteaching\u201d and God teaches through His testimony, precepts, and commandments. The teaching of God is truth. David said the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever. What is this fear? The Hebrew word <\/span>\u05d9\u05e8\u05d0<\/span> has the meaning to be <\/span>\u201cfearful, dreadful, respecting, venerating\u201d<\/span> thus fear is another word for reverence or awe. According to <\/span>Romans 3<\/span>, mankind\u2019s spiritual condition before God is <\/span>\u201cnone are righteous, none understand, none seek for God, all have turned aside, all are useless, none do good, and there is no fear of God before their eyes.\u201d<\/span> Man\u2019s true spiritual condition prior to salvation is a total absence of a proper submission and reverence for the Lord God Almighty. <\/span>Jeremiah 32:38-41<\/span> states <\/span>\u05dc\u05d7 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5\u05bc \u05dc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b8\u05dd \u05d5\u05b7\u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b8\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd: \u05dc\u05d8 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b8\u05ea\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b8\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b5\u05d1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d3 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d3\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05da\u05b0 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d3 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05db\u05bc\u05b8\u05dc-\u05d4\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d8\u05d5\u05b9\u05d1 \u05dc\u05b8\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05b0\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd: \u05de \u05d5\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05e8\u05b7\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b8\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05dc\u05b8\u05dd \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0-\u05d0\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05d1 \u05de\u05b5\u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05e8\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b5\u05d9\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b8\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b8\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05bc\u05b5\u05df \u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b8\u05d1\u05b8\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e1\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05de\u05b5\u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b8\u05d9: \u05de\u05d0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e9\u05b7\u05b9\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b2\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b5\u05d8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05ea\u05b8\u05dd \u05d5\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05d8\u05b7\u05e2\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05d4\u05b7\u05d6\u05bc\u05b9\u05d0\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b6\u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b6\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc-\u05dc\u05b4\u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05dc-\u05e0\u05b7\u05e4\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9:<\/span> 32:38 \u2018They shall be My people, and I will be their God; 32:39 and I will give them one heart and one way, that they may fear Me always, for their own good and for the good of their children after them. 32:40 \u2018I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and <\/span>I will put the fear of Me in their hearts<\/span> so that they will not turn away from Me. 32:41 \u2018I will rejoice over them to do them good and will faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart and with all My soul.

In addition to this, David says that the fear of the Lord and His judgments are <\/span>\u05d9\u05d0 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05bc\u05b6\u05d7\u05b1\u05de\u05b8\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05b4\u05d6\u05bc\u05b8\u05d4\u05b8\u05d1 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b4\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05d6 \u05e8\u05b8\u05d1 \u05d5\u05bc\u05de\u05b0\u05ea\u05d5\u05bc\u05e7\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05b4\u05d3\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d5\u05b0\u05e0\u05b9\u05e4\u05b6\u05ea \u05e6\u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd: <\/span> 19:10 They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb. (NASB) <\/span> How are the judgments of God desirable and sweeter than honey? It appears that the Lord makes known our faults, we repent of our sins and He forgives. This is the way of the Lord, it is more desirable than gold and sweeter than honey. The fear of the Lord keeps our lives in check. On the other hand, to deliberately disobey God is an act of rebellion, and it can bring God\u2019s judgment upon us. Studying the scriptures, the Lord God does not always chasten His children every time they do something wrong. The Lord is gentle and patient with us. The psalmist said in <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 103:10<\/span>, <\/span>\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05db\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05d8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b8\u05e9\u05b8\u05b9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b8\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d5\u05b0\u05dc\u05b9\u05d0 \u05db\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05d5\u05b9\u05e0\u05b9\u05ea\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05dc \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc: \u05d9\u05d0 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05db\u05b4\u05d2\u05b0\u05d1\u05b9\u05d4\u05bc\u05b7 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05d2\u05bc\u05b8\u05d1\u05b7\u05e8 \u05d7\u05b7\u05e1\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9 \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05d9\u05b0\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0\u05b8\u05d9\u05d5:<\/span> \u201cHe has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor punished us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.\u201d<\/span> The psalmist recognized that God is very gracious and exceedingly patient with His children. While recognizing that God is very patient and forbearing with us, we must also realize that a single act of willful disobedience can have serious and far-reaching consequences. Take for example the disobedience in the Garden of Eden, the a single act of disobedience on the part of the first man and woman that brought sin and death into this world, along with all the sorrow, heartache, and tragedy that results from sin. (<\/span>Note that evolutionary theory stands in stark contradiction to the Word of God and one has no concept of why there is death and pain in this world if one holds to the idea that God uses evolution in his creative process.<\/span>) And a single act of disobedience on our part can have tragic and even life changing consequences. We read of this throughout the history of Israel and Judah. Studying the books of 1 and 2 Kings, the kings of Israel appeared to be more wicked than the kings of Judah. The lifespan of the kings of Israel, the number of years they reigned as king, was significantly shorter than those of the kings of Judah. When a king walked righteously before the Lord, the Lord extended his reign and life for many years. If a king did evil in the eyes of the Lord, his reign and life span were drastically shortened. There is great wisdom in the words of <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 19<\/span> that direct us to the study of the Torah of God. <\/span><\/p>\n

      Our father in heaven knows that we are not naturally obedient to Him. It is by the Lord\u2019s judgments that we learn to be obedient to Him. And note that only God\u2019s children are able to perceive that it is the Lord who is working in their lives and the need for repentance and seeking forgiveness of sins.

In <\/span><\/a>Parashat Naso (<\/span>Bamidbar \/ Numbers 4:21-7:89<\/span>), the Lord speaks to Moshe that when a person sins he is to make restitution by confessing their sin and then adding one-fifth to the wrong and giving it to the person that he has wronged.

      Bamidbar \/ Numbers 5:6-8<\/span><\/p>\n

      5:6 \u2018Speak to the sons of Israel, \u2018When a man or woman commits any of the sins of mankind, acting unfaithfully against the Lord, and that person is guilty, 5:7 then he shall confess his sins which he has committed, and he shall make restitution in full for his wrong and add to it one-fifth of it, and give it to him whom he has wronged. 5:8 \u2018But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution which is made for the wrong must go to the Lord for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which atonement is made for him. (NASB)<\/span><\/p>\n

      The reading from Parashat Naso reveals to us what God requires of us; one must turn from sin and confess his or her sin before the Lord. These verses speak of repentance, specifically that a person is to <\/span>\u201crepent from his sin\u201d<\/span> \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b5\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05de\u05d5\u05b9<\/span> where the word <\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b5\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/span> \u201cHeshiv\u201d means \u201cto turn\u201d indicating that repentance requires us to physically (taking action) turn from sin and not simply show remorse in the heart. This is why we find in the Torah command to also make restitution for the sin that was committed. Make restitution to the person who was wronged, if that is not possible, do so to the persons kinsman redeemer, if that is not possible, then give the restitution to the priests because one has also sinned against God by sining against our neighbor. Repentance begins in our hearts and goes from our head to our toes. If repentance remains in the heart and does not reach our feet then we will not turn from our evil ways which is the very nature of the word repentance (<\/span>\u05d4\u05b5\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/span>) to turn from the paths of unrighteousness to the path of righteousness that God wants for us. In <\/span>Tehillim \/ Psalms 32<\/span>, David says <\/span>32:3 When I kept silent about my sin, my body wasted away Through my groaning all day long. 32:4 For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me; My vitality was drained away as with the fever heat of summer. Selah. 32:5 I acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, \u2018I will confess my transgressions to the Lord\u2019; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah. 32:6 Therefore, let everyone who is godly pray to You in a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters they will not reach him. (NASB)<\/span> David said that <\/span>\u201cwhen I kept silent about my sin my body wasted away.\u201d<\/span> Have you ever sinned and not made it right with the Lord and as a result has your body ever <\/span>\u201cgroaned all day long\u201d<\/span> because of it? According to David, the hand of the Lord was tichbad (<\/span>\u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05db\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d3<\/span>) heavy upon him day and night (<\/span>32:4<\/span>). These verses suggest that the Lord was working in David leading him to repent from his sin. He says <\/span>\u201cI acknowledged my sin to You, And my iniquity I did not hide; I said, \u2018I will confess my transgressions (\u05e4\u05b0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05e2\u05b7\u05d9) to the Lord\u2019; And You forgave the guilt of my sin. Selah.\u201d<\/span> (<\/span>32:5<\/span>) even the smallest sin needs to be confessed before the Lord. The Scriptures from the Torah in sefer <\/span>Bamidbar \/ Numbers 5:7<\/span> tell us that repentance (<\/span>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b5\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1<\/span>) and confession work together. This is very similar to what the Apostle John said in <\/span>1 John 1:9<\/span> \u1f10\u1f70\u03bd \u1f41\u03bc\u03bf\u03bb\u03bf\u03b3\u1ff6\u03bc\u03b5\u03bd \u03c4\u1f70\u03c2 \u1f01\u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u1f77\u03b1\u03c2 \u1f21\u03bc\u1ff6\u03bd, \u03c0\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u1f79\u03c2 \u1f10\u03c3\u03c4\u03b9\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03b4\u1f77\u03ba\u03b1\u03b9\u03bf\u03c2 \u1f35\u03bd\u03b1 \u1f00\u03c6\u1fc7 \u1f21\u03bc\u1fd6\u03bd \u03c4\u1f70\u03c2 \u1f01\u03bc\u03b1\u03c1\u03c4\u1f77\u03b1\u03c2 \u03ba\u03b1\u1f76 \u03ba\u03b1\u03b8\u03b1\u03c1\u1f77\u03c3\u1fc3 \u1f21\u03bc\u1fb6\u03c2 \u1f00\u03c0\u1f78 \u03c0\u1f71\u03c3\u03b7\u03c2 \u1f00\u03b4\u03b9\u03ba\u1f77\u03b1\u03c2. 1:9 \u201cIf we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.\u201d (NASB)<\/span> In the book of Samuel, Eli heard all of the wickedness that his sons committed before the Lord. On hearing this he said <\/span>1 Samuel 2:25 \u201cIf one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?\u201d (NASB)<\/span> The Scriptures say in <\/span>Luke 19:10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.\u201d (ESV)<\/span> Today we have one who will speak and intercede as an advocate before our Father in Heaven (<\/span>1 John 2:1<\/span>) Yeshua the Messiah. Yeshua said in <\/span>John 6:40 For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.\u201d (ESV)<\/span> This is the Lords will, to save those who are lost. We have been given the promise that if we confess and turn from our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This is what is meant when David said. <\/span>\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e8\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05ea \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 | \u05d8\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4 \u05e2\u05d5\u05b9\u05de\u05b6\u05d3\u05b6\u05ea \u05dc\u05b8\u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05de\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b0\u05d8\u05b5\u05d9-\u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d0\u05b1\u05de\u05b6\u05ea \u05e6\u05b8\u05d3\u05b0\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc \u05d9\u05b7\u05d7\u05b0\u05d3\u05bc\u05b8\u05d5: <\/span> 19:9 The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. (NASB) <\/span>And<\/span> the Aramaic translation saying <\/span>\u05d9 \u05d3\u05d7\u05dc\u05ea\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d3\u05db\u05d9\u05d0 \u05e7\u05d9\u05d9\u05de\u05d0 \u05dc\u05e2\u05dc\u05de\u05d9\u05df \u05dc\u05e2\u05dc\u05dd \u05d3\u05d9\u05e0\u05d9\u05d9\u05d0 \u05d3\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d9\u05de\u05e0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d0 \u05d6\u05db\u05d9\u05d0\u05d5 \u05d6\u05db\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05db\u05d7\u05d3\u05d0\u05c3 <\/span>19:10 The fear of the Lord is pure, lasting forever; the judgments of the Lord are faithfulness; they are altogether just. (EMC) <\/span> The judgments of God are faithfulness (<\/span>\u05d4\u05d9\u05de\u05e0\u05d5\u05ea\u05d0<\/span>) for the purpose of leading to forgiveness and righteousness. In this the Lord God Almighty remains faithful to the covenant of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to Moshe, to David, and in Yeshua our Savior. The Lord always remains faithful and true to us, we need to take our lives, our faith, and God\u2019s word and remain faithful to Him too. The Creator of the Universe is calling out and looking for those who seek Him. We serve a wonderful God, a God who is faithful and true. Halleluiah! <\/span><\/p>\n
