Verse of the Week: Psalm 2:12
“Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.”
Psalm 2 presents Yeshua not merely as a suffering servant, but as the coming King who will rule the nations from Zion. The rulers of the earth may resist His authority, construct their own systems, and imagine that history belongs to them, but Scripture declares that Yeshua will have the final word.
To “kiss the Son” is to submit to Yeshua, honor Him, and recognize His rightful authority. This is not only a warning for kings and political leaders. It is a call to every believer. Our confidence cannot rest in governments, financial institutions, military power, or human strategies. Every earthly kingdom is temporary, but the kingdom of Yeshua will endure forever.
Submission to Yeshua must also be demonstrated through obedience. Yeshua did not come to lead His people away from the instructions of Yehovah. He perfectly walked in Torah and called His disciples to lives of righteousness, faithfulness, mercy, justice, and holiness. Torah observance is not a means of earning salvation. It is the response of a redeemed people who love Yehovah, honor His covenant, and desire to walk as Yeshua walked.
Biblical prophecy should therefore produce faithfulness rather than fear. The world may grow increasingly unstable, but Yeshua is not struggling to gain control. Yehovah has already appointed Him as King. Those who oppose Him will face judgment, while those who take refuge in Him are called blessed. Those who await His kingdom should be preparing now by obeying Yehovah’s commandments, rejecting lawlessness, and remaining faithful to the testimony of Yeshua.
So, this week, examine where your confidence rests and whether your daily life reflects submission to Yeshua. Study the scriptures, obey what Yehovah has revealed, practice justice and mercy, honor His appointed times, and reject the idea that grace gives us permission to disregard His instructions. Remain faithful, live with expectancy, and take refuge in the Son, because His kingdom is coming and His rule will never end.
“And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Messiah rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.” -- Colossians 3:14–15
Throughout the Bible, indeed from the very beginning through the end, laboring in birth is a concept that YeHoVaH uses to describe intense suffering, transition, and even a curse.
In Genesis 3:16, we read:
To the woman He said, “I will greatly increase your pain from conception to labor. In pain will you give birth to children…”
This is a reality we are well acquainted with in our physical existence. Pregnancy and labor are amongst the most difficult events of the human experience — mostly for mothers, but surely the struggle is felt by all family members at times.
And, yet, even in the midst of a corrupt and fallen world, this experience of bringing forth children through suffering remains one of the most, if not the most, revered and treasured of the human experience. It is filled with pain, change, and even heartbreak in some cases. Yet, people remain willing to traverse this path for the sake of the fruit it brings forth. For generations, we have deemed the cost of pregnancy and labor worthy of the prize!
The undeniable joy of bringing forth life into this world is something we all rejoice in — believer or not! I believe this is why YeHoVaH, in all His wisdom, chose this as a consequence for humanity’s fall in the garden.
In John 16:21, we read:
“When a woman is in labor, she has pain because her hour has come. But when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish, because of the joy that a human being has been born into the world.”
There is a great prize on the horizon. And, just as a child is born into the world, it will be brought forth through great suffering and sacrifice. Indeed, the suffering and sacrifice itself has been placed on the shoulders of the King himself who is coming to take back the dominion of Creation that was handed over to the serpent in the garden.
And, rightly so, we who will receive salvation from this King will partake in some of that suffering and sacrifice. The history of humanity can be paralleled to a (really) long pregnancy. The growth, transition, and discomfort universally felt by man is not without purpose. We need not struggle in vain!
When we accept the gift of salvation in Yeshua, we receive the promise of our sorrow being turned to joy.
You see, the curse Eve and her progeny received of bringing forth children in pain was really a blessing in disguise. It was the love story of humanity and their Creator wrapped up into an experience that every human on earth could understand. The Father’s plan of redemption was set into action that very day, and it would bring forth The Son who would take on the curse in our place.
As the birth pangs intensify, we remind you that soon it will all be worth it. I know that Yeshua’s words will ring true: that all of our sorrow will be forgotten the moment we hold the fulfillment of the promise in our hands.
So, hold on. Breathe. Your redemption draws nigh.
Qadosh (קָדוֹשׁ) signifies the essence of divine separation—what belongs wholly to Yehovah and reflects His nature. It is not merely moral purity but a state of being set apart, distinct from the ordinary. When Scripture declares, “Be holy, for I am holy,” it calls humanity into alignment with the Creator’s character—living in covenant identity, purpose, and reverence. Qadosh reminds us that holiness is both invitation and transformation: to rise above the common and radiate the light of the One who sanctifies.
I love it when YHVH directs a path. These 2 couples, Jane & Kevin Kenneway (rt) and Kay & John Farmer (lft) are Ambassadors and have been partners with ARAI for a long time. The Kenneways live in Linden TN and the Farmers are RV Travelers, and just happened to be parked in Linden. Was talking to Kay and told her I know one of our partners that lives in Linden, and she said please give her my info so we can connect. I checked with Jane to see if it was alright for them to switch info, and she said "ABSOLUTELY!"
They hit it off and loved being with other like-minded believers.
I just find it amazing that out of all the places and people in the world, these 2 couples connected because of A Rood Awakening International.... and Ruach HaKodesh.
Encouraging Word of the Week ✨
A Promise of Protection
Hebrew: Haganah
Romans 8:38,39
For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor messengers nor principalities nor powers, neither the present nor the future, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of Elohim which is in Messiah Yeshua our Master.
Verse of the Week: Revelation 5:9
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”
Revelation 5 brings us into one of the most important scenes in Scripture. John is caught up into the throne room of Yehovah, where a scroll sealed with seven seals waits to be opened. The question goes out across heaven: Who is worthy?
No one is found worthy. Not an angel, prophet, king, elder, or any created being can step forward and bring the purposes of Yehovah to their appointed conclusion.
Then John is told not to weep, because the Lion of the tribe of Judah has overcome. But when he looks, he sees a Lamb standing as though slain.
This is the mystery at the center of our hope. The conquering King is the crucified Messiah. The One who will judge the nations is the One who first gave Himself for the nations. Yeshua is worthy because He was slain, and by His blood, He redeemed people from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation.
This redemption is not small. It is not private spirituality or about going to heaven when we die. The blood of Yeshua creates a people for Yehovah: a priestly kingdom, a holy inheritance, and a witness among the nations until the King returns.
And because we have been redeemed to Yehovah, our lives are no longer our own. We are not to continue in lawlessness. Torah is the righteous instruction of our Father, showing His covenant people how to walk in holiness. Obedience is the fruit of belonging to the Lamb.
At Sinai, Yehovah called Israel to be a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. In Revelation, we see that calling brought to its completion in Messiah. The Lamb has done what no one else could do. He has obeyed where Adam failed, overcome where Israel stumbled, and now receives the nations from the hand of the Father.
So, this week, do not live as though the world is spinning out of control. Live as one who belongs to the Lamb who was slain. Fix your hope on the return of Yeshua. Refuse compromise with the spirit of this age. Pray for Israel and the nations. Bear witness with courage. Walk in the commandments of Yehovah as a redeemed son or daughter of the Kingdom. The Lamb is worthy, and He will bring the Kingdom of Yehovah to the earth.
