Be Encouraged!
Words of encouragement from the heart of YAH.
 
Encouraging word of the week: 5-10
Feeling Discouraged?

“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer supplication with thanksgiving, let your request be made known to YAH, and the peace of YAH, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Yeshua the Messiah.
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy, meditate on these things.”

Philippians 4; 6 - 8.

Verse of the Week: Matthew 24:14

“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.”

Yeshua’s words remind us that the end of the age is not disconnected from the mission of Yehovah’s people. The message that must go to the nations is not a detached, lawless gospel. It is the good news of the Kingdom: the reign of the God of Israel, the restoration of all things, and the return of Yeshua the Messiah to rule from Jerusalem.

From the beginning, Yehovah’s covenant purposes have always included both Israel and the nations. Abraham was called so that through his seed all the families of the earth would be blessed. The prophets saw a day when the nations would stream to Zion, learn the ways of Yehovah, and walk in His Torah. Yeshua did not cancel that hope. He confirmed it.

This is why the gospel of the Kingdom must be proclaimed as a witness to all nations. It is a call to repent, turn from idols, receive the forgiveness made available through the blood of Messiah, and come under the righteous rule of Yehovah. It is also a call to endurance, obedience, and faithfulness as the world moves toward the Day of Yehovah.

The last days are not a time for fear or spiritual passivity. They are a time for the remnant to stand firm, keep the commandments of Yehovah, hold fast to the testimony of Yeshua, and bear witness to the coming King.

Yeshua is returning. He will gather His people, judge the nations, restore Israel, and establish the Kingdom promised by the prophets. Until that day, our task is clear: proclaim the gospel of the Kingdom, walk in covenant faithfulness, and prepare the way of Yehovah.

“Tomorrow is a day of solemn rest, a holy Sabbath to the Lord; bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over lay aside to be kept till the morning.” -- Exodus 16:23

Are We Acting with Hostility Toward Yehovah?

Have you ever come face to face with a hostile dog? It doesn’t matter whether you approach it with friendliness, fear, or neutrality—it will still bare its teeth, ready to threaten or attack.

Regrettably, we often respond in much the same way toward the Instructions—the Torah—of Yehovah.

To better understand this, consider a couple of definitions:

Hostile: opposed or antagonistic.
Hostility: a provocative, contrary attitude—often without cause—toward another living being. It involves abusive and aggressive behavior that may manifest as emotional or physical harm, whether from an individual, a small group, or a larger collective.

Some dogs are so hostile they even bite the hand of their master.

Leviticus 26:14–41 clearly and thoroughly defines what Yehovah considers hostility toward Him: disobedience to the Torah, rejection and contempt of His statutes, and the breaking of the covenant made with Him.

This is exactly what our forefathers did. As a result, they were exiled by the Assyrians and removed from the land Yehovah had given as an inheritance.

Persistently, they chose to abandon the instruction meant to make them the most blessed nation on earth. They exchanged truth for deception, which led... Continue reading: 👇

The Choice That Defines Our Outcome
Parashot B'har - B'chukkotai

When Yehovah establishes times of rest, He is not reducing productivity—He is teaching dependence. The cycles of the land, the release of debts, and the blessings tied to obedience remind us that true security does not come from constant striving, but from walking within His order.

Yet there is also a clear warning: ignoring His instructions is never neutral—it carries consequences. The history of Israel makes this undeniable.

Today the question is personal: are we trusting in our own systems, or aligning our lives with Yehovah’s design? Because that choice determines whether we live under blessing… or correction. Find more here: 👇

Verse of the Week: Zechariah 14:9

“And Yehovah shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Yehovah, and his name one.”

This verse gives the believer a clear horizon. History is not moving toward chaos forever. The nations are not ultimately ruled by kings, empires, ideologies, or antichrist powers. The final word belongs to Yehovah.

Zechariah points us to a real kingdom, a real King, and a real day when the God of Israel will be openly acknowledged over all the earth. This is not merely symbolic comfort. It is the prophetic hope of Scripture. Yeshua will reign. Jerusalem will matter. The nations will be brought under His righteous rule. Every false throne will fall.

For the follower of Yeshua, this should produce both sobriety and courage. Sobriety, because the days ahead will test the people of God. Scripture does not promise an easy road before the kingdom comes. It calls us to patient endurance, faithfulness, and witness. Courage, because the outcome is already declared. The Lamb wins. The King returns. The earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of Yehovah.

So this week, live with the end in view. Pray for Israel. Pray for the nations. Refuse despair. Do not measure reality by the headlines alone. Measure it by the promises of Yehovah.

Yeshua will be King over all the earth. Yeshua will reign from Jerusalem. That is where history is going.
