The Modern Disguises of the Occult
The occult rarely presents itself as evil. Today, it often comes disguised as entertainment, spirituality, personal empowerment, “alternative science,” or harmless curiosity.
From movies and video games to astrology, tarot, WitchTok, and New Age practices, ideas that Scripture clearly warns against have quietly become part of everyday culture. But when darkness no longer looks like darkness, discernment becomes more important than ever.
Are we recognizing the disguise?
We invite you to read The Modern Disguises of the Occult and discover why the Torah’s ancient warnings are remarkably relevant to our generation.

Shalom, A Rood Awakening family!
This week we continue our journey through the Torah with Shoftim — “Judges,” from Deuteronomy 16:18–21:9.
In these chapters, Yehovah teaches Israel about justice, righteous leadership, the responsibilities of judges and kings, and the importance of hearing and obeying His Word. These ancient instructions still have much to teach us about how Yehovah desires His people to live today.
We invite you to visit this week’s Shoftim page at A Rood Awakening, where you’ll find teachings and resources to help you dig deeper into this portion of Scripture.
Visit the Shoftim page and continue exploring the Torah with us this week!
Shabbat Shalom!

THE SABBATH SHOWDOWN: THE FINAL SUBPOENA By Executive Producer ~Mike Molinar~.
Please comment if you have enjoyed these!
WHEN HEALING IS A CRIME !!
Imagine being born completely blind. For your entire life, you’ve lived in pitch darkness, begging by the roadside. Then, Yeshua (Jesus) spits on the ground, makes mud with His saliva, applies it to your eyes, and tells you to wash in the Pool of Siloam. You wash—and suddenly, for the very first time in your life, YOU CAN SEE! (John 9:1-7).
You would expect the local religious leaders, the rabbis who claimed to represent the God of Israel, to weep tears of joy and throw a massive celebration for this incredible, heavenly miracle.
Did they rejoice? NOPE. Do you know what the very first thing this man saw after his eyes were opened? Instead of a community full of love and celebration, the first thing he sees is a Rabbinic Subpoena. He is dragged straight into a religious court interrogation (John 9:13).

### The Interrogation and the "Mud-Making" Loophole
Why were they furious instead of ecstatic? Because Yeshua deliberately chose to do this on Shabbat, right in front of their man-made legal systems.
According to the oral traditions later recorded in the Mishnah (*Seder Moed, Shabbat 7:2*), there are 39 categories of forbidden work (*Melachot*) on the Sabbath. Two of these strictly forbidden categories are:
1. **Kneading (*Lash*):** Combining a liquid and a powder to form a paste or dough. By mixing saliva with dirt, Yeshua technically violated their rabbinic restriction against "making mud."
2. **Smeating/Scraping (*Memachek*):** Spreading a paste or salve over a surface (like putting mud on eyes).
Because Yeshua chose compassion over their man-made codes, the leaders immediately blinded themselves to the miracle. They literally stated: “This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath” (John 9:16). They called the Messiah a "sinner" simply because He bypassed their extra rules to deliver a human being from darkness!

### Spiritual Blindness & The Broken Family
The pure malice of this religious system didn't stop there. The leaders were so desperate to protect their authority that they dragged the healed man's parents into court to interrogate them too (John 9:18-23).
The parents were absolutely terrified because the leaders had already decreed that anyone who confessed Yeshua as Messiah would be excommunicated and thrown out of the synagogue (*Cherem*). Think about the psychological cruelty of that system: they cared so little about human restoration that they threatened to destroy a family's social and spiritual standing just to keep their control.
When the healed man stood his ground and boldly pointed out the obvious—*“Nobody has ever heard of opening the eyes of a man born blind. If this man were not from God, he could do nothing”*—they snapped. Their response? “You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!” And they threw him out (John 9:30-34).

### The Weightier Matters of Sinai
This is the ultimate proof of a broken religious mindset. When legalistic systems value their own "fences" and traditions over justice, mercy, and love, they develop a profound spiritual blindness. They would literally rather keep a man blind than see their man-made rules broken.
Moses explicitly commanded us in Deuteronomy 4:2 and Deuteronomy 12:32 never to add to or subtract from God's Word. The simple covenant at Mount Sinai was built on loving God and loving your neighbor. It didn't include thousands of pages of loopholes that make healing a crime.
Stop letting organized religious systems and human commentary dictate your walk with the Creator. Get back to the unfiltered Word. Get back to Mount Sinai. Obey Moses, and obey Yeshua!

Praise YAH for Healing!
Hebrew: "Rapha"
Psalm 103:1-5
Bless Yahovah, O my being, And all that is within me, Bless His set-apart Name!
Bless Yahovah, O my being, And do not forget all His dealings,

Who satisfies your desire with the good, Your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
