Encouraging Word of the Week

In need of Courage, Stay the course!

Rev. 12;10 -11

And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim, and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down.

“And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Verse of the Week: John 20:21

“Yeshua said to them again, ‘Shalom aleichem! As My Father has sent Me, I also send you.’”

After the resurrection, Yeshua did not merely comfort His disciples. He commissioned them. His first word was shalom, peace, and from that place of peace He sent them forward with purpose. The Father sent Yeshua with truth, authority, and obedience, and now Yeshua sends His followers in the same spirit: to carry His message, reflect His character, and walk faithfully in the calling He gives.

This verse reminds us that being sent by Messiah is not about self-promotion or religious performance. It is about representing the One who sent us. The disciples were not left alone in fear; they were given peace, direction, and a mission. In the same way, we are called to step out with confidence, knowing that the One who sends us also goes with us.

To be sent by Yeshua is to live as a witness of the coming Kingdom. We do not go out as those trying to build our own name or defend our own reputation. We go as servants of the King who is returning to Jerusalem, restoring Israel, judging the nations in righteousness, and filling the earth with the knowledge of the glory of Yehovah.

The peace Yeshua gives is not passivity. It is the settled confidence of those who know how the story ends. The same Messiah who breathed peace over fearful disciples will return in power, and until that day, He sends His people into a troubled world as faithful witnesses.

This means our call is both simple and costly. We proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom. We bear witness to the crucified and risen Messiah. We love Israel and the nations according to the promises of God. We endure with patience. We refuse fear. We walk in holiness, humility, and obedience, keeping the commandments of Yehovah and keeping the faith in Yeshua knowing that the One who sends us will also sustain us.

So, this week, receive the shalom of the risen Messiah before you step into the work He has placed before you. Serve as one sent by the King, bearing witness to His coming Kingdom with courage, humility, endurance, and obedience.

Shalom, dear members of A Rood Awakening!

We are publishing an infographic that summarizes the most relevant aspects of the Torah portion Naso, covering Numbers 4:21–7:89.

In it, you will find two topics of special interest. The first is the Priestly Blessing, the blessing that Yehovah commanded for His people, along with archaeological evidence that confirms its antiquity. The second topic explores the Nazirite vow, explaining its various aspects and highlighting several Nazirites mentioned in biblical history, including the apostle Paul.

Now a question for you:

Did you know that Yeshua was not a Nazirite? And what do you think about the possibility that Yeshua most likely did not wear long hair, since that idea is based more on tradition than on biblical and historical evidence?

You can use this resource to share the topic with your family and friends, encouraging them to explore the Torah and deepen their understanding of the Scriptures.

We look forward to reading your comments.

“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath,
From doing your pleasure on My holy day,
And call the Sabbath a delight,
The holy day of the Lord honorable,
And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways,
Nor finding your own pleasure,
Nor speaking your own words,
Then you shall delight yourself in the Lord;
And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth,
And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father.
The mouth of the Lord has spoken. -- Isaiah 58:13-14

Encouraging Word of the Week

Never Fear, YAH is near!

2 Timothy 1-7 ISR

"For Elohim has not given us a spirit of cowardice, but of power and of love and of self-control."

Verse of the Week: Acts 3:21

“Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.”

This verse reminds us that Yeshua is not absent because the story has stalled. He is seated in heaven until the appointed time when Yehovah sends Him back to complete what the prophets promised.

The hope of the faithful is not “going to heaven.” It is the return of the King, the restoration of all things, the redemption of Israel, the judgment of wickedness, and the establishment of righteousness among the nations.

Peter did not preach vague religious optimism. He preached Yeshua as the crucified, risen, and returning Messiah. The prophets were not speaking in abstractions. They spoke of Jerusalem, Israel, the nations, resurrection, judgment, mercy, and the reign of the Son of David. Biblical hope is concrete. It has geography. It has history. It has a throne.

So, this week, let Acts 3:21 correct small thinking. The gospel is personal, but it is not private. Yeshua willingly died in the place of the guilty party, but He will also come to restore all things. He forgives, but He also reigns. He comforts His people, but He also calls them to readiness, holiness, witness, and endurance.

The proper response is not date-setting or speculation. It is repentance, sobriety, prayer, love for Israel, compassion for the nations, and faithful proclamation of Yeshua until He comes.

“Moreover I gave them My Sabbaths, to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am Yehovah who sanctifies them.” --Ezekiel 20:12
