Counting the Omar to Shavuot
Hope everyone had great Passover.
This article is from Leviticus 19;1-20:27, off Tim Heggs Torah Resource site. I have applied it to current events in our world this week, most importantly Elon Musk buying Twitter.
The Torah is a guide to life. Be Holy, for I, the Lord am Holy. Chapter 19 of Leviticus deals with relationships between members of the community: children to parents, parents to children, community to the alien, man to his neighbors and each toward the deaf, the blind, etc. This opening section prohibits impartial judgement, slander, hating fellow countrymen, being judgmental, bearing a grudge and sexual misconduct.
The love and compassion for neighbor is not found in disregarding Gods laws in favor of our own feelings and perspectives. We cannot lower Gods standards of justice to accommodate our notions of love.
Society in general cries out for caring, compassion, for a sense that someone is concerned about sin -laden man… and yet, if all we do is apply Torah like a judge’s gavel in people’s lives, we have missed a great deal of what the Torah teaches us about Love.
We must learn to tell our worldly neighbors and work mates that the God who has eternal standards (which we all have broken) is still the God who wants to heal us and mend our souls. We must be able to speak these truths with the actions of our lives. Free speech, honesty, truthful compassion, is a freedom from God.
Our current regime in the USA has taken a lot of that freedom away. Musk represents someone fighting to uphold freedom of speech. True Holiness knows what it means to confront, to rebuke, even to punish, but it also knows what it means to care, to hurt for and with, and to do all in its power to let mercy shine through.
I’ve never been on twitter because I have heard and seen the horrible lies, anger and the hate spewed from this site. I’m waiting to see if Musk can make a difference. I’m on Truth Social, and Gettr, I trust those sites currently… and yet its slippery slope. Duck Duck Go as a search engine has recently been co-opted. The Biden Regime is already trying to stop any truth from emerging in our dying society. Ie; The Government sponsored Ministry of Disinformation… I’m Praying we continue to win back a voice to share the changing power of God’s Love.
I think it’s important to pray for all men and women trying to make a difference in the end time battle approaching our world. I lift Elon Musk’s attempt to give Freedom of Speech a voice, to Yeshua the only one who can save our true freedoms and give us a voice in the world of technology.
We already have The Lords Truths which we can speak freely about to all who will listen. Have a Blessed week. Prepare for the shortages of everything that are coming. Follow me on Gettr and Truth Social https://gettr.com/user/ruthepoh
