NAHARIYA, ISRAEL. Wednesday. 23.10.24
Today, is “Hoshana Raba”, meaning “Save Us Abba” (Father). A day of prayers, asking God for His salvation from all the enemies of the nation. There are lots of them right now and the prayers' area at the Kotel (Western Wall) in Jerusalem is packed.
I thank God that the nation is turning toward Him for help and acknowledging that only He can truly save us.
Tomorrow, is “Simchat Torah”, meaning, “Joy of the Torah” (God's law. The first 5 books of the bible). A day of gladness, for God gave us His word, His law thus declaring us His nation. However, tomorrow, (as per our Jewish calendar) is also a year to October 7 Massacre.
To
console those who mourn in Zion,
To give them beauty for
ashes,
The oil of joy for mourning,
The garment of praise for
the spirit of heaviness;
That they may be called trees of
righteousness,
The planting of the Lord,
that He may be glorified.”
Tomorrow, will be a day of immense gladness only if all the abducted hostages return home; only if God will turn the sadness, the heartaches, and
the horrors of the massacre into a day of freedom and return our people home.
(Jeremiah 31:16-17)
“Refrain
your voice from weeping,
And your eyes from tears;
For your
work shall be rewarded, says the Lord,
And
they shall come back from the land of the enemy.
There is hope in
your future, says the Lord,
That
your children shall come back to their own border.”
