“Virtue Signaling” ….. Wearing a badge that says: I care, I am good, I am obedient. What can we do to be “righteous” before G-d?
Religious deeds? “All our righteousness are as filthy rags” Isaiah 64.6
G-d says that this is the heritage of the LORD ( Avdi Adonai):
“YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS is OF ME”
Shma Verse: Isaiah 55.3 ” Incline your ear and come to me
HEAR AND YOUR SOUL SHALL LIVE”
“seek the LORD while he may be found
and call upon him while he is near” How much time do we spend reading and
studying His words?
The Basis of Sin( Avone in hebrew: means to distort/twist or pervert) can be found in Isaiah 65.5
“Come not near to me for I am holier than thou”
These are the words of man to G-d! ….” I don’t need you, I can do fine without you, I know everything already”….
Prophesy of the month:
Six hebrew words found in the 1st verse of Isaiah 64:
“Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down,
that the mountains might shake at thy presence…”
Hebrew word for “rend” (karata) is the same word for tearing cloth when one is in deepest agony
Hebrew word for “come down” (yearata) means to lower yourself into enemy territory
“And behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the earth did quake
and the rocks rent…and they feared greatly saying Truly this was (Ben Adonai)”
