Newsletter March 27, 2020

As we are all bearing with the Coronavirus epidemic - Covid 19 - we pray all of you are safe and sound. It is a time to reflect upon Yahweh, and ask for healing of our land, and all nations of the world. 

if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14.)

 

So let's on a personal and spiritual level follow that prescription for healing this pandemic. This verse reminds us that we are each tied together to make this joint effort and prayer. 

 

I thought I would bring to your attention some of the latest news since 2015. Five years is a lot of time, and a lot of articles have happened since the last email newsletter. 

 

There are major learning events since then to review quickly first. 

 

 

The Purpose of Acts

First, since then I learned that Luke was writing Acts as part two of Luke's Gospel to inform a legal defense team of Paul at the upcoming trial of Paul at Rome before Nero. See link. 

This makes sense now why there seems in Acts to be a focus of exonerating Paul for Trophimus' entry into the Temple in an uncircumcised state, thereby abominationg it which incensed  the Jews from Asia visiting the Temple against Paul -- Trophimus' traveling companion.

This also explains why Luke mentions the famous Python priestess -- a demon-possessed sothsayer who was paid handsomly to prophesy among the credulous pagans of Europe -- endorsed Paul's "way of salvation." (Acts 16:16) (See our article.) While Luke would have to know that should raise concerns among followers of Jesus about the validity of Paul's demon-backed gospel, it now makes sense why Luke included this. For Nero would be strongly influenced to acquit Paul, as he did in this trial. (See link.) Luke's success had likely very much to do with including that event with the Python Priestess. For Nero was a pagan through-and-through.

 

Isaiah 28: Trusting SHA'UL versus the Foundation Stone.

 

In 2015, I stumbled across another pivotal prophesy in the Law & Prophets naming Paul by name. See link. It says in opposition to a "foundation stone" laid at Jerusalem -- which passage Jesus invoked about himself -- would come one named S'HL. While that is typically translated in English as if the Hebrew word is SHEOL -- the grave, one needs to know S'HL can be transliterated in the Hebrew as SHA' UL. This is in English translated as SAUL, Paul's Hebrew name.

Isaiah prophesies that Yahweh says instead of following the "foundation stone," many people will form a covenant with S'HL, believing S'HL will grant them protection when the "whip" passes through -- a symbol of judgment. Why do the people make this decision to hold a covenant with S'HL to avoid God's judgment, and reject the foundation stone laid by Yahweh in Jerusalem who provides a true delivery message? Because the people of the covenant with S'HL have taken "refuge in lies."
