Plugging In

Most of us crave connection with eternity. Wherever we plug into power beyond our mortal selves, we associate the surroundings with spiritual truth.

Seems to me that all religions based on seeking relationship with the One Creator God have genuine chargers somewhere in their chambers. What matters is not the style of furniture in the room, but whether our outlet joins us through Word and Spirit to the true Generator.

עַל־פִּ֤י יְהֹוָה֙ יַחֲנ֔וּ

וְעַל־פִּ֥י יְהֹוָ֖ה יִסָּ֑עוּ...

במדבר ט:כג

"According to HaShem they camped

and according to HaShem they traveled...

Numbers 9:23

וַיִּכְתֹּ֨ב מֹשֶׁ֜ה

אֶת־מוֹצָאֵיהֶ֛ם לְמַסְעֵיהֶ֖ם

עַל־פִּ֣י יְהוָ֑ה

וְאֵ֥לֶּה מַסְעֵיהֶ֖ם לְמוֹצָאֵיהֶֽם

במדבר לג:ב

"And Moshe wrote

their origins to their journeys

in accordance with HaShem

and these are their journeys to their origins."

Numbers 33:2

from our spiritual origins…

to our earthly journeys…

to our spiritual origins…

Torah + Prophets + Writings + New Covenant = Scripture clearly claiming inspiration by the Source of all = Scripture validated by science, history, prophecy, and wisdom.

If we believe the Bible, we know the end. All nations will recognize the God of Israel and learn to live according to their Creator’s instructions in love and light, justice and peace.

וְהָיָ֣ה בְּאַחֲרִ֣ית הַיָּמִ֗ים

נָכ֨וֹן יִֽהְיֶ֜ה הַ֤ר בֵּית־יְהֹוָה֙

בְּרֹ֣אשׁ הֶהָרִ֔ים

וְנִשָּׂ֖א מִגְּבָע֑וֹת

וְנָהֲר֥וּ אֵלָ֖יו כׇּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם

ישעיהו ב:ב

"And it will be in the last days,

the mountain of the house of HaShem will be established

at the head of the mountains

and elevated above the hills;

and all the nations will flow to it."

Isaiah 2:2

כִּ֤י כָאָ֙רֶץ֙ תּוֹצִ֣יא צִמְחָ֔הּ

וּכְגַנָּ֖ה זֵרוּעֶ֣יהָ תַצְמִ֑יחַ

כֵּ֣ן אֲדֹנָ֣י יְהוִ֗ה יַצְמִ֤יחַ צְדָקָה֙

וּתְהִלָּ֔ה נֶ֖גֶד כָּל־הַגּוֹיִֽם

ישעיה סא:יא

"For as the earth brings forth its growth

and as a garden sprouts up what is sown in it;

so the Lord HaShem will make righteousness sprout up,

and praise in front of all the nations."

Isaiah 61:11

Let's grow our roots into living water. Let's plug into the power Source we share!

יָבֵשׁ חָצִיר נָבֵל צִיץ

וּדְבַר-אֱלֹהֵינוּ יָקוּם לְעוֹלָם

ישעיה מ:ח

"The grass withers, the flower fades;

and the Word of our God will endure forever."

Isaiah 40:8​​

וְאוּלָם כַּכָּתוּב:

עַיִן לֹא רָאֲתָה

וְאֹזֶן לֹא שָׁמְעָה,

וְלֹא עָלָה עַל לֵב אָדָם

אֶת אֲשֶׁר הֵכִין הָאֱלֹהִים לְאוֹהֲבָיו

אגרת שאול הראשונה אל הקורינתים ב:ט

"And nevertheless as it is written:

'Eye has not seen

and ear has not heard

and human heart has not conceived

what God has prepared for those who love him'"

1 Corinthians 2:9
