Abraham's Prayer​

Sometimes, when you are praying about something for yourself, the best thing you can do is to forget about it and concentrate your prayers on the needs of others. If nothing else, you will discover gratitude for what you already have.

Abraham was one hundred years old. For all of his married life he had hoped for and prayed for the birth of a son, but Sarah, his wife, was barren. Her womb was closed. Ironically, when Abraham’s enemy Abimelech abducted Abraham’s wife Sarah, God sealed the wombs of all Abimelech’s wives. Even those women who were about to give birth found that they could not bear their children. The Talmud says, “It was stated at the academy of Rabbi Yannai that even the hens belonging to Abimelech could not lay their eggs” (b.Bava Kama 92a quoting Genesis 20:18).

After Abimelech returned Sarah to Abraham, he asked Abraham to pray for him. Abraham prayed for the healing of Abimelech’s household. Rabbinic literature uses this episode from Abraham’s life as a model of forgiveness:

From where do we learn that an injured person who refuses to forgive his injurer (when he apologizes) is called a cruel person? From the words, “Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech…” (b.Bava Kama 92a)

Whoever is merciful to his fellow is certainly a son of our father Abraham, and whosoever is not merciful to his fellow is certainly not a son of our father Abraham. (b.Beitzah 32b)

Ironically, Abraham’s prayer availed children for Abimelech and his wives immediately. Furthermore, immediately after the Torah tells us that Abraham prayed for Abimelech’s wives—that their wombs would be opened—we read, “Then the LORD took note of Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did for Sarah as He had promised. So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age…” (Genesis 21:1).

Not until Abraham prayed for others was his prayer for himself and his wife answered. Rashi says that the Torah put the passage regarding Abimelech’s wives just before the conception of and birth of Isaac intentionally. It is to teach us that whoever seeks mercy for another by praying for his need when he himself is needful of the same will have his own need met. At the very least, we learn here the principal of praying for others before ourselves.

Oman the next country to normalize relations with Israel, BEFORE the US elections; Saudi Arabia will announce normalization AFTER the elections

Believers are now led by the Spirit of God and not by the flesh. The challenge for us is to live by the Spirit AND walk by the Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives in us from the moment we are justified in Messiah, but we don’t necessarily let Him guide us every moment of every day. Living by the Spirit is akin to a train (us) moving on its tracks (Spirit). We might notice the landscape as we pass it, but we don’t get lost in it. If the train gets off its track, it derails and the results can be catastrophic. Ask God to keep you on the tracks today, and it is OK to ask more than once a day

Should Christians participate in Halloween

short answer: no.

Philippians 4:8 (NKJV)
Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

The Bereans were notorious for being serious students of the Scriptures. They never accepted a message without checking it against the word of God no matter who delivered it to them. They were excited and studious like we ought to be. No matter who teaches us from the Bible today, the ultimate test is the Bible itself, as the word of God is the living word and it never changes. Man’s authority should never supersede the authority of God’s counsel.

Remember Lot's Wife​

Ordinarily, God doesn't turn people into pillars of salt. What is the story of Lot's wife really about?

Lot and his family lived in the wicked city of Sodom. The Apostle Peter tells us that "righteous Lot" was oppressed by the sensual conduct of the men of Sodom, and his "righteous soul" was "tormented day after day by their lawless deeds" (2 Peter 2:7-8). Nevertheless, when God sent two angels to rescue Lot before the destruction of the city, Lot seemed reluctant to leave Sodom.

The Torah attributes Lot's rescue to the merit of Abraham: "God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow" (Genesis 19:29). The angels compelled Lot and his family to flee from Sodom, dragging them by the hands. Then they told them, "Escape for your life! Do not look behind you" (Genesis 19:17). As they fled, though, Lot's wife looked back and "became a pillar of salt" (Genesis 19:26).

Why did she turn to salt? The region of Sodom and Gomorrah is in the area of the Dead Sea, also known as the Salt Sea. The Dead Sea is famous for its extremely high salinity. The shores of the Dead Sea are frosted in salt deposits. Because she turned into a pillar of salt, the natural salt of the Dead Sea area became a reminder of Lot's wife for the generations to come.

Yeshua often warned His disciples about the troubled times to come. He foresaw days of persecution, the coming destruction of Jerusalem and a catastrophic day of judgment at the time of His second coming. He warned His disciples that at the time of His second coming, people will be caught unaware and unprepared. They will be like the people Sodom and Gomorrah, utterly unprepared for the moment of judgment:

In the days of Lot they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building; but on the day that Lot went out from Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed. (Luke 17:28-30)

Yeshua warns that we must be ready to let go of our things, our hopes, and our plans in an instant. We need to be able to let go of everything without turning back as Lot's wife did. He says, "Remember Lot's wife. Whoever seeks to keep his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life will preserve it" (Luke 17:32-33).

He was referring to literally fleeing for one's life in a time of tribulation and cataclysm, but His warning also carries an important spiritual lesson. Lot and his family were nearly swept up in the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah along with the rest of the inhabitants, not because they were wicked like the rest of the city but because they had allowed themselves to become attached to the place and the people. They did not indulge in all the vices of the material culture around them, but neither had they maintained a healthy distance from that culture. When it came time to flee, they found that they could not let it go. The angels had to drag them from the city, and even then, Lot's wife could not help but look back.

For Lot's wife, who went forth with him, being of a different mind from himself and not continuing in agreement with him as to the command which had been given them, was made an example of, so as to be a pillar of salt unto this day. This was done that all might know that those who are of a double mind, and who distrust the power of God, bring down judgment on themselves, and become a sign to all succeeding generations. (1 Clement 11:2)

Disciples of Yeshua are to be in the world, but not of the world. It is easy to let the comforts and mundane things of everyday life lull us into a sense of complacency. We tend to cling to the material world. It's busyness, pleasures, and concerns distract us from matters of spirituality and godliness. If we cannot let go of materialism, we will be double-minded like Lot's wife.

At Athens, Paul noticed that the people were heavily involved in idol worshiping. As a believer, he was very disturbed by that sort of activity and started to reason with his audience. Today, we live in a world punctuated and ruled by a myriad of idols. Many of them, we don’t even notice. Whatever keeps us from God’s word, prayer and an intimate relationship with Yeshua, is an idol that we are worshipping. Food, money, power, fame, etc...If it comes before God, it ends up replacing God.

Hungry Angels​

The rabbis say that angels neither eat nor drink nor sleep. So how did Abraham feed the three angels that visited him?

Three angels came to visit Abraham. He served them milk and meat: "He took curds and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and placed it before them; and he was standing by them under the tree as they ate" (Genesis 18:8). Forget about whether or not milk and meat are a permissible combination or not. The bigger question is, "Do angels eat?" The sages of the Talmudic age taught that angels do not eat:

Six things are said of human beings. They have three things in common with the ministering angels, and three things in common with animals. The three things they have in common with angels are that they have understanding like the ministering angels, they walk erect like the ministering angels and they can talk in the holy tongue [i.e. Hebrew] like the ministering angels. The three things they have in common with animals are that they eat and drink like animals, they reproduce like animals and they relieve themselves like animals. (b.Chagigah 16b)

Yeshua also taught that angels do not reproduce. One may safely assume that they do not eat or relieve themselves, but if that is the case with angels, how is it that Abraham served them and they ate his food? The sages explained that the angels only pretended to eat. They "seemed to be eating and drinking, the courses disappearing in order of arrival" (Leviticus Rabbah 34:8).In other words, while Abraham stood by, they made the appropriate chewing motions and miraculously dematerialized the food. Rashi says, "They only appeared to eat. From this we learn that a person should keep the local custom so as not to be offensive."

The concept that angels do not actually eat food explains a mysterious passage in the gospel of Luke. When the resurrected Yeshua appeared to his bewildered disciples, they first assumed that He was a ghost or an angel. To prove that He was really a human being, He asked for some food to eat:

While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish; and He took it and ate it before them. (Luke 24:41-43)
