The beginning of the Young Lions of Judah Ministry resolved
from the reading of the Old Testament in particular the Book of Genesis that
the final blessings Jacobs gave to all his children indicated that the eventual
return of the Young Lion of Judah will complete the prophecy in the Bible as a
collective whole. We are waiting just
like all the people throughout the generations are waiting for the imminent
return to take place. No one has ever
questioned why Jesus can stay in the high place without drinking or
eating. Nobody has ever questioned their
mind or their hearts why they shall look forward to the second coming of the
Son of God. Perhaps only those of who
were sacked in the City of Jerusalem on the Day the defensive lines of the City
was finally bleached by the incessant assaults of the 10th Legion of
the Imperial Roman Army. Who knows what
will happen saved those whose life has been given up to their Lord and
Savior-Jesus Christ.
The echoing back and forth between the Words of Lord Jesus
Christ and the descriptions of the actual scenes that Josephus described in his
writings regarding the sieges over Jerusalem, and her subsequent fall have
given us the insight of the heart wrecking natural of the unwillingness and disbelief
the Jews bore in the time of Herod the Great.
The fall of the defensive barricades all around the City gave ways to
how it was and what it meant when the Romans had finally arrived at the Temple
Mount. Woe to those whose life had to be
forfeited under the intense activities of the destruction taking place by the
order of the Roman Generals.
Pitiful as it was, although two thousand years have gone by,
the sorrowfulness of the beholders of the tragic events could not have turned
the table around, nor should they have escaped from that route, even though it
was the easiest way to get out of the decimated City Orders in no time. Today it serves as a reminder to the modern
ones like all of us as to why and when it all tumbled down once the push came
to a hold. Yet, time waited for no
man. The night was longer than that of
the day while the powerless people gripped on the thread of the unfinished
Tapestries of the Kingdom of David. Knowingly
in their mind, sometimes in their souls, the deeply buried outcries of their
hearts yielding the wide open space to become the melodramatic stages of the
recipients on exile-the one way ticket of going.
En gang til-the same mistake that took them away, has also
taking them back when 1948 has finally dawned on the wake of the peaceful
transition of the Lord Balfour Declaration that resumed the United Nations'
Resolution 181.
How that was possible when the absence of the
representations earned the absentees the majority vote is a mystery. How that was possible when a powerless people
grabbed the scepter from the Rulers of this World calls for applause. How was
that God, the God their ancestors worshipped and enraged resumed the course of
action after two millenniums baffles us.
We then have to go into Micah 5:8 and Micah 6:8 to sense and to ply a
way that will truly bail us out of the nominal dividend mindset. The focus of our plot points directly to
Revelation 5:5.
24 Elders with their Crowns of Gold bowed down to G-d and
the Elected Only Begotten Son of God.
The stage historically and in spiritual realm have to adjust its light
to zero in on the event beyond our wildest imagination that the visible and the
invisible converges at this typical point whence time exists no longer. Heller is the only word needed at time and
time again. All the knees will bow and
all the tongues confess to the King of Kings and the Lord of the Lords. Waves of worshippers innumerable both the
Angelic beings and the Saints salute their Lord and Savior-Jesus the Christ,
the grandiloquent orchestra in Heaven paid their homages.
The scroll that has the 7 seals has been given to the Lamb of G-d that which
contains the edicts of the Almighty. Of course, if you need the brev: letters, to be sent to Jerusalem, you have to
have a post office box in the Postal Mansion. The Lion, sometimes looks like an
elephant, is the place to receive your mails.
Walk across the Ben Yehuda, the Kosher Chinese Restaurant is on your
right. Take a seat, the gourmet dishes
will come along. Take a sip of the
English Breakfast Tea, and grinding on a couple of the short bread, makes a
good day to visit. Hopefully, you are happy with the choice selected.
Then, came the appointed time for the Ministry to become
actively engaged within the realm of the Palestine under the British Mandate,
which was the results of the Balfour Declaration, from which the Resolution 181
of the United Nations General Assembly was generated. During the Transitional period of the
establishment of the Jewish nation, we called Israel now-a-day, had several
Figurative Persons to represent the leadership of the territory.
The getting together of the High Commissioners during such
short period of time was rather phenomenal and somewhat eccentric as to what
has become of the separated entities of the Mandate the desire to uphold can
only be perceived not to be realized.
The logistics of the supportive infrastructure to the area is only the
sortie of the pastime. Time has changed,
so also the essence of being infinitely retaining the strongholds saved much of
the joyful memories for many whose livelihood depended solely on the existence
of the faith to wish and to hold the land for a single purpose by far: that is
to live on so also the by gone years added to the historic landmass a
distinctive layer of modernity and unfamiliarity.
The ladies still keep the house tallied tediously and
tinny. The youngsters organized their
families each according to their uniqueness and perchance. Out of the many places one could have stayed
in life, only the one last place still keeps all the belongings at the time of
the initial visit.
The Music of Waltz playing by the Orchestra has never ceased nor ended, although the families
lined up like the time axis going straight forward without leaving any remarks
for the late comers to trace. The
tapestry of life linked only one thing and one thing for sure-the length of our
days. Iambic footings meted not the
steps of our feet. The swings and the
circling of the fox trots needed not memory, perhaps some guidance was all that
required to pair up the unification manifesto.
Eradicated not the beholders, for this time, short from others, was just
in the beginning. Rest not, gave the age
of our days. Redeem the time that is all
you needed.
The Presence of the High Commissioners indeed elated the
mood and the motion of the celebrations in a time and place neutral to all
could have been the first initiative out of many. Nonetheless, the presence of the Ladies
taking care of the furniture and to preserve its uniqueness had made the new
comers moved on in swiftly and quickly.
Homey as it could be, neat and ready, tediously meeting all the
expectations of the youngsters.
Perhaps there were people who had been longing to join such a
group dynamics similar to this one a while back, or maybe it was their livelihood
that we simply stepped into. But, it was
a new moon, and it reflected the desires to better one's tomorrow today. Likewise, it is our desire to minimize such
hustles, so that all people who had been served, ministered, worked, and lived
in the territory shall be included on the newsreel.
All those whose feet have never been wet by the water in the
Jordan River, shall also have their wishes established so that one day soon
they too can be their own guide from the many readings of the Bible. Such a time like this to follow the footsteps
of their Savior and Lord Jesus Christ into all arena of life is only a matter
of time in the wilderness of the Judean Desert.
Would the hot wind rise so to bring the candidates of Jesus Christ to
their designated paths throughout the given world is not a question to debate,
rather a commitment to fulfill?
Maybe, just Maybe the Father in Heaven is a Jewish. He is
the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of Israel. From the Ancient of Days to the Birth of
Jesus Christ, to Parousia, YHWH is G-d.
Shema O Israel, Adonai Elohenu, Adonai ehchad, baruck shenkvu, mahu-u
udon, reho ravayeh. Hear Oh Israel the
Lord thy God is One God. There is no other gods besides Him.
Although this is rather a short sentence, but it calls for
the devotional studies in the rabbinic literature and liturgy with the cantorial
practices and the mastery of Hebrew, if indeed you need to talk with G-d about
something serious like Moses.
The 70 electors summoned in the wilderness, the 72
apostles surged and scaled the hill countries of Israel, the twelve disciples
of Jesus, the 7 deacons in the days of the Pentecost, the numerous
missionaries, the endless streams of monks, of nuns, of ministers, of priests,
of pastors, of prophets are all part of the scheme and elements of the Kingdom
of Heaven. They were sent by Jesus
their Lord and Savior to carry out the tasks and to fulfill their callings to
the end of the World to follow Him.
One of the most significant events took place in the Qin
Dynasty China that Mandarin had ruled the Continent of Asia for a period of
well over 300 years forged the beginning of the Reformation in local church
history recently was the 7 elites from the Cambridge, York Shire, and other
parts of England during the middle to the late period of the Empire of Cathay. There
were more than one could know or to be accounted for during this period of time
since their records were no longer available, obviously some were missing due
to the untimely and unforeseen events of their life. However, these persons had contributed to the
future successes to evangelism in China.
It was their passion and compassions that had spearheaded the emergence
of the cultural jet streams between the East and the West. China could not have become a modern Country
had it not been exposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ by the ministerial activities all over the inner
part of the ancient land.
The forerunners of the then "China Inland Mission" had the desires of been vanquished
under the thick cloud of the drastically détente international diplomacy over
the fairness to part take in the natural, not in the spiritual, then the way to
establish a furthermore foot hold will no longer be available. Old soldiers they do not died, they simply
fade away along with the pages of the weathered wreath at the head of their
tombstones should there be a blessed good ferry whose solemn duty was to carry
out and to carry on what was told and to tell the next man on duty. Solemnity was only the beginning to tell a
story that was told or never had been told.
Grappled with the umbrella, trod upon the watery ponds in
the sunny afternoon street next to the bus stop exemplified the sweat soaked
T-shirt under the baking Sun justified the need to have one's rain coat
unpacked, if not already twisted and folded in the brief. Much ado about nothing: The dramatic show down by the alibi of the
cozy dressed high school gals marked the attentions of the romanticized
youngsters. Courteously, he saluted the
young woman with his beaver skinned fur hat, not matching up with the occasion
of their moment of silence. The box
Pandora enjoyed opening it up for the world to know that beauty does have her
price. Fumbling was his hands all over
the news that had sprung out of the legibly printed 12-point Gothic font. Bellowing out of his chest a gash of breathe unwinding
the despondent mood that could only last as long as he could hold the cry for
excitement of the approval of the affidavit to travel and to accompany the fair
lady to a remote land known as Shangri-La to all of us. Teddy opened the way.
