MICAH 5:2 Complete Jewish Bible

Micah 5:1... Complete Jewish Bible (CJB)

But you, Beit-Lechem near Efrat,so small among the clans of Y’hudah,out of you will come forth to me the future ruler of Isra’el,whose origins are far in the past, back in ancient times.

Neither is there SALVATION in any other; for there is NO OTHER NAME+ under Heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12

That at the NAME of YESHUA+ every knee shall bow, of beings in Heaven, beings in earth, and beings under the earth; and that every tongue should proclaim that YESHUA+ MASHIYACH+ is LORD, to the Glory of ALAHA, His+ FATHER.
Philippians 2:10-11

HE+ Opened Their Understanding ...



Resurrection Season

Day 14

 of the 40 Days

The LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA

spent with His+ Disciples,

in His+ Glorified Body,

 AFTER HIS+ RESURRECTION !

 +  +  +

 Knowing that the M'SHIKHA+

being raised from the dead dieth no more;

Death hath no more dominion over HIM+.

Romans 6: 9

+  +  +


And as they [ the men from Emmaus ]  thus spake, Y'SHU+ HIMSELF+ stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them,

Peace be unto you.

But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. And HE+ said unto them,

Why are ye troubled?

and why do thoughts arise

in your hearts?

 

Behold My+ hands and My+ feet,

that it is I+ Myself+:

 

handle ME+, and see;

for a spirit hath not flesh and bones,

as ye see ME+ have.

 

And when HE+ had thus spoken, HE+ shewed them His+ hands and His+ feet. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, HE+ said unto them,

Have ye here any meat?

And they gave HIM+ a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. And HE+ took it, and did eat before them. And HE+ said unto them,

These are the words

which   I+   spake unto you,

while   I+   was yet with you,

 

that all things must be fulfilled,

which were written in the Law of Moses,

and in the Prophets,

and in the Psalms,

concerning ME+.

 

Then opened HE+ their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,

Luke 24: 36-45

+  +  +

They did NOT RECEIVE the Testimony...

 

The LORD Y'SHU+ appeared in His+ glorified Body to the Company of His+ Disciples.

Although Followers of Y'SHU+, these men --- every one of them His+ disciples ---  were not with Peter nor with the Women of the Company nor with the men walking to Emmaus and thus, they had missed seeing the Resurrected LORD Y'SHU+. 

The Company of His+ Followers did not believe ANY reports of their fellow Followers ! They did not believe that The LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA was risen from the dead !

They did Not Receive their Witness.

They had watched HIM+ die, themselves being scared to death.  They were gathered together in Jerusalem somewhere, when SUDDENLY HE+ APPEARED among them.

 

Unlike a spirit, HE+ spoke to them and His+ words were very familiar: 

 

" Peace unto you !" HE+ said.

 

Did that bring them "peace" ?

NO... because they did not receive His+ Words . They were terrified and frightened.  They thought they had SEEN a SPIRIT !

 

So, HE+ told them to observe  His+ hands and His+ feet ... undoubtedly as a means to identify HIMSELF+,  that it was indeed HE+ HIMSELF+ , to these terrified disciples who had watched HIM+ die. 

 

HE+ invited them to touch HIM+ in His+ Glorified Body .

 

HE+ even gave them a rational, concrete explanation: "... for a spirit has not flesh and bones, as you see ME+ have."

 Then HE+ showed them His+ hands and His+ feet.

YET they BELIEVED NOT for joy, and wondered !

Then, HE+ ate before them.  Undoubtedly, every eye was trained upon His+ biting, chewing, and swallowing!

As they opened their hearts in Belief

to RECEIVE the TRUTH

of what they perceived

through their senses,

 

HE+ opened their understanding

that they might understand

The Scriptures.

 

ALL things written of HIM+ in the Prophets and the Law of Moses and the Psalms concerning HIMSELF+  had to be fulfilled , HE+ explained to them.  

 +  +  +

 

O, LORD Y'SHU+ the M'SHIKHA, 

The First-Born from the Dead,

 ... help me to remember that my heart must be open to the Truth before I can understand it with my mind.

 

Help me to minister Thy Word+ to others in a way that their hearts are pierced. Then I will know that YOU+, O LORD, will open their understanding of it.

Keep me from teaching to the mind when I ought to be reaching the heart .

O LORD Y'SHU+, Master of men's hearts, show me how to so bring my life in line with Thy+ Truth... that without a word spoken, others will see YOU+ , standing among them.

Blessing and Honor, Glory and Power be unto The LAMB+ forever and ever ! Amen.
