Shalom all,
    Here it is a New Day, on the Solar Calendar of a New Year, and a New Month.
All of the above are Not YHVY ELOCHIM's way for mankind to acknowledge New Beginnings.  Not one single one of them is an appointed time......except thru the ways of Idolatry!
    Yet, they are all the creation of our YHVH ELOCHIM....and when He looked upon His Creation He said IT IS GOOD!
     This morning as I read the headlines of another quaking and shaking in the TZunami area...and I saw the report on how many $'s are being pledged to relief efforts...I also noted as if it were in hylighted letters ....the war ships and personel troops going into the ravaged area.  And I remembered a remark made by Kofi Annaon yesterday, when he said..no amount will ever be enough to restore the area.  And immediately, this passage of scripture rang the bell of my brain:

Micah 4:3/and or Isa. 2:4  I like the Micah scripture best so I will quote it here. From the Tanach.

Micah 4:1) It will be in the end of days that the mountain of the Temple of Hashem will be firmly established as the most prominent of the mountains, and it will be exalted up above the hills, and peoples will stream to it.
            2) Many nations will go and say, 'Come, let us go up to the Mountain of Hashem and to the Temple of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in His paths.'  For from Zion shall go forth the TORAH, and the word of Hashem from Jerusalem.
            3) He will judge between many peoples, and will settle the arguments of mighty nations from far away.  They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning knives;  nation will not lift sword against nation, nor will they learn war anymore.
          4) They will sit, each man under his vine and under his fig tree, and none will make them afraid, for the mouth of Hashem, Master of Legions, has spoken.
          5) For all the peoples will go forth, each man in the name of his god, but we go forth with the Name of Hashem, our God, forever and ever."

     That Hebrew wording for the Name of Hashem, our God, forever and ever...is
B'shamim Yahuwey Eloheynu L'Olam V'ed.

   I have learned that one should NEVER interrupt G-D's WORDS....and though I have done so here....it is really important that we read the whole context of Micah.  For it all flows into what lies ahead in our daily newspapers.

For instance:  Look at the 6th. chap. when it appears that G-d has just taken a deep breath...before He continues on with His words.
   6:1)Listen, now, what Hashem says (to me):(this is Micah speaking, and about to continue the word from Hashem to him)....
         "Arise and contend before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice!"
       2)(what the people are to say)...Listen, you mountains, to the grievance of Hashem, and you bedrock, the foundations of the earth!  For Hashem has a grievance with HIS PEOPLE, and He will contend with Israel:

   And from here on thru the end of Micah....is how we should approach these days, before THE SABBATH OF THE LORD...that are upon us. Notice how the people of G-d are joined into a twosomeness.  Israel and those who choose to follow the scriptures of Creator YHVH Elochim.

here is a hyper-link that is very interesting:  it is called the 10-40 window because it is from the 10th degree meridian (below the equator) to the 40 degree meridian (above the equator).  In this window is the area of where the Tzunami struck.  This is the window of Idolatry (if you class christian out of Idolatry).  The only area in this window that was not struck is the area of the "praying Masshiach" (Saudi Arabia and Israel,& part of Turkey & Greek Islands).
   We were first shown this window, in our last visit to our daughter's home durring this holiday season.  When I was shown it, I noticed that Israel was grouped into the group of those called Idolaters.  And I was angred, for christianity can't be severed from her roots of Judaism.
   Today, when I look at this window...I see...that it marks the HIGH PLACES of Idolatry, which scripture indicates the Mount of the Temple of God is going to rise above.  That would have to be via the way of QUAKES....like the one that just happened.  Take a look at this window....what does it say to you?
