Hi, Doves!Twice since rededicating my life to Yahshua in 2002 and truly beginning to walk in the Spirit, the Lord has impressed upon me two words (popped into my head out of the clear blue!), neither of which I've ever even USED in a sentence, the second of which I'd never even HEARD of, and had to look up on Wikipedia.  The first word came to me in about 2003 or 2004, and I've shared it with you, though it's been a long time ago.  It was on a workday, early morning.  I had just woken up and gone to the bathroom before starting the coffee, etc.  I was sitting in the bathroom, when the word "Triumvirate" popped into my head out of nowhere!  I literally couldn't shake the word from my head all that day!  Here's what Wikipedia has to say about that word:

The term triumvirate is commonly used to describe a political regime dominated by three powerful political and/or military leaders. The arrangement can be formal or informal, and though the three are usually equal on paper, in reality this is rarely the case. The term can also be used to describe a state with three different military leaders who all claim to be the sole leader of the state.

They go on to say how there have been ROMAN Triumvirates twice in the past.  Interesting in view of the fact that the AC will be of Roman descent, and there will be, during the tribulation, a Triumvirate of Satan, The Antichrist, and The False Prophet!!!  Now, WHY He popped it into my head at that time, I have NO idea!!!

The second word was "Hasidic" (this happened about 3 months ago on a Sunday night), which at the time, I'd never even HEARD of until the other day when I was getting my Daily Update together.  Here's what Religion Facts website (http://www.religionfacts.com/judaism/denominations/hasidic.htm) has to say about that term:

The modern Hasidic movement was founded in Poland in the 18th century by Israel ben Eliezer, more commonly known as the Baal Shem Tov ("Master of the Good Name") or "the Besht" (an acronym for Baal Shem Tov). Heavily influenced by the Kabbalah movement, Hasidism emphasized personal experiences of God over religious education and ritual. The primary distinction between modern Hasidism and its earlier incarnation is modern Hasidism's rejection of asceticism and emphasis on the holiness of everyday life.

So, it is steeped in Kabbalah and mysticism, neither of which I follow, so it's even more unusual to have that word popped into my head!  And they are an offshoot of Haredi Judaism, according to Wikipedia.

And here's what Wikipedia had to say about Haredi:

Haredi or Charedi Judaism, often referred to as Ultra-Orthodox Judaism, is the most theologically conservative form of Orthodox Judaism. The term "ultra-Orthodox" is controversial, as it is often considered to be demeaning, and is rarely used by the Jews to whom it is applied; they generally prefer terms such as Haredi (derived from Harada (fear, anxiety), which could be interpreted as "one who trembles in awe of God"—cf. Isaiah 66:2,5), Yeshivish, Torah Jew, or Hasidic (in the case of Hasidic Jews).

Haredi Jews, like other Orthodox Jews, consider their belief system and religious practices to extend in an unbroken chain back to Moses and the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. As a result, they consider non-Orthodox denominations to be unjustifiable deviations from authentic Judaism, both because of other denominations' doubts concerning the divine revelation of Written and Oral Torah, and because of their rejection of Halakhic (or Jewish legal) precedent as binding.
The newspaper article was about the Gay Pride event to be held in J'lem, and the Haredi, which they called the Jewish Right in the article, was planning to confront the Gay Pride participants about their lifestyle.  And I'm not sure why He popped that word into my head either, but He did indeed!Any ideas???  I can be reached at peggym@his-forever.com, as well as on 5 Doves, because never a day goes by that John uploads to 5 Doves, that I'm not there!  :)

YSIC!
