Welcome to this week's Parasha "Sukkot" (Tabernacles)

Tonight begins the Festival of Sukkot (Tabernacles)

Here in Israel and around the world, the Jewish People are spending time in the sukkot (plural of sukkah) that they built when Yom Kippur ended just days ago. This holiday is a pilgrimage festival linked to the fall harvest, so it is also known as Chag HaAsif (Festival of Ingathering).

In Biblical times, every Israelite went up to Jerusalem to celebrate Sukkot at the Temple.

 Sukkot is a commemoration of the 40 years that Israel wandered in the wilderness and lived in temporary dwellings following the exodus from Egypt.

Familes and communities "Live in booths [sukkot] for seven days:  All native-born Israelites are to live in booths so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in booths when I brought them out of Egypt.'"  (Leviticus 23:42–43)

 This holiday is a very joyous one, so much so that it is also called Z'man Simchateinu, the Season of Rejoicing!

"On the first day you are to take choice fruit from the trees, and palm fronds, leafy branches and poplars, and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days."  (Leviticus 23:40, see also Nehemiah 8:15)

 Sukkot, which follows right after Rosh HaShanah (Day of Judgment) and Yom Kippur (the day the judgment is sealed), represents renewed fellowship with God.

Our thanks to the messianic bible team at www.biblesforisrael.com for this information and education and their support of joint fellowship that leads everyone to the ONLY GOD, The ONLY CREATOR, Amen (CESM)

SUNDAY, THE LORD'S DAY

THE MARKS OF THE TRUE CHRISTIAN

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom 1:16-17 kjv)

GREETINGS:

Welcome Dearly Beloved. By the WILL and Grace of GOD, we gather this day, here and around the globe with hundreds of believers, each with the same mission; to WORSHIP The CREATOR and HIS WORD. It is no coincidence or happen-stance that we all have gathered, WORSHIPING as one body together; CITIZENS ETERNAL in HIS KINGDOM to come. Together we grow in His "WORD". PRAISE HIS HALLOWED NAME! Rejoyce in HOPE; JESUS, our SAVIOR!

OPENING PRAYER: O' Mighty Father of all Creation, thank You for gathering us together from around the globe to receive Your message in Your "WORD". Open our minds, souls, and hearts to absorb as we read together "LIGHT" of life reflected from the Cross, a reverential reception of the Lord who guides us on a wondrous eternal journey. Permit this Holy study to edify His supreme deity as our Teacher, our Lord and Savior, our KING of KINGS Eternal, THE ALL MIGHTY, AMEN

Let us now consult the "WORD" and determine GOD'S TRUTH in HOLY SCRIPTURE:

THE "WORD":

REJOICE IN HOPE, DISPLAYING THE MARKS OF THE TRUE CHRISTIAN

The Apostle Paul teaches in Romans chapter 12

Rom 12:9-21 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. (10) Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; (11) not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; (12) rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, (13) contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. (14) Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

(15) Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. (16) Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

(17) Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. (18) If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. (19) Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. (20) "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD." (21) Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

CLOSING PRAYER: Almighty God, thank-You for this global assembly. These precious eyes reading, learning, growing and then sharing the wisdom of the "WORD" of our Master, our CREATOR, our GOD, the only GOD, through hungry souls no matter the tongue, the country, or the land.

Welcome to this week's Parasha "Ha'Azinu" (Listen)

Deuteronomy 32;1-52, Hosea 14:2-10, Micah 7:18-20, Joel 2:15-27, Romans 32:11:36

“Give ear [Ha’Azinu], Oh heavens, and I will speak …”  (Deuteronomy 32:1)

Last Parasha, Nitzavim-Vayelech concluded with Moses foreseeing that Israel would turn away from their covenant with God, causing Him to hide His face from them.  Still, Moses promised that the words of the Torah would not be “forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants.”  (Deuteronomy 31:21)

Let us now consult the "WORD" and determine GOD'S TRUTH in HOLY SCRIPTURE: "STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME" Matt 26:38 LX665-38

THE "WORD":

Jesus and the eleven disciples had just departed the upper room in Jerusalem heading for the Garden of Gethsemane. The Passover feast was done, Jesus washed the feet of the 12, and supped with them eating unleavened BREAD also know as Matzos, and WINE.

Here in Matthew Chapter 26 is the manner of conduct in the Holy Sacrament of the LORD'S SUPPER. As the BREAD is taken and the body nourished, the act of receiving of the name of the Lord JESUS, emblematically, into us as nourishment for the flesh and the Holy Spirit, soon to reside among your spirit (soul /mind). When you eat and drink, do so in glory to the savior Christ Jesus. (Matt 26:26 af)

Departing Jerusalem As they walked toward a garden of peace;

(Mat 26:31-45 nasb) Then Jesus *said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, 'I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.' (32) "But after I have been raised, I will go ahead of you to Galilee."

(33) But Peter said to Him, "Even though all may fall away because of You, I will never fall away." (34) Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." (35) Peter *said to Him, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing.

  

(36) Then Jesus *came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and *said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." (37) And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. (38) Then He *said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."

(39) And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will." (40) And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour? (41) "Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

(42) He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done." (43) Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. (44) And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

(45) Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. (Mat 26:31-45 nasb)

The betrayal of our Lord was completed, Judas led the accusers right to Him. Taking Him into custody, He was arrested then taken away. The prophetic words of the Christ regarding the abandonment by His disciples then took place, they all ran away and Jesus was now alone and facing death.

There is no reasonable doubt that Jesus had likely witnessed the horror of crucifixion at least once during the course of His tender 33 years. He being fully God and Fully Flesh, may have felt an autonomic systemic reaction in His flesh knowing full well that which He would soon face and suffer.

Many find this portion of the chapter to be ultra sad. Despite three years together, his followers still could not connect the dots. It would be days now until the eleven would finally realize that He did die, He was buried, and He would be rise from the grave. Even then, His half brother finally acknowledged and came to grips with the reality that his brother really was and is and will forever be The CHRIST!

CLOSING PRAYER: Almighty God, thank-You for this global assembly. These precious eyes reading, learning, growing and then sharing the wisdom of the "WORD" of our Master, our CREATOR, our GOD, the only GOD, through hungry souls no matter the tongue, the country, or the land.

THE "WORD":

OPEN YOUR EYES

(Gen 3:4-5) The serpent said to the woman, "You surely will not die! (5) "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

(2Co 11:3-4) But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. (4) For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

(Eph 6:10-11,13-17) ...be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. (11) Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm.

(14) Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS WITH TRUTH, and HAVING PUT ON THE BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, (15) and having shod YOUR FEET WITH THE PREPARATION OF THE GOSPEL OF PEACE; (16) in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. (17) And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Eph 6:10-11,13-17 nasb)

(2Co 2:10-11) But one whom you forgive anything, I forgive also; for indeed what I have forgiven, if I have forgiven anything, I did it for your sakes in the presence of Christ, (11) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes. (2Co 2:10-11 nasb)

THE "WORD" FOR SEPTEMBER 5/6, 2026--WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

CHRIST ETERNAL SENIOR MINISTRIES

SEPTEMBER 5/6, 2026 LX663-36

Sabbath Meditations

Welcome to this week's Dual Parasha

"NITZAVIM" (YOU ARE STANDING) + "VAYELECH" (AND HE WENT)

Deu 29:9(10)-31:30, ISA 61:10-63:9, Luke 24:13-43

“You are standing today, all of you, before Adonai your God—the heads of your tribes, your elders, your officials, all the men of Israel, (10) your children, your wives, and the outsider within your camp (from your woodchopper to your water carrier). (11) Each of you is to cross over into the covenant of Adonai your God that He is cutting with you today, and into His oath. (12) “This is in order to confirm you today as His people. So He will be your God, just as He promised you and just as He swore to your fathers—to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. (Deu 29:9-12 TLV)

SUNDAY, THE LORD'S DAY

For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith. (Rom 1:16-17 kjv)

GREETINGS:

Welcome Dearly Beloved. By the WILL and Grace of GOD, we thank You, Lord, for gathering us this day, here and around the globe. Hundreds of believers, each with the same mission; to KNOW and WORSHIP The CREATOR and HIS WORD. It is not by coincidence that you are here with the rest of us, WORSHIPING as one body together; CITIZENS ETERNAL in HIS KINGDOM to come. Together we grow in His "WORD". JESUS, our SAVIOR!, PRAISE HIS HALLOWED NAME!

OPENING PRAYER: O' Mighty Father of all Creation, thank You for gathering us together from around the globe to receive Your message in HOLY SCRIPTURE, Your "WORD". Open our minds, souls, and hearts to receive as we read together in the "LIGHT" reflected from the Cross, a reverential reception of the Lord guiding us on a wondrous eternal journey. Permit this Holy gathering to edify His supreme deity as our Teacher, our Lord and Savior, our KING of KINGS Eternal, THE ALL MIGHTY, AMEN

PROLOGUE : In the Apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians {also know as Judaizers for their belief that many Old Testament ceremonies and practices were binding in the New Testament church. Some even accused Paul of not being the REAL DEAL} Our God never promised any of the work HE commands to be easy. The promise is that HE will be with you to guide you through to the conclusion.

Let us now consult the "WORD" and determine GOD'S WISDOM AND TRUTH in HOLY SCRIPTURE:

THE "WORD":

WALKING IN THE SPIRIT

(Gal 5:16-26) As we open here in chapter five, Paul is addressing the "Judaizers...HE WRITES; I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. (17) For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

(18) But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

(19) Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, (20) idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, (21) envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

(22) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long suffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, (23) gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. (24) And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. (25) If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. (26) Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another. (Gal 5:16-26 nkjv)

As the Apostle's letter teaches and instructs, edifying as he writes, we have an opportunity to see the contrast between those who belong to Christ and those who certainly do not!

Perhaps we get wrapped around the hub over the term or action "to walk in the Spirit". Jesus is SPIRIT, as is the Father and the Holy Spirit (of GOD). We are FLESH. Flesh is not spirit. However, when we give ourselves completely to Jesus, we, at that moment, CRUCIFY and KILL the worldly flesh. Our full submersion baptism; being buried in the flesh, then raising up out of the water is a public declaration that we now belong to Jesus.

The soul {our mind, thoughts} in us is our SPIRIT. Believers, converts, may now combine our Spirit with the Holy Spirit, His thoughts and directions become our thoughts and direction. His way is now our way.

Walking in the SPIRIT is when your thoughts and actions are in line with the Lord and His Holy Scripture. Allow your Spirit (thoughts) be known to the Holy Spirit in you. Follow His lead, stay on the Holy Path on which HE guides you. That is how you WALK IN THE SPIRIT!  Be HOLY because HE is HOLY!

CLOSING PRAYER: Almighty God, thank-You for this global assembly. Your precious eyes are reading, learning, growing and then sharing the wisdom of the "WORD" of our Master, our CREATOR, our GOD, the only GOD, with and through hungry souls no matter the tongue, the country, or the land. Your blessings endure for ever and ever, and we are forever grateful, O' Lord Jesus, AMEN
