EZEKIEL 44:15-31
In this prophetic book, the Prophets see into the future, the future priests of the third temple, (to be built in the near future) the descendants of “Zadok” will be the priests in the millennium, and the same high standards are for these priests as well. It also states the job of the priest: “And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and unholy, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean” This should also be the goal of every Torah teacher, rabbi, minister, pastor, etc. to teach the WHOLE TORAH, the WHOLE BIBLE in their place of worship and study, so that their sheep might follow their shepherd wholeheartedly and secure.
LUKE 5:1-6:49
Yeshua speaks to the people from a boat. After teaching, He and Kefa go out on the lake, and the result is a boatload of fish. Kefa hears, yet protests, “We fished all night and caught nothing.” Yet he still obeys and “reaps the harvest.” Many fish are taken home to sell and eat.
With simple obedience through faith, we can all reap the blessings that YHVH has in store for us. A little bit of faith, trust, and obedience, will bring in a big catch. Now, Kefa is promoted to be a “fisher-of-MEN” rescuing men’s souls from the grasp of HaSatan and bringing them into the Kingdom. Are you a fisher of men (and women) or are you still content with the small “fishy” things of life? You decide!
Yeshua also, after the blessing of many fish, healed three people; one who had a skin disease, a person who was paralyzed, and a person who was “worldly-minded.” To the first He said; “be cleansed” To the second one He said; “Your sins are forgiven you” To the third, (Who was Matthew) He just said; “Follow me!”
In all three cases, we have changed lives. When our sins are forgiven us, through repentance and accepting Yeshua as Messiah and LORD, we are “cleansed” (internally) and even at times, physically. And then, we “follow Him” which should be the logical reaction.
“I have not called the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Luke 5:32) We must understand that everyone who is “righteous” (in right standing) similar to “Kadosh” was at one time “a sinner” (living a lifestyle of sin and rebellion). So, it is a change for the better, from a lost sinner to a “righteous” one who has been “born again.” The lost sinner needs to be instructed by the Torah unto righteousness, and the righteous need to be instructed by the Torah to “stay guided in the Path of Righteousness”
We have all been called to minister unto those who need to know the LORD, to those who know the LORD yet need guidance, instruction, counsel,
But be aware that the enemy, Satan, will attack, and turn people against you, even some in your own household. Perhaps not the case with everyone, yet, the enemy is aware of you, and if you are serious in ministering, you are a threat to the kingdom of Satan.
Count it as a blessing that life on Earth is short and that before you know it, you will be standing before the LORD, to reap your reward, hopefully hear the Master's words; "Well done my faithful servant, welcome into the House of your LORD and Savior"
