TEVET 22
Do YOU Know Him?
“… But the people who KNOW their
Elohim …” (Dan
11:32, emphasis mine)
Most of us are familiar with the
image of Queen Elizabeth II; if we are shown a picture of the Queen, it is not
difficult for us to recognize who it is.
But, can we say that we ‘know’ her?
Does she like cauliflower or spinach?
Is her favorite color red or perhaps blue? Does she prefer movies, or the History
Channel? There is no way for us to know
these things without spending time with Her Royal Highness, and this is the key
word: time. Relationships of any kind mean an
investment of our time and of ourselves, in order for them to be a
success. This includes our relationship
with our Creator, Yahweh our Elohim.
Do you know Him, or
just about Him? I know certain
things about Queen Elizabeth, from different articles I have read, or speeches
I have heard her give, but I do not know her personally. Unfortunately, many people have this same type
of relationship with our Abba Father; they know who He is, they know He
is the Creator, they know He is the Redeemer, and the soon coming King. But they have never invested the time to know
HIM.
We are living in a very turbulent time;
there are those who believe we are in the time of what Messiah Yeshua referred
to as “the beginning of sorrows” (Mat 24:8).
We see Jews worldwide returning to their homeland, the small nation of
Israel that was re-born on May 14th, 1948 (see Jer 32:37-41; Eze
34:11-14; Amos 9:14-15). We have “wars,
and rumors of wars” (Mat 24:6), “famines and earthquakes in various places”
(Mat 24:7), and “because lawlessness {TORAH-lessness} will abound, the love of
many will grow cold” (Mat 24:12). I am
not any type of ‘end time watcher’; however, those people who spend quality
time with our Elohim, who know their God, will have the witness that
events are heating up. It is past time
to know our Creator and Elohim, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, intimately,
closely, and completely, to draw near, draw nigh unto Him, and let Him
whisper His wisdom into our hearts.
“And this is everlasting
life, that they should KNOW You, the only true Elohim, and יהושע Messiah
whom You have sent.” (John 17:3, emphasis
mine)
