Two Important principles of Torah are:

1. The Principle of Providing for the Needy. This was done by leaving the corners of the Field unharvested, and by not retrieving any ears of grain that fall in the process. The Needy are then invited to Work the Fields to retrieve what they can. This is called "Gleaning". The Needy must WORK to get their food, so it is not a "Welfare System". This way, their Dignity and Self-Respect remains intact.

2. The principle of the "Kinsman Redeemer". If a man dies childless, his nearest male relative has the option of marrying his widow and continuing his Name and Lineage. This incurs some debt and obligation, however.

We see BOTH of these wise and wonderful Torah Precepts at work in this Beautiful Love Story which is not only The Story of King David's Great Grandmother, but a "type" of The LORD's Love For Us, as we are ALL poor and needy without Him!

Come and Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem

Psalm 126

A Harvest of Joy, A Song of Ascents.

1When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,*
we were like those who dream.
2Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
and our tongue with shouts of joy;
then it was said among the nations,
‘The Lord has done great things for them.’
3The Lord has done great things for us,
and we rejoiced.

4Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5May those who sow in tears
reap with shouts of joy.
6Those who go out weeping,
bearing the seed for sowing,
shall come home with shouts of joy,
carrying their sheaves.

" ...11. Boaz replied to her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know. 12. "May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge." 13. Then she said, "I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants." 14. At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left. 15. When she rose to glean, Boaz commanded his servants, saying, "Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not insult her. 16. "Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her." 17. So she gleaned in the field until evening. Then she beat out what she had gleaned, and it was about an ephah of barley." ...

Great is Our God, Worthy, Worthy Worthy is He. Thank You for the multitude of blessings that You give us everyday, LORD. Of our self we can do nothing. We are Your people. Fill us with a measure of the Holy Spirit, keep us in You will and forgive our transgressions as we forgive those that transgress against us.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And pray that we the people wake up and see that by not standing with Israel our govenment is cursing our land and they we return to God our father for our savaltion and restroration.

Here is book I found that documents well each time that Jerusalem is meddled with that catastrophy happens to those that would try and take the land from the Jews. God’s chosen people.

The Isreal Omen

About the Book
Something very strange has been taking place in the world. It has gone largely unnoticed because the events in question have been separated, in some cases, by years. It began in 1991 and continues to this day.

Since 1991, the timing of a number of catastrophic events closely mirrors the timing of actions taken that would be considered negative for the state of Israel.

These events are well documented. Since 1991, there have been ten documented catastrophes that have occurred with timing that has coincided with efforts to remove the “Promised Land” from Israel. Long ago, the ancient Hebrew scriptures warned of cataclysms that would result from these actions against Israel.

But, there is more. Straight from the pages of these ancient Hebrew scriptures and into today’s headlines is an international group which was described in detail over 2500 years ago. It now appears that the actions of this group may impact the world in a way never before imagined.

The Israel Omen explores the connections between the prophecies of the past and the events of today. Read it and you may never see news about the Middle East or catastrophes in the same light again.

Another outstanding thread, meaningful paintings that bring Scripture to life.

We have no idea just how difficult it must have been (and still is in certain lands) to live in such strict caste systems, where social strata are clearly and narrowly defined. So, with that in mind, I give praise and humble thanks to our Father for blessing us with such a land and way of life, we must retain it for his glory. I thank You Abba for the bountiful harvests, full grocery store shelves and other gifts that we take for granted.

Let us keep Jerusalem foremost in our prayers, as we are admonished to do; for the good of all, to secure His blessings and that we might walk more circumspectly and humbly, not taking for granted these gifts and always reaching out to others to share them but to also present his Word boldly and unapologetically but with true Christian love.

Thank you LTOS, and AMEN.
