After I received the green light from the Ministry of the Interior in Israel yesterday for a two-month stay, starting before Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles), I immediately tried to get a room at Beit Tovei Ha’Ir in Jerusalem, where I have been staying since 2007. I open the mail today expectantly. A little shock! “No place in the hostel!” That God is good for surprises is not new to me.
The consolation is already there, in the form of Isaiah 42, verses 1-9. I came across the text through the internal massa (lot). Verse 6 especially poses:
אני יהוה קראתיך בצדק ואחזק בידך ואצרך ואתנך לברית עם לאור גוים
ani YAHWEH keraticha vetzedek veachsek beyadecha veetzorcha veetencha liwrit am le’or goyim
“I, YAHWEH, have called you (Messiah) in righteousness, and I want to hold on to your hand! And I want to keep you! And I will give you to the covenant of the people (as a gift); to the light of the heathen people. “(own translation)
“Justice” and “Righteous” are linguistically closely related. (June 19, 2012 in connection with my baptismal proclamation) I know that as a righteous person I have been called to justice. “And I want to hold on to your hand …” corresponds entirely to the promise of August 12, 1980 in Reichenschwand:
“If you entrust yourself to Me and put your hand in My hand and let Me guide you, you should cross the border with Me into a new country that you did not know, and whose miracles are so great that the most beautiful thing is you can only imagine a shadow against it. But be careful not to stop if I want to go on with you! “
I remember the Hasid from the fall of 2006 in Jerusalem, who called me from a small front garden and asked me in an imperative tone to become Jewish. Reason: Jesus was a Jew! YAHWEH wants to give me as a gift to his people.
The cancellation of the retirement home makes me realize that the days of my own initiatives are over. The time for my website to go online is imminent, I believe. I am convinced that a dynamic of its own will develop afterwards.
The sentence: “and I (YAHWEH) want to hold onto your (Messiah) hand …) almost sounds like if I were the initiator (in the new dynamic). I want to keep an eye on this so as not to tear myself away from the hand of Yahweh. It is precious to me that it continues to say: “And I want to keep you!” I don’t have to weigh everything up fearfully. God will show me necessary corrections.
