Several months ago I was informed by my contacts in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard that the Basij had started a project that had the approval of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Yeshiva Sukkat David
 
 Study with Judah Messianic Torah Observant Teachers in Israel.
 

  The Dutch translation of the Yeshiva material has started, praise the L-rd! You can contribute to this work by making a donation for  the costs. Please write: For the Dutch translation. Thank you!


 A comment from one member of the Yeshiva:
I can't say enough about your teaching. I find myself 
thinking all day about what is being said.   Your approach 
is like I have not seen before. I find them very informative and inspiring. Shalom and Blessings    
 
You have two possibilities to study: Complete training with graduation or Personal enrichment.
 
The Complete training will allow those who want to teach Torah to be part of our network of Torah teachers, who desire to start a Yeshiva in their home or at their kehila. Sukkat David will offer help to those who want to initiate Torah study groups. 
 
Take the opportunity to study Torah starting with the highly prophetic Book of Genesis. Torah is the key for the end times; everything has been written in it. We just need to dive into it and receive tremendous revelations on Yeshua and His plan for our lives.
 
From the beginning of the messianic calling of the first Patriarch, the Torah teaches us that faith is the key to salvation. Grace also has been present since the beginning.
 
The foundations are laid from the first Book of the Bible, to help us understand the perfect plan of salvation that G-d has for mankind. If one doesn't study the foundations of this plan a great part of the Revelation is lost, notably, the Revelation of Messiah Yeshua.
 
Receiving Him in our heart as Savior and Master is one thing, one first necessary step for our salvation, but our path doesn't stop there. After Pesach (salvation by grace), we must head to the Festival celebrated in honor of HaShem, "three days walk" after the reception of the Torah: Shavuot. Avraham saw the L-rd, and the story of his life and of his descendents reveals His Presence, even from the beginning.
 
The same way we have received the Savior in our hearts,  it is now about receiving His Torah engraved in our hearts, even as proclaimed by the prophets in Jeremiah 31:31.  True new birth takes place by the action of the Ruach HaKodesh, who circumcises our hearts to be able to walk according to the criteria of holiness of Elohim.

But in order to be able to walk in these commandements, under Yeshua's yoke, we need to know the Word. When did G-d speak, before the eyes and to the ears of all, with the sound of thunder, setting ablaze an entire mountain? The answer is obvious: the Creator of the universe came to reveal His heart at Mount Sinai, a place that didn't belong to anyone,  and that was open freely to all those who wanted to drink the waters of life.
 
Yeshua manifested Himself on that day at Mount Sinai, but only Moshe could see Him. Moshe's skin shone so intensely that he covered it with a veil. He shone from the initial Light of Creation: the Light of Messiah. He is the PURPOSE of the Torah; He fills us with His love and calls us to follow Him, to prepare a heavenly Bride.

He left us these words: John 5:45-47 But don't think that it is I who will be your accuser before the Father. Do you know who will accuse you? Moshe, the very one you have counted on! For if you really believed Moshe, you would believe me; because it was about me that he wrote. But if you don't believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?


Indeed, if we don't believe the Torah of Moshe, how will we believe the words of Yeshua? They are the same, only revealed to our  understanding, because the veil was lifted.

 
By studying the Torah, our intimate knowledge and revelation of Yeshua grows.
 
Don't stay at the stage of Pesach and salvation by grace; move on to the stage of priesthood! He is preparing the Kingdom of priests for the Glory of G-d the Father!

"If you hold back your foot on Shabbat from pursuing your own interests on my holy day; if you call Shabbat a delight, ADONAI' s holy day, worth honoring; then honor it by not doing your usual things or pursuing your interests or speaking about them. Isaiah 58:14 If you do, you will find delight in ADONAI-- I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Yaakov, for the mouth of ADONAI has spoken." Isaiah 58:13-14

Riiiight……like the rebels/terrorists never rape anyone. As you watch this mostly censored video from CNN, keep in mind that women are being raped in Libya by both sides, using war as an excuse. I wonder if the families kill these women who have been raped for dishonoring the family?

Dear,

 
Greetings my brethren! There are several awesome YouTube treats I wanted to share with you this week. The "One State Solution" is sure to bring you a smile! 

The very anointed worship song "All of Israel is Crying" is a visual, "prophetic prayer song" that was birthed from the depths of the hearts of intercessors who have been praying over the nation of Israel.

I also wanted to point out to you to the online Conference sessions from the recent Epicenter Conference hosted by Joel Rosenberg (May 15-16, 2011, Jerusalem). These can be viewed free online.

Although there is "dichotomy" in thinking with a references to "the Church" and "Israel"
as two separate entities, there is still some very good information shared. In particular, Joel explores the topic, "Assessing the Threat of Radical Islam" and interviews two important guests on this topic. Be sure to check it out!

Please feel free to pass this on and share these "YouTube gems" with your friends!


Blessings and shalom,

Laura Densmore
