Such a wrestlers night. The voices outside and foot steps from the streets sounded like thunder and heavy rain. It was evident they are looking for us. The occasional sound of chainmail, and armed soldiers, with an extra patrol, is most certainly intended for me and my friends. It seems as if time itself is weeping and has stopped!? Even the plant life, and animals are with a sober alert, that something happened. I have been trying to calm everyone, yet find in my own self the battle of two great powers. The power of this overwhelming fear, and wonder of the unknown, yet the power of my Teacher's words....wait....no...he was not a mere teacher, we all know he was different. We all witnessed such great miracles! We all witnessed such awesome power! It was as if the one who walked with Adam, and visited Abraham, was with us. It was as if the cloud by day, and the fire by night, and the funneling fire atop Sinai, and the Tabernacle, was with us in walking flesh. I remember going into the Temple, and many would look in awe. Though they would not admit it, the priest's countenance would speak far more volume than any word could. The Temple, has been absent the presence of Yehovah, for years, yet when Messiah, walked in; it was as the days of old. A presence would fill the house of prayer. A powerful Kodesh would be felt throughout the Temple, so that it was a witness that this is in fact Yehovah, with us! Why then do I have this sinking feeling in my gut??? Why! I am angry that I am even thinking we have lost him, for good...this...this is fear, and if I am honest despite all the miracles, signs, and wonders I have seen. It's doubt... Forgive me! Forgive my unbelief! I am however in such anticipation thus why I am here! It's why I am waiting. It's why I know you will come back to us... Then there is the other power. The power of the Mater's words. He would speak to the lifeless and they would breath again! He would speak to the deaf, and they would hear, and listen! He would speak to the blind, and they would see! He would speak to the demon possessed and the demons would plead to not be destroyed by the power of His word! He would speak to all manner of disease and sickness, and there would be instant healing! He would speak to creation, and creation would obey without pause. He approached me. He asked me the most important question I have ever been asked in my life. "Will you follow me?" Then as if He was scanning my soul and searching my thoughts He no longer asked.... He instructed me: "Pickup your cross, and follow me!" I am just a poor man. Not worth anything in this old City. I should have been on that cross! The power of his words...those other words he spoke at our last Sabbath, together. Those powerful words he spoke about how he would raise himself from the grave!? I only need to wait just a few more hours! I can't sleep anyways, I should go speak with the others, and remind them of the promise of His soon resurrection, and build strength in what is written in the Torah, and the one I know is the Torah, manifest. The anticipation, the unknown vs the known, yet what I do know; Jesus Yahshua Ha'Meshiac, said He would come back to us. He will be come back! To be continued..... Blessings and Shalom HcH Your servant in Yehovah
