Healing the Wounds of Post Slavery PTSD Part 6 The Secrets of EXODUS

 

Ever driven down a long highway and wondered whether or not you missed the turn or exit? Well, in this case you haven’t. Here’s the turn in the road. Be sure you get it.


Are you paying attention? Good. This is literally going to change the game for you and your descendants f-o-r-e-v-e-r!

There are some roads on this particular journey that just open up easily at specific times of the year. This is one of them.


It happens during the week of Pesach (Passover).  Let me explain.

In the month of Nisan in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was brought for him, I took the wine and gave it to the king. I had not been sad in his presence before, so the king asked me, “Why does your face look so sad when you are not ill? This can be nothing but sadness of heart.” Nehemiah 2:1-2

You’ve fasted from chametz. You are more open to hearing the truth with the necessary humility required. It’s nothing personal. It’s just the truth.

You know the saying; the truth shall set you free. Sure, you do! Replace the word TRUTH with EMET and you’ll get it just fine.




If you read the Haggadah (telling of the story) during Passover (hopefully without re-enacting events), you will notice you dip the karpas (herb) into the salty water (tears) two times. In fact, seder is held two
nights in the United States of America. Why?

Because Israel was held captive twice. The first time was in Egypt. The second time was in the Americas (North and South America) for four hundred years!

Ironically, over 80% of the Israelites don’t know who they are! That’s right.

Most of the ten of the twelve tribes of Israel don’t even know who they are. But that’s changing. Like me, many have been individually tapped to answer the call.

I’m not bragging. Sometimes, it’s hard!

We have very little if any support. But Hashem says it’s coming. So I (and others) persist.

Therefore the tribe of  Judah (Jews - Levites) and the tribe of Benjamin have been commissioned for this great awakening. So, what’s the problem? Most of the Jews (Judah) haven’t been awakened themselves. Many who are aware of the commission to educate the world are too prejudice to trust those who say they are the Original Israelites to be who they say they are! (i.e. Ethiopian Jews)

Mind you, we had no problem locating the ten “lost” tribes. However, when they’ve been discovered the tribe of Judah tried to “convert” those ancient Hebrews practicing original Israeli traditions into Judaism (watered down and often "reformed" versions). That’s chutzpah!

It’s so tragic. But that’s about to change too.

Just as Hashem tried to speak to the Hebrews directly at Mount Sinai thousands of years ago, YHVH still speaks today. 

It's just that many of us attend “Private Classes” hear directly. Many of you will too.

The king said to me, “What is it you want?” 

Then I prayed to the God of heaven, and I answered the king, “If it pleases the king and if your servant has found favor in his sight, let him send me to the city in Judah where my ancestors are buried so that I can rebuild it.” Nehemiah 2:4-5

If you have been following this Healing Ancestral PTSD blog series, you’re in luck. You’ve laid the foundation with your children using the 23rd Psalm. If you haven’t, please do so now. Because the turn takes place in the valley.

Call it the Valley of Decision. Call it the Valley of Dry Bones. Call it the Valley of the shadow of Death. Whatever. But that’s where most people are.

 Hold on. Go through “through the Valley.” Don't stay there. Thus far, most have.


Secondly, we shared some major cliff notes during Purim. You will need that too. If you haven’t read the Purim post in this series, please do so now.

Once you’ve done that, you will see that God commissions the Hebrews to start building in the month of Nissan. How? 

Read the Book of Nehemiah aloud. That’s right. Instead of re-enacting the 10 plagues, read one to two chapters from the Book of Nehemiah aloud each night during Pesach/Passover. You can do this people. It's only thirteen chapters.

As you read the Book of Nehemiah (slowly) as if you are telling a great story, you will be calling the twelve tribes from the four corners of the earth. What? Yes! Really. When you call their ancestors, you call the twelve tribes from the four corners of the earth.

The building takes place in the spirit. The walls and this “mountain” are built above the previous incomplete one Moses started nearly four thousand years ago.

 “Then the king (Artaxerxes), with the queen (Esther) sitting beside him, asked me, “How long will your journey take, and when will you get back?” It pleased the king to send me; so I set a time.” Nehemiah 2:6



You have seven months to circulate this message around the world. I'm not making this up. It's not a chain letter. It's just an opening. The Torah says the twelve tribes shall be gathered in the seventh month. It's in the Book of Nehemiah. In truth, God will do it in whatever time is best.

Celebrate Rosh Hashannah and Yom Kippur with greater understanding.

Read the Laws of Moses aloud in the months of Nissan and Elul (often). Sure. You’ll need it.


How many times will we have to do this? I guess it depends on how well you (we) listen and implement. 

Then I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said, Let us rise up and build. So they strengthened their hands for this good work. Nehemiah 2:18 

Moses went up the mountain twice. Ok, it's eight times officially. Even that means something altogether different than most people think. But it doesn’t say he went up the same mountain. In fact, there are times when it's called Mount Horeb. 

The first group did not merit entering the Promised Land. They had to return their jewels and clothing.

It is a spiritual clothing/covering. It surrounds the body at a higher frequency. It’s above evil, doubt and even death. It’s what Adam and Eve wore before the fall.

The Hebrews that came out of Egypt had to pay for their gross disrespect (of Moses, Aaron and Miriam), whining, complaining, and desire to “return to Egypt” stating at least the slave masters provided for them there. Really? God granted their desire.

Aaron, Miriam, and Moses departed to the land of their forefathers. Joshua divided the Hebrews into 12 tribes; gave them territory and they prospered exceedingly.

They prospered so much they forgot God. They worshipped other gods (became Christians, Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindi etc, lusted after money (stopped tithing) etc.)

God took vengeance on their idols. The Hebrews fell back into captivity and/or poverty in various parts of the world but mostly in the Americas (Blacks, Indigenous peoples, Latinos). They were the mighty men of renown.

 
 

Lord, the God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant of love with those who love him and keep his commandments, let your ear be attentive and your eyes open to hear the prayer your servant is praying before you day and night for your servants, the people of Israel. I confess the sins we Israelites, including myself and my father’s family, have committed against you. We have acted very wickedly toward you. We have not obeyed the commands, decrees and laws you gave your servant Moses. Nehemiah 1:5-7

 Then I said to them, “You see the trouble we are in: Jerusalem lies in ruins, and its gates have been burned with fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem, and we will no longer be in disgrace.” 18 I also told them about the gracious hand of my God on me and what the king had said to me.๐Ÿ™Œ

They replied, “Let us start rebuilding.” So they began this good work. Nehemiah 2:17-18 

Shalom, Mazel & Bracha,๐Ÿ’•

btw here's a little something for  those still celebrating Easter. Nope. Look it up. Not only is Easter based on a pagan holiday, the Passover lamb (and matzah) was Abel who was pierced multiple times by his brother Caine. He was the first man murdered. The voice of his blood called up to God's door. Oops there it is. I was there too. ๐Ÿ™„

Shema, Yisrael! Adonai Eluheinu. Adonai echad!

Hear, O' Israel. The LORD our God is One.

Highly Suggested Reading for further Edification: Psalm 23; The Book of Nehemiah The Ten essential Laws provided through Moses.

“They are your servants and your people, whom you redeemed by your great strength and your mighty hand. 11 Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of this your servant and to the prayer of your servants who delight in revering your name. Give your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.” ๐Ÿ™Nehemiah 1:10
