What Will Happen When Messiah Returns: Avar or Pesach?

  Or Perhaps Both... Hello Dear Readers and Friends! If you regularly seek with me, you have been walking along on my recent journey through the book of Revelation.  You may be glad to know that I have completed Revelation and have now started back over "in the beginning."  Today's thoughts actually hit me between the eyes from this week's Torah Portion (Bo) in the book of Exodus.   In my most recent blogs, we have looked at Yeshua's return through different points of view.  I shared from scripture that Yeshua will return as a " thief in the night " to those who are unprepared. But, He will return as the long-awaited bridegroom to those who are actively watching and waiting.   Same Return Same Yeshua Different Outcomes Different Outcomes?  What do you mean?

Greetings Friends and Readers! I have been reading in Genesis 38 and making what I call "notices."  If you are following the Torah cycle, you may be interested in connecting some dots with me.  Now...it's possible that I'm reaching and stretching.  Feel free to disagree with the placement of my dots, but either way we will be seeking the scriptures together, and that is always fruitful.  Come Seek With Me! Here are the scriptures I will reference: Genesis 38 Ephesians 1 Matthew 1 Matthew 13 John 14 In Genesis 38, we see that Tamar had a problem.  She had been left a widow in her father's house and denied her rightful inheritance.   Judah had not given her his son , as was his responsibility.  If we look at this next part with "Western" eyes, we miss out.  In the Western mindset, Tamar is a "woman of ill repute."  But let us put on our Ancient Eastern mindset glasses.  Without a husband and/or son, in the Ancient Eastern economy...
