Tsiyon Dawn
Part 5 of 5
For now, we must endure hard times. Yet, there is a soon coming day when those that afflicted our souls will reap their due recompense. For them, it will be as David said in Psalms 37: 10. “For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more; indeed, you will look carefully for his place, but it shall be no more.”
In harmony with David, the author of Hebrews writes in 10: 37, “For yet a little while, and HE that shall come will come, and will not tarry”—rendering judgment. Yet, for the diligently faithful, it will be as David wrote in Psalms 30: 5. “For, His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
For HIS true believers, it will be the dawn of a new day and new life—a Tsiyon dawn of eternity. What a grand day that will be! ALL the enemies of Messiah Yeshua and HIS chosen people will be dispatched into eternal oblivion, while we are left to experience the beauty and majesty of Adonai, without obstruction.
It will be a day as described by Moses in Deuteronomy 15: 6. "For Adonai your Elohim will bless you just as HE promised you; you shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; you shall reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over you.”
Father says through Micah in 4: 6-7, "'In that day,' says the LORD, 'I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast and those whom I have afflicted; I will make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation; so Adonai will reign over them in Mount Tsiyon from now on, even forever.'”
We will reign with HIM in Jerusalem for a thousand years as prophesied in Revelation 20; 6. “Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of YHVH and of Messiah Yeshua, and shall reign with HIM a thousand years.”
From there, we will reign with HIM on into eternity in the new Jerusalem as spoken of in Revelation 22: 5. “There shall be no night there: they need no lamp nor light of the sun, for Adonai Elohim gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.”
As I have heard it said, “the ball is now in our court”. Who will reign in our hearts? Will it be YHVH and an implicit following of HIS ways? Or, will we choose a mixture of HIS ways with our own, or even outright reject HIM? Paul conveys this truth in 2 Timothy 2: 12. “If we endure (hold to Father and HIS ways), We shall also reign with HIM. If we deny HIM (discard HIS Torah), HE also will deny us.”
Yes, our “Tsiyon dawn” is drawing nearer by the day. When that day arrives, I pray HE finds us doing “the will of YHVH” as Hebrews 10: 36 says. HIS will is summed up in the two greatest commandments—love YHVH and love neighbor. In so keeping, one keeps the heart of the Torah and obeys the teaching of Yeshua, the Seed of the “promise of Abraham”, and central focus of Torah as spoken through Moses.
