Freedom

Celebrate Freedom!

Last night began Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day) as Israelis remember the over 23,000 soldiers who’ve perished in various wars fought throughout the course of Israel’s short history. Even right now, as we write this devotion, again the sirens ring aloud. Everyone in Israel can hear the sirens at this moment and just about all of them will stop what they are doing in remembrance of those who’ve laid their lives down for this country’s freedom.

Do You Have the Sign of Deliverance?

As we discussed last week, the word for “sign” in ancient Hebrew is “oht”. It was used in Genesis to designate God’s covenant sign with Noah, (the rainbow). And we see now the same word again, in Exodus, identified with the deliverance of the Jewish people from the tenth plague, when the angel of death passed through all Egypt to strike the firstborn. Anyone under the “sign” of the blood was spared.

Do You Have True Religion?

We continue looking at the ancient Hebrew alphabet: the modern word for “religion” is the word – “dat” – spelled in Hebrew, “dalet”- “tav”. The ancient Hebrew letter “dalet” pictures a door. And as we have previously shown, the “tav” is a covenant sign which is pictured as a simple cross. So the word “religion” in ancient Hebrew, could also be expressed as “the door of the covenant sign (a cross)”.
