2. Luke 22:25-26 ~ And there shall be signs in the
sun, and in the moon and in the stars; and upon
the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the
sea and the waves roaring; Men’s hearts failing
them for fear, and for looking after those things
which are coming on the earth: for the powers of
heaven shall be shaken.
3. 1 John 4:16-20 ~ And we have known and
believed the love that God hast towards us. God is
love; and He that dwells in love dwells in God and
God in Him. Herein is our love made perfect, that
we may have boldness in the day of judgment:
because as He is so are we in this world. There is
no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear:
because fear has torment. He that fears is not
made perfect in love. We love Him, because He
first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hates
his brother, he is a liar. ~
5. Every seven (7) years there is to be a sabbath
year (shmita Hebrew: שמיטה ,literally "release")
also called the sabbatical
year orsheviit (Hebrew: שביעית ,literally
"seventh") is the seventh year of the seven-year
agricultural cycle mandated by the Torah for
the Land of Israel
6. Duringshmita , the land is left to lie fallow and all
agricultural activity, including plowing, planting,
pruning and harvesting, is forbidden
by halakha (walking out God’s teachings and
instructions). All debts, except those of foreigners,
were to be remitted.
7. Leviticus 25:1-7
Chapter 25 of the Book of Leviticus promises
bountiful harvests to those who observe
the shmita , and describes its observance as a
Statute and judgment (deliverer/deliverance) of
YHWH. There is little notice of the observance of
this year in Biblical history and it was much
neglected.
All debts are to be cancelled ~ all books cleared ~
in essence all financial aspects of one’s debts were
reset.
8. Jeremiah 34:13-14~
Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: I made a
covenant with your fathers in the day that I
brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, out
of the house of bondage, saying: "At the end of
seven years ye shall let go every man his brother
that is a Hebrew, that hath been sold unto thee,
and hath served thee six years, thou shalt let him
go free from thee"; but your fathers hearkened
not unto Me, neither inclined their ear."
9. 2 Chronicles 36:20-21 ~
"...And them that had escaped from the sword
carried he away to Babylon; and they were
servants to him and his sons until the reign of the
kingdom of Persia; to fulfill the word of the Lord
by the mouth of Jeremiah, until the land had been
paid her Sabbaths; for as long as she lay desolate
she kept Sabbath, to fulfill threescore and ten
years.
10. Leviticus 26 ~
But if you will not hearken unto me, and will not
do all these mitzvot (commandments); And if you
shall despise my statutes or if your soul abhor my
mishpatim (judgments), so that you will not do all
my mitzvot, but that you break My covenant: I
will appoint over you terror…and set my face
against you…and I will break the pride of your
power and I will make your heaven as iron and
your earth as brass…
11. Leviticus 26 ~
But if you will not hearken unto me, and will not
do all these mitzvot (commandments); And if you
shall despise my statutes or if your soul abhor my
mishpatim (judgments), so that you will not do all
my mitzvot, but that you break My covenant: I
will appoint over you terror…and set my face
against you…and I will break the pride of yoru
power and I will make your heaven as iron and
your earth as brass…
12. 2 Chronicles 36:14-16~
Moreover all the chief of the priests and the
people transgressed very much after all the
abominations of the heathen…And the Lord God
of their fathers (Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob) sent
to them by his messengers, rising up continually,
and sending because He had compassion on His
people, and on His dwelling place. Buth they
mocked the messengers of God and despised His
words and misused His prophets, until the wrath
of the LORD YHWH arose against His people, till
there was no remedy.
13. While the ordinance of the Shemita was only
given to Yisra’el, any nation, that once knew God,
but turned away from Him, driving Him out of
their land and life, will see the sign of the
Shemita—that is the judgment.
When you see the sign of the Shemita, it is the
sign that the Nation is under judgment.

Congress attempted to stop the collapse, the bill
was rejected, the opening bell refused to ring at
the stock market--$700B bailout
777pt crash
On the day before the 7th month of T’ishrei on
the Hebrew calendar, at the 7th hour of trading
the market had been wiped clean to a whopping

2001, September 17-Stocks crashed as a result
of 9/11—Elul 29
2008, September 29—Elul 29

wiped out, markets fell both times to 7% of their
total value at the 7th hour.

28. The responsibility for the fate of a nation rests
on the people of God.
1 Peter 2:9
The sign of the Shemita comes as the result of a
nation that once know God and have driven Him
out.
The sign of the Shemita is the sign that a nation
is under judgment.
29. Don’t allow yourself to get caught up on the
media or in the spirit of rebellion
Begin to rule God in from the areas where
America has driven Him out.
30. Acts 16:25-64 About midnight Paul and Silas were
praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners
were listening to them, and suddenly there was a great
earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were
shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened,
and everyone’s bonds were unfastened. When the jailer
woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he
drew his sword and was about to kill himself,
supposing that the prisoners had escaped. But Paul
cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we
are all here.” And the jailer called for lights and rushed
in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul
and Silas. Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs,
what must I do to be saved?”
31. And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you
will be saved, you and your household.”
32. 2 Chronicles 7:14 ~
If my people who are called by my name humble
themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn
from their wicked ways, then I will hear from
heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their
land.
33. Turn from your wicked ways:
Repent, Teshuva—more accurately, Turning
Back-a 180 degree turn.
Psalm 51:1
Be gracious to me O God, according to Thy
mercy, according to the multitude of Thy
compassion, blot out my transgressions.
34. What are we to turn to if our ways are wicked?
Psalm 103: 7 ~ He made known his ways unto
Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
So what are His ways?
God gave His teaching and instruction—His
Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai on the day that
foreshadowed Pentecost—
35. Haggai 2:6-9 ~
My Spirit remains in your midst. Fear not. For
thus says the LORD of hosts: Yet once more, in a
little while, I will shake the heavens and the earth
and the sea and the dry land. And I will shake all
nations, so that the treasures of all nations shall
come in, and I will fill this house with glory, says
the LORD of hosts. The silver is mine, and the
gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts. The
latter glory of this house shall be greater than the
former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I
will give peace, declares the LORD of hosts.’”
36. Matthew 5:17 ~ “Don’t think that I have come to
abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come
not to abolish but to fulfill (to bring to a greater
understanding, to cause to stand up, to show how
to carry out the Torah, He defined our Halacha)
WWJD?
37. Kingdom Lifestyle
Matthew 6:10 ~ Thy will be done on earth as it is

39. Why do you get upset when the Ten
Commandments are removed from Schools and
Court Houses?
Is it because you follow them, guard them, teach
them and keep them? Or is it because you hold it
up as an idol?
Proverbs 7:2 ~ Keep my commandments and live;
keep my teaching as the apple of your eye;
40. What are the Ten Commandments?
Where are they found in the Word of God?
Where is your New Covenant defined?
Did Jesus really give you a new commandment?
What is the Law of Sin and Death and what is the
Torah?
41. What are we to turn to if our ways are wicked?
Psalm 103: 7 ~ He made known his ways unto
Moses, his acts unto the children of Israel.
So what are His ways?
God gave His teaching and instruction—His
Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai on the day that
foreshadowed Pentecost—
42. John 13:34 ~ A new commandment I give you,
that you Love one another, as I have loved you,
that you also love one another…
Leviticus 19:18~ Thou shalt not avenge, nor bear
any grudge against the children of thy people, but
thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself: I am
the LORD.
43. Mark 12:28-31 ~
And one of the scribes came up and heard them
disputing with one another, and seeing that he
answered them well, asked him, “Which
commandment is the most important of all?” Jesus
answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel:
The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall
love the Lord your God with all your heart and
with all your soul and with all your mind and
with all your resources’ The second is this: ‘You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no
other commandment greater than these.”
44. Has it ever dawned on you that you are
responsible spiritually to God for other people?
For instance, if I allow any turning away from
God in my private life, everyone around me
suffers. We “sit together in the heavenly places . .
.” (Ephesians 2:6). “If one member suffers, all the
members suffer with it . . .” (1 Corinthians 12:26).
If you allow physical selfishness, mental
carelessness, moral insensitivity, or spiritual
weakness, everyone in contact with you will
suffer. But you ask, “Who is sufficient to be able to
live up to such a lofty standard?” “Our sufficiency
is from God . . .” and God alone (2 Corinthians
3:5).
45. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of
many shall wax cold.
And because lawlessness will be increased, the
love of many will grow cold.
Lawlessness= Torah”less”
46. Did Yeshua live by the Torah?
Did Yeshua Tithe?
Mal 3:8-9
Matt 22:21
Luke 11:42
47. Jesus commended others who practiced giving
tithes regularly in the Temple.
In Luke 4:16 we read that Jesus made a CUSTOM
(habitual practice) out of going to the synagogue
on the Sabbath. From Mark 12:41-42 we can see
that the custom of giving into the Treasury was a
public display of giving. If Jesus condoned others
tithing wouldn't it make sense that He practiced
what He taught that others should do?
48. And if Jesus was a habitual attendee of the
Synagogue, wouldn't it be likely that He practiced
the customs of the Temple and Synagogues He
attended, which would include the practice of
Tithing?
Since giving was done publicly, all the Jews knew
that Jesus kept the Laws without flaw, therefore
could not accuse Him of robbing God by not
paying tithes.
49. WWJD?
1. Love the Lord thy God…
2. No Idols
3. Don’t make the Name of God a common thing
4. Keep the Sabbath
5. Honor mother and father
6. Do not murder
7. Do not commit adultery
8. Do not steal
9. Do not bear false witness
10.Do not covet anything of your neighbor
50. WWJD?
Acts 15:29
1. Abstain from meats offered to idols
2. Do not eat meats strangled
3. Do not drink the blood
4. Do not practice sexual immorality
51. Stewards of Glory
When you keep the tithe, God promises not only
to open the heavens, but to bless you in all areas,
keeping you in health…blessing the work of your
hands, your family, your coming and going….
Was Jesus Poor? No. When the bible says He
became poor, it is saying He gave up the Glory of
Heaven so that you might receive it….on earth,
He had a treasurer…who betrayed Him.
53. Matthew 6:33 Seek first the Kingdom of God.
The wisdom of God is contained in His Word.
Your Blessings comes by obedience…
Faith is an action…Emunah
The bible was written in Hebrew which is a
language of ACTION
54. Repent, Begin to Tithe, obeying the Word of God
diligently…where do you tithe? Tithe to the
house that spiritually feeds you…if a home
group, put your tithe there. Just begin to be
obedient and watch the Faithfulness of God begin
to manifest in your life
Study His Torah—If you think the Torah has been
done away with, you are following a different
God.
Yeshua lived, talked and walked the Torah, in
order to show you how to live it out.
55. If you are willing AND obedient you will eat the
good of the land…
Get Your Life aligned…
Get Your Faith aligned…
Get Your Future aligned…
Understand (if you are born from above [born
again]) you have been grafted in…
56. 2 Peter 1:4
Through these you have been given exceeding
great and precious promises: that by these ye
might be partakers of the divine nature, having
escaped the corruption that is in the world
through lust.
57. Rise above all chaos and turmoil, and enter into
peace. Even when your circumstances place many
demands on your time and energy, you can do all that
is necessary and still maintain tranquility. However,
you will have to be focused and stay calm to receive
the wisdom you need to get through the changes that
this season brings, says the Lord. Philippians 4:7 and
the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ
Jesus.
Editor's Notes
In order to receive the fullness of the Blessings of Abraham, you must obey
the fullest of the works of Abraham. Most Christians do not understand the
Blessings of Abraham and how Salvation through Jesus Christ was ultimately a
fulfillment of the Promise God gave to him. The roots of Salvation stem from
the Blessings of Abraham. If any Christian properly understood the
Scriptural significance of the Blessings of Abraham, paying tithes would be
an opportunity to rejoice and not a reason for question. In Genesis 14:20
the Scripture clearly states that the Tithe was given as an act of worship
for the Victory that God had given Abraham over his enemies, which is a
picture of the victory we now have over the enemy in Christ. Tithing was
first instituted as an ACT OF WORSHIP and incorporated or continued to be
observed in the Law of Moses (reemphasized), but had Israel truly understood
the significance of what they were doing in observing the Law, they would
have welcomed Jesus with open arms. They turned the rejoicing acts of God
into the ordinances of men, and as with anything that loses its meaning, it
becomes a burden and a task rather than an act of spiritual worship.
