The Tree of Life

Blessed is the man who shall not walk in the counsel of the wrong, And shall not stand in the path of sinners, And shall not sit in the seat of scoffers, But his delight is in the Torah of YHWH, And he meditates in HIS Torah day and night.
For He shall be as a tree planted by the rivers of water, that yields its fruit in its season, And whose leaf does not wither, And whatever he does prospers...

Psalm 1:1-3 the tree of life is the Torah of YHWH
Jeremiah 36:22 the pages of the Torah scroll are the leaves of the tree
Ezek. 47:1-12 the trees on the banks of the river bear fruit, and their leaves heal
Revelation 22:1-2 the leaves of the tree of life are for the healing of the nations
Jeremiah 30 -31 the Lord will restore and heal the nations when they turn back to Torah
Jeremiah 17:7-8 those who trust in YHWH shall be as the tree of life

The Spirit of the Master YHWH is upon Me, because YHWH has annointed ME to bring good news to the meek. He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim release to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound, to proclaim the acceptable year of YHWH, and the day of vengeance of our Elohim, to comfort all who mourn, to appoint unto those who mourn in Tzion: to give them embelishment for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness.
And they shall be called trees of righteousness, a planting of YHWH, to be adorned. And they shall rebuild the old ruins, raise up the former wastes. And they shall restore the ruined cities, the wastes of many generations.
And strangers shall stand and feed on your flocks, and the sons of the foreigner be your ploughmen and your vinedressers. But you shall be called, 'Priests of YHWH', 'Servants of our Elohim' shall be said of you. You shall consume the strength of the gentiles, and boast in their esteem. Instead of your shame and reproach, they rejoice a second time in their portion. Therefore they take possession a second time in their land, everlasting joy is theirs.
"For I YHWH, love right-ruling; I hate robbery for burnt offering. And I shall give their reward in truth, and make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of the peoples. All who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed YHWH has blessed."
I greatly rejoice in YHWH, my being exults in my Elohim. For He has put garments of deliverance on me, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its bud, as the garden causes the seed to shoot up, so the Master YHWH causes righteousness and praise to shoot up before all the nations!

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 61

After Twenty-two Years...


After Twenty-two Years... The Journal is back! Though the venue is different, that is we are on-line, the purpose of Manasseh has not changed. We hope to give you some insight into the life of Israel which will be unique and also galvanizing of your support in the form of "real facts on the ground." We have no interest in endless talk or grand gestures... So greetings and Shabbat Shalom from the Golan Heights of Israel. Check out our postings as we get up to speed!
