   When Miriam and Elisheva met on that wonderful day, with the miracles in their wombs, that was the first and start of the Messianic assembly! How exciting! The Paradigm shift began here with folks from Twigville, such a child-like name, royal heritage hidden at a lowly place! How great is YHVH Whom we serve!
   Both the favoured (because they walk righteously) women recognised the calling upon their lives, bonded even more in their relationship with each other; just as the faithful remnant will bond wherever they meet! Amen!
   HalleuYah! Ester.

   What an amazing time in history. Our Saviour comes to dwell with us…the magnitude of that is beyond my ability to comprehend. The Awesome Love of Yah that he was willing to send Yahshua for us and what an incredible honor and blessing for Miriam. Not sure what your thoughts are on the lost book titled, “The Gospel of the Birth of Miriam,” attributed as a writing of Matthew but it adds for me another dimension to Miriam by looking into the life of her parents, Yoachim and Anna. And like your presentation of the parents of Yohanon, it seems very similar, in that they were unable to have children and very persecuted by others because of that. It seems they were very righteous in that they divided their substance into three parts; one devoted to the temple and the officers of the temple, another they distributed among strangers and the poor and the third they reserved for themselves. It seems that the high priest Isachar did not want to receive Yoachim’s offering, even though it was double, because he felt he was cursed for not having children. Yah answered their prayers and gave them Miriam; they responded to Yah by giving Miriam back to be trained in the temple….and so the story goes. For me it simply confirms scripture that Miriams family was righteous in the site of Yah as was Miriam. I think, like Abraham, Miriam walked righteously and was blessed beyond measure for this. I also stand in awe that Yahweh gave Miriam and Elisheva this responsibility together. I believe Yahweh often sends us what we need in support from others; what a compassionate God we serve.
   Another thought/observation in my life, although I agree with you in that the Poor should rejoice in their ability to trust in Yah alone to meet their needs. I have not seen that to be the case in my life. I was raised very poor and really didn’t see those around me looking to Yahweh, it was actually those who weren’t that steared me on the path to Truth when I was young. Also, the richest person I know, gives away 90% of his money and lives on 10% - mind you that is still a lot of money; but he loves Yah although maybe not enlightened to the Truth; he truly is a servant and has used his wealth that way. I see my life’s walk like Paul, paraphrasing, I know what it is like to have nothing and to have plenty, but it is the condition of the heart that truly matters. For money is the answer to things - just the love of it that is evil. So, I agree with your point that others who have ought to give, I am just not so sure it is easier for the poor to trust and believe, since I believe it is not one’s monetary status but one’s heart. And as you have so elequently demonstrated, Yahshua’s immediate family and extended family were righteous in the site of Yah with a heart for Him and thus, blessed with the joy of the Spirit; one of them literally!
   Shalom,
   Christine

   I agree Ester!, I never really thought about it like that (start of messianic assembly).

   That is wonderful to consider and is a blessed insight!

   Shalom

   Another beautiful picture of the family relationships going on here! Additionally I was impressed by the fact that the Set Apart Spirit spoke to each heart and in Yochanan’s case, was his teacher to prepare him for his job of making the way for Yahshua. Thank you for bringing these details to the forefront once again.

   I have been away from these studies for a while as I have been so interested in the CD’s I have received but I now feel I must return to get your views from the beginning of your teachings. I don’t want to miss a thing!

   Blessings ahd Shalom, Shelia

   “JUMP” for joy in that the Holy Spirit is filling your life with these awesome teachings!Blessed is she, that all generations of the Davidic covenant, are promised through her.Our God reigns, soak up the spirit of life, be filled with the Holy Spirit, the same Holy Spirit of Elizabeth, John, Mary and Zacharias! Our Salvation is Yeshua, repent and recieve the forgiveness of sins, because of the tender mercies of God! The Word is life, kind of hard to find anything better to say than what was written for us, thank you for allowing me to search the scriptures and pursue the truth! May the Lord bless you and keep you, Amen

   This message really awakened my soul to how deep we have assimilated into this earthly world. My husband and I both came from very modest and low income backgrounds and so, we proceeded out of college, something our parents had not been privileged to, and did what the world wanted us to do and not what our hearts wanted. To do it all over I’d be a vet for all the homeless rescue animals and my husband would be a missionary in the field, both of which would yield no income. Now we find ourselves at the end of this age, and many external factors are pushing us out of our comfort zones. It is very clear the 4 horsemen have been released, and many of us have lost a major chunk of our retirements for starters. Decisions must be made, and we are all like the deer standing frozen in the headlights. Our faith and love for our Creator and Savior and Ruach Hakodesh will guide us in our days ahead, but we must cling to Him. He’s calling us to “come out of her, my people.” And now, as it occurs to me how perfect His timing always is, I make this posting on Erev Yom Kippur, our message is to look inward and acknowledge our sins and turn away and repent. I’m the only one who can change me, to bring me closer to Him. We are not of this world, but most of us have gotten chained into the matrix in some form or another, and must of our own will and volition break this bondage. My Tsiyon sisters I’m sure can relate, that childbirth is really NOT fun, but what comes immediately after is one of His many special gifts to us. I personally really want to be a part experiencing that gift and know that it will take a lot of work and a lot of change, but the gift, the reward, and His love through it all will be so incredibly abundant in comparison. Blessings in Messiah, Kim

   05 Yeshua’s Family Album Pg 2

   Shalom! Many Blessings to Tsiyon, Eliyahu and Dawn! This ministry is anointed by the Ruach HaQodesh! Praise to YHWH for being a covenant making and keeping G-D! The one TRUE G-D! Praise to YESHUA for being the ultimate blameless sacrifice, our ransom paid in full.

   I am so thrilled to get some the questions that I had from program 4 answered here in program 5! It is amazing how Biblically dumb I am and I have read the whole book more than a few times in my life! I love how the light bulb cord keeps getting pulled! Yahoo! Woot ! Woot! I love how each time I see/hear the scriptures something new and exciting jumps out at me!

   Thank you for explaining how Elisheva (Elizabeth) is related to Miriam (Mary). The meeting between Elisheva and Miriam was so prophetic! WOW!!! I loved how Elisheva welcomed Miriam!

   I didn’t realize/remember that Zakharya was a priest! Somehow I had missed that part before. {O.o} After the angel Gabriel made Zakharya mute, I wonder if Zakharya gave himself a *face palm* for not believing what the angel had said to him about Elisheva before becoming mute! My heart was touched when Zakharya finally speaks after 9 months of silence as he praises YHWH! It was amazing when Elisheva and Zakharya named Yochanan! What a life Yochanan was born to lead and how he did it in such righteousness!

   I agree with your statements regarding the rich, the poor, and who G-d will be using to do his work in this last generation. They will come from the most unlikely and unconventional backgrounds. I praise YHWH that we always had enough, more than enough most times. I admit at one time I had a shopping problem and HE cured me when we lost our house to foreclosure and lost all our credit. A very humbling experience but we always said that if we lost the house then it would be the will of G-d and will go where he sends us. We have downsized considerably, yet with the rising cost of living we are now living week to week. The fact of the matter is today, my husband and I are happier now than we have been in years as we have a better relationship with YHWH too!

   I am looking forward to meeting more of Yeshua’s family. I am sure there are a few I do not know!

   Still amazed and seeking to learn more.

   Shalom!

   It is saddening in a way that so many will read over these scriptures and will not understand the fulfillment of the prophecies for the House of David and for the House of Ysrael forever. But then, that was prophecied, too. And one day the blindness will be lifted and many more will understand and believe these wonderful truths.

   tecknon Theos! Sons of God. Shalom.
   As many as receive Yeshua Messiah, to them has YHWH given the power to become His sons. To become reborn in this life as those who manifest Yeshua, His brethren, others sons of YHWH.
   He was a man, a simple humble working man. He had really close and loving family. He lived right , He did right , He was without sin. Somehow He managed a lifestyle that allowed Him to fulfill righteousness within His family unit. He had loving support.For how could you not have loved Him, He is the Son of God, and had to have been pretty cool to be around.

    Greetings to all,
    I would call this the real first family. The World would not write the story this way.The Savior would have to be from the best of current status able to be a strong,proud,lad, best family,wealthy,charming, etc. But this is no ordinary story.From the poor he came to seek the lame ,sick,and poor.The very ones the Bad Shepard’s neglected. The joy that this Family shared was the “First Fruits” of Y’shua’s power and ministry.To read of Yochanan leaping in the womb is cool.And to follow the various experiences of this Family tells us a lot that is often overlooked. One that grabbed me is “He has remembered his servant Israel”. for those that still thought Yahweh was done with Israel,in the coming of Y’shua. Ding….Ding….Ding… Another K.O. for the Scripture sorting out misconceptions. In the Christian Churches is sung a song called “Oh! Happy Day!” and I could hear it playing the day Mary sung her song in Luke 1: 46-55.
    Blessings to all
    Fred

    Greetings,
    I am struck by the prophecies given by the Holy Spirit through the two mothers-to-be. I know I’ve read these in the past but He has opened my mind to new things in His word.

    I find it hopeful that God uses the lowly to do His work. That is encouraging for me. It’s clear He can do so much more with a ‘willing heart’ than with a selfish, greedy one.
    I love Yeshua’s words, “What does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul?”
    Praise His Name.

    Shalom!

    Don

    As I continue to listen to these programs, I truly am beginning to understand the how’s and why’s Yahweh has allowed certain events in my life. I have come to understand it is not what you have, but what you do with what you have… Our partriarchs were not poor men. However, the closer you are to living styles that remove you from the temptations that come with the world, the better the opportunities to draw closer to Yahweh.
