The Ruin Of The Nation

DEBARIM - DEUTERONOMY 29:22-29

22 So that the generation to come of your children that shall rise up after you, and the stranger that shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which YAHWEH has laid upon it;
23 And that the whole land thereof is brimstone, and salt, and burning, that it is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows therein, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which YAHWEH overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath:
24 Even all nations shall say, Wherefore has YAHWEH done thus to this land? what means the heat of this great anger?
25 Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of YAHWEH the Sovereign Ruler of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt:
26 For they went and served other gods, and worshipped them, gods whom they knew not, and whom he had not given to them:
27 And the anger of YAHWEH was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:
28 And YAHWEH rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

Secret Things Belong To YAHWEH

29 The secret things belong to YAHWEH our ABBA: but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this torah.

HEBREW LEXICON -- STRONG'S NUMBER 7355

7355 racham {raw-kham'} verb: be compassionate, have compassion

 1) to love, love deeply, have mercy, be compassionate, have tender affection, have compassion
1a) (Qal) to love
1b) (Piel)
1b1) to have compassion, be compassionate
1b1a) of YAHWEH, man
1c) (Pual) to be shown compassion, be compassionate

Strongs: 7355 racham raw-kham' a primitive root; to fondle; by implication, to love, especially to compassionate:--(KJV words used)- have compassion (on, upon), love, (find, have, obtain, shew) mercy(-iful, on, upon), (have) pity, Ruhamah, X surely.

raham (7355), "to have compassion, be merciful, pity." The words from this root are found 125 times in all parts of the TanaK. The root is also found in Assyrian, Ethiopic, and Aramaic.
The verb is translated "love" once: "I will love you, O YAHWEH..." (Ps. 18:1). Raham is also used in YAHWEH's promise to declare HIS name to Moses: "I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the NAME of YAHWEH before you; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy" (Exod. 33:19). So men pray: "Remember, O YAHWEH, your tender mercies and your loving-kindnesses" (Ps. 25:6); and YeshaYah prophesies messianic restoration: " ...With great mercies will I gather you. ... But with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on you, says YAHWEH your Redeemer" (Isa. 54:7-8). This is the heart of yeshua by the suffering Servant-Messiah.

Kidushim Exhorted To Agree

KEPHA -1- PETER 3:8-13

8 ¶ Finally, be you all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be tenderhearted, be courteous:
9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that you are thereunto called, that you should inherit a blessing.
10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:
11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek shalom, and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of YAHWEH are over the righteous, and HIS ears are open to their prayers: but the face of YAHWEH is against them that do evil.
13 And who is he that will harm you, if you be followers of that which is good?

The History Of Yisrael

TEHILLIM - PSALMS 78:29-39

29 So they did eat, and were well filled: for HE gave them their own desire;
30 They were not estranged from their lust. But while their meat was yet in their mouths,
31 The wrath of YAHWEH came upon them, and slew the fattest of them, and smote down the chosen men of Yisrael.
32 For all this they sinned still, and believed not for HIS wondrous works.
33 Therefore their days did HE consume in vanity, and their years in trouble.
34 When HE slew them, then they sought HIM: and they returned and enquired early after YAHWEH.
35 And they remembered that YAHWEH was their Rock, and the high ALMIGHTY their redeemer.
36 Nevertheless they did flatter HIM with their mouth, and they lied to HIM with their tongues.
37 For their heart was not right with HIM, neither were they steadfast in HIS covenant.
38 But HE, being full of compassion, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: yes, many a time turned HE HIS anger away, and did not stir up all HIS wrath.
39 For HE remembered that they were but flesh; a ruach that passes away, and comes not again.

Answers To Objections Against YAHWEH's Sovereign Conduct, In Exercising Mercy And Justice

ROMIYAH - ROMANS 9:14-24

14 ¶ What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with YAHWEH? YAHWEH forbid.
15 For HE saith to Mosheh, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
16 So then it is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of YAHWEH that shews the mercy.
17 For the scripture says to Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised you up, that I might show MY power in you, and that MY NAME might be declared throughout all the earth.
18 Therefore has HE mercy on whom HE will have mercy, and HE hardens whom HE will.
19 You will say then to ME, Why does HE yet find fault? For who has resisted HIS will?
20 Nay but, O man, who are you that reply against YAHWEH? Shall the thing formed say to HIM that formed it, Why have YOU made me thus?
21 Has not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel to honor, and another to dishonor?
22 What if YAHWEH, willing to show HIS wrath, and to make HIS power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
23 And that HE might make known the riches of HIS honor on the vessels of mercy, which HE had afore prepared to honor,
24 Even us, whom HE has called, not of the Yahudim only, but also of the Gentiles?

YAHWEH delights in mercy will have compassion upon Yisrael

MIKAH - MICAH 7:18-20

18 Who is ALMIGHTY like to YOU, that pardons iniquity, and passes by the transgression of the remnant of HIS heritage? HE retains not HIS anger forever, because HE delights in mercy.
19 HE will turn again, HE will have compassion upon us; HE will subdue our iniquities; and YOU will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
20 YOU will perform the truth to Yacob, and the mercy to Abraham, which YOU have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

The Office And Duty Of A High Kohen Abundantly Answered In YAHSHUA

IBRIM - HEBREWS 5:1-10

1 ¶ For every high kohen taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to YAHWEH, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:
2 Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that He Himself also is compassed with infirmity.
3 And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.
4 And no man takes this honor to himself, but he that is called of YAHWEH, as was Aaron.
5 So also ha MessiYah exulted not Himself to be made an high kohen; but HE that said to Him, You are MY Son, today have I begotten You.
6 As HE says also in another place, You are a Kohen forever after the order of Melchizedek.
7 Who in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears to HIM that was able to save Him from death, and was heard in that He feared;
8 Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered;
9 And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal yeshua to all them that obey HIM;
10 ¶ Called of YAHWEH an High Kohen after the order of Melchizedek.

YAHSHUA is Compassionate and Heals Us Lepers

MARKUS - MARK 1:40-45

40 ¶ And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying to Him, If You will, You can make me clean.
41 And YAHSHUA, moved with compassion, put forth His hand, and touched him, and says to him, I will; be you clean.
42 And as soon as he had spoken, immediately the leprosy departed from him, and he was cleansed.
43 And He straitly charged him, and forthwith sent him away;
44 And says to him, See you say nothing to any man: but go your way, show yourself to the kohen, and offer for your cleansing those things which Mosheh commanded, for a testimony to them.
45 But he went out, and began to publish it much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch that YAHSHUA could no more openly enter into the city, but was without in desert places: and they came to Him from every quarter.

YAHWEH's Mercy To Them, And Even To The Nations Around

YERMEYAH - JEREMIAH 12:14-17

14 ¶ Thus says YAHWEH against all MY evil neighbors, that touch the inheritance which I have caused MY people Yisrael to inherit; Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Yahudah from among them.
15 And it shall come to pass, after that I have plucked them out I will return, and have compassion on them, and will bring them again, every man to his heritage, and every man to his land.
16 And it shall come to pass, if they will diligently learn the ways of MY people, to comit by MY NAME, YAHWEH lives; as they taught MY people to swear by Baal; then shall they be built in the midst of MY people.
17 But if they will not obey, I will utterly pluck up and destroy that nation, says YAHWEH.

YAHWEH's Love To The Assembly

YESHAYAH - ISAIAH 49:13-18

13 ¶ Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for YAHWEH has comforted HIS people, and will have mercy upon HIS afflicted.
14 But Zion said, YAHWEH has forsaken me, and my Sovereign YAHWEH has forgotten me.
15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yes, they may forget, yet will I not forget you.
16 Behold, I have graven you upon the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before ME.
17 Your children shall make haste; your destroyers and they that made you waste shall go forth of you.
18 ¶ Lift up your eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to you. As I live, saith YAHWEH, you shall surely clothe you with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on you, as a bride does.

May YAHWEH strengthen you. For YAHWEH has graven you upon the palms of HIS hands.
