PROTECTED BY
'GAD'
?
Gad
Fellow pilgrims of the faith of the Risen Lord:
don’t let yourselves be deceived !
Is a man protected just because he declares it squarely with fanfare?
NO.
Only when GOD YAHWEH’s recognition and approval is granted, humans, especially leaders, enjoy divine protection. This is such a fundamental spiritual rule, that immediate discernment is possible.
The history of Israel is filled with examples, through which our understanding will be sharpened, so as not to fall prey to some soothsayers. It is a most lamentable fact, that the writings of the Tanach (Old Testament) among the denominations are mostly taken as nice, illustrative Sunday school stories. Seldom a preacher is taught by the Spirit of GOD ALMIGHTY to such an extent, that he can recognize the more or less clear lines leading to the New Covenant life in the Messiah.
It is scholastic pride and a rude, generalized separation between the manuscripts before and those after the Messiah was revealed, which deprives Christianity of a proper discernment of many a spiritual truth. Else, why would Abraham be called the ‘Father of Faith’, if such a partition in our Bibles were permissible?
Every time Israel turned away from YAHWEH, they harvested trouble, warfare, destruction and death. The same is true for our days.
The call back to serious faith and obedience to GOD is the only way to make a people prosper! Let’s become realistic, my brothers and sisters, my friends: we have all reached quite different times: the word ‘god’ is used by many without the necessary reverence and this is why we as true followers should make the difference apparent by pointing to another word sounding similar, but which is void of any spiritual meaning, namely ‘gad’.
Donald Trump likes his own repetitions, when he shouts out toward the end of his inauguration speech: ….’together, we will make America proud, rich, strong and safe again’. Surely, that’s what every nation desires, but do you discern the trap in this acclamation? Shouldn’t here, in the very finale of his speech, at least a reference be found to non materialistic, spiritual quality foundations for the rebuilding process be found? Not a word about indispensable values, concepts, truths and faithfulness! But then: ‘Gad (!) bless you, Gad (!) bless America, thank you’.
Empty babbling! We are reminded of GAD-FLIES gathering on stuff, that stinks!
Are we part of it? Do we invest our energies and time into such hypocrisy?
LET’S NOT!
