We are beginning life’s most noble quest – a rite of passage which will take us from the world we know to the Creator of the universe. To begin, we will courageously withdraw from the confusing and caustic influence of religion and politics, cultural morés and conspiracies. Liberated, we will travel through dimensions greater than time using words, evidence, and reason…
“He who dwells (yashab) within the shelter (ba sether) of God (’elyown), by the likeness (ba tsel) of the One who is Sufficient (Shaday), will abide through the darkest hours (luwyn). Concerning Yahowah (la YaHoWaH), he says (’amar) ’I trust (machseh ‘any) and depend upon (netsach) my God (‘elohay ‘any), relying on Him (ba huw’ batach).’ Therefore (ky), He will defend you (huw’ natsal ’atah) from the contrived plots, influence, and false narratives (min pach) of those who entice others (yaquwsh), and from the plague of (min deber) malicious threats (hawah). His love and mercy are your (chesed ’al ’atah) shield to keep you cool and collected under fire (tsinah). And His consistent nature (wa ‘emeth huw’) is a valued defense (sochorah). Pause and reflect on this (selah).
You will not be intimidated by (lo’ yare’) terrorism or dread this darkness (min pachad laylah), or the pandemic (qeteb) ravaging (shadad) at midday (tsaharaym), or even the pestilence of sickening words (deber) which travel (halak) among the unenlightened (ba ’opel). A thousand (wa ’eleph) will fall, prostrating themselves, and die (naphal) as foes beside you (min tsad ‘atah), and (wa) many thousands more (‘eleph wa rababah) as a result of (min) your influence (yamyn), but this will not prevail against you (lo’ taqa’).
You will observe (nabat raq) with your eyes (ba ‘ayn), being shown (ra’ah) the consequence (shilumah) of religion (rasha’) as He directs (ky tsawah) His spiritual envoys (mal’ak) to keep watch over you (la shamar) in every way (ba kol derek). I will have them support you (nasa’ ’atah), preventing you from being tripped up (pen nagaph ba) in your stance (regel ’atah) against what has been set in stone (ha ’eben).
To Me (ba ‘any), he is lovingly attached because we enjoy the same things (chashaq). And so, I will keep him safe (wa palet huw’), empowering him to successfully accomplish the mission (sagab huw’) because (ky) he will come to actually know and accurately reveal (yada’) My name (shem). He reads My pronouncements (qara’ ‘any) so I respond to him (wa ‘anah huw’). I am with him (huw’ ‘im ‘any) against the Adversary (ba tsarah), equipping him (chalats huw’) and promoting him (wa kabed huw’), to show the means (wa ra’ah) to salvation (ba yashuw’ah).“ (Mizmowr / Lyrics / Psalm 91:1-16)
