This teaching I shared on LinkedIn Newsletter, nevia-dvorah.com and here. I felt this is so important, that I have to share it as much as I can.

"As you know, I usually send out a newsletter every other week. However, so much has happened recently that I knew I had to share this teaching in quick succession.
Where do I even begin?"
There are ways which seem right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Mishle 16:25
25 There is a derech that seems yashar (right) to an ish, but its acharit (future, final end) is the drakhei mavet.
"May I share a brief testimony? First and foremost, it was G-d who opened my eyes, guiding me on a journey to discover my Jewish heritage. The evidence unfolded gradually. Although my soul yearns to return to Israel, HE has made it clear that the time is not yet right. So, I remain under HIS care and protection, living in dependence and obedience to HIM. This call for reliance isn't limited to making Aliyah; HE asks for my trust in all aspects of life!"
1 Chronicles 21 Divrey Hayamim Alef 21
21 And Satan stood up against Yisroel, and provoked Dovid to number Yisroel. 2 And Dovid said to Yoav and to the sarei HaAm, Go, number Yisroel from Beer Sheva even to Dan; and bring the mispar (number) of them to me, that I may know it.
3 But Yoav answered, Hashem make His people a hundred times so many more as they be, but, adoni HaMelech, are not they all the avadim of adoni? Why then doth adoni require this thing? Why will he be a cause of ashmah to Yisroel? 4 Nevertheless the davar HaMelech prevailed against Yoav. Therefore, Yoav departed, and went throughout kol Yisroel, and came to Yerushalayim.
5 And Yoav gave up the sum of the number of HaAm unto Dovid. And kol Yisroel were 1,100,000 ish that drew cherev; and Yehudah was 470,000 ish that drew cherev. 6 But Levi and Binyamin counted he not among them, for the davar HaMelech was abominable to Yoav.
7 And HaElohim was displeased with this thing; therefore He struck Yisroel. 8 And Dovid said unto HaElohim, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing, but now, take away the avon of Thy eved, for I have done very foolishly.
The record in Chronicles places this right after a great victory over the Philistines, so the sin was probably related to a problem with pride and self-reliance.
"As I mentioned, He asks for our independence in all things! However, I found myself quite busy growing my online presence. As you can see from the picture of my previous LinkedIn account, it became increasingly important in my thoughts. Eventually, I realized, that He made it clear, the whole account had to go!"
Previous LinkedIn Account Some Years Ago.
"I thought this chapter was behind me, but I couldn't have been more wrong. Recently, I spent some time on Facebook and was confronted with META. Everything was meticulously structured and monitored, with every step I took being scrutinized. This morning on Instagram, I realized that everything, absolutely everything, revolves around generating income."
A prophecy that I shared was placed before me, and I was actually called to do something with it, so that income could be generated.
Monetization, the process of converting something into money.
CAN YOU IMAGINE THIS?
Word that I receive from G-d, or taken directly from the Torah, with which I am going to earn some nice money...
Whether it is about counting the people, which Dovid did, or, what we are doing now in this time, converting everything, putting everything aside, doing everything possible, to earn more money, to gain more power, more prestige! It is a thorn in G-d's side!
TESHUVA TIME FOR REPENTANCE, NOT ONLY ON A CERTAIN DAY, OR A CERTAIN TIME, IF YOU RECOGNIZE WHAT I HAVE TO SHARE HERE, YOU CAN MAKE TESHUVA.
My definition of TESHUVA is:
TURNING MY BACK TO THE WORLD AND WITH MY FACE AND MY ENTIRE BEING, TURNING TOWARDS G-D!
My account on FB is scheduled for deletion. I am waiting for the LORD, what to do with Instagram.
He gave me two websites and LinkedIn again, and the only thing HE is asking from me is to walk humbly with HIM. HE longs for a relationship!
" Noach /Noah means initiate. Illumination coming through G-d is never dependent on physical factors, it's only coming by leaning on G-d always."
How easy would it be to make a casting mold, fill it with liquid gold, let it cool and…there you have a Menorah.
"As we read, building a Menorah for G-d was not an easy task; it was hammered. Zahav, or gold, is the best of the Biblical metals, symbolizing holiness and royalty - kings and kingdoms. But above all purity!
This indicates that the gold must be completely unblemished, to reflect the Divine. The lampstand must be of hammered work, or miqshah."
My dear friend Teus Schep* Of blessed memory and I made a series of videos in 2007 about the Menorah and the process for us to become holy!
Gethsemane (which can be found in the Christian Bible) means OLIVE PRESS! There too it is about the harvesting of the oil! The anointing! BE IN HIM and walk in HIS wisdom!
Enlightenment that comes from G-d is never dependent on physical factors, it only comes from always leaning on G-d. But as we can read, building a Menorah for G-d was not an easy thing to do. The Menorah was hammered out of one piece of gold. So we lean on HIM, and HE will make sure that the 'dying to carnal mind' is hammered out ;) That is, through difficult circumstances, but as a result we let HIS light shine and receive HIS fresh oil, HIS anointing!
I will share more about this, in time to come.
For now I will close this teaching with a question to you.
Are you willing to ponder about this study? Prayerfully?
Then HE our G-d will 'enlight' your mind deeper then ever before with HIS light HIS thoughts, HIS voice.
May we all receive HIS blessing, of being in Divine Shalom, no matter what is happening in this world right now.
*Enlight is an old-fashioned word that means the same as enlighten, which means to make someone understand something better or clearer.
