6 Seek YAHWEH while He may be found; call on Him while He is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the man of vanity his thoughts, and let him
return to YAHWEH, and He will have mercy on him; and to our Elohim, for He will
abundantly pardon. 8 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says YAHWEH. 9 For as the heavens are high from the earth, so My ways are high from your
ways, and My thoughts from your thoughts. 10 For as the rain and the snow comes down from the heavens and do not return
there, except it waters the earth and make it bring forth and bud, and give seed
to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall My Word be, which goes out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me
void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in what
I sent it to do! 12 For you shall go out with joy and be led out with peace. The mountains and
the hills shall break out into song before you, and all the trees of the field
shall clap the hand. (Ps 98:8-9) 13 Instead of the thorn bush, the fir tree shall come up; instead of the brier,
the myrtle shall come up; and it shall be for a name to YAHWEH, for an
everlasting sign that shall not be cut off8. (Is 32:13, Is 35:1-2) *~Isaiah Chapter 56 ~*
1 So says YAHWEH: Keep justice and do righteousness, for my Y’shua* is coming
soon, and My righteousness will be revealed. 2 Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it;
keeping the Sabbath, from defiling it; and keeping his hand from doing every
evil. 3 And do not let the son of the foreigner speak, he who joins himself to YAHWEH,
saying, surely, YAHWEH separates me from His people; and do not let the eunuch
say, Behold, I am a dried tree. 4 For so says YAHWEH to the eunuchs who keep (Aleph/Tav) My Sabbaths and choose
things I am pleased with, and take hold of My covenant: 5 I, even I will give to them in My house and in My walls a hand and a name
better than sons and than daughters; I will give them an everlasting name which
shall not be cut off. 6 And the sons of the foreigner, who join themselves to YAHWEH to serve Him, and
to love the name of YAHWEH, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from defiling
the Sabbath, and takes hold of My covenant: 7 even them I will bring to My holy mount and make them joyful in My house of
prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My
altar, for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the peoples, 8 states Adonai YAHWEH, who gathers the outcasts of Israel; I will yet gather
others beside him to his gathered ones.
Matthew 21:9-17
9 And the crowd, the ones going before and the ones following, were crying out,
saying, Hosanna to the Son of David! "Blessed is He coming in the name of
YAHWEH!" Hosanna in the highest! (Psa. 118:26) 10 And as He entered into Jerusalem, all the city was shaken, saying, Who is
this? 11 And the crowds said, This is Yahshua, the Prophet, the One from
Nazareth of Galilee. 12 And Yahshua entered into the sanctuary of YAHWEH and threw out all those
selling and buying in the sanctuary. And He overthrew the tables of the money
changers and the seats of those selling the doves. 13 And He said to them, It has been written, "My house shall be called a house
of prayer, but you have made it a cave of bandits." (Isa. 56:7; Jer 7:11) 14 And blind and lame ones came to Him in the sanctuary, and He healed them. 15 But the chief priests and the scribes, seeing the wonders which He did, and
the children crying out in the sanctuary, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of
David, they were incensed. 16 And they said to Him, Do you hear what these say? And Yahshua said to them,
Yes. Did you never read, "Out of the mouth of children and infants You have
fashioned praise?" (Psa. 8:2) 17 And leaving them, He went out of the city to Bethany, and lodged there.
