The Yoke of Yehoshua's Torah

The Messiah of Israel is himself the commandment to the nations to believe in the God of Israel.

For Israel he is the ear of obedience.

A Torah scroll in the hands of Yehoshua is the promise of justice, to the eyes of the poor.

A Torah scroll in the hands of Yehoshua is the promise to the "bent reed" that, not only will she not be broken, she will be repaired!

A Torah scroll in the hands of Yehoshua is the promise to the poorest spirit that he will be covered by Yehoshua with the Torah scroll as with a prayer shawl.

Yehoshua shall cover them with the Torah scroll and they shall know their sins are forgiven.

They will hear the commandments of the God of Israel in their broken hearts,

and His commandments shall say unto them, "Live! Rise up and walk!"

By the commandment of Israel's God the lame shall be repaired and prepared to serve at the table of His banquet; they shall carry the treasures of the Lord with grace and beauty!

For the homeless from the hedges shall come with dignity at his command, to be gathered around His table, in the hour when the seventh shofar begins to sound.

They Saw The Voices

The seven thunders

Thunder upon waters, changing darkness to light
Thunder from the Strong Hand, plucking Adam from the serpent's fang
Thunder crackling through the splendor, lifting Isaac from the altar to the chariot
Thunder like a wave leveling the northern forests and kingdoms
Thunder like rolling fire and steam, waves of plasma, balancing justice and kindness on a plume
Thunder like pillars of heat exploding with redemption in the desert
Thunder like the cry of mothers in the wilderness giving birth to worlds
