The Most Misunderstood Verse in the New Testament

Ron Cantor —  March 9, 2016 Messiah's Mandate

We take a look at Galatians 3:28 and share why it is misunderstood and tell you what it really means.

Lift my eyes up...

I will lift my eyes to the hills, from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord the Maker of Heaven and Earth. PSALMS 121:1,2 אֶשָּׂא עֵינַי אֶל הֶהָרִים מֵאַיִן יָבֹא עֶזְרִי עֶזְרִי מֵעִם יְ-הוָה עֹשֵׂה שָׁמַיִם וָאָרֶץתהילים קכא:א,ב eh-SA ay-NIE el he-ha-REEM may-ah-YEEN ya-VOE ez-REE ez-REE may-EEM ah-doe-NIE oh-SAY sha-ma-YEEM va-ah-RETZ

Today's Israel Inspiration This famous chapter in Psalms asks for God to provide  assistance through all of life’s trying moments, but according to Jewish mysticism, it contains a specific secret formula as well.  “From where does my help come” in Hebrew is ‘from where does  my עֶזְרִי come from." This is the same word used in Genesis when  God creates Eve to be an כנגדו עזר/ a ‘help mate’ for Adam.  Accordingly, Psalm 121 is considered to be particularly potent  when praying for an appropriate spouse, as in "my help mate  comes from the Lord."
