1 Why

2 The
earth's kings are taking positions,

ADONAI and his anointed.

cry, "Let's break their fetters!
Let's
throw off their chains!"
4 He
who sits in heaven laughs;
Adonai
looks at them in derision.
5 Then
in his anger he rebukes them,

them in his fury.

myself have installed my king on Tziyon,

'You

OLD
TESTAMENT:
JEREMIAH 39:1 - 41:18
39:1 It
happened when Yerushalayim was taken, (in the ninth year of
Tzidkiyahu king of Yehudah, in the tenth month, came
Nevukhadretztzar king of Bavel and all his army against
Yerushalayim, and besieged it; 2 in
the eleventh year of Tzidkiyahu, in the fourth month, the ninth day
of the month, a breach was made in the city,) 3 that
all the princes of the king of Bavel came in, and sat in the middle
gate, [to wit], Nergal-Sar'etzer, Samgar-Nevo, Sarsekhim, Rav-Saris,
Nergal-Sar'etzer, Rav-Mag, with all the rest of the princes of the
king of Bavel. 4 It
happened that, when Tzidkiyahu the king of Yehudah and all the men
of war saw them, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by
night, by the way of the king's garden, through the gate between the
two walls; and he went out toward the `Aravah. 5 But
the army of the Kasdim pursued after them, and overtook Tzidkiyahu
in the plains of Yericho: and when they had taken him, they brought
him up to Nevukhadretztzar king of Bavel to Rivlah in the land of
Hamat; and he gave judgment on him. 6 Then
the king of Bavel killed the sons of Tzidkiyahu in Rivlah before his
eyes: also the king of Bavel killed all the nobles of
Yehudah. 7 Moreover
he put out Tzidkiyahu's eyes, and bound him in fetters, to carry him
to Bavel. 8 The
Kasdim burned the king's house, and the houses of the people, with
fire, and broke down the walls of Yerushalayim. 9 Then
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into
Bavel the residue of the people who remained in the city, the
deserters also who fell away to him, and the residue of the people
who remained.10 But
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the
people, who had nothing, in the land of Yehudah, and gave them
vineyards and fields at the same time. 11 Now
Nevukhadretztzar king of Bavel gave charge concerning Yirmeyahu to
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard, saying, 12
Take
him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do to him even as
he shall tell you. 13 So
Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nevushazban,
Rav-Saris, and Nergal-Sar'etzer, Rav-Mag, and all the chief officers
of the king of Bavel; 14 they
sent, and took Yirmeyahu out of the court of the guard, and
committed him to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan,
that he should carry him home: so he lived among the people. 15 Now
the word of the LORD came to Yirmeyahu, while he was shut up in the
court of the guard, saying, 16 Go,
and speak to `Eved-Melekh the Kushite, saying, Thus says the LORD of
Hosts, the God of Yisra'el: Behold, I will bring my words on this
city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be accomplished
before you in that day. 17 But
I will deliver you in that day, says the LORD; and you shall not be
given into the hand of the men of whom you are afraid. 18 For
I will surely save you, and you shall not fall by the sword, but
your life shall be for a prey to you; because you have put your
trust in me, says the LORD.
40:1 The
word which came to Yirmeyahu from the LORD, after that Nevuzar'adan
the captain of the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had
taken him being bound in chains among all the captives of
Yerushalayim and Yehudah, who were carried away captive to
Bavel. 2 The
captain of the guard took Yirmeyahu, and said to him, the LORD your
God pronounced this evil on this place; 3 and
the LORD has brought it, and done according as he spoke: because you
have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed his voice,
therefore this thing is come on you. 4 Now,
behold, I loose you this day from the chains which are on your hand.
If it seem good to you to come with me into Bavel, come, and I will
look well to you; but if it seem ill to you to come with me into
Bavel, forbear: behold, all the land is before you; where it seems
good and right to you to go, there go. 5 Now
while he was not yet gone back, Go back then, [said he], to
Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan, whom the king of
Bavel has made governor over the cities of Yehudah, and dwell with
him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So
the captain of the guard gave him victuals and a present, and let
him go. 6
Then
went Yirmeyahu to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam to Mitzpah, and lived
with him among the people who were left in the land. 7 Now
when all the captains of the forces who were in the fields, even
they and their men, heard that the king of Bavel had made Gedalyahu
the son of Achikam governor in the land, and had committed to him
men, and women, and children, and of the poorest of the land, of
those who were not carried away captive to Bavel; 8 then
they came to Gedalyahu to Mitzpah, [to wit], Yishma'el the son of
Netanyah, and Yochanan and Yonatan the sons of Kareach, and Serayah
the son of Tanchumet, and the sons of `Efai the Netofatite, and
Yezanyah the son of the Ma`akhatite, they and their men. 9 Gedalyahu
the son of Achikam the son of Shafan swore to them and to their men,
saying, Don't be afraid to serve the Kasdim: dwell in the land, and
serve the king of Bavel, and it shall be well with you. 10 As
for me, behold, I will dwell at Mitzpah, to stand before the Kasdim
who shall come to us: but you, gather you wine and summer fruits and
oil, and put them in your vessels, and dwell in your cities that you
have taken. 11 Likewise
when all the Yehudim who were in Mo'av, and among the children of
`Ammon, and in Edom, and who were in all the countries, heard that
the king of Bavel had left a remnant of Yehudah, and that he had set
over them Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, the son of Shafan; 12 then
all the Yehudim returned out of all places where they were driven,
and came to the land of Yehudah, to Gedalyahu, to Mitzpah, and
gathered wine and summer fruits very much. 13 Moreover
Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces who
were in the fields, came to Gedalyahu to Mitzpah, 14 and
said to him, Do you know that Baalis the king of the children of
`Ammon has sent Yishma'el the son of Netanyah to take your life? But
Gedalyahu the son of Achikam didn't believe them. 15 Then
Yochanan the son of Kareach spoke to Gedalyahu in Mitzpah secretly,
saying, Please let me go, and I will kill Yishma'el the son of
Netanyah, and no man shall know it: why should he take your life,
that all the Yehudim who are gathered to you should be scattered,
and the remnant of Yehudah perish? 16 But
Gedalyahu the son of Achikam said to Yochanan the son of Kareach,
You shall not do this thing; for you speak falsely of Yishma'el.
41:1 Now
it happened in the seventh month, that Yishma'el the son of
Netanyah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal and [one of] the
chief officers of the king, and ten men with him, came to Gedalyahu
the son of Achikam to Mitzpah; and there they ate bread together in
Mitzpah. 2 Then
arose Yishma'el the son of Netanyah, and the ten men who were with
him, and struck Gedalyahu the son of Achikam the son of Shafan with
the sword, and killed him, whom the king of Bavel had made governor
over the land.
3
Yishma'el
also killed all the Yehudim who were with him, [to wit], with
Gedalyahu, at Mitzpah, and the Kasdim who were found there, the men
of war. 4 It
happened the second day after he had killed Gedalyahu, and no man
knew it, 5 that
there came men from Shekhem, from Shiloh, and from Shomron, even
eighty men, having their beards shaved and their clothes torn, and
having cut themselves, with meal-offerings and frankincense in their
hand, to bring them to the house of the LORD. 6 Yishma'el
the son of Netanyah went forth from Mitzpah to meet them, weeping
all along as he went: and it happened, as he met them, he said to
them, Come to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam. 7 It
was so, when they came into the midst of the city, that Yishma'el
the son of Netanyah killed them, [and cast them] into the midst of
the pit, he, and the men who were with him. 8 But
ten men were found among those who said to Yishma'el, Don't kill us;
for we have stores hidden in the field, of wheat, and of barley, and
of oil, and of honey. So he stopped, and didn't kill them among
their brothers. 9 Now
the pit in which Yishma'el cast all the dead bodies of the men whom
he had killed, by the side of Gedalyahu (the same was who which Asa
the king had made for fear of Ba`sha king of Yisra'el,) Yishma'el
the son of Netanyah filled it with those who were killed. 10
Then
Yishma'el carried away captive all the residue of the people who
were in Mitzpah, even the king's daughters, and all the people who
remained in Mitzpah, whom Nevuzar'adan the captain of the guard had
committed to Gedalyahu the son of Achikam; Yishma'el the son of
Netanyah carried them away captive, and departed to go over to the
children of `Ammon. 11 But
when Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces
who were with him, heard of all the evil that Yishma'el the son of
Netanyah had done, 12 then
they took all the men, and went to fight with Yishma'el the son of
Netanyah, and found him by the great waters that are in
Giv`on. 13 Now
it happened that, when all the people who were with Yishma'el saw
Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces who
were with him, then they were glad. 14 So
all the people who Yishma'el had carried away captive from Mitzpah
turned about and came back, and went to Yochanan the son of
Kareach. 15 But
Yishma'el the son of Netanyah escaped from Yochanan with eight men,
and went to the children of `Ammon. 16
Then
took Yochanan the son of Kareach, and all the captains of the forces
who were with him, all the remnant of the people whom he had
recovered from Yishma'el the son of Netanyah, from Mitzpah, after
that he had killed Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, [to wit], the men
of war, and the women, and the children, and the eunuchs, whom he
had brought back from Giv`on: 17 and
they departed, and lived in Gerut-Kimaham, which is by Beit-Lechem,
to go to enter into Mitzrayim, 18 because
of the Kasdim; for they were afraid of them, because Yishma'el the
son of Netanyah had killed Gedalyahu the son of Achikam, whom the
king of Bavel made governor over the land.

TESTAMENT:
2 TIMOTHY 1:1 - 18
1:1 Sha'ul,
an apostle of Yeshua the Messiah through the will of God, according
to the promise of the life which is in Messiah Yeshua,
2 to
Timothy, my beloved child: Grace, mercy, and shalom, from God, the
Father, and Messiah Yeshua, our Lord.
3 I
thank God, whom I serve as my forefathers did, with a pure
conscience. How unceasing is my memory of you in my petitions, night
and day
4 longing
to see you, remembering your tears, that I may be filled with joy;
5 having
been reminded of the unfeigned faith that is in you; which lived
first in your grandmother Lois, and your mother Eunice, and, I am
persuaded, in you also.
6 For
this cause, I remind you that you should stir up the gift of God
which is in you through the laying on of my hands.
7 For
God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and
discipline.
8 Don't
be ashamed therefore of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me, his
prisoner; but suffer hardship with the Good News according to the
power of God,
9 who
saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our
works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given
to us in Messiah Yeshua before times eternal,
10 but
has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Messiah
Yeshua, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to
light through the Good News.
11 For
this, I was appointed as a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher of
the Goyim.
12
For
this cause I suffer also these things. Yet I am not ashamed, for I
know him whom I have believed, and I am persuaded that he is able to
guard that which I have committed to him against that day.
13
Hold
the pattern of sound words which you have heard from me, in faith
and love which is in Messiah Yeshua.
14 That
good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Ruach
HaKodesh which dwells in us.
15 This
you know, that all who are in Asia turned away from me; of whom are
Phygelus and Hermogenes.
16 May
the Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often
refreshed me, and was not ashamed of my chain,
17 but
when he was in Rome, he sought me diligently, and found me
18 (the
Lord grant to him to find the Lord's mercy in that day); and in how
many things he served at Ephesus, you know very well.
John 3:16-21 16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, F that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.G 19 This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God."
