“Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai”. These are the words Yeshua is waiting for. Because when we all speak them, He will come again. He promises this is Matthew 23:39 “For I tell you, you will not see Me again, until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of Adonai”. Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai.
Yeshua says this after He speaks in v. 37-38, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See your house (Temple) is left to you desolate.” And continues, ”For I tell you, you will not see ME again until you say, “Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai”.
Yeshua sees what is happening. At this point in history, He knows the Temple is going to be leveled and His people are going to be dispersed. It is coming soon. But, as He prophecies this to His talmidim (disciples), He also gives the promise that He will return. And when He does He will gather His chosen ones to Jerusalem! Yes!
The pain and sadness He must have felt when He sat across from the Holy City on the Mount of Olives. He knew that after His life was sacrificed, and after He had ascended to HaShem, that it was going to be a long, hard journey for His followers (and for those who chose not to trust in Him). And here we are 2,000 years later, still trying to understand His teachings! Still comprehend His Words. And so sadly, arguing with each other as to who has the “correct” interpretation. If we would only read and study His Scriptures, we would know His plan and know how to pray! If we would only love Him and seek Him with all our hearts. Maybe, just maybe that would speed up His return!
How very interesting that the Temple would be destroyed and His people exiled right after the Messiah visits! I was thinking that maybe, just maybe His visit could have been perfect timing? (You think?) He knew it would take centuries, before mankind would grasp His complete Truth, so He provided HOPE. Hope in the form of presenting His only unique Son – Yeshua. Hope to believe that He will fulfill His Words, and return to us forever!
The Temple was erased from sight and then taken over by the enemy. Just like the enemy continues to try and steal our faith and the Truth! But, HaShem's Word is eternal and eternally faithful. The times we are in are coming to an end. And with my whole heart, as I have written many times, I believe when HaShem's people come back to the Torah and come back to Him, believing and trusting in Yeshua, that He will inspire His Temple to be built in Jerusalem. His House. A place for Him to dwell in. It is time to take back what the enemy has stolen! Amen!
So, recently it dawned on me. We should be praying that any building on the Temple site that is not HaShem’s, should be removed. That room should be made for His Holy Temple, the place where He will place His Name. We should be crying out to HaShem, that His Holy Place will be rebuilt so that He can send Yeshua back to us! To rule and reign forever! Don’t you think this is a very, very important prayer?
And to complete this prayer, Yeshua gives us very specific words to say, “Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai!” Blessed is He who comes in the Name of HaShem. He tells us we will not see Him again, until we pray these words. My brothers and sisters, this so critical. Let us begin today! Make a sign on your wall, your refrigerator, your Bible that quotes the words, “Baruch Haba HaShem Adonai!” Believe in Him, repent and get ready, teshuvah! He will return!
