WE are Scattered, Not Scatter-brained, WE are WISE and some of US are LEVITES

 "For the priest's lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts." (2:4-7).

 Jane E Lythgoe said it best in her FB post:
 "LOVE THIS ARTICLE! Many Levites went to Scotland. There were more red-heads in Levi than Judah. Levi contains the teachers, artists, musicians, the skilled—not the farmers. They will be purified first and make aliyah first—the *true* spiritual LUI (Levites).

And check out her new AWESOME weekly Torah Portion "cheat sheets" or themes designed to introduce us to the weekly portion so that we can *SEE* how it's applicable to the fulfillment of prophecy right now.

HOW THIS RELATES TO NOW?—More ideas welcome.

ISRAELITES OPPRESSED—We—the scattered Israelites around the world—are still being oppressed in spiritual: Babylon, and Assyria (soon to be the domain of King William V—the German Assyrian Anti-Messiah).

BRICKS WITHOUT STRAW—Many of us are now fighting some of the hardest battles of our lives. We have that, coupled with our possible increasing concern/fear that the Great Tribulation is soon upon us—and that we need to flee to our Place of Safety soon.

PROMISED DELIVERANCE—Father reassures us that our time to make aliyah will be soon—as evident from prophecies being fulfilled more and more in current events, and through our own Bible studies.

Here is a FB post today from Maggie Hein‎ to International Society of Genetic Genealogy (ISOGG)
"There was a segment on NPR's Morning Edition about using DNA testing for genealogy research. It wasn't terrible (not as innacurate as some general media reporting), but the headline states that it is a "short cut" to DNA research, which as we all know isn't the case. There was also a suggestion in the story that Ancestry is developing a way to pinpoint exactly (as in exactly what town or village) a person originated from. The segment audio runs about 7 minutes. They haven't posted the transcript yet, so if you want to read rather than listen, check back later:"

HIS WAY not our way

Dan Humprey on FB said it best: "THINK SUNDAY WORSHIP IS PERFECTLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE ETERNAL? BETTER THINK AGAIN.
"Then said he unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? turn thee yet again, and thou shalt see greater abominations than these.
And he brought me into the inner court of the Lord's house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.
Then he said unto me, Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? for they have filled the land with violence, and have returned to provoke me to anger: and, lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Therefore will I also deal in fury: mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: and though they cry in mine ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
Ezekiel 8:15-18
