Bible Study Together:
Numbers 21:1-35
7 So the people came to Moses and said, “We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord and against you; intercede with the Lord, that He will remove the serpents from us.” And Moses interceded for the people. 8 Then the Lord said to Moses, “[j]Make a fiery serpent, and put it on a flag pole; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, and looks at it, will live.” 9 So Moses made a bronze serpent and put it on the flag pole; and it came about, that if a serpent bit someone, and he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.
16 From there they continued to [n]Beer, that is the well where the Lord said to Moses, “Assemble the people, that I may give them water.”
17 Then Israel sang this song:
“Spring up, O well! Sing to it!18 The well, which the leaders dug,Which the nobles of the people hollowed out,With the scepter and with their staffs.”
And from the wilderness they continued to Mattanah, 19 and from Mattanah to Nahaliel, and from Nahaliel to Bamoth, 20 and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the land of Moab, at the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the [o]desert.
34 But the Lord said to Moses, “Do not fear him, for I have handed him over to you, and all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who lived in Heshbon.” 35 So they [u]killed him and his sons and all his people, until there was no survivor left; and they took possession of his land.

2 Chronicles 11
2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying, 3 “Tell Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying, 4 ‘This is what the Lord says: “You shall not go up nor fight against your relatives; return, every man, to his house, for this [a]event is from Me.”’” So they listened to the words of the Lord and returned from going against Jeroboam.
16 Those from all the tribes of Israel who set their hearts on seeking the Lord God of Israel [b]followed them to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers. 17 They strengthened the kingdom of Judah and supported Rehoboam the son of Solomon for three years, for they walked in the way of David and Solomon for three years.
2 Chronicles 12
7 When the Lord saw that they had humbled themselves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves, so I will not destroy them; and I will grant them a little deliverance, and My wrath will not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak.
2 Chronicles 13
15 Then the men of Judah raised a war cry, and when the men of Judah raised the war cry, God [j]defeated Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah. 16 When the sons of Israel fled from Judah, God handed them over to them. 17 Abijah and his people defeated them with a great slaughter, so that five hundred thousand chosen men of Israel fell slain. 18 The sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah [k]conquered because they trusted in the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Romans 8
From Suffering to Glory
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. 19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God. 20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope; 21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of [f]corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now. 23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body. 24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession [g]for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose. 29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. 30 Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
God’s Everlasting Love
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. 38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, 39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Psalm 18
37 I have pursued my enemies and overtaken them;Neither did I turn back again till they were destroyed.38 I have wounded them,So that they could not rise;They have fallen under my feet.39 For You have armed me with strength for the battle;You have [a]subdued under me those who rose up against me.40 You have also given me the necks of my enemies,So that I destroyed those who hated me.41 They cried out, but there was none to save; Even to the Lord, but He did not answer them.42 Then I beat them as fine as the dust before the wind;I cast them out like dirt in the streets.
43 You have delivered me from the strivings of the people;You have made me the head of the [b]nations;A people I have not known shall serve me.44 As soon as they hear of me they obey me; The foreigners [c]submit to me. 45 The foreigners fade away, And come frightened from their hideouts.
46 The Lord lives!Blessed be my Rock!Let the God of my salvation be exalted.47 It is God who avenges me,And subdues the peoples under me;48 He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those who rise against me;You have delivered me from the violent man.49 Therefore I will give thanks to You, O Lord, among the [d]Gentiles,And sing praises to Your name.
50 Great deliverance He gives to His king,And shows mercy to His anointed,To David and his [e]descendants forevermore.
Proverbs 19
27 Cease listening to instruction, my son, And you will stray from the words of knowledge.
Dear AVI,
O King of GLORY, HOLY are YOU O GOD, majestic in power and authority! O GOD YOU are My Hero My Savior, My all it comes from YOU! It seems I am asleep in my Spirit, awaken me Adonai as YOU enable me to fast this week for the 9th of Av. Help me Adonai, I want to be taken into the glory caught up in the clouds to meet YOU. I am not worthy to be a martyr, since YOU have not given me Mosab I understand Adonai that maybe YOUR plans have changed because I have failed YOUR tests, I may have failed YOU O GOD but YOU will never fail me. Forgive me of all my sins, my failures, my weakness, forgive me O GOD, but I still chose to endure the sufferings in this life I still endure because I am YOURS and I will be YOURS forever. I am YOUR child because YOU have claimed me, even thought the world does not understand me, I am YOURS and even when my own family hurts me, I will remain with YOU, because YOU are a good GOD and one day YOU will repay and reward me for all that I have endured just to follow YOU and to be ONE with YOU. I am ONE with YOU O GOD. Please give me a husband who is ONE with YOU too. Please O GOD, bring us together, be it Mosab or Not because even Mosab could have fallen from following YOU as he is already going into the cosmic religion. But O LORD, send me a man born in Zion whose heart follows after YOU, who awaits YOUR coming like Dr Barry Awe, who is in love with YOU more than HE would be loving me. I pray that both of us will live out our faith pleasing YOU, make us HOLY O GOD before YOU. And I pray that if this man is really the person YOU want me to marry that he will join with me to volunteer in Israel this year. Please AVI, let him join me and together we will discover more of YOU. I believe YOU have the best for me. I believe this man is not lazy but strong in his spirit please O GOD, do not give me away to just anyone but to someone who truly loves YOU and follows after YOU, like Yousef. O GOD, I am excited today please do not let him be a blondie, I don't like blondes, I like dark heads, just like Mosab Hassan Yousef. O GOD, bring us together please and make us the best of friends make us best friends first so we can know each other without the expectation of being something more, I pray make us the best of friends first. Please GOD, I do not want to marry an average guy. YOU already promised me Mosab so why should YOU give me any less? Please do not allow this in my life. Protect me from desperation but help me to always fix my eyes on YOU. I really cannot imagine anything anymore, but I do imagine us loving YOU together. I will know when I meet him because YOUR Voice I will hear it clearly, YOU will point him out to me. For YOU are the LORD my GOD My FATHER who is in full control of my life and who loves me more than anyone and I pledge alligiance to YOU O KING JESUS! For YOU deserve all my praise, my heart, my life, my all, my devotion, all the honor!
Ba HaShem YESHUA HaMashiach, Amen!

Parshat Va'etchanan, 2nd Portion (Devarim (Deuteronomy) 4:5-4:40)
5 “Surely I have taught you statutes and judgments, just as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should act according to them in the land which you go to possess.
14 And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that you might [d]observe them in the land which you cross over to possess.
40 You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I command you today, that [l]it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may [m]prolong your days in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for all time.”
