SPECIAL PESACH EDITION 2007
REMOVING THE LEAVEN OF “SINAT CHINAM” HATRED WITHOUT A CAUSE
Shabbat shalom dearly beloved:
This is probably the most important article that I have ever written! As we prepare to enter into the Holy Passover and Feast of Matzah (unleavened bread,) it is necessary to cleanse our physical and spiritual houses from ALL leaven! The most devastating leaven (sin) of all is Sinat Chinam also translated as a Hatred Without a Cause. When people discuss, (in Israel) the reason for the fall and total destruction of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem 2000 years ago in year 70 AD, they always say- “The House (Beit Mikdash or Mishkan, the Holy Temple) was destroyed because of “SINAT CHINAM”. In other words, there was a spirit of hatred that was unjust, unfair and futile that destroyed the Second Temple and caused the exile of the Jewish People for 2000 years! Until today we weep when we go to the Wailing/Western Wall, the Kotel. We weep for the destruction of the Temple and Jews from all walks of life. Most particularly the Orthodox Jews pray earnestly with tears for its RESTORATION. The Kotel is the Western retaining wall of the Temple, of the “TEMPLE HOUSE” there is NOTHING LEFT! Just like Y’shua said to His Jewish Disciples prior to His Death, Burial and Resurrection:
“Yeshua came out from the temple and was going away when His disciples came up to point out the temple buildings to Him. He said to them, "Do you not see all these things? Truly I say to you, not one stone here will be left upon another, which will not be torn down." Matthew 24:1-2
And indeed nothing is left from the Temple itself, not even one stone! We have a lot of archeological remains from the streets next to the Temple, from the houses around it and of course The Kotel (the Western Wall), but of The Temple House itself-NOTHING! And as I mentioned before, we Jews know that all this terrible devastation happened because of SINAT CHINAM- Hatred Without a Cause. What kind of FORCE is this hatred that can bring so much devastation?
Another bout of Sinat Chinam happened on 9/11 2001, when the Beast of Sinat Chinam, in the form of Islamic Al Qaida, attacked the USA and, brought down the Twin Towers, and attacked the Pentagon. The attackers were Moslems that had enjoyed the blessings of living in a land of “equal opportunities”, the land of Milk and Honey of the world. These Moslem Arabs were welcomed, and helped, and blessed in America so why did they attack their benefactors? Because of SINAT CHINAM- Hatred Without a Cause!
When the nation of Israel was reborn in the Land of Promise in 1948, the same Sinat Chinam was unleashed against her. 24 hours after the Declaration of Independence all the Arab nations declared war against the tiny infant Jewish State. So Israel was a new born babe having to fight for her life from infancy! Had it not been for the Almighty who upheld us, because of His Covenant with Abraham, (unto 1000 generations!), and the numerous prophecies about the Restoration of Israel; the Sinat Chinam of the Moslem world would have long ago destroyed us!
“Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel. "Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of Yahveh. "He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse." Malachi 4:4-6 In order to defeat this Beast, we need to REMEMBER Yahveh’s Holy and Righteous standards, and then receive the Spirit of Elijah, the End Time anointing of reconciling the irreconcilable, restoring the unrestorable; beginning at the relational level between Fathers and sons.
The number one reconciliation needs to happen between Adam-Man and his Creator Abba Father-Elohim. That is why accepting the Jewish Messiah is a matter of life and death! The rejection of the Messiah Y’shua caused the destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem. It is Y’shua that the Religious Administration hated without a cause! He did not fit their theology! Then later on the Beast of Sinat Chinam continued through the Gentile Christians as they hated the Jewishness of Messiah and the TORAH. That in turn caused them to hate their Jewish brothers and their Spiritual Parents. That hatred was established as Replacement Theology and the Beast kept on running its course! Today that same Beast functions through Islam against the Jews, the Israelis, the Zionist and the whole World!
That is why Sinat Chinam caused the destruction of the Second Temple, and it is threatening to destroy Israel, the Church, the Nations and the Third Temple!
LOVE! "You have heard that it was said, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR and hate your enemy.' “But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. "For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? "If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? "Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:43-48 In these High Tech generation, when we have everything available to make our business and or ministry extremely professional and influential, there is ONLY ONE “piece of equipment” that will really work! It is as old as Yah, and His Word, and this is LOVE! Whether you have lots of money or not, weather you are computer literate or not, weather you have a 20.000 seat auditorium in your congregation or 50, weather you are a TV Evangelist or a street preacher; weather you are a Jew or a Gentile. Only real necessary piece of equipment is LOVE; True love, unfeigned love, non hypocritical and transparent love. A LOVE that does not conform to evil, but rather confronts evil, and is willing to lay down its life. A LOVE that does not seek its own and trusts God! A LOVE that is not afraid to be TRUE even at the expense of our own lives, and yet it is not spiteful, self seeking, bitter, easily offended and motivated with anything else but LOVE. Sinat Chinam destroyed the Second Temple, and we cannot allow it to destroy the Third Temple where Jew and Gentile are built together as a Spiritual House, the Temple of the Holy Spirit.
“Wrath is fierce and anger is a flood, but who can stand before jealousy? Better is open rebuke than love that is concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy.” Proverbs 27:4-6
We cannot allow this Beast of hatred to destroy the world! This Beast hates you and I and it functions through perverted LIES. This Beast is satan himself, the very snake that was in the Garden of Eden! It is the very Lucifer that rebelled against Elohim in the Third Heavens because of JEALOUSY! It hates you and I, it hates all Mankind! It hates TRUTH, for it is the very Father of Lies. It lurks and functions in the dark and so does LEAVEN. Leaven in order to rise needs a dark, warm place. This Pessach make sure that ALL leaven of bitterness, OFFENCES, hatred, jealousy, vengeance and LIES leave your heart and mind, that we may celebrate the Feast in Holiness, Righteousness and LOVE!
“Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new lump, just as you are in fact unleavened. For the Messiah our Passover also has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.” 1 Corinthians 5:7,8
Sincerity and Truth go hand in hand with true LOVE. “Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.” 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 LOVE NEVER FAILS
Chag Sameach! Happy Feast of Passover!
