The Hebron Herald

Shalom Brothers and Sisters in Yeshua, our Messiah,  We have just entered the time period given to Israel for the taking of a lamb and keeping it among them for inspection.  From the 10th to the 14th days before the sacrifice and then the eating of this lamb on the Passover meal.  As we look at the Gospels we see how Yeshua rode into Jerusalem as the Lamb in the midst of His people.  For this 4 to 5 days Yeshua remained in Jerusalem under scrutiny, questions and accusations, answering and teaching, but above all demonstrating His PERFECTION, PURPOSE and PRESENCE among them as the Lamb of God taking away the sins of the world. 'I am here to die for your sins this Pesach as your Messiah.' May we also remember all that Yeshua taught, suffered and demonstrated over these days as being for us as well. He became sin that we may take on His sinlessness.  He demonstrated His purity that He may be our perfect sacrifice.  He alone i...

Exodus 12: 1  Now YHVH  said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt,  2 “This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you. I find it interesting that YHVH said "to you".  Not to the nations around, but to His chosen people, Israel.  This lunar calendar sets apart those who keep His ways and reminds them cyclically and constantly that the Messiah is YHVH's redemptive love to mankind and it is through Him alone that salvation is entered into.  How merciful, how amazing and what wisdom!

It's been quite a while since I popped up a post about the happenings here at Hebron so thought it was about time I shared some photos and news, after all, I shouldn't be the only one to enjoy this plot of earth. The summer months can be challenging time as there are more tasks to attend to but it also provides more chances to get to know the property a bit better and watch the growth of the trees. We endured a dry spring so the pasture has been lacking over the summer.  One of the benefits of running a Damara flock of sheep is they excel in dry, harsh environments so they are in good condition.  We sent off a few older ewes as well as a number of young wether lambs to the butcher.  One of the lambs will be for Pesach, which is only a few weeks away. One of the more unpleasant tasks has been in dealing with the caltrope curse, commonly known as three-cornered jack, or if you're a Victorian, bindi.  Unfortunately after spending many hours pulling...
