Free Your Mind (a remix) (vlog57)


Atomsound Sounding Vlog 57 is more of a re-presenting (and gift of bandwidth to the makers!) than a remix. Kumah.org has produced this amazing, profound, delightful, mysterious, humorous little movie based on the Matrix! It's all about Aliyah - the exodus or return of Jews from the exile back to their ancient homeland - eretz Y'israel - The Land of Israel! All I've got to say is this - if I were Jewish and if the government of Israel would WAKE UP and receive ALL THE MILLIONS of completed Jews who have received Yeshua as Messiah (what? they receive Bhuddist Jews? Hindu Jews? but not Christian Jews? What is this?)... then I'll gladly move there with my 6 children (by then, it will be 7, I assure you!)! If the guv hasn't changed on the completed Jew thing, I'll try to send my children by the Birthright program!

Why?

Cos Israel ROCKS, that's why!

And because the God of my Bible says THAT'S where He's gonna set up shop... and I want any of my family who might possibly have made it through the coming trouble in one piece to be AS CLOSE TO MOSHIACH IN YERUSHALAYIM AS POSSIBLE!!!

Zechariah raps about it much ... and so should YOU -

Chapter 8 -
1 - And there is a word of Jehovah of Hosts, saying: 2 - `Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: I have been zealous for Zion with great zeal, With great heat I have been zealous for her. 3 - Thus said Jehovah: I have turned back unto Zion, And I have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And Jerusalem hath been called `The city of truth,' And the mountain of Jehovah of Hosts, `The holy mountain.' 4 - Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Again dwell do old men and old women, In broad places of Jerusalem, And each his staff in his hand, Because of abundance of days. 5 - And broad places of the city are full of boys and girls, Playing in its broad places. 6 - Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Surely it is wonderful in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, Also in Mine eyes it is wonderful, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts. 7 - Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am saving My people from the land of the rising, And from the land of the going in, of the sun, 8 - And I have brought them in, They have dwelt in the midst of Jerusalem, And they have been to Me for a people, And I am to them for God, In truth and in righteousness. 9 - Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands be strong, Ye who are hearing in these days these words from the mouth of the prophets, That in the day the house of Jehovah of Hosts Hath been founded, the temple [is] to be built.

Chapter 14 -
3 - And gone forth hath Jehovah, And He hath fought against those nations, As in the day of His fighting in a day of conflict. 4 - And stood have His feet, in that day, On the mount of Olives, That [is] before Jerusalem eastward, And cleft hath been the mount of Olives at its midst, To the east, and to the west, a very great valley, And removed hath the half of the mount towards the north. And its half towards the south.

9 - And Jehovah hath become king over all the land, In that day there is one Jehovah, and His name one.

16 - And it hath come to pass, Every one who hath been left of all the nations, Who are coming in against Jerusalem, They have also gone up from year to year, To bow themselves to the King, Jehovah of Hosts, And to celebrate the feast of the booths.

Isaiah 2:3
3 - And many people will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us concerning His ways
And that we may walk in His paths."
For the law will go forth (A)from Zion
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem."

I know I want to be there! Don't you? Trust in Yeshua today. He will carry your wickedness and sorrows away as far as the east is from the west... if you consent and receive Him for who He is... King of the Universe, Savior of the Guilty!

The Cross (vlog56)



Vlog 56 features a cover of Prince's "The Cross." The Cross is easy to sing about if you consider the brilliant HIDDEN wisdom in it!

Following is the ancient Hebrew text (in modern paraphrase) which fortold the story of the One who endured the Cross. Imagine - for you who don't know Him yet - if this Universe truly is built by an intelligent omniscient being... and if He really did absorb and absolve the evil of humanity upon himself as he was being TORTURED as a prisoner of conscience... it's unfathomable! The King of the Universe is the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53!!! FASCINATING! And not just that... merciful and wonderful!

Isaiah 53 (The Message)
The Message (MSG)

Isaiah 53

1 Who believes what we've heard and seen?

Who would have thought GOD's saving power would look like this?

2 The servant grew up before God--a scrawny seedling,

a scrubby plant in a parched field.

There was nothing attractive about him,

nothing to cause us to take a second look.

3 He was looked down on and passed over,

a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.

One look at him and people turned away.

We looked down on him, thought he was scum.

4 But the fact is, it was our pains he carried--

our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.

We thought he brought it on himself,

that God was punishing him for his own failures.

5 But it was our sins that did that to him,

that ripped and tore and crushed him--our sins!

He took the punishment, and that made us whole.

Through his bruises we get healed.

6 We're all like sheep who've wandered off and gotten lost.

We've all done our own thing, gone our own way.

And GOD has piled all our sins, everything we've done wrong,

on him, on him.

7 He was beaten, he was tortured,

but he didn't say a word.

Like a lamb taken to be slaughtered

and like a sheep being sheared,

he took it all in silence.

8 Justice miscarried, and he was led off--

and did anyone really know what was happening?

He died without a thought for his own welfare,

beaten bloody for the sins of my people.

9 They buried him with the wicked,

threw him in a grave with a rich man,

Even though he'd never hurt a soul

or said one word that wasn't true.

10 Still, it's what GOD had in mind all along,

to crush him with pain.

The plan was that he give himself as an offering for sin

so that he'd see life come from it--life, life, and more life.

And GOD's plan will deeply prosper through him.

11 Out of that terrible travail of soul,

he'll see that it's worth it and be glad he did it.

Through what he experienced, my righteous one, my servant,

will make many "righteous ones,"

as he himself carries the burden of their sins.

12 Therefore I'll reward him extravagantly--

the best of everything, the highest honors--

Because he looked death in the face and didn't flinch,

because he embraced the company of the lowest.

He took on his own shoulders the sin of the many,

he took up the cause of all the black sheep.
