Praise His Name!

0:01 This time, I wanna pray for Rabbi Ari as he comes to deliver a message to us today. Eno, we come to you and we give you thanks. We give you thanks as we see that you continue to work from generation to generation. Father, we pray that you would continue to work in our rabbi, father, all that he has studied, all that you have poured into his heart. Let it overflow during this hour. And Father, we pray that as it overflows, that we would have ears to hear and eyes to see how you are directing us, that we may be image bearers of your son. In the mighty name of Yeshua we pray. Amen. Amen. Marcus, that was a prophetic prayer.

0:48 He said in this hour, just playing only kind of, it has been 736 days, there remain 48 hostages, 20 of whom are thought to be living. We received a glimpse of hope this week, and it still is in process. I don't know how else to say that. In fact, I just, when, when Marcus came down a minute ago,

1:35 I, I was just checking the news, just I wanted to see if anything was changing, uh, as, as we were here. And just in the last half hour, two American officials, one being Steve Witkoff and the other being the Syncom commander, Adam Brad Cooper, made a rare visit to a us, uh, to an Israeli military base, uh, post in Gaza, in the Gaza Strip. Uh, and they were there to confirm that Israel has withdrawn to the agreed upon lines, which was a part of this, uh, ceasefire agreement. And, uh, I don't, you, you could have,

2:21 I don't know if you pay attention, but you could have seen the, the troops moving, being pulled back over the last 24 to 36 hours, um, as Israel was, was withdrawing to their, uh, agreed upon point of, of withdrawal, The hostages. I I can't tell you how many articles I've read, how many different pieces of news I've read to the best of my ability. The hostages are supposed to be released within the next about 72 hours. Uh, I, I'm gonna say, give or take a little bit. I've read Monday. I, I started a couple days ago hearing today, then I read Monday, then I read Tuesday. So I don't know that anybody knows yet.

3:07 Um, I do know that at one point Hamas said that they didn't know where all the bodies were and they had to find them. Uh, so let me, let me give you again, this, this deal was the, it, it, it seems to have been orchestrated, um, by President Trump. The deal. I don't know about you guys. I actually haven't seen a full printout of the exact deal. So there's, I think some things that are, some what I would call, uh, behind the scenes trades that are going on. Uh, one of which I just saw that America has agreed to train.

3:54 I, I guess they would be ca called Qatari fif, I think it was F 15 fighter pilots, um, as a part, as a part of this deal. The deal part, the, the, from what I can tell, from what I've read, the deal, Israel will release 1700 Goins who were captured and or arrested by the IDF after October 7th, but were not directly involved in the October 7th massacre. Israel will, in addition release 250 prisoners serving a life sentence. Why are they serving life sentences? Because they were tried and found to be found, uh, to be guilty of murder.

4:41 And Israel has no capital punishment, which means they have no death penalty. So those who murder Israelis and other people will sit in jail until they die, or until they're released in a hostage prisoner swap. By the way, that's what got Israel into this mess 15 years ago When Israel swapped out noir, uh, for the, for the release of Gila Shalit a uh, a hostage IDF soldier kept in Gaza. I can tell you what I can't tell you is I can't tell

5:28 you if the deal is good or not. What I can tell you is if they are truly returned, then all Israel will rejoice. It doesn't matter the cost us, it, it's quite fascinating. Jewish people value life and will trade anything to preserve life. And I'll tell you how much Hamas values life, even the life of their own people, the life of one Israeli is worth the life of about

6:16 150, a hundred of their own people. That's how they value or devalue their own people. You know, some people think about it, oh, we get more, more in re in, in, in, in return. No, it's, it's how much do you value a single life? So this, this deal is still very much in flux, though Israel is, um, negotiating what I would call in good faith and is abiding by the principles. And, and now we're waiting to see, by the way, this is the first time, I think I mentioned this last week. This is the first time that all of the Arab Muslim

7:04 governments have agreed. Can I just point out, if this would've happened 730 days ago, we would've had the release of all of the hostages for much less of cost. It just took some pressure from all of the governments who have been funding and propping up Hamas us. It took them to turn. So I, I don't know what the turning point was. Perhaps it was the fact that Israel, uh, took a little bit of an opportunity to attempt to, uh, take out Hamas leadership in Qatar. Perhaps that's what brought Qatar to the church.

7:50 Qatar, by the way, has been double dealing, double dipping this entire time. They're the negotiators, but they're also the funders of Hamas. Like how, how does that happen? You know, I don't even, it's ridiculous. Anyways, that's as much as time as I'm gonna spend on it. It does seem that by next week, Lord willing, uh, this will be a different report. So I, I look forward to that. We, as everyone is already known and

8:36 and pointed out today, we are in the middle of Sukkot. And so I've decided that I'm going to speak today from Psalm one, uh, not 1 15, 1 13. But before I get there, I want to share a few things about Sukkot, and then we'll come to one 13 in a few minutes. Um, I was, this week I was watching, uh, YouTube videos, and I, and I happened to be watching Sheila bin Hode in their Tabernacles Festival, um, concert, which they did in, in Jerusalem and Jerusalem area. And he, he opened it up with the same thing that I'm opening up with today. And I, and I was inspired by him, which is during sko,

9:23 we are commanded to rejoice commanding. It is one of those things like how do you, can you command somebody to rejoice? It's like commanding somebody to love, by the way, uh, I have, I have, uh, notes or, you know, something that you can doodle on, um, while you're not paying attention to me. If you, if you want, and just raise your hand and, and they'll pass it out to you. But, um, we are commanded to rejoice. It's kind of like commanding somebody to love. How can you command somebody to love? Well, ironically, that's what God does. Why? Because loving and rejoicing is first a choice.

10:11 It's a choice that we have to make. So during ko, we have to make a conscious choice to rejoice that that was not planned. Gotta make the choice to rejoice. But I'll tell you, 736 days ago on October 7th, we were here, I was right up here on the stage, and it was supposed to be the most joyful day of the whole calendar year. And, and you can think back and, and at that point, you may remember,

10:58 if you're new here, you may not. My dad was in Ashkelon Where I, right as I was about to start service, I had just heard reports that there were roving units of Palestinians that were going from door to door and, and murdering people in, in Ashcon, our elder, Dave and his wife Raquel, were in Jerusalem. And I, I think we had a couple other people there also. And here I am, there's, well, I think that day there must have been six or 10,000 rockets that went, were shot at Israel. And here we are in the diaspora and we're commanded to rejoice. And all I could think of was, oh, no.

11:43 And then by the end of service, it was even a worse, oh, no. Which has now propelled us to 736 days when we found out that there were 251 hostages taken in addition to the greater than 1200 that were murdered outright. And we were commanded to rejoice. And I'll tell you, that was the absolute most difficult service I've ever led in my life. Sukkot, as Marcus mentioned, uh oh, no, no, I think it was David mentioned Leviticus 23 kind of sets the full calendar, the Jewish calendar for us, but also the, there's also in Exodus through Deuteronomy.

12:29 There's every, the, the holidays are mentioned in every book apart from Genesis, and you get a little bit of a different picture in every one. But what I want to tell you is that in the Torah, there are three mitzvot that are connected or con, uh, concerning to Sukkot that are commanded to us. Number one, Marcus hit on it a minute ago, we're commanded to live in, in Sukkot or in a, in a, in a temporary dwelling place. Now, Ashkenazi Jews, what we like to do is have a meal in the ska. Otherwise, well, even with having a meal in the Suka, the mosquitoes still have a meal of us, the outdoors, you know, like are not necessarily kind

13:19 to Ashkenazi Jews. Um, so we, we don't necessarily live in the Suka, but this week, actually, uh, I think this might be my first time since I was a kid, I, my family and I, we went camping. And so we were actually camping for the first two or three nights of Sukkot. And, um, didn't get eaten too much, uh, did our fair share of eating. But, but we lived in a, in a temporary dwelling place. The second mitzvah that is commanded is to gather together the four species, as David had told us earlier. And third, as I've already mentioned, is to rejoice during this holiday. Soko brings to close the period of judgment,

14:06 which opened at Rosh Hashanah. Uh, about two weeks ago, Israel as a nation was judged on Yom Kippur. And the nations will be judged on, on Sukkot. As we see in Zechariah 14, all nations will come to worship the Lord and celebrate Sukkot. And if they don't, the Lord will judge them and not send rain. So the, the, the season of judgment ends with Sukkot. Yeshua also celebrated Sukkot. This, by the way, Sukkot is also traditionally just called the feast. Why? Because it's so important, it's so well known. It's just called the feast. And I mean, it probably didn't hurt that there were 70 bulls that were sacrificed. So you could have really a lot of brisket on, on Kott.

14:55 But, um, Yeshua comes to, to Jerusalem. And during Kot, there's this, during the second Temple era, there's a water, a water ceremony, and, and it, it's just like unreal thing. They take water from the pool of Siloam and they take it up to the temple, just buckets of water. And, and it's this whole ceremony. And just, I want you to picture this. They're, they're trucking all of these buckets of water up there. And Yeshua is watching the crowd, and Yeshua stands up and he says, if anyone is thirsty, he's looking at the water that's, that's coming. And it's, it is just overflowing in, in front of all of the people.

15:40 And Yeshua stands up and says, if anyone is thirsty, whoever believes in me, as the scripture says, out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living water. Yeshua takes the festival and, and, and gives a fuller meaning from within himself at that moment in John seven. So this is just a couple details about Sukkot. And now what I want you to know is we're gonna talk about Psalm one 13. Why Psalm one 13? Because Psalms one 13 through one 18 are called the Halal Psalms, and they're recited on Kot, on on Hanukkah, pe, and on Sha, these are Psalms that describe themes

16:28 that are essential articles, uh, of the Jewish faith. In other words, they provide the foundation of the Jewish faith. These themes are the exodus from Egypt, the splitting of the sea, the revelation of at Mount Sinai, the resurrection of the dead, and the coming Messiah. So Psalm one 13, In fact, I'm just gonna read through Psalm one 13, then we'll, we'll break it down a little bit. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Wow, you guys are asleep. Rocky, where are you? Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Praise those servants of Adonai. Praise the name of Adonai.

17:17 Blessed be the name of Adonai from now and forever. From the rising of the sun to it's going down. The name of Adonai is to be praised. Adonai is high above all nations. His glory is above the heavens. Who is like Adonai are God enthroned upon high, who brings himself down to look upon heaven and upon earth. He raises the poor from the dust, lifts up the needy outta the dung hill, to seat him with princes, with the princes of his people. He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

18:02 See, Rocky, I knew you were here somewhere. Hallelujah, Rocky. I can always count on being, uh, extra enthusiastic. It's too, That's right. Hallelujah. Here I'm going. We're gonna break this down by three verses at a time. The first three verses, I'm just gonna tell you, this is what I've called it. Praise is the name of the game. Praise the Lord, servants of the Lord. Praise the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord who will praise the name of the Lord. All nations will praise the name of the Lord from the Ri. Why? Oh wait, you should ask,

18:48 how do you get All nations will praise the name of the Lord because the text tells us from the rising of the sun, where does the sun rise in the East? By the way, we, while camping, this is a great time to, to teach your children all the things about the sun and directions and everything. The sun rises in the east. And where does this set? West? In the west. So when you go from the rising of the sun to the setting, it covers all of the nations in the earth from where it rises in the far east to where it sets in the far west. What does that mean? It means that all the nations receive the light of the sun, and therefore all nations are commanded to praise the name of the Lord.

19:33 Now, These psalms are often connected to Pesach, to not just the the festival, but to the actual exodus or the the God reaching in and pulling his people out, delivering them, saving them from bondage in Egypt. So let's, let's think about the exodus. Let's have the exodus in the back of our mind. And what is often forgotten is that God says, the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. That's part of his purpose for the exodus, is so that the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord. How? Well the rest of the verses, by the way, that's an Exodus seven, five. The rest of the verse says this, the Lord will stretch out his hand against them

20:20 and bring his people out from within their midst. Amen. By the way, lemme say this, when it says the Lord will stretch out his hand against them, it's not necessarily a good thing in life. I'm gonna tell you there are two different types of learners, those who can be taught and those who experience. Some of us only learn through experience, mostly men. Others of us are happy to learn from other people's issues and not to repeat them, Excuse me. In this case, Egypt has to learn

21:06 by experience versus by warning. This is how Egypt was to learn about who the Lord is. What's fascinating, it's the text tells us that all the nations from the east to the west, that the sun goes over, all of them will, will praise the name of the Lord, just like Egypt. Now, will it be because they've been taught to praise the name of the Lord? Or will it be because the Lord had to extend his hand against them and draw his people out from that nation? That's up to each nation. I, that's my opinion. It's up to each nation. Moving on verses four through six, Otai is high above all nations.

21:51 His glory is above the heavens. Who is like otai? Are God enthroned on high, who brings himself down to look upon heaven and upon earth? Okay? The Lord is high above us. That's pretty easy to understand. But even above the heaven leaves, and it's the heaven leaves. Uh, the, let me, let's go back two weeks. Rabbi Sean opened us up in this season with Psalm 1 48, and, and it in Rabbi Sean talked about how the heaven leaves, praise the Lord. It's hard for us to think about the stars, the moon, the sky, the everything, praising the name of the Lord. I'll tell you, when I was out camping, it's not so much in the, in the city. You get outta the city and you begin to see the vastness

22:40 of creation and really how insignificant you and I are. You look up and you and, and you see all of the stars at night, you, the, the moon would rise and it was the beautiful full moon, just boom, right in the middle of the sky and it lit up everything. And you didn't even have to have a flashlight at night. It was so bright. And, and you look up and you, and you see how vast it is. And you, some of you are scientific and you can tell me it's, you know, so many thousands of miles between here and the moon. And, and that's the closest heavenly body closest to us. And, and it's x number of light, years of travel to get to the next star. And every all of that, I look up

23:26 and I'm like, oh my goodness, it's so far and huge And God is above all of that. We don't even, you don't even begin to touch his realm. When you look at that, he's above all of the heavens, is what this psalm tells us. He's above it. These heavenly entities, they're doing what they were created to do. They're praising the name of the Lord. We can't even grasp the extent of our own galaxy. And the Lord is above that. And the next verse says, who is like our God? By the way, this should be familiar. It, it should sound really familiar to you.

24:14 Again, it connects back to the Exodus. Moses has a song that he, that he composes and sings. And in the middle of the song he says, who is like you? Adonai among the gods who is like you, glorious and holiness? Exodus 15, 11, awesome. And praises doing wonders. It's talking about how the Lord has chosen to bring Israel out from Egypt. And in that process, he has defeated all of Egypt's gods. And now the Lord will bring Israel into the land of Canaan and will defeat all of the gods of the Canaanites who is like you in the heavens.

25:00 In fact, it it, it's a piece that's traditionally done every, every Shabbat, but we we do it during the high holy days. Um, every, every high holy day service. So the question is Mika Mocha, who is like you in the heavenlies, there's an answer in there is none like you in the heavenly, there is none like our God. I don't know if you remember the song, we, you know, it's got a little, uh, yeah, that's my attempt at being a musician, mark. There's none like our God. There's none like our Lord. There is none like our deliverer. I missed one. None like our savior.

25:48 I still, there's none like our king. Yeah, our king. That's it. That's the other one. I was like, there's one I'm missing here. We there's none like him who is like our God. There's none our God, by the way, he is so high above us. You would think that our God would just sit there and not involve himself in our daily lives. And yet the Psalm tells us, our God brings himself down to engage us in our lives. He brings himself down to look upon the heavens and the earth. He cares enough that he wants to remain engaged, get this in our everyday life. The God who is above everything. When you go outside and you look at the clouds,

26:34 and you look at the trees, and you look at everything that you can see, and you look at night outside of the city and, and you see all the stars, and you see the moon and and everything, the our God who's above all of that is right here with you right now. Amen. It, it, he's he's at once out there and also here, he wants to be involved in your everyday life if you let him. This is the challenging and exciting aspect of God's relationship to man as we act toward God. So does he react to us? If we ignore his presence, he withdraws high above the heavens.

27:23 But if we welcome his proximity, he lovingly involves himself in every phase of our lives. But the the choice is yours. The choice is ours. Do we want him involved in our lives or not? Another way to view this, he brings himself down, is it could also be translated. He, he brought himself down. He, he lowered himself, if you will, which begins to sound to me like Yeshua from, from both Philippians chapter two and John chapter one, Yeshua humbled himself or brought himself down to earth, took on flesh or mortality as, as Marcus was mentioning, in, in, um,

28:11 in John chapter one, took on flesh and tabernacle among us. Yeshua brings himself down into our, into our existence. The, this text, Psalm one 13, could be hinting to the future when Yeshua would come down from the heavens and put on flesh and dwell among his people. And fact, here's the, here's the fascinating thing. The next three verses are spent describing Yeshua's mission. The next three verses say this, he raises the poor from the dust. He lifts the needy out of the dunghill to seed him with princes, with the princes of his people. He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of the of children.

28:57 The literal interpretation of this text is this, the Lord desires all people, especially those who are marginalized in society. So he raises up the poor, he lifts the needy out of the dong hill, and he settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother of children. That's the literal, literal reading. And you should never depart from the literal, literal reading. If, if, if you come to a, an evaluation of a text or an interpretation of a text that departs from the literal, I'm gonna tell you, you've departed from what, what is possible within the text. Now, this doesn't depart from the literal, it enhances, The text may be hinting. We're gonna go, we're gonna go three levels here. The text may be hinting that Israel will,

29:45 will hold a, a position that Israel will hold in exile. So in exile, the Jewish people are always marginalized. They're often the poor and the needy. What you witness of Jewish people, by the way, in America, and it's really only a small percentage of Jewish people who happen to be loud. Um, it, the success, the the, we can do, we can be at the top of any, any position. That's a very rare moment that we've had twice. Once was in the thirties in Germany, and the other is now, those are the only two times in exile that the Jewish people have ever been permitted to rise to prominence.

30:31 It obviously didn't work well the first time. So anyways, the Jewish people are often the poor, the needy Zion and Jerusalem are like a barren woman. When the Jewish people are in exile, there's no children for her there, they're empty. Zion and Jerusalem are empty. And they were for such a long time because the Jewish people have been in exile In the future, Zion and Jerusalem will be teaming with inhabitants, and the celebration in the city will resemble a joyful homecoming. As Isaiah 66 8 foretells for Zion has gone through travail and she has given birth to her sons. And what's understood is those

31:17 who will return from the four corners of the earth. What's fascinating is we are in the midst of that scripture now, And what's even more amazing this week, Zion will rejoice when her sons are returned. So this text could be talking about the, the literal interpretation I gave you a minute ago, or it could be talking about this symbolic interpretation of Israel being in exile. And let me give you one more story, which I find so fascinating. Rob Eliezer Nachman Puah illustrates this verse

32:03 with the following tale. When Sultan Suleman ruled over Palestine, by the way, Palestine, I, I used this, um, I chose to use this term on purpose. Palestine was the designation of the name of the land from about 1 35 until May 14th, 1948. Because at that point, Israel declared the homeland of the Jewish people to be named Israel. And in that interim period, it was called Palestine. Guess what? Jewish people in the land were called? Palestinians. Palestinians. What an amazing thing.

32:48 The Palestinian Jewish people who lived there for a long time. Anyways, I'm getting off track. When Saltan Suleman ruled over Palestine in the 16th century, he sought the remains of the holy temple, which had long since vanished. The excavator charged with this task looked all over the holy city without success until one day he noticed an old lady carrying a basket full of dung and Petri refuse, which she deliberately dumped in a certain spot. Upon his inquiry, she told the excavator that she had come all the way from Bethlehem Bethlehem's, not a short walk, by the way. It's a little bit of a longer walk. And is your in hills incredulous?

33:33 The excavator asked, are there no garbage dumpings dumps in Bethlehem that you must haul your refuse all the way to Jerusalem? And the old woman replied, our priest claims that this spot is where the temple of the Jews once stood, and that whoever shows contempt for it and covers it with additional waste earns tremendous merit. By the way, not to, I don't want to give too much commentary here, but the priest is a Christian priest who's instructed her this, and the Sultan is a Muslim sultan. So it, it seems now that the roles have reversed in the last 400 years, the excavator relayed this informa, this information to Sultan Suleman who then scattered thousands

34:20 of coins in the area. Afterwards, the sultan invited the populace of the city to dig there in search for these precious coins, while sifting through the waste to find the coins. The people cleared away tons of refuse until the western wall and other remnants of the holy temple were revealed. Then the sultan had the area thoroughly cleared, and he sprinkled, sprinkled, fragrant rose water over the area to destroy the foul stench of the refuse. This is the symbolism of this verse, because our holiest place became a dunghill. It was in desperate need of salvation, therefore God caused it to be discovered and cleansed of its filth and shame.

35:09 Isn't that fascinating story? Okay, we've covered the literal meaning. We've covered, there's a symbolic meaning about the people of Israel. It could, the text could even be pointing to the direct fulfillment through the ministry of Yeshua. Yeshua came 2000 years ago and attended to the poor. I, I I could, I could point out numerous examples. I've chosen only to point out one or two for each of these. He healed the blind beggar in Luke 18. Yeshua lifted up the needy. He healed 10 lepers in Luke 17, and they were able to reenter into society. Can I tell you what's a difficult Google search?

35:55 Did Yeshua heal a barren woman? 'cause I, I, I couldn't think of one. But then this is what came to me. This is what I, I started thinking Yeshua healed a woman and Luke 13 who had been bent over and was crippled for 18 years. In all likelihood, she couldn't have a child during that time period, but he healed her. So she at least became able to have a child. She straightened up in her reaction, she praised the Lord. Second this one. You all know Yeshua healed the woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years. You literally cannot have children

36:44 if you have a continuous discharge. So Yeshua healed her and the text tells us in a Luke eight, she was immediately healed. Now, the text doesn't tell us that she goes on to become a mother, but these are two instances of Yeshua healing women of issues that kept them from becoming mothers and made them at least able to become a mother. Could the fulfillment be in Yeshua's work? So what does this, what does this text mean for us today? It was funny. I I, I told someone ahead of the service. I was like, I'm either gonna go for an hour or I'm gonna go for about 20 minutes. So I don't know. I think I'm in between that, but I'm still not done.

37:33 This is what I want you to take away from this text. First, rejoice, praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Whether you are experiencing the rising of the sun or the setting of the same, Rejoice. Now you should say, wait a second. We talked about the rising of the sun in the setting and it, and it covering the expanse of the nations. Yes, but there's also some symbolism here. The sun rises. And when the sun rises, we have an inordinate amount of hope and we have positive expectations. When I would wake up in the morning while we were camping and, and the the light would begin to, to glimmer on the, on the horizon, you just, just begin to be able

38:20 to see things outside. I mean, you could see it with the moonlight, but you know what I mean. When you begin to be able to see, you're like, ah, it's almost daytime. What, what can we do today? Well, we can go swimming, we can go boating, we can go fishing. We can, we can do all of these things. We can go hiking. We we're, we're gonna have this for lunch. We're gonna have this for breakfast. We're gonna have this for dinner. If you're like me, you live life by meals. Um, we're you, you have all of this hope and expectation for the day when the sun sets, you're like, oh, ah, there's no meals tonight. I gotta go to sleep. But there's things, by the way, at night, things get creepy outside.

39:05 It's dark The first night my kids are like, the crickets are too loud. We can't sleep. The crickets are too loud. I was like, y'all, the crickets are not too loud. They're, it's just fantastic. The second night they went straight to sleep. They didn't even notice the, the crickets. And, and I woke, they woke up the next morning and I said, y'all was it, were the crickets quieter last night? They said, I think they were. And I said, no, you just were tired. But this rising of the sun carries an more inordinate amount of hope. Sunrise symbolizes good times, and the setting sun symbolizes a decline. The day is declining. Our lives are in decline, that sort of thing.

39:53 Whether you are in the rising of the sun or with the hope in your life or in decline, we are called to do the same thing, which is rejoice and praise the Lord. I could, I I could. Coming back to this verse, and, and I think it's been months now, but in Philippians chapter four, Paul writes, rejoice in the Lord always. Again, I will say rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to all people the Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and petition with thanksgiving. Let your requests be made known to God

40:38 and the shalom of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Messiah, Yeshua. But all of that starts with rejoice Again. It's a choice. It's not a feeling. Secondly, the Lord wants to work in your everyday life. He may dwell up there, but he wants to be here with you today. When will you turn to him? Yeshua has even come down to earth, humbled himself and made himself like one of us. And by the way, he will come back again.
