"NO WAY THEY KEEP THIS UP FOR 700 YEARS!
(The object that gave healing started to kill them spiritually.)

Numbers 21:4-9. The Israelites are complaining (again), and God sends venomous
snakes among them. Many are bitten and die. The people repent and beg Moses to
intercede.

God's solution is bizarre: ""Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten
can look at it and live.""

So Moses makes a bronze serpent, puts it on a pole, and everyone who looks at it is
healed. It's a miracle. It's a picture of faith—looking to God's provision for salvation.
Jesus even references it in John 3:14-15: ""Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the
wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have
eternal life in him.""

Beautiful, right? The bronze serpent is a prophetic picture of Christ on the cross. Look
and live. Believe and be saved. But here's what we don't talk about: that bronze serpent became one of Israel's most enduring idols.

2 Kings 18:4 records that King Hezekiah, during his reforms, ""broke into pieces the
bronze snake Moses had made, for up to that time the Israelites had been burning
incense to it. (It was called Nehushtan.)

Read that again. The Israelites had been burning incense to it. They were worshiping
the bronze serpent. For 700 years, from Moses to Hezekiah, this object
that God had used for healing had become an object of idolatry.

They even gave it a name: Nehushtan, which is a play on words in Hebrew—it means
both ""bronze thing"" and ""serpent thing."" Hezekiah's destruction of it was a deliberate act
of desacralization. He was saying, ""This is just a piece of bronze. Stop worshiping it.""
How did this happen? How did something God commanded become something God
condemned?

Humans have an incurable tendency to worship the gift instead of the Giver.
We turn blessings into idols. We turn tools into gods. We turn symbols into objects of
devotion. The bronze serpent was never meant to be kept. It was a one-time provision for a
specific crisis. But the Israelites preserved it as a reminder of God's mercy. And over time, that reminder became a replacement for God himself."

🎺🎺The Biblical FEAST OF TRUMPETS is coming!!🎺🎺

✨If we believe that THE FATHER IS THE SAME today, tomorrow, and that He does not change, why would HIS COMMANDS to keep and remember His Biblical Appointed Times change?✨

👉🏾Hebrews 13:8
Yeshua Messiah is the same yesterday, and today, and forever.

👉🏾Malachi 3:6
"For I am Adonai, I shall not change"

✨The 7 Appointed Times (6 Biblical Feasts and Day of Atonement) are Biblical as they are ORDAINED and COMMANDED by our Creator. If we are indeed grafted in as His chosen, SET-APART People, we should then obey His commands as laid out in Scripture.

✨The Biblical Feasts, while certainly observed by the Jewish people, are not Jewish. The Feasts were given to the people of Israel of whom Christians believe we are grafted into if we are the adopted sons and daughters of the Most High.

👉🏾Ephesians 1:5
Having previously ordained us to adoption as sons through Yeshua Messiah to Himself

👉🏾Romans 11:17
And you, being a wild olive tree, have been grafted in among them

In fact, the Biblical Feasts are all connected and tell the story of our history, our present, and our future as followers of The Way!

🍂In the Spring, the Father COMMANDS us to REMEMBER the Passover, which points to Messiah's SACRIFICE.

🍂We are to observe the Festival of Matzot (Feast of Unleavened Bread) for 7 days which points to Messiah's BURIAL and our SANCTIFICATION.

🍂As we celebrate Bikkurim (First Fruits), we celebrate Messiah's RESURRECTION.

🍂Fifty days later we are to observe Shavuot (Pentecost) and rejoice in the GIVING of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy SPIRIT).

🍂In the Fall, the Father COMMANDS us to REMEMBER Yom Teruah (the day of the sounding of the shofar) which points to the TRIUMPHANT RETURN of Messiah.

🍂Ten days later we observe the most holy day of Yom Kippur (the day of Atonement) in which we TESHUVAH (return) to our first love, our Heavenly Father, as we REPENT and seek His Face.

🍂And finally, we are to celebrate Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) and that the Father TABERNACLED among us in the wilderness, sent His Son to tabernacle among us as Messiah, and will one day tabernacle with us again as His bride!

✨The Biblical Feasts were given to us as the Creator's Set-Apart People. We should OBEY Him with all our hearts and minds and stand in awe at the intentionality and beauty represented in each Appointed Time!✨

Romans 10:4
"For Messiah is the goal of the Torah as a means to righteousness for everyone who keeps trusting."

Torah points to Messiah and the Messiah points to the Torah.

🤝 Si Moses ay May Aaron at Hur, Ikaw? Sino ang Aaron at Hur mo?

Hindi lahat ng tagumpay ay dahil sa lakas ng isang tao. Minsan, ito ay dahil may mga taong kusang sumusuporta satin kapag tayo bilang mga pastor ay napapagod.

📖 Text: Exodo 17:8–13

Habang nakikipaglaban ang Israel sa mga Amalekita, iniutos ni Moises kay Josue na pangunahan ang labanan. Samantalang nasa tuktok ng burol si Moises na hawak ang tungkod ng Diyos. Habang nakataas ang kanyang mga kamay, nananalo ang Israel. Ngunit nang mangalay siya at bumaba ang kanyang mga kamay, lumalamang ang Amalek.

Ano ang ginawa nina Aaron at Hur?

Hindi nila sinabihan si Moises ng:
"Kaya mo na 'yan."

Hindi rin nila sinabi:
"Problema mo na 'yan."

Sa halip, kumuha sila ng bato upang upuan ni Moises, at sinuportahan nila ang kanyang mga kamay hanggang sa paglubog ng araw. (Exodo 17:12)

Dahil doon, nagtagumpay ang Israel.

Ano ang aral na mapulot natin dito?

Maraming tao ang nakikita lamang ang pastor kapag siya ay nangangaral sa entablado.

Ngunit kakaunti ang nakakakita ng:

😭 mga gabing kulang sa tulog dahil sa pagdarasal,
😭 bigat ng pagpapastol sa iba't ibang tao,
😭 personal na laban,
😭 pagod sa ministry,
😭 emosyonal at espirituwal na pagkapagod.

Kahit ang isang dakilang lingkod ng Diyos tulad ni Moises ay nangailangan ng Aaron at Hur.

Kung si Moises ay napagod... Lalo na ang mga pastor ngayon.

🏠 Let me share some real-life situation

Halimbawa...
Napansin mong ang pastor ninyo ay halos linggo-linggo ang pangangaral.

Siya rin ang:
Sya pa rin tumutugtog... (sa mga nagsisimula)
nagvi-visit sa may sakit,
nagco-counsel,
nag-aasikaso ng church concerns,
nagtatrabaho pa upang suportahan ang pamilya na minsan mas nauuna pa asikasuhin ang pamilya ng iba (pero dapat balansehin din ito).

Minsan, tahimik lang siyang nakaupo pagkatapos ng service.

Hindi siya humihingi ng tulong.

Pero maaaring pagod na siya.

PAANO AKO MAGIGING AARON AT HUR?

Maaaring ang pagiging "Aaron at Hur" ay simpleng:
✅ "Pastor, kami na po ang magliligpit."
✅ "Pastor, ipagpe-pray namin kayo."
✅ "Pastor, kami na muna ang bahala rito."
✅ "Pastor, kumusta na po kayo?"
✅ "Pastor, may dala kaming pagkain."
✅ "Pastor, mag-vovolunteer kami na maging part dito sa ministry."
✅ "Pastor, ako muna mag-share sa bible study mamaya para naka-focus ka sa sermon ni sa Linggo."

Subukan natin na...
✅ Magbigay ng encouragement.
✅ Kung ilalagay ng Panginoon sa puso mo, maaari ring tumulong sa pinansyal na paraan bilang kusang pag-ibig. (Di yung napipilitan lamang).

Minsan, hindi kailangan ng pastor ng maraming tao. Di rin nya kailangan ng maraming advice...

May mga times na... kailangan lang niya ng isang Aaron... at isang Hur na kaya humawak ng ibang responsibilidad sa church or willing magpa-Train para hindi lahat bigay ay sa pastor nakabalikat.

⚖️ Mahalagang Paalala

Ang mensaheng ito ay hindi panawagan upang pilitin ang sinuman na magbigay o tumulong.

Hindi po ito obligasyon.

Hindi po ito sapilitan.

Hindi po ito sukatan ng pagiging espirituwal.

Ang isa sa mga batayan ng tunay na suporta ay nagmumula sa pusong kusang-loob na ginagabayan ng Panginoon.

"Magbigay ang bawat isa ayon sa ipinasya ng kanyang puso, hindi mabigat sa loob o napipilitan; sapagkat iniibig ng Diyos ang nagbibigay na masaya." (2 Corinto 9:7)

Di lang naman ito patungkol sa pinansyal, ito ay pagbabahagi din ng oras at talento para sa Kaharian ng Diyos.

Kung hindi ka inaakay ng Panginoon or walang leading ng Holy Spirit, huwag kang kumilos na tila baga ika'y napipilitan lamang. Ngunit kung May udyok sayo ang Diyos, wag ka magmatigas dahil isang malaking pagpapala ang maglingkod sa Panginoon sa pamamagitan ng paglilingkod sa lingkod ng Panginoon. Uulitin ko, Ito ay hindi paglilingkod para sa tao, ito ay ang paglilingkod sa Panginoon.

Ngunit kung Siya ang kumikilos sa puso mo, huwag mo ring pigilan ang Kanyang ginagawa.

❤️ Ng hamon ko sa bawat isa

Kanino ka maaaring maging Aaron at Hur ngayon kung saan man ikaw naroon?

Tahanan, opisina, eskwela, sa komunidad man o sa Iglesia.

Kaya ang mensaheng ito ay hindi lamang sa pastor, kundi maging sa asawa, magulang, kaibigan, ministry leader, missionary, o sinumang napapagod sa paglilingkod.

Minsan, ang isang taong tahimik na sumusuporta sa mga taong nanghihina ay ang ginagamit ng Diyos upang maipanalo ang isang napakalaking labanan sa mundong ito.

Ang katagumpayan ay tanging sa biyaya at para sa kaluwalhatian ng Diyos lamang.

Ikaw naman...

Sino ang mga taong ginamit ng Diyos upang suportahan ka noong mahina ka, pagod ka, o gusto mo nang sumuko?

💬 Mention their names below upang maiparamdam ang iyong pasasalamat.
O kung nais mong manatiling pribado,

📲 Share this post without mentioning their names bilang simpleng pagpupugay sa mga "Aaron at Hur" na ipinadala ng Diyos sa buhay mo.

"A thankful heart never forgets those whom God used to strengthen it." ❤️



Soli Deo Gloria

Did Paul reject the Torah? According to his own words, he did not.

Paul declared that faith does not nullify the Torah but rather establishes it (Rom. 3:31).

He taught that the Torah reveals what sin is (Rom. 7:7) and warned believers against persisting in sin (Rom. 6:1–2).

He called the Torah “holy and righteous and good” and said he “delights” in it (Rom. 7:12, 22), echoing the Psalms (Ps. 19:7–14; 119:77, 92, 174).

He explained that the flesh resists submitting to the Torah (Rom. 8:7), but those who walk according to the Spirit are empowered to fulfill the Torah’s righteous requirements (Rom. 8:4), in accordance with the promises of the Hebrew Prophets (Jer. 31:33; Ezek. 36:27).

Paul similarly instructed believers to “fulfill the law” through love (Rom. 13:8, 10), citing Leviticus 19:18—“love your neighbor as yourself”—and four of the Ten Commandments and “any other commandment” (Rom. 13:9).

These statements are the opposite of what we would expect from someone who believed that the Messiah had rendered the Torah irrelevant to believers.

But what about Paul’s earliest interpreters? Did they believe he rejected the Torah? Some apparently did. But there are also some very prominent voices who did not, and their testimony has been canonized in the New Testament.

For instance, Luke goes to great lengths in Acts to depict Paul as living “in observance of the law” (Acts 21:24; cf. 24:14–17; 25:8; 28:17). He even depicts Paul as participating in temple rituals for the purpose of debunking a rumor that he taught Jewish believers to forsake the Torah (Acts 21:22–26).

Peter is another of Paul’s earliest interpreters, and he warned that ignorant and unstable people were misinterpreting Paul’s letters. Peter specifically connects this mishandling of Paul’s letters to “the error of lawless people” (2 Peter 3:15–16). In other words, he warned that those who reject the Law twist Paul’s letters to support their false teachings. According to Peter, using Paul’s letters to support antinomianism is a distortion of Paul’s message.

To be sure, Paul makes seemingly negative statements about the Torah in some of his letters. However, I do not believe that Paul was schizophrenic or a hypocrite. I do not believe that Luke and Peter misunderstood or misrepresented him.

One way that many of these seemingly negative statements could be harmonized with Paul’s positive statements is to recognize that his criticism is directed toward a misuse of the Torah, not the Torah itself. Daniel Block provides a good summary:

“[Paul’s] statements must be interpreted both in the light of Moses and in the context of particular arguments. In both Romans and Galatians Paul was responding to those who insist that salvation comes by the works of the law, as represented by circumcision. To those who represent this view he replies that if one looks to the law as a way of salvation, it will lead to death. On the other hand, if one looks to the law as a guide for those already saved, it yields life (cf. Gal 5:13-25). On this matter Moses and Paul are in perfect agreement” (The Gospel according to Moses, pp. 131–132).

So again, did Paul reject the Torah? According to his own words and the testimony of Luke and Peter, he did not. However, very early on, there were people who said that he did (Acts 21:21; 2 Pet. 3:15–17), and this rumor persists today despite Paul himself explicitly denying it (Acts 21:24; 24:14–17; 25:8; 28:17).
