“He holds the World in the Palm of His Hand”
Proverbs 3:5-6 – “Trust in the Adonai with all your heart; and do not depend upon your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
It seems at times as though we are on cloud nine, and nothing will ever affect us adversely again. Sometimes we are walking through the “valley of the shadow of death” and it appears that saving us from these awful circumstances will never happen.
How do you “trust in the L-rd” when it appears that all the trends are going against you? How do you acknowledge the G-d is walking beside you every step of the way, when your life is in a dense fog? This is what emuna is all about.
Are you scanning the geo-political, economical and literal landscape of our globe realizing that something is going dreadfully wrong? All the brilliant pundits of economic and political wisdom are standing aghast, unable to give us a clue of wisdom on how to save the world. They appear to cling to helpless and visionary imagery of a world that is slipping away into the dense fog, only to realize that there went a world that has already disappeared. What you were witnessing was but a mirage of an image of the final moments of remembrance. The “has been” is gone, and the “will be” is still in the future.
Emuna is having absolute faith in the Sovereignty of G-d, that what He has stated through the prophets will come to a true reality. Emuna is the “faith” that is beyond all comprehension, that G-d is capable of doing what He said He will do. Emuna is the absolute faith that He, the Creator of the Universe will guide you down the merging streams of prophecy that are colliding into a great prophetic vortex of your future destiny. Suddenly when you begin to perceive that life is out of control, only then will you feel a certain peace for the G-d of Israel is in control.
Keep your Eyes focused Far into the Distance
The facts are that this age called the “time of the end” should be an era of great happiness and joy. You may not like or appreciate the physical events, the catastrophes of “biblical importance” that are swirling around your life. You may be in absolute terror on what may happen in 2012. Yet, have you stopped to remember that G-d is in control of Planet Earth and He is in control of your life?
When our forefathers, the citizens of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel were standing alongside the Jews of the House of Judah surrounding the mount called Sinai, together they listened to the commands of G-d from the top of the Mount. And then they proclaimed in unison; “‘Na’aseh Venishma’ – we will do and then we will understand”.
This is a truism of Jewish and Israelite life today; if you don’t understand the Torah commands fully, just “do them”. Only then will you begin to fully comprehend how perfectly understandable the divine commands were all along within your life. You will say, “Wow, this is great! I fully understand it!”
But there is a problem! You must be willing to follow the “will of G-d”. You cannot “lean upon your own understanding”. Your mind may be acutely aware of what is coming in your future, but you must wait for the “Great I Am” to guide you to your next step.
You must keep looking straight, to the farthest horizon ahead of you. Instead of wallowing inside your own body and soul, why don’t you just put your mind as far into your future as you can? Then it is important to remember that G-d is in control of your life. He is guiding and directing your life. He has you exactly where He wants you to be. And then He will open your next door.

It is a promise by the G-d of Israel, that the Lost Ten Tribes of the House of Israel will be redeemed and restored back to the land of their forefathers. Maybe the next “door” that you must open must be to learn and comprehend more about the Return of the 10 Tribes of Israel to their Homeland in Shomron (Samaria), Israel. If it is, we invite you to Contact “Kol Ha Tor”, the Voice of the Turtledove.
Here is a joint Orthodox Jewish and 10-Triber Mission to bring awareness of the imminent fulfillment of the Biblical Prophecies regarding the Redemption of all Israel (12 Tribes Re-conciled and Re-United). This super Event of all Times will entail Establishing the Shomron (the Ancient Bible Heartland of the Patriarchs) and the Judean Wilderness as part of the Land of Israel. In that day, they will be preparing the “Land” for the Return of the Lost Tribes of the House of Israel and then the Redemption of All Israel.
For inquiries about Kol Ha Tor Ministries for the Lost Tribes of Israel, Visit – “Shomron Lives!”, a Spiritual Retreat and Guest House in Samaria, that hosts Shomron (Samaria) Tours to reacquaint the Returning Lost Tribers of the House of Israel.
