\u201cIf I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I descend to the depths, behold, you are there too\u201d (Psalm 139:8). The sages note the use of the adverbs \u201cthere\u201d and \u201chere\u201d in this verse, saying that when a person feels like he has ascended to great heights, the LORD will be \u201cthere\u201d (\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05dd), that is, distant from him, but when he is humble and low, the LORD will be \u201chere\u201d (\u05d4\u05b4\u05e0\u05bc\u05b5\u05d4), that is, right at his side (Isa. 57:15). This is the “upside-down” way of beholding the Kingdom of Heaven. Can a camel go through the eye of a needle? No more than a \u2018rich man\u2019 can find life through his own ventures (Matt. 19:23-24). The only way to enter life is to disown your riches (i.e., your self-sufficiency) by becoming \u201cimpoverished in spirit.\u201d This is the narrow way that leads to life (Matt. 7:14). You have to let go of the “baggage” of your worldly ego… Yeshua teaches that only by emptying ourselves can we be made full; only by mourning ourselves can we find comfort, and only by hungering and thirsting for God’s righteousness can we find inner satisfaction…<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/psalm139-8-analysis.gif?resize=553%2C474&ssl=1\")
