But how was it possible for otherwise devoutly religious people to miss the advent of the Messiah were it not because they disregarded the signals meant to awaken them? \u201cSo also, when you see all these things, you know that he is near, at the very gates\u201d (Matt. 24:33). That\u2019s part of the message of teshuvah as well: Repent and believe the message of life (see Heb. 3:7-4:11). Esau \u201crepented\u201d with tears, but his wasn\u2019t true repentance since he did not turn his heart to embrace the truth of God\u2019s love&#8230; True repentance leads to healing and life. When the woman from Magdala wept and washed Yeshua\u2019s feet with her tears, he said to those present, \u201cI tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven &#8212; for she loved much\u201d (Luke 7:44-48). In other words, she was lavish in her love because she deeply regretted that she had missed what was most important, what she desperately needed all along&#8230; She saw her sin as blindness to God&#8217;s love&#8230; After all, why would she weep over her sins unless she loved him? And how could she love him unless he first revealed his love to her? (1 John 4:19). Friends, the Kingdom of God is at hand: wake up and be ready for the advent of the King! The sound of the shofar reminds us that the great Day of the LORD is drawing near and soon we will see our King Yeshua.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2435\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/prov1-23-analysis.gif?resize=587%2C507&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"587\" height=\"507\" \/><\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-2433-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/prov1-23-jjp.mp3?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/prov1-23-jjp.mp3\">https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/training\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/prov1-23-jjp.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/hebrew4christians.com\/Blessings\/Blessing_Cards\/prov1-23-lesson.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Proverbs 1:23 Hebrew Lesson Card<\/strong><\/a> (pdf)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We must ready our hearts for the time of the Lord&#8217;s coming, for the hour draws near&#8230; Yeshua lamented over Israel: \u201cYou did not recognize the time of your visitation&#8230;&#8221; (Luke 19:44).
