A Christian is a free lord of all and subject to no one. A Christian is a ministering servant of all and subject to everyone. (SL 19, 988) A Liberty of the Soul of Man. We are not dealing with political liberty but with a different one— one which the devil intensely hates and opposes. It is “the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free,” not from some human servitude of Babylonian or Turkish captivity but from eternal wrath. Where? In the conscience. There our liberty stays. It does not go any further; for Christ did not free us in the political and in the carnal sense but in the theological or spiritual sense, that is, He has so freed us that our conscience is free and glad because it does not fear the wrath that is to come. This is real and inestimable liberty, in comparison with the greatness and majesty of which the others (political and carnal) scarcely are one drop or speck. For who can tell how great a matter it is for anyone to be sure that God is not angry or will never be angry, but that to eternity He will be a gracious and kind Father for Christ’s sake? The fact that we enjoy the favour, protection, and help of the Supreme Majesty and that He will finally so free us also corporeally that our body, which is sowed in corruption, in shame and in weakness, will rise again in incorruption, in glory and power— this fact is certainly a great and incomprehensible liberty. (SL 9, 603) The Sin of Restricting. This liberty, friend, do not consider it a trifle to forbid what God does not forbid, to destroy the Christian liberty that cost Christ His blood, to burden consciences with sin where there is no sin. He who has the audacity to do this will also be audacious enough to commit any wrong yea, he has thereby already renounced all that God is, teaches, and does, including His Christ. (SL 20, 207) The Gospel Liberates Man for Loving Service. We must distinguish between the Christian life lived in faith and that lived in love. Faith is queen over all laws: the Christian means to be justified Page 66 Vol LIV, November – December 2019, No 6 through grace alone, and so he is free from all laws…But in the other area (that of love) the Christian is subject to all laws, bears the Law and the burdens of the Law according to the old man, seeks to serve and to promote the good of his neighbour. Here Romans 13 applies. (W 26, 17) Acknowledgment: From What Luther Says , Book 2, Nos 2409, 2410, 2412, 2421, 1986 Copyright Concordia Publishing House.

Devotion Matthew 21:1–11 Part 2 Christ’s entry into Jerusalem (Continued from September – October 2019 edition) The prophecy fulfilled: (v4-5) All this was done The point is: Jesus was consciously fulfilling that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by prophecy that He would come as King.

Immorality, stealing, drunkenness, indecent living, gambling, idol worship and homosexuality were widespread and unchecked (1 Cor 6:9–10). Paul appealed to them that by grace through faith in Christ they belonged to Christ and are called “the temple of the living God” (2 Cor 6:16). As a result God says: “I will dwell in them and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people” (2 Cor 6:16). How then could they even think of being joined closely and intimately as with a yoke to unbelievers in common worldly activities! The Greek is so strong here that Paul tells those who are doing this to STOP it. For blood-bought redeemed Children of God it is absolutely monstrous and abhorrent that they pollute themselves with the poisonous, vile filth of the sinful world and endanger their faith! Paul also refers to the Church Law of the Old Testament (Deut 22:10) which forbade the yoking of an ox and a donkey, a clean and an unclean animal, together to a plough.

New development activities are underway or planned for implementation in the near future. The forecasted future sea-level rise (already apparently detected in the last decade in the Eastern Mediterranean) and storm statistics change due to global warming, as well as future diminishing of longshore sand transport in the Nile cell, add to the increased sensitivity of coastal development in this region. This paper presents a review of the various projects underway or due to be implemented in the next few years, discusses in an integrated manner the outcome of various field and model studies on the sedimentological impacts of these developments, and presents a series of re- medial

  • A Review of Sea Level Monitoring Status in Israel
    Page 1 A REVIEW OF SEA LEVEL MONITORING STATUS IN ISRAEL Dov S. Rosen Israel Oceanographic & Limnological Research, Tel Shikmona, Haifa 31080, Israel Introduction Sea-levels have been measured since the early 1920’s at Jaffa fishing port, but these data are not available, except for some data found at the PSMSL in UK during the 1950’s. New sea-levels were gathered at Ashdod and Haifa ports, and since 1992 at Hadera. Recently sea-level is being recorded also in Tel-Aviv, inside the Gordon marina, and at Ashkelon marina. The information presented in this report was derived using historic sea-level data gathered originally by PRA and archived at the Permanent Service for Mean Sea-Level (PSMSL) in UK. Additional sea-level data were gathered in the recent years by IOLR for PRA in Haifa. Correlation between simultaneous data gathered at Haifa and Ashdod in the past, and between Haifa and Hadera in the recent years allowed determining the relationship between long-term elevations at Haifa, Hadera and Ashdod. Recent History of Sea-Level Monitoring on the Mediterranean Coast of Israel Sea-level has been monitored in Israel during the British mandate in Jaffa harbour, in Haifa port and in Eilat. The measurements were performed using a float-type mechanical mareograph (sea-level recorder as in fact it measures the total sea-level due to astronomic tide as well as other parameters (temperature, atmospheric pressure, wind surge, wave induced set-up, etc.). However, the records of sea-level data gathered during the period prior to the establishment of the State of Israel are not available and have probably been lost forever.

  • Has Tekhelet Been Found?
    165 Has Tekhelet been Found? By: MENACHEM EPSTEIN While thousands of Jews around the world have recently begun adding what they are convinced is tekhelet to their ziẓ iṭ , a recent article published in Flatbush and distributed throughout America (Halacha Berurah vol. 9, issue 2, “The Search for Techeiles”°) claims that no one “has presented any concrete proof that the murex techeiles is genuine,” and “that there are clear indicators that neither the chilazon nor techeiles have any connection to the murex techeiles.” In this article, the author demonstrates why these statements are entirely baseless. The possibility of the murex snail being the hillazoṇ of tekhelet has been under consideration for a considerable amount of time. Until recently almost all rabbis rejected this possibility out of hand simply because the dye of the murex is purple. From our tradition we know without a doubt that tekhelet is blue.1 In 1983 a startling discovery was ° Halacha Berurah is published by Tzeirei Agudas Yisroel. Following the title of the referenced article it states, “Reviewed by Horav Shlomo Miller,” and at the end of the article it states, “Halacha Berurah is deeply grateful to Dr. Mendel Singer PhD, School of Medicine, Cleveland, Ohio and Dr. Yoel (Jonathan) Ostroff, Department of Computer Sci- ence and Engineering, York University, Toronto, Canada for reviewing this article.” 1 Rav Herzog in his doctoral thesis written in 1913 suggested that the murex would be the most likely candidate, if not for the fact that it produced a purple dye. This manuscript was later edited and published as “The Royal Purple and the Biblical Blue” by Keter 1987.

We ana- lyzed modes of dispersal and population genetic structures for 11 populations of B. schlosseri along the Scandinavian coasts, using 5 microsatellite loci. The analysis revealed high poly - morphism, resulting in 108 different alleles (of which 58 were private alleles), positive correlations between the number of sites shared by specific alleles and their mean frequencies, and lower genetic diversity values than in previously studied worldwide populations. A complex network of gene flow among sampled populations was revealed, with 2 clades, southeastern and northwest- ern, and higher genetic variation in the latter clade due to either restricted gene flow or more intensive genetic drift. A detailed analysis of allele frequencies revealed possible ancestral alleles. By using Bayesian analysis, 9 previously studied populations from Britain and European Atlantic coasts were compared, encompassing a single geographical entity along thousands of kilometers from Gibraltar (36° 8’ N) to Ålesund, Norway (62° 29’ N).

Navon 5 The Mitzvah: Tzitzit with Tekhelet And God spoke to Moshe saying: Speak to the children of Israel and bid them that they make for themselves tzitzit on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the tzitzit of the corner a thread of tekhelet. This will be to you for tzitzit that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of God, and fulfill them, and not seek after your own heart and your own eyes, which you use to go astray; that you may remember and fulfill all My commandments, and be holy to your God.

Tzitzit 1:3). • One might think that there are two separate mitzvot, but since the verse uses [the singular verb] “ve-hayah” it indicates that there is only one mitzvah involved. (Mechilta d’R’Yishmael; Sifrei Zuta, Shlach). • The essence (ikar) of the mitzvah is tekhelet and one wearing white without tekhelet has not fulfilled a complete mitzvah (mitzvah shleimah).
