The Letter Shin and Yeshua's Fiery Nature

But tonight, my friends, we're going to look at the Shin. It's a very powerful letter. If you're not familiar where it is located on the Aleph-Bet, it looks like the "W" on the bottom left-hand side. It's next to the last letter, the Tav, or some people call it the Tau. So this is the Shin. And we're going to get into this very powerful letter as it relates to Yeshua, because His name, the "shu" in Yeshua, is the Shin. So it's a very powerful letter when we look at how it relates to and correlates to the Messiah.

We'll start with the scripture that we always start out with, just like we always do, and we'll come back to it once we go through the education of the Shin. This is from Messiah, Luke 12:49. And this is what the Savior says: "I came to send fire on the earth, and how I wished it was already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how distressed I am till it is accomplished." Talking about His first coming events, the crucifixion. "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division."

So, my friends, this is a very powerful statement by Yeshua. This is something that you probably won't hear in the churches that much because of what it says. This is the true nature of Yeshua. We need to realize to read Him in this understanding. Even at the first coming events, He was ready for His fire to be kindled for the second coming events. And He speaks about His crucifixion as the baptism that He has to be baptized with and how distressed He was. Of course, think about the Garden of Gethsemane when He was praying for all of us at that time, sweating blood. And then look at what He ends up with. He says, "Do you suppose that I came to give peace on earth? No, I tell you, not at all, but rather division." And then He continues to say He's going to put father against son, daughter against mother, etc., etc. So, a lot of people don't like to read Yeshua in that sense, but that's truly who He is. And that's why we'll be going through the gospel accounts next year. When I say next year, after the Feast of Trumpets, we'll be going through the gospel accounts of Yeshua to really look at what He said in a different avenue, instead of all the things that we see today in the church, that He was very point-blank with everyone. And that goes into the Shin.

So, the Shin is a fire. And you can kind of see how it looks like flames in the character formation of the letter. So this is who He truly is, my friends. First coming events, of course, the second coming events, He's going to put out the fire on the earth, and He's the one that causes division of the entire world because of, again, what He said: father against son, daughter against mother, etc., etc., etc. So we want to start out with that, and now let's get the education so that we can go back and read what He said again and we'll have a better understanding of it.
