Keshet of Glory…

Allow the light of God’s love to shine in you brightly. As Yeshua said, “Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, such is the one who loves me. And the one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and will manifest myself to him” (John 14:21). Note that the Greek word for “manifest” means to “shine inside” (i.e., ἐμφανίζω, from ἐν, “in” and φαίνω, “shine”), indicating that the revelation would be inward light of the Divine Presence. The Hebrew word for “praise” (i.e., tehillah: תְּהִלָּה) comes from a verb that means “to shine” (i.e., halal: הָלַל), from which we derive the word “halo.” Similarly, the word “aura” comes from the Hebrew word “ohr” (אוֹר), meaning “light.” Let your inner light shine before others so that they may see your good works and give honor to your Father who is in heaven” (Matt. 5:16).

I saw this rainbow during sunset on the evening before Yom Kippur, 5775…

“For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at the works of your hands I sing for joy.”

“Let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.” – Psalm 96:12-13

I took this picture of the fall forest on the second day of Rosh Hashanah…

“As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more.”

אֱנוֹשׁ כֶּחָצִיר יָמָיו כְּצִיץ הַשָּׂדֶה כֵּן יָצִיץ
כִּי רוּחַ עָבְרָה־בּוֹ וְאֵינֶנּוּ וְלא־יַכִּירֶנּוּ עוֹד מְקוֹמוֹ

– Psalm 103:15-16
