We pray that all is well for you in your local communities.  The USA's economy is currently receading at 6-8%, in excess of that of the depression in 1931, but we are still not calling it a depression.  I wanted to post a note on this not relating to prophecy, but to our own situation.  The costs of operating this and other sites over the years have been born primarily out of my personal income with little to no support from the community.  Due to my own finances, I am in a situation where I may have to take the sites off line for an extended period.  My income provides support for over 20 people, several who are disabled.  My ministry to them is in danger of failing as we are 60 days behind in our mortgage.  My personal take-home income has been cut this year by nearly $800 per month.  My wife lost $400 in hers.  While we struggled through last year, barely keeping afloat, this year we are running with $1200 less personal income than last year.  Although we have embedded advertising into the sites to produce a revenue stream, the income is amounts to pennies a day.  We do not intend to bring the site down permenantly, but may need to shut our servers down for a period of time to save on electricity and cut our commercial internet connection.  Please pray that Elohim provides the resources necessary to sustain our home as there are a dozen children and others that will have no home if we lose ours.

Shalom,

Rabbi Netzar ben Yaacov

Recently MIA made the following proclomation:

Though we do encourage Believers to feel free to pursue physical circumcision (as outlined in the Heralds, "Circumcision and The New Covenant Believer"), we nonetheless feel we must make it clear that we absolutely do not agree that physical circumcision is a "requirement" for one to partake of the New Covenant Passover. True circumcision is a work of the Ruach, it is not to be a "requirement" of man.
- Batya and Angus, MIA


OK I have to address this.  First of all there is absolutely no mention in
the Scriptures of a "New Covenent Passover".  The only passover I am aware of is that of Exodus 12

That one Passover  was described this way:

And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and you shall keepo it a feast to YHWH THROUGHOUT YOUR GENERATIONS; you shall keep it a feast by an ordinance FOREVER.
(Ex. 12:14 (see also 12:17))

However the Passover that was to be "throughout your generations... forever" is not to be eaten by a person who is not circumcised (Ex. 12:43-45):

Physical circumcision was to be a required token of the covenant for all
generations forever. (Read Gen. 17:9-14)  It is not a requirement of man but a requirement of YHWH.

CIRCUMCISED HEART

The "circumcision of the heart" is mentioned in the Ketuvim Netzarim in
Rom. 2:28-29 and Col. 2:11.  Many have misunderstood this circumcision of the heart as being a substitute for physical circumcision.  However this
circumcision of the heart was not a substitute for physical circumcision
nor a substitute for Torah observance in general.  In context here it seems
to refer to removing the stuborness in ones heart and making it open to
Torah.

This Torah tells us to circumcise our heart (Deut. 10:16) love YHWH with
all our heart and keep his commandments (Deut. 11:1, 13) and place the
Torah in our heart (Deut.11:18).  Thus circumcision of the heart would seem to involve loving YHWH and keeping his commandments and and placing the Torah in our hearts.
