"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." – Matthew 11:28–30

The presidential elections of 1856 and 2024 share profound connections when viewed through the lens of faith, repentance, and the ultimate hope found in Christ. Central to this reflection is the Hebrew word "daqar"—to pierce or thrust through—evoking both physical and spiritual dimensions of judgment, redemption, and restoration.

“When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.” — 1 Corinthians 13:11-12 (NLT)

Scripture 1: Joshua 6:3 NLT - "You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days."

Day 2: Gratitude in Every Circumstance

Day 1: The Fattened Bird – A Symbol of Abundance

"My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry."

"Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken."

Daath - The Sephirah That Is and Is Not

Psalm 51 NLT

“G‑d borrows terms from His creatures to express His relationship with the world. G‑d has no eyes, yet He creates the eye and is aware of everything that happens in the world. G‑d has no hand, yet He creates the hand and His providence guides the world’s destiny. When the Torah tells us that G‑d made Man in His image, it means that Man is a microcosm of the Sefirot, with the entire spiritual infrastructure reflected in him.”

Kabbalistic Context of Geburah:

1 John 1:5-7, 9-10 (NLT)

Deborah’s leadership is highlighted in Judges 4:4-5, where she is described as a prophetess and judge over Israel. She held court under the Palm of Deborah, and the people of Israel came to her for judgment, showing her position as both a spiritual and judicial leader. Her wisdom and faith allowed her to see God’s plan beyond what others could discern.

 "For in her is a spirit that is intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, mobile, clear, unpolluted, distinct, invulnerable, loving the good, keen, irresistible, beneficent, humane, steadfast, sure, free from anxiety, all-powerful, overseeing all, and penetrating through all spirits that are intelligent, pure, and most subtle. For wisdom is more mobile than any motion; because of her pureness she pervades and penetrates all things." — Wisdom 7:22-25

Daniel 6:23 - "Then the king was exceedingly glad and commanded that Daniel be taken up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no kind of harm was found on him, because he had trusted in his God."

 “For your love is better than wine, and the fragrance of your oils is like the fragrance of the finest perfumes.” - Song of Songs 1:2-3

“And the king made of the almug trees supports for the house of the LORD, and for the king’s house, harps also and psalteries for singers: there came no such almug trees, nor were seen unto this day.”
