Greetings Family of The Most High God!
His word is the fuel for our bodies to absorb His Ruach haKodesh (Holy Spirit)!
Pray this;
Father, please help me retain these words in my mind, remember them as I walk and give you glory. Amen.
To whom is The Arm of יְהוָֹה revealed?
But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? For this ointment might have been sold for much, and given to the poor.
When Yeshua understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? for she hath wrought a good work upon me. For ye have the poor always with you; but me ye have not always.
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her. (Mat 26:6-13)
Mary understood the scriptures and knew about what Yeshua was about to go through. As a Lamb he was led to the slaughter... יְהוָֹה hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. She understood that Messiah would be put to death. She understood that the words of Abraham would be fulfilled in Yeshua which said:
God will provide himself a sacrifice.
(Genesis 22)
For in that she hath poured this ointment on my body, she did it for my burial. (Mat 26:12)
Yeshua clearly tells us that she; poured it on Him as a burial ointment. Keep that in mind as you read to the bottom of this article.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and יְהוָֹה hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. (Isa 53:5-6)
Some were not reckoning the compassion of Messiah and His earlier statements; When Yeshua heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. (Mark 2:17)
And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat. And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Master, say on.
There was a certain creditor which had two debtors: the one owed five hundred pence, and the other fifty.
And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly forgave them both. Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
Simon answered and said, I suppose that he, to whom he forgave most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged.
And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head.
Thou gavest me no kiss: but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven.
And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that forgiveth sins also?
And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace. (Luke 7:36-50)
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and יְהוָֹה hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:5-6 (YeshaYah – Salvation of Yah)
This Mary was that same Mary who “hung out and served� Yeshua and the 12, along with other women also, from their own livelihood.
And it came to pass afterward, that he went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, And certain women, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, And Joanna the wife of Chuza Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others, which ministered unto him of their substance. (Luke 8:1-3)
I am praying to have the courage and compliant will of this woman and for everyone on my prayer list. This righteous Miriam, who knew and acted upon the truth of the Scriptures. She was remorseful and repented of her sins and was forgiven and honored by Yeshua! She was blessed with the knowledge of understanding Yeshua was Messiah, and that He was about to be put to death as The Lamb of God, shortly.
They wait until after Sabbath to go to His grave and put burial ointment on Him.
And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just: (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God. This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Yeshua. And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid. And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on. And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid. And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment. (Luke 23:50-56)
Following and serving Yeshua, they knew what to do. Always Keep the commandments. There is a special blessing in keeping The Sabbath Day set apart as a different day in certain aspects. (Exodus, Chapter 31) If you do this, you will assuredly receive a blessing reserved for those who do. The keeping or guarding of the Shabbat, is considered by God to be a SPECIAL TOKEN of the covenant between Him and you (if you have entered into that agreement, guarding Sabbath).
So she, and the others, rested according to the commandment. (from friday at sundown to saturday at sundown)
The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Yeshua loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. (John 20:1-2)
But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her. (John 20:11-18)
And Yeshua, after rising from the dead, appeared to Miriam first. He knew she wouldn’t make it there on time to annoint Him before He rose and when He was set apart and couldn’t be touched. She had already done it.
This story of her, for what she had done, her faith with works, was acknowledged by Yeshua as an act that would be told everywhere the good news was told, as a remembrance of her and a testimony that, according to the Holy Scriptures;
Yeshua saves sinners from their sins.
