Tu b\u2019Shevat<\/h2>\n

The New Year of Trees (Tu b\u2019Shevat)<\/strong> has finally arrived in Israel, the official beginning of the change from Winter to Spring<\/em><\/strong>, but it is so much more than that. During this Biblical month of Shevat, Tu\u2019Bishvat gives us time to reflect on our roots,<\/strong> and our fruit. Before Tu b\u2019Shevat became an official holiday, it was once the day when the new season was officially set between growing seasons so that when the time to bring ones tithe and offering to Adonai came<\/em>, they would bring the right amount and type of first fruits offering.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Generally, no one likes tax season, but it is a time when we prepare in order to pay the right amount. However, what if we ourselves are the first fruit of Adonai? When given a Roman coin discussing the paying of Taxes of Rome, Yeshua said to the people give unto caesar whose image is on the coin, and give unto YHWH what is His (Mark 12:17).<\/em> In other words, you are made in the image of Adonai<\/strong>, and are therefor are His very own.<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\n\t
