Torah Parshat Shemini, 2nd Portion (Vayikra (Leviticus) 9:17-9:23)
New King James Version
17 Then he brought the grain offering, took a handful of it, and burned it on the altar, besides the burnt sacrifice of the morning.
18 He also killed the bull and the ram as sacrifices of peace offerings, which were for the people. And Aaron’s sons presented to him the blood, which he sprinkled all around on the altar, 19 and the fat from the bull and the ram—the fatty tail, what covers the entrails and the kidneys, and the fatty lobe attached to the liver; 20 and they put the fat on the breasts. Then he burned the fat on the altar; 21 but the breasts and the right thigh Aaron waved as a wave offering before the Lord, as Moses had commanded.
22 Then Aaron lifted his hand toward the people, blessed them, and came down from offering the sin offering, the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 23 And Moses and Aaron went into the tabernacle of meeting, and came out and blessed the people. Then the glory of the Lord appeared to all the people,

Breakfast by the Sea
1 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way He showed Himself: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and [a]immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. 4 But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Then Jesus said to them, “Children, have you any food?”
They answered Him, “No.”
6 And He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.” So they cast, and now they were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment (for he had removed it), and plunged into the sea. 8 But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from land, but about two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fish. 9 Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish which you have just caught.”
11 Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three; and although there were so many, the net was not broken. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.” Yet none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who are You?”—knowing that it was the Lord. 13 Jesus then came and took the bread and gave it to them, and likewise the fish.
14 This is now the third time Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was raised from the dead.
Jesus Restores Peter
15 So when they had eaten breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of [b]Jonah, do you love Me more than these?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [c]love You.”
He said to him, “Feed My lambs.”
16 He said to him again a second time, “Simon, son of [d]Jonah, do you love Me?”
He said to Him, “Yes, Lord; You know that I [e]love You.”
He said to him, “Tend My sheep.”
17 He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of [f]Jonah, do you [g]love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep. 18 Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.” 19 This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me.”
The Beloved Disciple and His Book
20 Then Peter, turning around, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at the supper, and said, “Lord, who is the one who betrays You?” 21 Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “But Lord, what about this man?”
22 Jesus said to him, “If I [h]will that he remain till I come, what is that to you? You follow Me.”
23 Then this saying went out among the brethren that this disciple would not die. Yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but, “If I will that he remain till I come, what is that to you?”
24 This is the disciple who testifies of these things, and wrote these things; and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.
Destroy the Amalekites
17 “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God. 19 Therefore it shall be, when the Lord your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.

Destroy the Amalekites
17 “Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, 18 how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God. 19 Therefore it shall be, when the Lord your God has given you rest from your enemies all around, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you to possess as an inheritance, that you will blot out the remembrance of Amalek from under heaven. You shall not forget.
Observation
It’s hard to believe that this GOD of love can also be a very vengeful GOD when HE sees that a certain people does not even bow to HIM because they do not fear GOD. It seems that GOD has not forgiven the Amalekites when they did not allow the people of Israel passage to get to their promise land. GOD even told Israel to remember what they did to you, blot them out in other words — so kill them all — yikes! This GOD that I know is the GOD of War! The first and only commandment is to LOVE GOD, and the rest is about loving people but how can we love GOD completely, fully, wholeheartedly if our hearts and spirits are broken? But ironically, it is GOD who is closest and nearest to those who are broken spirits and contrite hearts Psalm 51:17. HE does not turn them away because HIS loving mercy is great and deep!
Application
I will love those that GOD had came to save yet still do not believe in HIM because GOD has loved me and I am loved, and because of HIS great love, I am compelled to love the broken and bitter, so that GOD’s power and HIS great love in me will meltdown all the hate in the hearts that are in pain, wounded, surviving those trauma all these years, and find their healing through the GOD who lives in me. The miracles in my life are too much to not believe. HE is a wonder working GOD!!!
And there are people HE does tell me not to communicate anymore, not to trust anymore, but to put them out of the boundary of my inner circle, because in their hearts are envy and therefore they will only hinder me from entering my land of Promise. Sorry, I can’t invite everyone to the wedding, kato rajud naay love nako, nag ampo nako ug naa faith.
And to answer the question if GOD will blot out your transgressions??? Yes and No! Because during the time Amalekite hindered Israel from passing safely at a critical time of War, it was urgent that they should have let them pass by, but because the Amalekites gave them a hard time, GOD did not forgive Amelekites and therefore when the Hebrews (God’s chosen elect) are settled in their land of Promise, GOD commands them to kill every Amelekite!!! Yes! People! Age of Grace is almost done, and this is a critical time, even my own mother had kneeled and bowed to KING YESHUA’s order for her to bless me to be with my Special child little Prince who is still a frog as of this moment and Prince Deric always laughs about it hahahaha! btaw funny man gud, kai karon he is compared to a turtle or frog kai wala paman lagi HOLY SPIRIT FIRE baptismal, but tanawa lang nya na ron kai he will be a very different person and everyone will sense his anointing that I did not even recognize at the begining because he looked like Frankenstein and he smelled like formaline according to my sister Kim.
Oh no I hear my niece Deah crying again in the other room, she is always crying throughout the watches of the Night that I am awake, oi nganu man LORD? tabangi intawn na akong Princesss LORD! She is also fighting her own battle and I know she will have victory in JESUS because she is a worshipping warrior!
