When
one of those at the table with him heard this, he said to Yahushua,
"Blessed is the man who will eat at the feast in the kingdom of
Elohim." Yahushua replied:
"A
certain man was preparing a great banquet and invited many guests. At
the time of the banquet he sent his servant to tell those who had
been invited, 'Come, for everything is now ready.'
"But
they all alike began to make excuses. The first said, 'I have just
bought a field, and I must go and see it. Please excuse me.' "Another
said, 'I have just bought five yoke of oxen, and I'm on my way to try
them out. Please excuse me.' "Still another said, 'I just got
married, so I can't come.'
"The
servant came back and reported this to his master. Then the owner of
the house became angry and ordered his servant, 'Go out quickly into
the streets and alleys of the town and bring in the poor, the
crippled, the blind and the lame.' "
'Sir,'
the servant said, 'what you ordered has been done, but there is still
room.'
"Then
the master told his servant, 'Go out to the roads and country lanes
and make them come in, so that my house will be full.
(Luke
14:15-23)
And His servant Isaiah says:
"All
you who are thirsty, come to the water! You without money, come, buy,
and eat! Yes, come! Buy wine and milk without money -- it's free! Why
spend money for what isn't food, your wages for what doesn't satisfy?
Listen
carefully to me, and you will eat well, you will enjoy the fat of the
land. Open your ears, and come to me; listen well, and you will live
-- I will make an everlasting covenant with you, the gift I assured
David. I have given him as a witness to the peoples, a leader and
lawgiver for the peoples.
You
will summon a nation you do not know, and a nation that doesn't know
you will run to you, for the sake of Yahuah your Elohim, the set apart One
of Israel, who will adorn you."
Seek
Yahuah while he is available, call on him while he is still near.
Let the wicked person abandon his way and the evil person his
thoughts; let him return to Yahuah, and he will have mercy on him;
let him return to our Elohim, for he will freely forgive. "For
my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways,"
says Yahuah.
"As
high as the sky is above the earth are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts. For just as rain and snow fall
from the sky and do not return there, but water the earth, causing it
to bud and produce, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
so is my word that goes out from my mouth -- it will not return to me
unfulfilled; but it will accomplish what I intend, and cause to
succeed what I sent it to do."
Yes,
you will go out with joy, you will be led forth in peace. As you
come, the mountains and hills will burst out into song, and all the
trees in the countryside will clap their hands. Cypresses will grow
in place of thorns, myrtles will grow instead of briars. This will
bring fame to Yahuah as an eternal, imperishable sign.
(Isaiah
55:1-13)
