Restoration Begins from the
Roots
Jeremiah 6:16- 19 Here is what ADONAI says: "Stand at the crossroads and look;
ask about the ancient paths, ‘Which one is the good way?’ Take it, and you will
find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not take it.’ 17 I
appointed sentinels to direct them: ‘Listen for the sound of the shofar.’ But
they said, ‘We will not listen.’ 18 So hear, you nations; know, you assembly,
what there is against them. 19 Hear, oh earth! I am going to bring disaster on
this people; it is the consequence of their own way of thinking; for they pay
no attention to my words; and as for my Torah, they reject it. CJB
Psalms
95:10-11 For forty years I loathed that generation; I said, ‘This is a
people whose hearts go astray, they don't understand how I do things.’ 11
Therefore I swore in my anger that they would not enter my rest." CJB
Hebrews 3:10 Therefore, I was disgusted with that generation - I
said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, they have not understood how I
do things’; 11 in my anger, I swore that they would not enter my rest." <o>
12 Watch out, brothers, so that there will not be in any one of you an evil
heart lacking trust, which could lead you to apostatize from the living God! 13
Instead, keep exhorting each other every day, as long as it is called Today, so
that none of you will become hardened by the deceit of sin. 14 For we have
become sharers in the Messiah, provided, however, that we hold firmly to the
conviction we began with, right through until the goal is reached. 15 Now
where it says, "Today, if you hear God's voice, don't harden your hearts, as you
did in the Bitter Quarrel," <p> 16 who were the people who, after they heard,
quarreled so bitterly? All those whom Moshe brought out of Egypt. 17 And with
whom was God disgusted for forty years? Those who sinned - yes, they fell dead
in the Wilderness! 18 And to whom was it that he swore that they would not
enter his rest? Those who were disobedient.
19 So we see that they were unable to enter because of lack of trust. CJB

Our Mandate At Olive Tree is two fold:
