Mudança
A mudança é constante na vida, mas Deus é imutável. A Bíblia nos ensina a abraçar a transformação espiritual enquanto confiamos no Deus que é o mesmo ontem, hoje e sempre.
Deus é imutável
Jesus Cristo é o mesmo ontem, hoje e para sempre. Deus não muda — Ele é a rocha firme em meio às mudanças constantes da vida.
Yehoshua — Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, the same etmol, hayom, ul’Olamim.
For I am Hashem, I change not;
therefore ye Bnei Ya’akov are not consumed.
Every good endowment and every matanah shleimah (complete gift) is from above, coming down from Avi HaOhrot (the Father of Lights) with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.
Shomayim and haaretz will pass away, but the devarim of me will by no means pass away.
Transformação em Cristo
Se alguém está em Cristo, é nova criação. Somos transformados de glória em glória à imagem do Senhor pelo poder do Espírito.
So that if anyone is in Moshiach, he is a bria chadasha (a new being): the old things passed away; hinei, all has become chadashot.
Now all of us, with unveiled faces, seeing the kavod of Adoneinu as if reflected in a mirror, are being transformed into the same demut from kavod to kavod, even as from HaAdon, HaRuach.
Stop allowing yourself to be conformed to the Olam Hazeh, but be transformed by your hitkhadshut (regeneration, renewal) of your mind, so that you may ascertain what is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), what is the good, acceptable, and perfect will of G-d.
Chaverim, now yeladim of Elohim we are, and not yet it is niglah (is revealed) what we will be. We have da’as that when He is niglah, like Him we will be, because we will see Him as He is.
Who will transfigure the basar of our humiliation into the demut of the mode of being of the guf kavod of Moshiach, according to the pe’ulah (action, work) of his ko’ach (power), even to the subjecting of all things to himself.
Hinei! I speak a sod (mystery) to you: we will not all sleep the sleep of the Mesim, but we will all be changed. In a rega (moment), in the wink of an eye, at the last shofar blast. For the shofar will sound, the Mesim (dead ones) will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.
Arrependimento como mudança
Arrependei-vos, pois, e convertei-vos. O arrependimento é a mudança mais radical — da morte para a vida, do pecado para a graça.
Produce pri tov l’teshuva (fruit worthy of repentance)!
Lo (no), I say, but unless you make teshuva, you will all likewise perish.
Therefore, make teshuva (repentance, turning from chet [sin] to G-d) and turn in order that your chatta’im, your averos (sins) may be removed,
Tempos e ciclos
Para tudo há uma estação e um tempo para cada propósito debaixo do céu. Deus faz novas todas as coisas no tempo certo.
To every thing there is a zeman (time), and an et (season) for every matter under Shomayim:
Dor v’dor, generations come and go, passing away;
but ha’aretz remaineth l’olam.
The shemesh also ariseth, and the shemesh goeth down,
and hasteth to its place, there to arise again.
The ruach (wind) goeth toward the darom (south),
and turneth about unto the tzafon (north);
it whirleth about continually,
and the ruach returneth again according to its circuits.
All the nechalim (rivers) run into the yam;
yet the yam is not full;
unto the place from whence the nechalim come,
thither they return to go again.
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be;
and that which is done is that which shall be done;
and there is nothing chadash under the shemesh.
Is there anything whereof it may be said:
See, this is chadash?
L’olamim (ages ago), which were before us,
it hath been already.
Hineni, I am doing a chadashah (new thing);
now titzmach (it shall spring forth; Tzemach); shall ye not perceive it?
I will even make a derech in the midbar,
and neharot in the desert.
Knowing this first, that during the acharit hayamim there will come leitzim (mockers, scorners) mocking, going after their own ta’avot (lusts), And saying, "Where is the havtachah (promise) of the Bias HaMoshiach? From the time Avoteinu fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of HaBri’ah (Creation)." For this is hidden from them (but they want it that way): that the Shomayim existed from long ago and ha’Aretz out of mayim and through mayim BIDVAR Hashem NA’ASU (By the word of the L-rd were made). Through this very mayim, the tevel (world) of that time perished in the mabbul (flood). But the present Shomayim v’ha’Aretz are being reserved by the same Dvar Hashem, being kept for Eish (Fire) for Yom HaDin and for the destruction of anshei resha (men of wickedness).
