Jacob’s Ladder From Heaven10 Then Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. 11 He happened upon a certain place and spent the night there, for the sun had set. So he took one of the stones from the place and put it by his head and lay down in that place. 12 He dreamed: All of a sudden, there was a stairway set up on the earth and its top reaching to the heavens—and behold, angels of God going up and down on it! 13 Surprisingly, Adonai was standing on top of it[a] and He said, “I am Adonai, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. The land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your seed. 14 Your seed will be as the dust of the land, and you will burst forth to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed—and in your seed. 15 Behold, I am with you, and I will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land, for I will not forsake you until I have done what I promised you.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Gen.+28%3A10%E2%80%9332%3A3&version=TLV |

| 13 Now Jacob fled to the field of Aram, when Israel served for a wife— yes, he kept watch for a wife. 14 So by a prophet Adonai brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept. 15 Ephraim has provoked bitter anger, so his bloodguilt will remain on him— his Lord will repay him for his contempt. No Other Savior13 When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hos.+12%3A13%E2%80%9314%3A10&version=TLV |

The Heavens Open at Yeshua’s Mikveh13 Then Yeshua came from the Galilee to John, to be immersed by him in the Jordan. 14 But John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be immersed by You, and You are coming to me?”15 But Yeshua responded, “Let it happen now, for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” So John yielded to Him.16 After being immersed, Yeshua rose up out of the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Ruach Elohim[a] descending like a dove and coming upon Him. 17 And behold, a voice from the heavens said, “This is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased!”[b] Overcoming Temptation with God’s Word4 Then Yeshua was led by the Ruach into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. 3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are Ben-Elohim, tell these stones to become bread.”4 But He replied, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”[c]5 Then the devil took Him into the holy city and placed Him on the highest point of the Temple. 6 “If You are Ben-Elohim,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written,‘He shall command His angels concerning you,’[d]and ‘upon their hands they shall lift you up, so that you may not strike your foot against a stone.’”[e]https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mt.+3%3A13%E2%80%934%3A11&version=TLV John 1 : 19 – 51John’s Witness to Israel’s Leaders19 This is John’s testimony, when the Judean leaders sent kohanim and Levites from Jerusalem to ask him, “Who are you?”20 He openly admitted and did not deny; he admitted, “I am not the Messiah.”21 “What then? Are you Elijah?” they asked him.“I am not,” said John.“Are you the Prophet?”“No,” he answered.22 So they said to him, “Who are you? Give us an answer for those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?”23 He said, “I am ‘the voice of one crying in the wilderness, “Make straight the way of Adonai,”’[a] as the prophet Isaiah said.”24 Now those sent were from the Pharisees. 25 They asked him, “If you’re not the Messiah, Elijah, or the Prophet, why then are you immersing?” 26 “I immerse in water,” John answered. “Among you stands One you do not know, 27 coming after me, whose sandals I’m not worthy to untie.” 28 These things happened in Bethany beyond the Jordan, where John was immersing. Behold, the Lamb of God29 The next day, John sees Yeshua coming to him and says, “Behold, the Lamb[b] of God who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is the One about whom I told you, ‘He who comes after me is above me, because He was before me.’ 31 I didn’t know Him, but I came immersing with water so that He might be revealed to Israel.” https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John1%3A19-51&version=TLV |
