The “Angel of Abba” aka Messiah, tells Habakkuk to take food to Daniel, who at that very moment was in the lions’ den in Babylon.

The problem? Habakkuk was in Israel. He had never been to Babylon, had no idea where the lions’ den was, and had no clue where Daniel could be found.

So what does Messiah do?

He simply takes Habakkuk by the hair and carries him straight to Daniel in Babylon, where Habakkuk delivers the food.

I mean… imagine being Habakkuk.

One moment you’re going about your day, carrying food to the workers in the field and the next, you’re being carried through the air by your hair to another land because Messiah has a delivery to make.

Isn’t it amazing how Abba always provides for His own?

When He says someone needs to be fed, distance is no obstacle.

When He sends you, He will make a way.

and His way is absolutely incredible.

Adam lived 930 years, yet compared with YHWH’s perspective of time, that is less than a day.
Let’s put our own lives into perspective.

Suppose you live to be 100 years old:
1,000 ÷ 100 = 10
One day ÷ 10 = 2.4 hours
That means that, using this comparison, an entire 100-year human life would be only 2 hours and 24 minutes.

Think about that.

A lifetime that feels so long to us is, in the grand scale of eternity, like a breeze… a vapor… a moment.
“As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.” Psalm 103:15
The grass rises.

The wind passes.
The flower withers.
Time is short. Life is fleeting.
What will you do with the time you have been given?

Did you know that the name Jeshua is mentioned 30 times in scripture, including a high priest and Joshua himself?


1Ch 24:11
The ninth to Jeshua, the tenth to Shecaniah,

2Ch 31:15
And next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their set office, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small:

Ezr 2:2
Which came with Zerubbabel: Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

Ezr 2:6
The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand eight hundred and twelve.

Ezr 2:36
The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.

Ezr 2:40
The Levites: the children of Jeshua and Kadmiel, of the children of Hodaviah, seventy and four.

Ezr 3:2
Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and builded the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.

Ezr 3:8
Now in the second year of their coming unto the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that were come out of the captivity unto Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.

Ezr 3:9
Then stood Jeshua with his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brethren the Levites.

Ezr 4:3
But Zerubbabel, and Jeshua, and the rest of the chief of the fathers of Israel, said unto them, Ye have nothing to do with us to build an house unto our God; but we ourselves together will build unto the LORD God of Israel, as king Cyrus the king of Persia hath commanded us.

Ezr 5:2
Then rose up Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and began to build the house of God which is at Jerusalem: and with them were the prophets of God helping them.

Ezr 8:33
Now on the fourth day was the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriah the priest; and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah the son of Binnui, Levites;

Ezr 10:18
And among the sons of the priests there were found that had taken strange wives: namely, of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren; Maaseiah, and Eliezer, and Jarib, and Gedaliah.

Neh 3:19
And next to him repaired Ezer the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, another piece over against the going up to the armoury at the turning of the wall.

Neh 7:7
Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number, I say, of the men of the people of Israel was this;

Neh 7:11
The children of Pahathmoab, of the children of Jeshua and Joab, two thousand and eight hundred and eighteen.

Neh 7:39
The priests: the children of Jedaiah, of the house of Jeshua, nine hundred seventy and three.

Neh 7:43
The Levites: the children of Jeshua, of Kadmiel, and of the children of Hodevah, seventy and four.

Neh 8:7
Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodijah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Levites, caused the people to understand the law: and the people stood in their place.

Neh 8:17
And all the congregation of them that were come again out of the captivity made booths, and sat under the booths: for since the days of Jeshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

Neh 9:4
Then stood up upon the stairs, of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, and Chenani, and cried with a loud voice unto the LORD their God.

Neh 9:5
Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said, Stand up and bless the LORD your God for ever and ever: and blessed be thy glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

Neh 10:9
And the Levites: both Jeshua the son of Azaniah, Binnui of the sons of Henadad, Kadmiel;

Neh 11:26
And at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethphelet,

Neh 12:1
Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

Neh 12:7
Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.

Neh 12:8
Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, which was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.

Neh 12:10
And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,

Neh 12:24
And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

Neh 12:26
These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
