This is what Our Great Chief and Captain says, he who created the heavens and stretched them forth, he who spread out the earth and all that comes out of it, he who gives breath to the people of the earth and spirit to those who walk in it: “I, Creator Yahweh, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”

Warriors, Jesus Yeshua is our covenant. Yes. It means salvation. Yes it means eternity in his light. But it also means much more. It means the opening of blinded eyes, the freeing of those who are captive, the healing of the brokenhearted. The former things have come to pass and now our Great Chief and Captain is declaring new things. He has called us for a righteous purpose.

Let us sing to Creator Yahweh a new song. Let us dance his praise to the ends of the earth!
