In days to come Jacob will take root,
Israel will bud and blossom
and fill all the world with fruit.
Isaiah 27:6

Yes! The grapefruits are Jaffa Sweetie from Israel. At Tu B`Shevat we were able to find them in our local supermarket in a small city in the South of Japan! Baruch HaShem! The prophetic verse is already coming to pass as Israel sends her delicious fruit out into the world. I am so thankful to receive them here. I remember the very first time I saw an Israel fruit in our local supermarket in Japan (HERE!), it was also Tu B`Shevat!! Once we open our hearts to love and pray for Israel, Heaven hears and God sends fruit! The land of Israel becomes closer and closer, and we too get closer to our return.
But you, mountains of Israel, you will shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit for My people Israel; for their return is near.
Ezekiel 36:8
Taste and see how good the LORD is.
15 Shevat, 5783
Happy Tu B`Shevat!
Love,
Shayndel
PS adding a verse with `my word` this year, inheritance, and how beautiful to go with the fruit of Tu B`shevat in all its prophetic splendour, and there will be a `sowing of Shalom`! Thank you LORD! We speak it forward on this very Tu B`Shevat today as the sap courses through the trees and they awaken in spring, and your Ruach courses through the spirit of your people to return to our inheritance in You!
For there will be a sowing of shalom: the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its increase, and the heavens will give their dew. I will cause the remnant of this people to inherit all these things.
Zechariah 8:12
כִּי-זֶרַע הַשָּׁלוֹם, הַגֶּפֶן תִּתֵּן פִּרְיָהּ וְהָאָרֶץ תִּתֵּן אֶת-יְבוּלָהּ, וְהַשָּׁמַיִם, יִתְּנוּ טַלָּם; וְהִנְחַלְתִּי, אֶת-שְׁאֵרִית הָעָם הַזֶּה--אֶת-כָּל-אֵלֶּה
Happy Tu B`Shevat!
ReplyDeleteIs the fruit from Israel?? 😊
Thank you Sandi. Yes! You have a good eye! It`s a Jaffa Sweetie from Israel! 💛
DeleteThank you Sandi! Yes, you have a good eye! The grapefruit is a Jaffa sweetie from Israel!! The others are the best I could do to represent the 7 species of fruits from Israel, including a pomegranate from America, and dried fruit from Japan. Oh and I just noticed the Matzah is also a `Product of Israel` (written on the box, though distributed from N.J.)!
DeleteGlory to God, and thanks to Him for all 💛
I like Tu'Bishvat for its tradition of planting trees, and especially fruit trees- symbol of nourishment. I must admit I'm generally fascinated by trees: they look down upon us , coming and going, and they live longer than us humans.
ReplyDeleteHi Duta. Yes, I should mention more in the post about it. Thanks for sharing. I like this day too and did plant some trees in Israel! (though not by my hands, just by supporting those places in the Land who do so!),
DeleteThere is also a beautiful connection to God`s covenant promises to the Jewish people, He is bringing us back and planting us in the land as His promises say! Already you have returned to the land, and are `planted` there! May you be like a tree planted by streams of water, delight in the Torah of ADONAI, and succeed in all you do ! (from Psalm 1)💛
