The #Rastafari Great Fast and Loving Kindness✡️➕ A Meditation for Hudade #ሆዳዴ From A Judeo-Christian Perspective #አብይጾም צום# #ቸርነት חסד#

Fasting disciplines the carnal mind’s urges of selfishness (i.e. narcissism; the Teaching/Talmud associates the narcissistic mind with idolatry.

2 Thessalonians 4 describes the Antichrist [Against Messiah] as: “He,

‘Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God’).

However gradual, during extended fasting, our sense of compassion (חסד Khesed | ቸርነት Chernet – lovingkindness) for others is nurtured as the hunger we experience, however briefly, allows us to actually feel the need of others and be less selfish.

Khesed: In its positive sense, the word is used of kindness or love between people, of piety of people towards God as well as of love or mercy of God towards humanity. It is frequently used in Psalms in the latter sense, where it is traditionally translated “lovingkindness”.

Isaiah 58’s discussion of the practice of fasting is the longest in the Hebrew Bible, focusing on misuse. It explains why the audience’s fasts have not led to healing (Isa 58:3), following a common prophetic critique: righteous action must accompany ritual practice. This text links the specific Hebrew practice of fasting with the just act of sharing bread with the hungry (Isa 58:7). Denying oneself food while remaining involved in unjust acts will not result in favor (Isa 58:3-4, 6). Instead, the person who satisfies the famished (Isa 58:10) will become like a watered garden (Isa 58:11)

Let the Hungry Be Fed
