"mouth filled with laughter & our tongue with singing"

In Job 8:21 Bildad, one of Job's false comforters, wrongly advised Job that if he were in right standing with God he would be prosperous and full of laughter. The Psalmist in Psalm 126:2 recorded that when the captivity of Zion was over, "then was our mouth filled with laughter and our tongue with singing." Proverbs 29:9 says, "If a wise man contendeth with a foolish man, whether he rage or laugh, there is no rest."



"fear shall laugh"--

Sense: laughter (tzchok).
Laughter is the expression of unbounded joy, the joy which results from witnessing light issue from darkness--"the advantage of light from darkness"--as is the case with regard to the miracle of Purim. The epitome of laughter in the Torah is that of Sarah at the birth of Isaac (whose name, Yitzchak, derives from the word tzchok): "G-d made me laugh, whoever hears shall laugh with me." Giving birth at the age of 90 (and Abraham at the age of 100), after being barren and physically unable to have children, is witnessing Divine light and miracle emerging from total darkness. The word in Hebrew for "barren" is composed of the same letters (in the same order) as the word for "darkness." Purim comes from the word pru, "be fruitful and multiply." Of Isaac, the archetype personification of laughter in the Torah, it is said "the fear [source of awe, i.e. G-d] of Isaac." This phrase can also be read as: "fear shall laugh"--the essence of fear shall metamorphize into the essence of laughter. In relation to Purim, the fear of (the decree of) Hamen transforms into the exuberant laughter of the festival of Purim. http://www.inner.org/times/adar/adar.htm

The joy of Adar is what makes the month of Adar the
"pregnant" month of the year (i.e., seven of the nineteen years in the cycle of the Jewish calender are "leap years," "pregnant" with an additional month of Adar). When there are two Adars, Purim is celebrated in the second Adar, in order to link the redemption of Purim to the redemption of Pesach. Thus we see that the secret of Adar and Purim is "the end is wedged in the beginning."

Spiritually, the time from Rosh HaShanah to Shemini Atzeret (a Sabbath), is seen as a time of or a state of "pregnancy." We are pregnant with a "hope!" It is hope that G-d brings to us who have a New Birth. Our old sin filled soul has now passed the birth canal into the light of G-d's true "Light," Messiah the Light of the world. Believers in Messiah have a "Hope" of the coming of our L-rd on Rosh HaShanah, to take Himself a Bride made ready.

The Baby Closet-treasure-chest Vision, Fertility versus fruition . . . ( a lesson


http://www.panhala.net/Archive/Laughter.jpg

With this in mind, one of the perplexing things in the Torah is the fact that the name of our holy patriarch Yitzhak, who represents the spiritual attribute of gevurah or strength, is Hebrew for the word “laughter”. You might ask what does gevurah/strength have to do with laughter since they seem like total opposites.

The reconciliation of these polar opposites is very deep. Sarah was a motherless woman of ninety. What is the last thing such a woman would expect to have? A baby! And what is it that our holy mother Sarah has? A baby! Laughter itself! Thus, Yitzhak becomes the embodiment of the unexpected. That’s the explanation from the comedy standpoint. On a deeper level, Yitzhak comes to represent the ultimate strength it takes to not let go of your dreams. As such, he becomes the spiritual repository of Avraham and Sarah’s most intractable desires. And this is gevurah or strength itself.

Bible Verses on Worship and Dance Before The Lord

Exodus 15:19-21

For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

excerpt
http://www.unlimitedglory.org/txtneedfulcha15.htm

As for now, we should praise Him, among other ways, with hands lifted in the name of the Lord (Ps.141:2, Ps.63:4 & I Tim. 2:8), with clapping hands (Ps.47:1), with dancing and tambourines (Ps.149:3), with shouts and sounds of the trumpet (II Sam.6:14), with symbols, flute, and strings (Ps.105:5), with sounds of the harp (Ps.33:2), with leaping (Acts 3:8 & II Sam.6:16), and bowing down (Ps.95:6). The fullness of the Feast of Tabernacles has not yet occurred, but even now He benefits us when we are faithful in our praising.

2 Chronicles 20:22

King James Bible
And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

The Bible speaks of God laughing.

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them (Psalm 2:4).

Crown 7,

Thank-you for the beautiful word. I just came from your thread on infertality and how that thread brought tears to my eyes.

My husband and I wed in 1979 and we built our home for a family. Year after year, no baby. Such heartache....the pain so intense. Went for infertaliity treatments for 6 years and all treatments were ineffective for me. There was no medical reason why I couldn't become pregnant, I just couldn't. All too often infertality treatment is not covered by health insurance and hence, so expensive. But who was complaining, I would just waitress a few more hours a day, after-all who can put a pricetag on a life? Even so when I was alone in the house if I closed my eyes tight enough I could hear the laughter and the weeping of some of our unborn children.

During this time period going to a baby shower was extremely painful and all too often I had to attend. But anyhow after one visit to my Dr, he wanted to try just one more treatment. Problem was that the treatment cost 10 thousand dollars a try and the procedure was not 100 % foolproof. I remember coming home from the doctor and going room to room and hearing our unborn childs voices. I was thinking; "Would have been a good Mom, God. Why have you denied me this priviledge?" All of a sudden I just wept and asked God to forgive me. I asked all my unborn children for forgiveness. I decided that I couldn't take it anymore mentally, and that I needed to stop treatments...which might have caused the death of our unborn children. That night I grieved them so, and said good-by.

My husband and I decided to adopt a baby from Guatemala. We went through an adoption agency in Washington DC called, "World Child." Expensive but they will get you results. About a year and a half latter we get a phone call on April 5, 1990 saying that we have a son. In October we got to fly out to bring our son home.

Our son almost died while in Guatemala from asthma. When we brought him home he was always hospitilized that first year until they found the right medication for him.

We always think of Christopher's birth mother and give thanks to God for her. She was used by God to bring our Son into the world. Here is a plague that I have in my home that says:
"An Adopted Child
Is a prayer whispered in the heart,
answered in heaven,
fulfilled in a wonderful way
by Gods eternal love...."

Folks what amazes me is that God timing is so perfect. His ways are always timed so perfectly. After 11 years of marriage God gave us a child that we so desperately wanted. But GOd worked it out in HIS way. And though child rearing I can see Gods hands in it all. To God be the Glory.

Gods Blessings,

Al

John 15:18-21

“If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you... If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you... because they do not know Him who sent Me."

Dearest Adeline :
