Returning to Bethel: A Prophetic Call to Consecration
When Yahweh calls Jacob back to Bethel in Genesis 35, He issues more than a simple command. This return represents a sacred moment of fulfillment, gratitude, and restoration that speaks directly to our walk today.
Jacob had made a vow at Bethel years earlier, and now Yahweh gently reminds him to keep his word. Before ascending to this holy place, Jacob instructs his entire household to remove foreign gods, purify themselves, and change their garments. This threefold preparation repentance, cleansing, and transformation establishes a pattern for how we approach Yahweh's presence.
The inclusion of Jacob's whole household reveals something beautiful about covenant. This wasn't just about one man's relationship with Elohim. Every person in his camp had to consecrate themselves because they were all part of the covenant community heading to worship.
Paul echoes this in Ephesians 2, reminding those grafted into Israel that we are no longer strangers to the covenants of promise. As Ezekiel prophesied, when all Israel returns and removes their idols, Yahweh will make us one nation under one King.
Bethel calls us still. What foreign gods must we remove? How must we purify ourselves? The Father invites us home, where Yeshua has prepared a place for those who follow Torah and walk in His ways.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
