Shema Yisrael, Sh'ma Yisrael or just Shema, no matter what you call it, is not only for the Jews as you may think. It is for YHVH's people; all of His people. You see, Israel is the name of His people, the apple of his eye. They are those who make up the whole of His glorious kingdom.
Shema is found in Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:13-21 and Numbers 15:37-41 and goes as follows:
Hear O' Israel, YHVH our Eloh is one. He and he alone; blessed be the name of His glorious kingdom forever. You will love YHVH with all your heart, all your mind and all your might.Shema in Christianity
Shema is one of the sentences that is quoted in the New Testament. The Gospel of Mark 12:29,30 states: And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment..(KJV)
V'ahavta
Commonly referred to by the first word of the verse immediately following the Shema as the V'ahavta, meaning "And you shall love...", contain the commands to love God with all one's heart, soul, and might; then the verse goes on to remind you to remember all commandments and "teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit down and when you walk, when you lie down and when you rise" (Deut 6:7); to recite the words of God when retiring or rising; to bind those words on thy arm and thy head and to inscribe them on the door-posts of your house and on your gates.

Sadly, it seems that there is so much confusion going on with Christians and the church today. This is my attempt to clarify the reasons why this has happened. It also offers solutions to unboggle. You too can experience the freedom that real faith brings and become a warrior for the most high.
From Everlasting to Everlasting, He is YHVH is a free book/e-book. It encompasses many years of prayer, seeking Yah, faith, dedication, research and study. This research by no means has come easy, quite contrary. Indeed, I have lost much by doing so in the way of friends and family; however, it is my belief that this information is so very important and equally, I have been blessed in so many ways by sticking with it.
