Whakatauki – Proverb:
Te Haunga o te Hangi
The Aroma of hope rising up from the ground
Whakatauki by Kaumatua Wikitoria
Ko te kainga te whakaruruhau o te whanau;
ki te kore he kainga ma te marangai te whanau e hemo.
The home is the shelter of the whanau; if there is no home the whanau becomes victim of the elements.
Whakatauki by Kaumatua Joe Naden
Mauri:
Na kia penei ta koutou inoi: E to matou Matua i te rangi, Kia tapu tou ingoa.0 Kia tae mai tou rangatiratanga. Kia meatia tau e pai ai ki runga ki te whenua, kia rite ano ki to te rangi.
Matu 6:9-10
E te hoa aroha, nui atu i nga mea katoa taku inoi kia kake koe ki te pai, kia ora, kia pera ano me tou wairua kua kake ki te pai.
3 John 1:2
9 In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done On earth as it is in heaven.
Matt 6:9-10
Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.
3 John 1:2
GRASPING by Rabbi Yaakov Brown (Artwork on the left)
The gift of this art, created by Rabbi Yaakov Brown, is paid for and given by the Beit Melekh (House of a King) Messiah Following Community, as a reciprocal act of unity toward the Maori people and the ministry of Maori Initiatives. To find out more about the inspiration behind this beautiful artwork please click on the following link: GRASPING by Rabbi Yaakov Brown
The Symbolism of the artwork is as follows:
The Colours in the artwork
White is the immutably pure King Messiah Yeshua. The Light of God. It is the tallit, the Israeli flag.
Blue is the Shamash (Servant strand) that represents Messiah the Word, it is the living waters of God. Cleansing.
Red is the blood of the King Messiah and the land of the Maori people.
Black is the firm outline of Torah (Instruction), the mark set by God. The black lines are the godly boundaries set by godly Maori leaders.
White and Blue represent Israel Black and Red represent Maori The colours intertwined represent the godly unity made possible through the blood of the King Messiah Yeshua. The grey background is the sin affected world that we are called to minister to.
Tzit Tzit (tassels of the prayer shawl) represent the Word of God, held together by Yeshua (the blue shamash, servant strand). The 5 knots are Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy. Each of the rings of cord wrapped between the knots represent books of the Bible
