In the education of our daughters we lay the foundations of a strong Hebrew community. She will be the support her husband will need and the mother her children will look to for love and direction. If educated well in the word of God and the use of knowledge and wisdom, both practical and spiritual, she will be able to provide the counsel and leadership skills needed to build a strong and successful family. By her confidence and practical application of the law of God, she will be able to take counsel with her husband, manage the affairs of the home, invest in enterprises that create wealth and social progression for her husband and children, and care for the poor in a spirit of love and meekness. These are traits that were revered in ancient Israel and admired in all nations. Women of this caliber are considered mothers of their nations and models that inspire both men and women to thrive for excellence (Proverbs 31:10-31).
This kind of ability in the use of the mind and strength of spirit is built by the love of a father and the wisdom of a mother along with the support of the elders of their families, who give guidance to help establish a strong family unit. This is what builds legacy and history, both of a family and a people.
And it all start with the tradition of reading and applying God's law found in the Bible throughout the family structure. The father being the head of family is directly responsible for his daughter's spiritual and mental development. He must, in a spirit of love, attention, and vision, execute a curriculum that will enable her to be a godly woman, a fit wife, a loving mother, and a vital member of her community. He must be wise in assuring that she receives the instructions she will need from her elders to be a head of household and to have the courage to lead her family. The father must instill this confidence in her by love, so that she may walk out the path God has set for her without doubt or fear. He is her first protector, teacher, and constant supporter. And she in obedience to the teachings of her father goes forward and builds her house with her husband.

The Israelite Abiding Movement has three objectives for the purpose of building up God's Holy People: 1. To lift up the Father and Jesus Christ, the Lord. 2. To Teach the Truth of God's Holy Word- the Bible 3. To gather the Flock or people of God together unto the Day of Christ-the Last Judgment.

Seeing
You opened my eyes
and the light came in
My understanding sharpened
I looked around and it all started to make sense
This world is both physical and spiritual
Seen and Unseen
Both working by Your power
to do your will
When I knew this I wanted to tell the world
like a new convert eager to speak-
Listen, I said, I found a way for me and you
to see beyond what is real,
beyond the flow of everyday,
beyond what we've been told
This is the true new world- come and see
They listened but did they all hear?
Then You asked me, "Did you hear? Are you truly hearing?"
So I stopped and think a little
And I asked myself are you seeing?
Are you hearing?
Are you living what He's saying?
Are you like them? Or are you fighting to go higher?
Do I just believe He exist? Or do I do as He says?
Have I attained perfection? Am I striving for godliness?
Because in the end He is coming to receive the godly.
Psalm 101: 6,7,8

New Leader
In our journey with Christ and through this physical world, we will be called to lead others and to be under leadership. This is because God, who rules in human history, establishes leaders and removes leaders to bring about his purpose. Therefore, if we are called to be leaders, we should seek to know and understand God's will for this office. And if we are called to be under leadership, we should recognize what a godly leader is and how we should follow.
The following points will help define the expectations of new leadership and what's expected of those under leadership according to God's word.
The new leader:

2 Tim. 2:1-2
1 Maccabees 3:1-2

Titus 3:10,11
Daniel 4:37

The following points will help define the expectations of new leadership and what's expected of those under leadership according to God's word.
The new leader:
- Is brought into leadership due to God's change of time.
- He is deemed fit to succeed his predecessor, having similar abilities of the past leader.
- He holds to the vision and objectives established for the people by God, which the former leader pursued in his time.
- He is wise in developing his inner circle and gathering to him those from the former administration that are committed to the vision and objectives for the people
- He is aware that his most valuable support comes not from man, but his God, who has appointed him leader for this time.
- The leader with his entire team willing and cheerfully undertake the responsibility and challenges of obtaining the said objective or vision.
- He is a man of faith, knowing that God will never fail him, nor forsake him in his quest to achieve the vision.
- He is devoted to seeking God's teachings and direction by meditating on God's words day and night.
- He provides constant and clear communication to his officers, who are responsible for guiding the people under them. This chain of communication is strong and trustworthy-Leader, to officers, to people.
- He holds his officers accountable of their duties to the people. He expect all to be honorable in keeping their word, so that peace and trust flourishes.
- He teaches those he leads to always seek to do good to their fellowman- " do unto others as you would have them do unto you (Matt. 7:12)," is his mantra.
- He develops and select new leaders and officers who will be able to carry on the vision-he chooses other men of faith.
- They must be willing to support and follow the new leader
- They acknowledge the succession of leadership from the past leader to the new leader. They are resolved to follow him as they did the past leader. Because they know that true authority is given by God.
- They expect the new leader to be godly. He must be under the authority of the Lord God. And they desire this for him, so that his instruction and support may come from God.
- They know that the new leader is not above God and he is subject to God.
- They expect the new leader to be humble in his position of leadership, avoiding pride and abuse of his authority.
- The follower believe, according to God's word, that the success of the people depends on the uprightness of the new leader and his officers.
- The follower who refuses to be under the new leader or rejects his instructions, after the first and second corrections must be remove from among the people. For they will impede the success of the vision for the people. This tenet is supported by all the people.
