https://hebrewnations.com/features/vol24/3630a.html#a2
Don Isaac Abarbanel (1437-1509) considered the Book of Isaiah to be the most important of the Prophetical books in the Bible. In his opinion Biblical Prophecy has 14 goals.
Abarbanel: The 14 Principle Aims of Prophecy are:
1. Divine Retribution
That God will take revenge from those who harmed Israel.
2. Vengeance from Esau.
That revenge be taken against Edom and "Batsra" e.g. Bosrah cf. Isaiah 34;6:
3. The Salvation and Redemption of Israel and the ingathering of the exiles.
4. THE TEN TRIBES WILL RETURN.
5. Coming out of Egypt as a Prototype.
The future Redemption will be similar in many aspects to the Redemption from Egypt.
6. There is a time limit after which Redemption has to come, deserved or not.
7. That the Redemption will occur a very long time after the Exile.
8. The Return of Prophecy.
In the time of Redemption the Divine Presence and Prophecy will once again be found amongst the Israelites.
9. Wayward Jews will Return to Judaism.
10. Messiah son of David.
11. No More Exile.
12. Jerusalem will Teach the World.
13. There will be universal peace.
14. Resurrection of the Dead.

3. More on the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot).
This year Shavuot takes place from sunset June 2, 2024 to sunset June 3.
Shavuot in Hebrew is also known as "Atseret." This has been explained as meaning 'refraining, holding back' or of "closure" (the close of a season) but it could also imply "assembly."
Shavuot is
one of the biblically ordained Three Pilgrimage Festivals.
In Biblical Times every male Israelite had to go up to Jerusalem three times a year and this was one of them.
When Jeroboam son of Nebat led the Ten Tribes to separate from Judah he wished to stop this practice. Jeroboam therefore
instituted new Festivals of his own making (1-Kings 12:32). He also prevented those members of the LTTs who wished to go up to Jerusalem from doing so.
Shavuot marked the wheat harvest in the Land of Israel in the Hebrew Bible according to Exodus 34:22.
It was also the day on which the offering of the first fruits began.
On Shavuot we celebrate the Giving of the Torah.
In many synagogues Religious Jews learn all night on the night leading into Shavuot.
There is a tradition to eat dairy products on Shavuot.
In many synagogues the Biblical Book of Ruth is read.
The Assemby of King Asa in Jerusalem is beleived to have taken place close tot he time of Shavuoth.
2-Chronicles (TCT) 2:
1 AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD WAS UPON AZARIAH THE SON OF ODED.
2 AND HE WENT OUT BEFORE ASA AND SAID TO HIM, "HEARKEN TO ME, ASA AND ALL OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN; THE LORD IS WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU ARE WITH HIM, AND IF YOU SEEK HIM, HE WILL BE FOUND BY YOU, BUT IF YOU FORSAKE HIM, HE WILL FORSAKE YOU.
3 NOW THERE WERE MANY DAYS FOR ISRAEL WITHOUT A TRUE GOD AND WITHOUT AN INSTRUCTING PRIEST, AND WITHOUT THE TORAH.
4 AND THEY RETURNED TO THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, WHEN THEY WERE IN DISTRESS, AND THEY SOUGHT HIM, AND HE WAS FOUND BY THEM.
5 AND IN THOSE TIMES, THERE WAS NO PEACE FOR ANYONE GOING OR COMING FOR THERE WERE GREAT TURMOILS UPON ALL THE INHABITANTS OF THE LANDS.
6 AND NATION WAS CRUSHED BY NATION AND CITY BY CITY, BECAUSE GOD DISCOMFITED THEM WITH ALL TROUBLES.
7 BUT YOU BE STRONG AND LET YOUR HANDS NOT SLACKEN, FOR THERE IS REWARD FOR YOUR WORK."
8 AND WHEN ASA HEARD THESE WORDS AND THE PROPHECY OF ODED THE PROPHET, HE STRENGTHENED HIMSELF AND REMOVED THE ABOMINATIONS FROM ALL THE LAND OF JUDAH AND BENJAMIN AND FROM THE CITIES THAT HE HAD CAPTURED FROM MOUNT EPHRAIM, AND HE RENEWED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD, WHICH WAS IN FRONT OF THE VESTIBULE OF THE LORD.
9 AND HE GATHERED ALL JUDAH AND BENJAMIN AND THOSE DWELLING WITH THEM FROM EPHRAIM AND MANASSEH AND FROM SIMEON, FOR MANY OF ISRAEL HAD DEFECTED TO THEM WHEN THEY SAW THAT THE LORD THEIR GOD WAS WITH THEM.
10 AND THEY GATHERED TO JERUSALEM IN THE THIRD MONTH OF THE FIFTEENTH YEAR OF ASA'S REIGN.
11 AND THEY SACRIFICED TO THE LORD ON THAT DAY OF THE PLUNDER [THAT] THEY BROUGHT; CATTLE, SEVEN HUNDRED, AND SHEEP, SEVEN THOUSAND.
12 AND THEY ENTERED THE COVENANT TO SEEK THE LORD, THE GOD OF THEIR FOREFATHERS, WITH ALL THEIR HEART AND WITH ALL THEIR SOUL.
13 AND WHOEVER WOULD NOT SEEK THE LORD, THE GOD OF ISRAEL, SHALL BE PUT TO DEATH, FROM THE SMALLEST TO THE GREATEST, WHETHER MAN OR WOMAN.
14 AND THEY SWORE TO THE LORD WITH A LOUD VOICE AND WITH SHOUTING, AND WITH TRUMPETS AND WITH SHOPHAROTH (shopher - rams' horn).
15 AND ALL JUDAH REJOICED OVER THE OATH, BECAUSE THEY HAD SWORN WITH ALL THEIR HEART, AND THEY SOUGHT HIM WITH ALL THEIR WILL, AND HE WAS FOUND BY THEM, AND THE LORD GAVE THEM REST FROM ROUND ABOUT.
16 AND ALSO MAACAH, KING ASA'S MOTHER, HE DEPOSED FROM [BEING] THE QUEEN BECAUSE SHE HAD MADE A FRIGHTFUL IMAGE FOR AN ASHERAH, AND ASA CUT OFF HER IMAGE, CRUSHED IT AND BURNT IT IN KIDRON VALLEY.
17 THE HIGH PLACES, HOWEVER, WERE NOT REMOVED FROM ISRAEL, BUT ASA'S HEART WAS PERFECT ALL HIS DAYS.
18 AND HE BROUGHT THE HALLOWED OBJECTS OF HIS FATHER AND HIS OWN HALLOWED OBJECTS TO THE HOUSE OF GOD-SILVER, GOLD, AND VESSELS.
19 AND THERE WAS NO WAR UNTIL THE THIRTY-FIFTH YEAR OF ASA'S REIGN.

Brit-Am/Hebrew Awareness is a positive cause.
Jacob (aka Israel) Kept the Law of Tithing: Jacob linked his tithing to a Return to the House of his Father. We can do the same.
Genesis (NIV) 28:
18 EARLY THE NEXT MORNING JACOB TOOK THE STONE HE HAD PLACED UNDER HIS HEAD AND SET IT UP AS A PILLAR AND POURED OIL ON TOP OF IT.
19 HE CALLED THAT PLACE BETHEL, THOUGH THE CITY USED TO BE CALLED LUZ.
20 THEN JACOB MADE A VOW, SAYING, IF GOD WILL BE WITH ME AND WILL WATCH OVER ME ON THIS JOURNEY I AM TAKING AND WILL GIVE ME FOOD TO EAT AND CLOTHES TO WEAR
21 SO THAT I RETURN SAFELY TO MY FATHERS HOUSEHOLD, THEN THE LORD WILL BE MY GOD
22 AND THIS STONE THAT I HAVE SET UP AS A PILLAR WILL BE GODS HOUSE, AND OF ALL THAT YOU GIVE ME I WILL GIVE YOU A TENTH.
MALACHI 3:
10 BRING ALL THE TITHES INTO THE STOREHOUSE,
THAT THERE MAY BE FOOD IN MY HOUSE,
AND TRY ME NOW IN THIS,
SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS,
'IF I WILL NOT OPEN FOR YOU THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN
AND POUR OUT FOR YOU SUCH BLESSING
THAT THERE WILL NOT BE ROOM ENOUGH TO RECEIVE IT.
Proverbs 3:
9 HONOR THE LORD WITH YOUR WEALTH
AND WITH THE FIRST OF ALL YOUR PRODUCE,
10 SO YOUR BARNS WILL BE FILLED WITH ABUNDANCE,
AND YOUR VATS WILL BURST OPEN WITH NEW WINE.
We understand that whoever helps Brit-Am will be blessed from Heaven.
