THE CRITTER COUNCIL
THE OPENING SCENE
“Gather close, Little Lambs. The Council has called a meeting.”
We are the creatures of the Earth. Lambs, sheep, squirrels, beavers, deer, birds, mice, gophers, otters and all the little creatures that remember what the Earth was meant to be.
We did not come looking for another grand temple made by human hands. We came looking for a people whose hearts would honor YHWHY.
So we gathered beside the living waters, beneath the trees, with the ancient scrolls open before us.
The Council asked one question:
“Where are the Shepherds? And where are the Little Lost Lambs?”
FROM GAN EDEN TO THE BIG MIKVAH
The elders among the animals tell the young ones that once, long ago, the Earth knew another order.
The creatures walked according to their kinds. The waters were full. The trees gave their fruit. The birds knew their seasons. The lamb knew where the Shepherd was.
Then came the generations, and the great waters of Noach. Our ancestors entered the Ark according to their kinds.
But after the waters receded, the generations spread across the Earth. Migrations carried us through time. The Moediym marked their appointed seasons. Yet eventually many forgot what they had once known.
The animals remember something else: the Creator does not require a palace built by human hands in order to be near His people.
THE LITTLE LOST LAMBS
The critters looked across the Earth.
“Something has happened,” whispered the squirrel.
Humans have forgotten the great Name. They have wandered into confusion. Love has grown cold. Obedience has become optional.
And everywhere are Little Lost Lambs.
Lambs who know there must be more. Lambs looking for Shepherds. Lambs looking for Elders. Lambs looking for a community of uprightness.
The Council called these people Tzadoqiym and Qedeshiym — people seeking to be Set Apart.
THE FIRST LESSON
Discipleship begins with hearing. It continues with loving. It becomes visible through obedience.
YHWHY ELOHENU
YHWHY ECHAD
VE’AHAVTA ET YHWHY ELOHEKA
BEKOL LEVAVEKA
UVEKOL NAFSHEKA
UVEKOL ME’ODEKA
Hear, O Yisra’el: YHWHY is our Elohim. YHWHY is ECHAD.
And you shall love YHWHY your Elohim with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.
THE SQUIRRELS FIND ELDER VANCE
One evening the squirrels were searching YouTube.
SEARCHING…
LISTENING…
REVIEWING TEACHINGS…
SEARCH COMPLETE.
“Stop the machine!” shouted one squirrel.
“What did you find?”
“An Elder.”
The Council reviewed the teachings, the recordings, the Scriptures and the work being assembled.
They contacted Elder Vance, a MeleqZtadoq Natser, a branch of YAHSHUA, and the Council entered into the work of ShalomDome.com.
“Now,” said the oldest squirrel, “we need engineers.”
THE BEAVERS GOT BUSY
“Enough talking,” said the beavers.
“If the lambs need a place to learn, somebody has to build it.”
So the beavers began engineering.
They built the ShalomDome. They built the Embassy of YHWHY. They opened the Library of Ancient Words. They connected the Qodesh Scripture Timeline.
TIME → PERIOD → PEOPLE → WRITINGS → TEACHING → AUDIO → VIDEO → ARCHIVE
The great archive became the memory of the community, while ShalomDome became a place where people could actually learn, meet and participate.
SHALOMDOME ACADEMY OF YHWHY
THE SCHOOL OF DISCIPLESHIP
THE SCHOOL
This is the teaching side of the work.
The purpose of discipleship is not merely to collect information. It is to learn the Instructions of YHWHY, understand the Scriptures, walk in righteousness, and serve according to the calling given by YAHSHUA.
DISCIPLESHIP • TRAINING • SERVICE
Existing School information should remain here, including courses, lessons, requirements, instructors, ordination information and application instructions.
THE CRITTER COUNCIL EXPLAINS
“A school?” asked the little mouse.
“Yes,” said the Elder.
“But what do we learn?”
“First, we learn to hear.”
“Then?”
“Then we learn to love.”
“Then?”
“Then we learn to obey.”
The beaver nodded.
“So the School is not just a building?”
“No. The School is a people being taught how to walk together.”
The lambs moved closer.
“Then perhaps,” said the smallest lamb, “we have finally found the Shepherd.”
THE LITTLE LOST LAMBS ARE INVITED
Learn. Explore. Seek Discipleship. Study Torah. Serve YAHSHUA. Walk with the community.
ORDINATION APPLICATION ENTER COMMUNICATION CHAMBERTHE COUNCIL’S INVITATION
If you are one of the Little Lost Lambs scattered across this Earth, you are invited.
Come learn the True Names. Come learn His Instructions. Come study the ancient words. Come meet the community. Come enter ShalomDome.
Come find the people who are learning to walk as Tzadoqiym and Qedeshiym — Set Apart in heart, word and deed.
YAHSHUA, the Resurrected ONE, ECHAD, is the center of the teaching.
And if a squirrel tells you that a beaver built the fourth-dimensional Academy… listen carefully. He probably has the blueprints.
