Our prayers (& readiness to offer ongoing spiritual support) are with you who loved Erik Hite.
Isaiah 57:1-2 RSTNE
The tzadik/ righteous man perishes, and no man takes it to lev/ heart:
and merciful and kind men are taken away, none considers that the tzadik/ one who does right is taken away from the evil to come.
1805 Sometimes early departures from this age are to escape the evil ahead and prepare the saved for the age to come.
2 He shall enter into shalom: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his tzedakah/ Righteousness.
1806 Eternal life. To the believer, Yahushua is our Righteousness.
Psalm 116 RSTNE
3870 YHWH is the cup of our salvation.
I love YHWH, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.
2 Because He has inclined His ear to me, therefore will I call upon Him as long as I live.
3 The sorrows of death surrounded me, and the pains of Sheol came upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.
4 Then called I upon the Name of YHWH; O YHWH, I beg You, deliver my being.
5 Full of unmerited favor is YHWH, and He is tzadik; yes, our Elohim is full of rachamim/ mercies.
6 YHWH preserves the simple: I was brought low, and He helped me.
7 Return to your rest, O my being; for YHWH has treated you well.
8 For You have delivered my being from death, my eyes from tears, and my feet from falling.
9 I will walk before YHWH in the land of the living.
10 I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted:
11 I said in my haste; All men are liars.
12 What shall I render to YHWH for all His benefits toward me?
13 I will lift up the cup of Yahushua/ YHWH’s Salvation, and call upon the Name of YHWH.
14 I will pay my vows to YHWH now in the presence of all His people.
15 Precious in the sight of YHWH is the death of His kidushim/ saints.
3871 To the believer death is a precious event, ending in glorification, and immortality.
16 O YHWH, truly I am Your eved/ servant; I am Your eved, and the son of Your female eved: You have loosed my chains.
17 I will offer to You the sacrifice of hodu/ thanksgiving, and will call upon the Name of YHWH.
18 I will pay my vows to YHWH now in the presence of all His people,
19 In the courts of YHWH’s Bayit, in the midst of you, O Yahrushalayim/ Jerusalem. Hallel/ Praise YHWH.
James 1:27 RSTNE
Pure and undefiled service to Abba YHWH is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the olam hazeh/ This Age, Or This World. 5450 In a Hebraic mindset, it is not merely believing that displays a man's character, but his performance of what he believes, as opposed to a mere mental assent to facts.
