10-25-08 (26 Tishri 5769)	Torah Study #1	Bereisheet =Beh-ray-sheet “In the beginning.”
Torah Readings: Genesis 1:1-6:8 (KJV)
Topic: Topic: A perfect Creation led into deception by sin. Humankind began living under a Curse. Earth is our testing ground for the Father that you may become Yeshua Jesus’ Bride. Be a light unto the world by your walk (Halachah)
We shall examine the darkness of sin as it came into the new creation with the fallen angels and the sins of Adam which brought confusion into God' Creation. Jesus as the Light of the world provided to repentant man his Salvation.
Lessons:
TORAH
Torah Genesis 1:1-6:8 (KJV) The seven days of creation provide a template for the 7000 year plan of God. A day = 1000 years (Psalm 84:10; 2 Peter 3:8). The Creation was spoken into being by The voice of God using the Hebrew language.
Hebrews 11:3 (KJV) “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV) “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.”
How can we understand this darkness (see 5767 Parasha 1 to understand the fallen angels and the creation gap).. Darkness is sin, disobedience, to be wicked, and out of fellowship with God.
John 1:5 (KJV) “And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” 1 John 2:8-11 (KJV) “Again, a new commandment I write unto you, which thing is true in him and in you: because the darkness is past, and the true light now shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 11 But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”
Isaiah 45:79 (KJV) “I form the light and create darkness, I bring prosperity and create disaster, I the LORD, do all these things” In Chiastic Hebrew poetry the Lord is telling us that Light is prosperity and that darkness reflects disaster." Note the Chiastic structure. Darkness is disaster!
John 3:19-21 (KJV) “ 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reprovedc. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
.Genesis 3:1-19 (KJV) Adam opened the door for our willful choice for sinning. We live in a fallen creation. The curse upon us is sin if we fall from God’s blessings. Sin is our self imposed nature to seek self-esteem/self-sufficiency. Sin is death. If we sin we are lawless. Satan is the “man of lawlessness.” Sin serves the “man of lawlessness.” Satan masquerades as an angel of light.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 John 3:4 (KJV) 4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
John 8:34 (KJV) 34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
James 4:17 (KJV) 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Romans 3:23 (KJV) 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Romans 8:7-9 (KJV) 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Galatians 5:19-21 (KJV) 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
There is a spiritual battle between forces of light and darkness for your soul. Only 2 eternal destinies and one free-choice to everlasting life.

James 4:7 (KJV) 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
1 John 3:8 (KJV) 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
1 John 3:10 (KJV) 10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.
1 John 1:9-10 (KJV) 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

TANACH
Psalm 103:1-15(KJV) Powerful words from the 1st Covenant …Tanach brings today’s Torah study to conclusion. God had a restoration plan from the beginning….But it took 7 literal days to complete and we are in a millennial process of completion now! ...end of the 6th day.

The Holy Spirit, sent from God the Father, recruits you to Jesus. He indwells within you as God's cloud by day and pillar of fire by night and empowers you with the gifts and callings of God.
Remember, you are the light of the world, the salt of the earth. Don't loose your light or saltiness. In full fellowship with Abba your light drives out all darkness from the Temple of your heart, but if you light fades as a room nightlight then darkness creeps into your Temple and you are out of fellowship with God. You now have a Breath in fellowship with God. But through Christ with repentance you are restored.

11-01-08 (3 Cheshvan 5769)	Parasha Study #2	Noach “Noah"
Parasha Readings: Genesis 6:9-11:32
Topic: Restoration of the fig tree to the brotherhood of Messiah Yeshua Jesus. Noah’s extended family thru the sacrifice of the Lamb becomes one in Christ.
The mystery of the Tanach’s hidden Yeshua Jesus is the “seed” to a desolate pagan Gentile world.
Today, we see two thousand years of Gentile Christianity and the clock is soon to return to Israel in the 70th week of Daniel.
RESTORATION OF ISRAEL TO YESHUA JESUS
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 9: 1-17 (KJV) Multiply …be fruitful X2… Noah's offspring give rise to the nations [table of 70 nations from the Sons of Noah (Genesis chapter 10)].
Noahic Covenant …reproduce to replenish the Earth, avoid spilling innocent blood, eat not of flesh containing blood (improper killing, strangled), thou shall not murder.
Don't these requirements sound similar to the Acts council ??
Acts 21:25 (KJV)25 As touching the Gentiles …. "save only that they keep themselves from things offered to idols, and from blood, and from strangled, and from fornication."
These are the "God-fearer" rules for the Gentile nations?? Noah was a Gentile. Similar yes ???....but similar...No as there is a significance difference between Noahic Covenant and the recommendations of the Acts council!
Acts 15:20-21 (KJV)20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood. 21 For Moses of old time hath in every city them that preach him, being read in the synagogues every sabbath day.
Knowing salvation through Yeshua Jesus these "God -fearers" were exposed to the Jewish customs, traditions and Torah. Leviticus in Torah outlines the clean and unclean food laws, that they may elect to follow for Torah obedience to show their love of Christ ( "If you love me keep my Commandments")....not because of Jewish legalism.
"eat all foods"??? Verse 3..meat SH # 402 אָכְלָה [’oklah /ok•law/]; food, meal, eating. An object of devouring, consuming. As discussed, there were guidelines on food of idols and containing blood. No shedding of innocent blood (abortion) and no fornication.
Verse 13…What was the token of the covenant?......“Bow”also seen in Revelation 4:3 (KJV) "3 And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald. Also a rainbow is seen in the color scheme of of the days of creation."
.

Haftorah
Isaiah 54:1 (KJV) ……Rejoice barren Israel sing aloud ….Why?? Israel the “chosen” is spiritually unfruitful amongst the many nations of the world……but the desolate woman is fruitful, who according to Hebrew reckoning is the despicable, desolate, pagan, non-Jew (desolate SH 8074 שׁמם shâmêm shaw-mame‘) One, who in summary, is to bring wonder from that which is a waste, devastated or desolate people to an amazement, astonishment as to stun in wonder. For more are the spiritual children of the desolate.
Isaiah 54:2-4 (KJV) Rejoice barren Israel sing aloud ….Why?? Rejoice as your future is hopeful. (as Jabez… 1 Chron. 4:10)
Thy “seed” is Yeshua Jesus who inherits the Gentiles and restores the desolate cities of Israel.
If Israel is a widow…….. Who died? What did Caiaphas tell the Jewish People? (John 18:12-14); John 11:49-52 (KJV)
Isaiah 54:5-10 (KJV) Who is the Redeemer of Israel? Abba has an everlasting covenant with Israel. The Jew have patiently awaited the restoration to occur under Messiah. Abba has been longsuffering for the restoration of all Israel under Messiah.
Jesus also is upset, wrought, with Israel’s unfruitfulness & unfaithfulness.. Matthew 21:18-20 (KJV) The fig tree was cursed forever for salvation is not by the works of the law but by belief and faith in the risen Savior, the Redeemer of Israel.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Now, the Apostle Peter addresses the spiritually barren Israelites. Jews from all 70 nations of the world whom were in Jerusalem when Peter, being filled with the Holy Spirit , proclaimed to the Jewish nation Salvation is only through Christ. Acts 2:22-24 (JKV) Palm 16:8-11 (JKV) Peter cites King David looking forward that his soul not be left in hell. The Jew understood that King David was a prophet. Acts 2:25-36 (KJV) What shall we do? Confess Yeshua Jesus as Lord of your life and be baptized in His Name...that is the promise to all you and your children for generations to come. Acts 2:-37-42 (KJV)..We all await Messiah’s return. Baruch haba B’Shem Adonai
Abba is bringing all nations to Christ and lastly Israel.

11-08-08 (10 Cheshvan 5769)	Parasha Study #3	Lech lecha “Go out”
Parasha Readings: Genesis 12:1-17:27
Topic: Just as Abram was to “go out” from his homeland to do Abba’s commission …so also are we to “go out.” Mark 16:15-16 (KJV) 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
Abraham did “go out” as he believed God’s spoken Voice…..The just (righteous) live by Faith. All things are possible for him that believes (Mark 9:23 (KJV)
Lessons:
TORAH
The Voice of The Almighty God called Abraham, a pagan, out of Ur of the Chaldees unto a Promise Land that was to be his home by an agreement between him and God through an unconditional Covenant. Abraham is the Father of Faith. The 1st Covenant saints were justified by Faith… (Book of Hebrews chapter 11). They had the Faith of Job -- “I know my Redeemer lives”
Job 19:25 (KJV) “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:”
The unseen God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is a real living God. We assuredly know this by Faith.
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) “1 Now faith is the substance (reality) of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”
Hope is to look forward to a desire … a trust/reliance on an expectation. Faith is the reality/Truth of that expectation. Faith is the putting of a concreteness to an expectation.
Faith ….an example: John 20:24-29 (KJV) Note: Jesus’ Glorified Body …and when He shall appear we shall be likened unto Him. Thomas needed tangible proof of the reality of the risen Christ. Jesus tells them and us what is the substance of real faith. "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed. (John 20:29)
God’s Promises: Make thee..Abram… a great nation (Gen. 12:2; Gen 13:16) Numerous offspring Gen. 15:4-6 (stars), Num. 23:10A (dust); Heb. 11:12: Hosea 1:10A (sand). God’s promise is based on Abram's Faith but he must be patient & wait for fulfillment.
Genesis 15:4 (KJV) 4 And, behold, the word of the LORD came unto him (Abraham) , saying, This (Eiliezer) shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. (italics mine)
Yes, the promised "seed," the Messiah, the Redeemer of mankind was to come from the loins of Abraham.
Genesis 16:1-12 (KJV) Were Abram and Sarai getting impatient? Shouldn't they be comforted by the Word of the Lord? Where was Sarai’s Faith? …..More astonishing where was Abram’s Faith?
Was Ishmael to be that prophesized “seed?” What becomes of Ishmael? He is the cornerstone of the Islamic nations.
What is His temperament? Genesis 16:11-12 (KJV) "11 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, Behold, thou art with child, and shalt bear a son, and shalt call his name Ishmael; because the LORD hath heard thy affliction. 12 And he will be a wild man; his hand will be against every man, and every man’s hand against him; and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren."
Is this not the temperament of Islam...violence....anti-Semitism...Hate.. Destruction of the Sabbath keepers and the Sunday Church people. What is the Islamic/Israeli relationship today. ..non-existence of Israel.
How many Christians in world? (about 1.5 billion in 2003 and getting less every day); Jews? (about 14 million) Islamic? (about 2 billion or 1/3 of the earth's population. Prophecy fulfilled!
Genesis 16:10 (KJV)10 And the angel of the LORD said unto her, I will multiply thy seed exceedingly, that it shall not be numbered for multitude.

Haftorah
Isaiah 40:1-11 (KJV) We see, dimly, a hope…a flickering light…Restoration of Israel amidst great conflict in the Middle East with Israel surrounded by 21 hostile Islamic nations and infiltrated by the PLO. Be comforted for Messiah will come. His 1st coming is described in verse 3.... "for a voice came crying in the wilderness." …and restoration was first for the non-Jews through Christ....The Church age came into being. In verses 3-4 we see the 2nd coming of Christ to the Jew and to all mankind, as the strong Right Arm of the Lord, the Good Shepherd..
Have Faith ..Everything will be rearranged for the Glory of the Lord shall be revealed! Generations come and go but God’s Word is forever. God's Holy spirit amongst man is eternal. Israel, your Redeemer lives! The Right arm of the Lord shall rule as a Good Shepherd.
Remember that the 66 Books of Isaiah is a miniature Bible??.. So that Isaiah 40:3 = Matthew 3:3!

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 3:21-4:5 (KJV) Paul describes the righteousness of God being made available to Jew and non-Jew, but the only way to justification is through Yeshua Jesus. Salvation by a personal Faith relationship with Yeshua Jesus; Justification is not by works of Torah. Torah give the guidelines and instruction, as a schoolmarm would led us to live in holy and sanctified lives. Its our plumb line!
Romans 4:16-18 (KJV) 16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were. 18 Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.
Prayer of Faith
James 5:15 (KJV) 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Gift of Faith
Matthew 18:19 (KJV) 19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Mark 11:24 (KJV) 24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Also see: Matthew 18:19-20; John 14:13-14; Mark 11:23-24; Philippians 4:19; Mark 9:23
The Just shall live by Faith
The Faithful will keep oil in their lamps to be separated from the pride and lust of the worldly body of Christians. These faithful Overcomers shall remain in a covenant sanctified relationship with Abba through His Son, Yeshua Jesus, and shall be kept Torah-observant by the Holy Spirit. They shall go with a shout and a Shofar blast to the Coronation and Wedding of Messiah. The worldly Church in its seduction, strife, pride and Jezebel spirit will be without oil and "left-behind. The Faithful shall go Home.

15-08-08 (17 Cheshvan 5769)	Parasha Study #4	Vayera “And He appeared”
Parasha Readings: Genesis18:1-22:4
What day is today on the Hebrew Calendar??....God's wrath!
Genesis 7:11-13 (KJV)11 In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. 12 And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights. 13 In the selfsame day entered Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah’s wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark;
Are you prepared in spiritual maturity for that day?
17th Cheshvan is today’s Sabbath (2nd month 17th day on Jewish civil calendar) Look up your redemption draws neigh.
Topic: And He, Yeshua Jesus, appeared as The Mighty Arm of the Lord bringing Deliverance, Salvation, Creative Miracles, Liberation from Egypt and Judgment. As children of God seek spiritual growth…don’t remain a child always… become a Son of God and serve the Father.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 19:13-28 (KJV) Worldly evil, fornication, lust prevailed in the 10 plain cities. They were as it was in the days of Noah
What are the days of Noah and the days of Lot. Luke 17:28-37 (KJV) We are also in Egypt…..look at the state of the world, our nation, our churches. How do they compare with the days of Noah and Lot… Today, where is the Body of Christ? In a religion… “lukewarm” …..apostate…not as a betrothed virgin Bride in waiting. Salvation is sealed in a personal relationship as is a betrothal. Don't divorce yourself from God.
Look up ….. for your redemption draws nigh.
Are you ready??

Haftorah
2 Kings 4:8-17 (KJV) Elisha, as a chosen “mature” agent of the Lord brings God’s power amongst the Gentiles. A miracle to bring life into a barren woman… Abba works through His agents (His sokhen, His paters, His father-like ministers). You are also commissioned by The Almighty God. Nothing is impossible with God. Be spiritually mature. You are a sokhen…help your brother.
Grow in Spiritual maturity .....Leave the outer court and enter the inner court. Transform from being a "new" Christian on milk to a God-servant on meat....... Enter the inner court by the baptisms of the Holy Spirit ....by water...by fire and into the Body of Christ
Receive your gifts and calling.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Galatians 4:1-9 (KJV) A child of the Lord is spiritually immature even though he be an heir. What is your tutor/governor? ….. The Holy Scriptures.
Go from milk to meat by feeding on the Word of God and the Holy Spirit will give you spiritual eyes and ears. Some will be greater and some lesser in the Kingdom of God. Matthew 5:18-20 (KJV) To the mature, much shall be given, but it comes with responsibility! .. We bear accountability on Earth for our worldly responsibilities…. So also is God’s Kingdom.
Luke 12:48b (KJV) "For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more."
Come out of Sodom and Gomorrah! Achieve Spiritual Maturity …where are you? Who me???? Spiritual Maturity …Where are you?
Let us examine the linguistic richness of the Greek language as used in Paul's writings to portray this process of childhood growth from milk to meat. A child (children) is expressed in many different Greek words to reflect increasing levels of maturity of the growing child. Nepios ….. Paidion ….. Teknon …..
Eventually, you mature to be a Son of God and responsible heir…… a Huios …….. So that you can do the kingdom work as a Pater … a teacher
Note this progression in the scriptural text ...develop that Spiritual Maturity from the Word of God …where are you? Your Commission is as mature Christians to do the Kingdom work of bringing the Gospel of Peace (unity) to lost souls.
Romans 10:14-15 (KJV) 14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? 15 And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!

Parasha Readings: Genesis 23:1-25:18 … 1 Kings; John 4; Matthew; Luke (Gospel John 19)
Topic: Destiny of Man…. Once to live then to die.. What is life?....Who am I?? What is my purpose? Do I have an eternal destiny??
What is life?
Ecclesiastes 3:1-10 (KJV)1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: 2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; 3 A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up; 4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; 5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing; 6 A time to geta, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; 7 A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak; 8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace. 9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth? 10 I have seen the travail, which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.

Dust to dust!...We are as vapor! James 4:14 (KJV) 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away We become as withereth grass……..a fadeth flower
Isaiah 40:6-8 (KJV) All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 8 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

(16) For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been. (17) But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. (18) And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it. Joe l 3:19-21 (KJV) Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. (20) But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. (21) For I will cleanse their blood that I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in Zion.
Abba Father knowing the beginning from end speaks of the foreknowledge of God as to our eternal destiny. In today’s Parasha, God is addressing His foreknowledge of Esau (Edom).
Examples of Genetic heterogeneity ….Multiply and be fruitful
Jordanians Esau (Edom, Indumaeans) Sons of Lot (Ammon/Moab) Midianites (Arabs in 2 migrations)....Sons of Keturah & Arabs supporters of Laurence of Arabia Ishmael (Muslims)
Israelites Diaspora or Ephraim/ Judah…an assimilated Northern Kingdom (Ephraim) & Southern Kingdom became as the "wandering Jew." Now a re-gathering in the land and identification of the "lost sheep" with finding the Sephardim and Ephraim in the Church.
England and France infiltrated with Muslims to genetically influence the native population socially, governmentally, spiritually, ideology (anti-Semitism, anti-Christian) and genetically.
The Body of Christ Galatians 3:28 (KJV) 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus..

Parasha Reading: Genesis 28:10- 32:3; parts of Hosea and John
Topic: .and Jacob went (we go) out to make choices… our choice …either the broad road or the narrow road! Arise my Love…. The Kingdom is to Come…Home to the Olam Haba.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 28:10-22 (KJV) A dream ..from God. Demonstrates angels entering/leaving our time-space domain. “Seed” to be dispersed to 4 corners. Way-markers (dolmens) (Jer. 31:21) Bethel “House of God. Jacob is given the promises of Abraham and Jacob himself enters into a mutual covenant with Abba.
from Prophecy in the News News
Hosea 12:12 (KJV) And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.
Why in Hosea is Jacob called Israel when he leaves Bethel for Syria? Was not his name officially given as Israel after wrestling with "an angel of the Lord" (Jesus) on the river Jabbok. Being Jacob, he was a man of the flesh and a supplanter but as Israel he is a spiritual man in covenant with God. (verses 14-15;20-22)INTERESTING!!

Haftorah
Hosea 14:1-9 (KJV) Who is Ephraim….assimilated amongst the melo ha Goyim….. ? Is he the Church? Is the menorah (the seven branched candle stick) the outcome of the culminated Church of the "lost Israelite"-Gentile intermarriage over the past 2000 years? Restoration of Ephraim is by return to Torah (Debar) and renounce idols. He is the Firstborn of resurrection
Jer 31:9 (KJV) They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
How shall Israel (Ephraim ) be restored? By being an Overcomer in grace with faith and truth. How do we (the CVhurch) become Overcomers? By faith , hope and charity …GREATEST is LOVE
1 Cor 13:13 (KJV) And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
An Overcomer has no darkness in him. He that hateth his brother walks in darkness and there is no light in him.
Col 3:13-15 (KJV) Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. (14) And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. (15) And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 1:15—18 (KJV)….An Introduction
John 1:29-34 (KJV) Jesus and John are cousins …Who is the elder? As cousins John is 6 months the elder. Yeshua Jesus is eternal existing before the foundations.
John 1:43-51 (KJV) Jesus came as the Son of God …the Son of Man .. that we might also “sit under the fig tree.” .....A Hebrew idiom for the eternal Kingdom of God. Not all Christians will "sit under the fig tree." Which Christians will see the fig tree? Only those Overcomers whom have no guile. When do Overcomers see the fig tree in immortal, imperishable bodies? .....Only after a Resurrection/Rapture.
Revelation 4:1-5 (KJV) Who do the seven lamps represent ?….Revelation 1:20 (KJV)..... see the Bible explains the Bible. The Church is before the Throne of God even before any seals are opened!
Revelation 5:6-14 (KJV) Who are the elders?
Examine these characteristics of the Elders: and see it it "don't ring as bell" (an American idiom)
White robes…of righteousness Crowns… for crowning accomplishments received at the Bema seat judgment. They are symbolic of the authority of Kings....Royal Priesthood of saints. Priesthood of Melchizedek Christ's Bride as commissioned to be his helper in Kingdom rule and judging angels....
Where are they from (verse 9). They are the redeemed from the 4 corners of the Earth The Overcomers in the Church! The were redeemed by th Blood of the Lamb.....OVERCOMERS.

Parasha Readings: Genesis 32:4-36:43; Hosea 11:7-12:11; Hebrews 11:1-40; 1 Cor. 5:1-13 ;Revelation 7:1-12
Topic: Wrestling with God ….. He wants a spotless, righteous Bride in white linen. .. as the Tribulation Saints are before the throne of God (Rev. 7-9-14)
The tribulation saints suffered unto death to get their white linen...They would not deny Jesus and take the "mark of the beast."
Achieving the wholeness of your Salvation is by trials and tribulations! Being an Overcomer.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 32:22-32 (KJV) Struggling with the angel of the Lord. Jacob in the flesh; Israel in the Spirit. (Jacob…man of the flesh…..Israel …spiritual man in covenant with God). In the flesh, we wrestle with God as a man in bondage to sin, but as a New Creation Believer, we are not to be driven by physical or fleshly desires, but are led of Holy Spirit in our walk (Halachah).
We are Spirit filled…being Holy Spirit filled. How does God wrestle with us to bring us into His righteousness?

Haftorah
Hosea 12:1-8 (KJV) Ephraim is “full of hot air.” He keeps evil/unclean company. Likewise, Jacob is in disobedience and into Idolatry. The Lord will struggle with the House of Jacob as He struggled with the patriarch Jacob/Israel. House of Jacob=House of Judah (Southern Kingdom) (the Jew) and House of Israel (Northern Kingdom, Ephraim) (Church).

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 Corinthians 5:1-13 (KJV) They were “lukewarm” as they tolerated fornication amongst themselves.... even in their congregation. Are they even in your congregation? Deliver the fornicator for destruction to Ha’ Satan… Perhaps the tormentor will cause him to repent and the Holy Spirit will prevail in his life. Evil is as leaven! Cast out evil amongst you. Touch-not..taste-not of the works of evil.
Ephesians 5:11 (KJV) 11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (KJV) 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Two Chastisement Processes : 1. Chastisement unto repentance….A restoration of a Christian living outside of fellowship with the Father. 2. Purification and tempering (as tempered steel) by Baptism by fire. Abba is building up His Army of loyal, obedient followers just as Job was tested by Satan.
Is chastisement from Abba or Satan? There are suffering, trials, tribulations and disease as a consequence of sin wherein Abba is bringing you to repentance and restoring your fellowship with Him. Satan hates you as you were created in the Image of the God (Elohim) ..Satan enjoys beating-up on humans. Satan’s chastisement is disease (physical, mental and spiritual) and devastation of living circumstances (finances ,job, marriages, etc). Satan wants you to have a distorted body, spirit and mind.… and live in misery.
In Baptism by fire God refines you as in preparation for ministry or a calling…”A Job thing.” Abba chastises you to bring you into the image of His Son, Jesus … Glory to Glory.
Suffering as Chastisement for sin. The Lord “chastens” those who profess to be His children. Here we observe the Father’s Chastisement for sin to restore our family relationship of fellowship with our Creator. His chastisement is for your learning process of correction to mold your character (soul) by reproof and admonition (trials/tribulations) to scourge or purge you of evil and unrighteousness.
Hebrews 12:6-8 (KJV) 6 For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. 7 If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? 8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Revelation 3:19 (KJV)19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (Hebrews 12:6-8)
James 1:2-4 (KJV) 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
Remove sin from your Temple. All sin makes you fall short the Glory of God and his word is not in us. Yet, We are never 100% perfect ..as evident by our need for an Intercessor, a High Priest, Who this day sits at the Right Hand of the Father. We so easily let sin creep into our lives. (1 John 1:8-10)Work on Wholeness of your Salvation… to near perfection! Take every thought captive
Examine your thoughts…Your Spiritual barometer
Question Source???...self…God… or demonic? If from God….. they edify God and are consistent with the WORD and are for your repentance. They are simple and orderly without confusion. If from soulish self ....... they edify you… your self importance , self esteem. They bring attention to yourself…. “look at me.” If from demons .....they contradict God’s Word, are destructive to self and brother (Body of Christ) and create confusion, disorder and strife.
Christ said that persecutions would come upon us, the just man (a Job type of suffering and sickness). We were to see sufferings, hate, torture, trials, difficulties and death. All these are inflicted upon the Christian from the outside, causing weariness, sleepless nights, homelessness, poverty, rejection and abandonment. All these Jesus, himself, experienced while at the work in His Gospel ministry. Our suffering is as Christ suffered from torment and persecutions of the world and our fellow man.
The Lord refines us, as molten gold under the fire, by trials and tribulations to bring our lives in line with the WORD of God that we may assume the image of Christ. This is the Baptism of Fire to remove the dross from the righteous, a “Job thing” ….. Satan is allowed to test your faith with devastation and disease…. A testing of the deep recesses of your soul. Baptism of Fire is induction into righteousness. It is Abba preparing you for a higher calling. To whom much is given much is expected. (Luke 12:48).
Psalm 118:17-18 (KJV) 17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the LORD. 18 The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me over unto death.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10 (KJV) 9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.
2 Corinthians 1:5-6 (KJV) 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation (comfort, encouragement) also aboundeth by Christ. 6 And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation.

Summed in one word…..LOVE ….Stay the virgin Bride-to-be… He is coming shortly!
We are living in a time, in a generation, of which the Bible speaks more about than any other time or to any other generation.

Doubting Thomas and Gideon

TORAH
Genesis 37:3-11 (KJV) Joseph’s dreams. Did Joseph’s brothers and Parents have questioning thoughts about Jacob’s dreams?
Joseph is a phenotype of Yeshua Jesus. These dreams were fulfilled when Joseph was the overseer over all of Egypt, sitting at the right hand of the pharaoh as ruler over all the land of Egypt. These prophecies are yet to be fulfilled in Christ when He establishes His millennial reign. Another prophecy is found in Joseph's coat of many colors. Just as Joseph was prophesized to be a branch to the Gentile world, so also is the Coat of Many Colors a prophecy that Joseph's seed would be spread amongst the Gentiles as the dispersed Northern Kingdom, Ephraim.

Prophetic humor of Holy Spirit!
How does God talk with us?
Direct voice of God … (prophets) Appearances (Christophanies .. Theophanies) But mostly through Holy Spirit Scriptures that give insight A “Still soft voice” as thoughts, an awakening conscience. Circumstances placed in your life Send a Brother / Sister / donkey Visions, dreams (Joseph) Entertain angels as ministering spirits….messengers

Haftorah
Amos 3:1-8 (KJV) How is Israel being used in the text? ..... As the House of Israel or the Nation? Abba is addressing the Nation for their stiff-nakedness, disbelief and iniquities.
Amos writes in Hebrew prose using rhetorical puns:
Two walking: Agreement=disagreement...strife A roaring lion: You are wimps for you crying without purpose A bird & snare: Your works are futile Afraid to the Shofar: Your are disordered, afraid because of your idolatry which is not of the Lord's doing.
Again Israel is a stiff-necked, uncertain, people of wavering faith. In contrast, The LORD is loyal to his own. Alluding to the prophetic…
Abba now speaks in the prophetic. Who is the Lion to roar?

Topic: The mystery of the grafted branches in the vineyard revealed as the mystery of Joseph: A clue to your identity as a firstborn in Christ to receive the Kingdom promises…The Mystery of Ephraim as a fruitful branch is you.
A chip off the Royal Priesthood BRANCH!
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 41:37-52 (KJV) Last week, we saw Joseph as a phenotype representing Messiah Ben Joseph. Today, we are introduced to Joseph as Messiah Ben David. Joseph’s name in Hebrew means “may God add,” “increase” …. He portrays a “type of Christ” and depicts both Christ’s 1st & 2nd Coming. He begins as Messiah Ben Joseph, as a servant slave in Egypt and rules as Messiah Ben David, as agent of the Pharaoh. He is given a new name (Zaphenath-Paneah...meaning Savior of world; Giver of nourishment of life; revealer of secrets). The names of his sons also tell us about Joseph:
Manasseh means …"51 For God, said he, hath made me (Joseph) forget all my toil, and all my father’s house." (to forget; to be forgotten; to cause to forget) Ephraim means "52 For God hath caused me (Joseph) to be fruitful in the land of my affliction." (Twofold increase; very fruitful; doubly fruitful).
How is Joseph a phenotype of Christ?
 Miraculous birth. .. by Hand of God  Grew-up despised by his brothers.  Rejected by his own brothers.  A shepherd.  Sold for shekels of silver.  A servant in Egypt … Messiah ben Joseph.  Tested but did not sin..  Charged of evil doing, but innocent of all charges.  At age 30 years, begins work in Egypt.  A ruler in Egypt.. Messiah ben David.  A righteous agent of the Pharaoh-King (at his right hand).  A fruitful vine (Joseph=Ephraim’ seeds =Church).  Comes to a perishing world … a great famine was coming for 7 years,  Provides life & sustenance for the Gentiles and his brothers .  Takes a Gentile-pagan wife.  Has two half-breed Gentile Children (are Gentile believers today “half-breeds”) .  Re-gathers his brothers to himself in the time of their distress..  Shows mercy and grace on all who will accept Him. (Jew or Gentile, Jew or Melo Ha’Goyim).  Sustenance of life (“food man” gives life to Egyptians) vs. Christ’s manna of eternal life….
Joseph as the "food man" of the world. His granary in Egypt.

Mystery of Joseph is Ephraim:
 How does Ephraim obtain favor in Abba eyes?
Jeremiah 31:6-9 (KJV)6 For there shall be a day, that the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to Zion unto the LORD our God. 7 For thus saith the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish ye, praise ye, and say, O LORD, save thy people, the remnant of Israel. 8 Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travaileth with child together: a great company shall return thither. 9 They shall come with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn. Jeremiah 31:18-20 (KJV) 18 I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; Thou hast chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn thou me, and I shall be turned; for thou art the LORD my God. 19 Surely after that I was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote upon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach of my youth. 20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spake against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy upon him, saith the LORD.
 How does Ephraim become re-gathered as a branch?....Ephraim (House of Israel) is a prophetic branch! A clue to our identity!
Hosea 14:8 (KJV) 8 Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I (Yeshua) am like a green fir tree. From me(Yeshua/Holy Spirit) is thy (Ephraim) fruit found. Jeremiah 2:20-21 (KJV) 20 For of old time I have broken thy (Israel, Ephraim) yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. 21 Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me? .... A Judeo-Christian conversion?
. We Gentiles are the wild olive branch (strange branch).
Romans 11:17-19 (KJV) 17 And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in among theme, and with them partakest of the root and fatness of the olive tree; 18 Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee. 19 Thou wilt say then, The branches were broken off, that I might be graffed in.

Haftorah
Zechariah 3:1-10 (KJV) A prophecy and a Messianic parable?? Who is the angel of the Lord?.. Who is the Lord & Lord of hosts? Who is Joshua? ..a fire-brand?? (a coal or wood ember, a burning branch) Clue: Joshua is a branch plucked out of the fire in filthy garments….. He is given New Garments (Are these white linen?) and a miter (a diadem crown) on his Head ....... Now who is Joshua? His is made a Priest and King of Priesthood of Melchizedek along with his fellow king/priests.
Who is the Branch? THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. And…Are we to be in His image?
Jeremiah 23:5-6 (KJV) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth. In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is his name whereby he shall be called, THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 33:15 (KJV) In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land. Isaiah 11:1 (KJV) And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: Zechariah 6:12 (KJV) “And speak unto him, saying, Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, Behold the man whose name is The BRANCH; and he shall grow up out of his place, and he shall build the temple of the LORD:”
Now ..Who is the Branch? And…Are we to be in His image?

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 6:30-40 (KJV) Jesus is the our manna …He gives us the the bread of life… Our spiritual "food man." He, alone, provides our sustenance our pathway provision for eternal life in the Olam Haba. …to “sit under the fig tree.” When the Branch takes His branches into the Kingdom, they shall see Abba Face to face.
Be a righteous branch in the image of Christ, being echad with the ROOT- BRANCH.

Genesis 45:1-21 (KJV) " "I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt" ....Were Joseph’s brothers bewildered, "troubled," being confronted by the “ruler” of Egypt?
…..“troubled” SH #926.. to tremble inwardly (or to have cardiac palpitations), that is, alarmed or agitated; hasten anxiously: - be afraid, amazed, dismayed, troubled, vexed.
Joseph has no condemnation, remorse, or unforgiveness. My destiny was and is in God’s Hand…
Our destiny is in God’s hand.... be obedient children.
I, Joseph, will nourish thee…provide sustenance… Egypt's prophetic “food-man.” The Pharaoh, who knew Joseph, welcomed his family into the land of provisions.
Reconciliation of Jacob's family is prophetic of another Joseph phenotype, Messiah ben David, Who will reconciliation of the World. under one ruler.

TANACH
Ezekiel 37:21-28 (KJV) Does God have a re-gathering plan …a plan of reconciliation of the “lost Israelites?” Where is their place of reconciliation? Under whose rule? One Shepherd?....Who?
This end time re-gathering, which already is beginning in both houses of Jacob, is a culmination of the Promise given to Abraham.
Just as Abba's judgments were upon the Egyptians prior to the Exodus as a testimony to His Might and Glory, so also will the nations behold His mighty intervention in the re-gathering, as a witness to the heathen.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
2 Corinthians 5:14-21 (KJV) How are we all dead? ..... By the first Adam, we die in sin, but in the second Adam, we are reconciled to the Almighty Father through the Blood of Yeshua Jesus. The Father needed a propitiation price, a sin offering to bring us home to His Kingdom. Yeshua was that "Lamb of God" Who took away the sins of humankind, that all whom believe in Him will have everlasting life.
This is the Gospel message of Salvation.
Live not self-centered but Christ-centered.
"Hence forth," "Wherefore henceforth," " henceforth," "Therefore". …..is there a neon light message here?? ... Yes, Paul next gives us what that the future therefore means...that we in-Christ are a "new creation" and "18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;"
Keep your focus on being "Christ-centered." You leaving your fleshman behind and being reconciled and made anew, is assurance that through Yeshua’s death, you are one with the Father. The propitiation price has been paid! …. "tetelestai" it is finished ....no sin debt!...paid in full.
2 Corinthians 5:20 (KJV) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. You are given a mandate!...commissioned! ... to a Ministry of Reconciliation.
What is that Commission?
Mark 16:14-20 (KJV) A commission to be an Agent of the Lord. …..You are commission as believers to be Ambassadors of the Gospel Message to the four corners of the compass. Salvation for the believers and damnation for the nonbelievers. In the NAME OF JESUS, you are fully empowered by the Holy Spirit to cast out demons, bestow the Gifts and Callings, be kept from harm of the serpent/devil, and heal the sick. You are Agents of Yeshua Jesus, being filled and empowered by the Holy Spirit to do the same work(s) that Christ did.
Ambassadors
• Ministry of Reconciliation is our commission • Yeshua Jesus .. Commissioned us to the mandate of Reconciliation. • Abba Father makes His appeal to us through Christ. • Yeshua Jesus is the only way ..the narrow/straight path to Abba Father. • Christ is an OT mystery; now revealed as our Intercessor, High priest and Reconciler. • Stay Christ-centeredness, don't fall into the legalism of the law …as salvation is that the just (righteous) live by faith.
The Israelites under Moses failed in their Commission: Exodus 19:6 (KJV) "And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation."
Today......The tables are turned! …. Where do you stand? Have you heard (Shema) and responded to Abba’s Calling?


Have you led anyone to Salvation?

TORAH
Let’s examine Jacob’s heritage to his sons, which are prophetic blessings.
Genesis 47:28-48:22 (KJV) Grandsons become sons. Jacob’s prophetic blessings over Joseph’s sons impact on us. Joseph means “ may God add”, “to increase.” The fulfillment of fruitfulness of Joseph is through his sons. These lads “grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.” “Multitude of nations” = Ephraim. “A people, exceedingly great” = Manasseh.
Evidence of Fruitfulness of Joseph is thru Ephraim:
 Joshua (Oshea) son of Nun was an Ephraimite. (Num. 13:8)  One of four tribal banner leaders in assembling the nation.  Northern Kingdom ruled by Ephraim; Southern Kingdom by Judah.  Code name standing for all of Israel’s 10 northern tribes.  OT code word representing “lost tribes” & can be found in Church… Today’s redeemed of the Lord.  Can you see how …. Joseph means “ may God add”, “to increase”
Birthright…rights of the first-born: Receives father’s blessing; Leader & Priest of family. “Double portion” is an inheritance 2X that of other sons.
Joseph's sons received the family birthright thru transference of Joseph' blessings.
1Ch 5:1-2 (KJV) Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father's bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright. For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph's:)
A double Blessing with the Birthright Blessing …..but also extra portion to Joseph?
Gensis 48:22 Moreover I have given to thee one portion* above thy brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorite with my sword and with my bow. SH7926 שׁכם shekem Genesis 33:18 (KJV)* And Jacob came to Shalem, a city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Padanaram; and pitched his tent before the city. Genesis 33:19 (KJV) And he bought a parcel of a field, where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem's father, for an hundred pieces of money. ….. and called it El-Elohe-Israel (the Mighty God of Israel) John 4:5 (KJV) Then cometh he (Jesus) to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph. Joshua 24:32 (KJV) And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel brought up out of Egypt, buried they in Shechem, in a parcel of ground which Jacob bought of the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for an hundred pieces of silver: and it became the inheritance of the children of Joseph.
Hence, they could not cast lots for this land in Shechem at Jacob's well, as it was foreordained to belong to Joseph (Ephraim)
Firstborn examples:
Yeshua Jesus ….“firstborn amongst the brethren” (Rom. 8:29); “firstborn of all creation (Col. 1:15); Church of the first born (Heb. 12:23) “firstborn from the dead” (Rev.1:5); “firstfruits of the resurrection” (1 Cor. 15:20)
Ephraim is my Firstborn (Jeremiah 31:9) Receives Father God’s Firstborn blessing (Jeremiah 31:9); His "First-born" Birthright as a son of Joseph is to be fruitfully dispersed amongst the Melo Ha' Goyim (become the nations of the world and to become priests of that family (white linen) & kings (Crown) of Jesus' Priesthood of Melchizedek, achieving the Royal line through being the Bride. His “Double portion" is manifest in his progeny”.. These “lost Israelites” accounts for multitudes of Abraham's progeny (Sands/Stars/Dust) being hidden away in a fertile incubator.
Jacob's Blessings to his twelve sons. Genesis 49:1-28 (KJV)
The Blessing of Jacob .....Each of the Jacob’s sons receives a blessing from him. These assist us in understanding Ephraim by Jacob’s prophetic Blessing of Joseph.
1. Reuben (49:3–4): He is as unruly as the stormy sea and is demoted because of his immorality. 2. Simeon and Levi (49:5–7): They are violent men given to anger and cruelty, so their descendants will be scattered throughout Israel. 3. Judah (49:8–12): He will be praised by his brothers and will defeat his enemies. The scepter (royal line) will not depart from him “until the coming of the one to whom it belongs.” 4. Zebulun (49:13): He will live by the seashore and become a harbor for ships. 5. Issachar (49:14–15): He will work with animals and till the land. 6. Dan (49:16–18): He will be like a snake beside the road. 7. Gad (49:19): He will defend himself against all enemies. 8. Asher (49:20): He will produce rich food fit for kings. 9. Naphtali (49:21): He will be as free as a deer. 10. Joseph (49:22–26): He will be like a fruitful tree beside a fountain, blessing others. He has been persecuted, but he has been strengthened by God. He will be blessed by God and will be a prince among his brothers. 10. Benjamin (49:27): He will devour his enemies like a hungry wolf.
Prophetic impact or take home message these Fruitful Blessings
Well watered fruitful bough by a well. extends his boundaries over the wall of Judea into hostile country. Is this the battle bow of Ephraim (Zec 9:13). Wields a strong right arm. Blessings prevail as given by the Almighty God. Blessings from heavens/deep/beasts/womb; A crown on His Head..... A king from Ephraim??? Remember that the Church (Bride) = Priesthood of Melchizedek. Joseph’s arm made strong by strength from God “from thence” is the fertile ground for the "stone of Israel"...Yeshua Jesus , The shepherd. The Mighty God over the flock of Ephraim!

Haftorah
1 Kings 2:1-4 (KJV) David passes on Kingdom with words of wisdom. Keep Torah and all will go well. What about Solomon’s obedience??……. You know the rest of the story! Solomon’s heritage to us as concluded from school of hard knocks:
Ecc 12:13-14 (KJV) Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 9:16-17 (KJV) Jesus Heritage to us. We are freed from sin’s death penalty to have eternal life as heirs to the Father.
Heb. 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified…..
That’s us!! …Heirs of a Royal Priesthood. Heirs as Bride! I’m going to prepare a place for you…
This Tanach mystery revealed in the New Testament (Brit Chadasha)
1 Peter 1:3- 12 (KJV) You, believers, on this side of the cross are privilege to the Gospel message of salvation (sozo) thru the inheritance of Christ with empowerment by the Holy Spirit to be His Ambassadors. . The prophets of old wrote anticipating, but never seeing what, today, is your free gift. Your inheritance was provided by the Blood of Jesus. O Death where is thy sting?
1Cor. 15:54-58 (KJV) So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Topic: A commission is given Moses…… Agency …. “Called-out” ones; “Sent-out” ones. Sokhen/Shalach/You. Yes, the Holy Spirit is leading you to have fruitful works unto the Lord.…deja’vu as this is the Holy Spirit's message to us for the past 3 weeks....
Perseverance in faith tempers the steeling of the mind …an alignment of the soul-spirit–body connection to the WORD of God.
Be Abba's Agent... don' serve yourself or man. We are not of this world.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 3:6-17 (KJV) Can you see the neon lights?? “Sent”….4X……..send…send…send…send?
שׁלח shâlach shaw-lakh‘ to appoint, to send (away, forth, out), set, shoot (forth, out), sow, spread, stretch forth (out).
Moses a God??? Exodus verses 4:16; 7:1. As an agent, you have full power & all authority of the person who sent you. Moses was the earthly representative of God. Moses was God through agency.
Agent (sokhen nm) From Jewish law of Agency (Talmud : Ned. 72b; Kidd. 41b)“ An agent is regarded as the person himself. ” An agent acts for one in higher authority with the full authority of the one who sent him (Principle person); any act committed by a duly appointed agent is regarded as having been committed by the principle person, who therefore, bears full responsibility on the part of the agent.
Examples of intercessors or agents: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob (Israel), Joseph, Moses, Joshua, Kohen ha’ Gadol, Elijah, the prophets, Yeshua Jesus, the Apostles, disciples, …….. …….. You in-Christ fit these shoes?? …The harvest is ready & the workers are few !!! Yes, we are empowered by Ruach HaKodesh (the Comforter sent by Yeshua Jesus). We as disciples, work under the same agency power as Jesus received!
Acts 10:38 (KJV) 38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
As we read further into the Exodus Torah reading, you will appreciate the difficulty a agent bears. Seek answers to these questions: Were all the Israelites in Egyptian bondage in agreement to leave with Moses in an exodus? The plagues were against the Egyptians’ gods to convince the Pharaoh Dudimose to “let My people go.” Did they convince the Pharaoh? Did the miracles of God convince a “stiff-necked” people of Abba’s Awesome Power and Might? Did they convince the Egyptians? the sojourners? God is working thru His agent, Moses, used these plagues to temper the people and to bring Glory unto Himself. That is the purpose of agent ...to glorify God Almighty.
Exodus 14:4 (KJV) And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he shall follow after them; and I will be honoured (heavy, prevail & subsequently be glorified) upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host; that the Egyptians may know that I am the LORD. And they did so.
		Moses was called-out by the "I Am" of the burning bush to be a sent-out one in full agency of the Creator God.

Haftorah
My people die for lack of Knowledge amidst false preachers, teachers and prophets as they are apostate, drunken agents of no worth ..unclean and covered with vomit.
Isaiah 28:7-13 (KJV) The spiritual leaders of Jerusalem were “out of the way" (Hebrew idiom …gone astray…erred)… They were drunkards gone astray from Torah being disobedient and idolatrous. Your priests & prophets are not My Agents. Everyone’s memory needed to be refreshed to their alliance to the Almighty Creator God & His WORD! There is no sound doctrine for the innocent child. Return to the literal doctrine of Torah.
Where does Christianity stand in America today..... Do we need committed godly agents to bring the whole counsel of God (Old and New Testament ) back to the people of the nation(s) today? We need to restore the ancient foundations of our Christian faith.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
The Apostle Paul’s calling. Acts 9:1-9 (KJV) An Awesome encounter with Yeshua Jesus. Paul had a “burning” vengeance toward the new Gospel of Salvation. He considered Yeshua to be a rebel Jew…the founder of “the Way” cult … Saul set-out to eradicate the Christian movement of Messianic Judaism conversion.
God can use any one…even those that persecute His people.
Why was Paul so well versed in Abba’s Plan of Salvation……Galatians 1:10-20 (KJV).
Abba calls us to a Ministry of Reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (KJV) 18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; 19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. 20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. 21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Our Commission and Empowerment…..
Luke 24:43-49 (KJV) 43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me . 45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, 46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day : 47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem . 48 And ye are witnesses of these things . 49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high
Acts 1:6-9 (KJV) 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power . 8 But ye shall receive power , after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth . 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. 23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained .
Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth . 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Mark 16:14-18 (KJV) 14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature . 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned . 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues ; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
John 14:12-14 (KJV) 12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father . 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son . 14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
John 20:21-23 (KJV) 21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you . 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost :

You in-Christ and filled with the Holy Spirit are commissioned agents and ambassadors of Yeshua Jesus. LOOK... the fields are white with the harvest. Yes, the harvest is ready & the workers are few !!!

Topic: “And I” (Yeshua Jesus) appeared to gather all my fish and none shall leave My hand nor My Father’s Hand…. Mixed metaphors fish/sheep?
The sheep/fish are the “Way,” Christians, Messianic Judaism, the Body of Christ.

TORAH
Exodus 9:13-24 (KJV) The Almighty God does signs and wonders in Egypt greater than those of the sorcerers and magicians of Pharaoh. The Pharaoh was raised up for just that day to show God’s Awesome power. Abba uses both good and wicked agent to do His work. …. but the wicked agents serve another god. He sets rulers in their place for just that day!... A Pharaoh who knew Joseph not…..Dudimose, the Pharaoh of the Exodus.
Note that many of the Egyptians are heeding to the words of Moses and put their cattle and servants in shelters. Those that did not hearken to God's Word were struck with death by the fire and hail.

Haftorah
Ezekiel 29:1-6 (KJV) Who was force (agent) behind Pharaoh. Can Satan be allowed to Influence you ? To enter you? (Luke 22:3; John 13:2; Acts 5:3 ). These were Christians: Judas, Ananias/Sapphira and Matthew 7: 21-23 ("I never knew you" so-called Christian) Judas was an empowered disciple as one of the 12 sent out (Mark 6:7, 12-13). Can God’s spirit leave you? God’s Spirit left Saul (1 Samuel 11:6)
Who are the fish sticking to the dragon who is behind the Pharaoh's authority? Is it not the prince of darkness, Satan. These "sticky-fish" are apostate Christians. They will have the same demise as whom they serve...The Feast of Leviathan.
Reptilian Metaphors/ Allegorical writings: Dragon/Leviathan ..A creature of the reptilian kingdom …
Who was Satan in the Garden of Eden ..a walking, talking, lying serpent. That “old serpent” was an “angel if light” …. Lucifer (“light bearer”); Hellel (“brightness). )… prideful deception. Makes the lie become the truth. Revelation 12:9 (KJV) 9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Isaiah 27:1 (KJV) 1 In that day the LORD with his sore and great and strong sword shall punish leviathan the piercing serpent, even leviathan that crooked serpent; and he shall slay the dragon that is in the sea. …“And I (Jesus) appeared” ….. as the strong right arm of Lord to slay dragon. What is the Sword He uses? (Rev. 19:11-17 (KJV).
Who desires to yoke you to become a child of the darkness? Who desires to keep you from being an agent of Yeshua Jesus? Don't be that fish that sticks to the Leviathan….or the one yoked to him as you shall become like those with whom you are yoke yourself … Again today, these are trying times for the “fish” ..Put on the Armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-16). All those associated with the dragon ("sticky-fish")shall perish in the Feast of the fallen Leviathan. Rev 19:17-18 (KJV) And I saw an angel standing in the sun; and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all the fowls that fly in the midst of heaven, Come and gather yourselves together unto the supper of the great God; (18) That ye may eat the flesh of kings, and the flesh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on them, and the flesh of all men, both free and bond, both small and great.
Now let’s examine the fish ….Ramez …
Matthew 4:19 (KJV) "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." Ezek 47:1,9-10 (KJV) The living waters from the millennial temple shall “heal” them (fish) and nourishing of all that lives.
Are all vessels equal? Two choices … ..................Agents of God empowered by Holy Spirit ..................Agents and servants of the Prince of darkness But Abba knows since foundations of the world.
2 Timothy 2:20-22 (KJV) Recover yourself from snare of the devil. Don’t be a “sticky” fish. Be that vessel of honor!
If you sojourn, fellowship or study with a deceiver, unbeliever or skeptic, you shall become like them !!!! Your heart will harden as is theirs. Your walk will lead you away from the Father...You shall be deceived just as they are !!! You become like the master you serve. First, Serve the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Gospel of John 21
John 21: 1-6(KJV) Verse 3 It is very interesting that the disciples are found fishing (in the dark), at The Lord’s third appearance to them. Verse 5 Note, that Yeshua Jesus says “children.” Jesus is standing in the position of a father, and what does a father do for his children? Provide (food, shelter, protection…)
John 21:7-11 (KJV) Verse 8 SG# 4083 Pechus- The forearm (as a measure) a cubit. ...Cubit- 1 ½ -2 feet long x 200 cubits = 300-400 feet...about the distance of a football field! Verse 9 The fish and the bread are brought together? The fish are the Believers (the “Way,” Christians, Messianic Judaism, the Body of Christ).
Verse 11 …Kof- behind, last, least, back of head, holiness, HOLY ONE, growth cycles = 100; Nun- life, downfall and rising again, fish, faithfulness = 50; Gimmel- culmination, kindness, pride = 3 .....equals 153. In the Paleo-Hebrew this means The fish of the HOLY ONE are His pride: the culmination of the reason that Yeshua Jesus can to redeem man.
Gamatria 153 Other considerations of the hidden meaning of the 153 fish that did not break-out or get separated from the fish net. They are to be kept in Jesus' Hand and the Father's Hand.
 Greek gamatria ichthues for “fish” is 8 X 153  Also in Greek gamatria “net” is 8 X 153.  Greek gamatria for sunkleeronomoi (“joint-heirs) is 7 X 153.  The Earth was to be inhabited by righteous man ….. .. Greek gamatria for Ktisis Theou, “the creation of God,” is 8 X 153.  In Gospel of John Jesus is presented as Passover Lamb…Pasach… Hebrew gamatria =153  Sons of God Beni Ha-Elohim is 153  Christ directly blessed 153 special individuals in the Gospels.
John 21:12-17(KJV) Verse 12 Not only does the Messiah re-gather his people, but has them eat with him as well. Verse 14 The third appearance is a confirmation to his disciples Verses 15-17 …SG# 25 Agapao- To love, (be-) love (-ed). Yeshua Jesus' kind of love (God's kind of love). Peter’s love. SG# 5368 Phileo- Kiss, love. Man's kind of love
John 21:18-25 (KJV) Verse 19 “Follow me” Mathew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. Verse 24 John is the disciple which testified of these things(The life of YESHUA JESUS)

Exodus 12:1-13 (KJV) Now, two Hebrew calendars? On the 10th of Nissan during the day time, a Passover lamb is selected. Passover is defined by Hebrew Yom reckoning as Erev 14th Nissan (end of day 13th Nissan). How many days was the Passover lamb with the family & examined for perfection?…..3 1/2 days …a day =a year...the length of Christ's ministry! Smite the firstborn of all creatures ……unless a blood covering.
Exodus 12:22-23 (KJV) 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
What was the purpose of the Passover Lamb? Where is the Blood today?
Can the uncircumcised eat the Passover Seder?
Exodus 12:48 (KJV) 48 “And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.”
Are we circumcised to eat the Passover Seder? Circumcised where?
Colossians 2:9-11 (KJV) 9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. 10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: 11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
Romans 2:27-29 (KJV) 27 And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? 28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: 29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.
The blood is on the doorpost of our heart in that we have a heart of flesh not of stone. We are thus also circumcised not in the physical but in the spiritual by the Holy Spirit who dwell in the Temple of our heart.

Daughter are in reference to the prophetic…futuristic. ..mother/daughter .... They are a generation distant from one another. Are there any other daughters in Tanach?
Daughter of Zion Daughters of Jerusalem Daughters of Judah Daughter of Babylon Daughters of Moab Daughters of Edom Daughter of Philistines Daughter of my dispersed Daughter of Troops.
In today’s Torah reading, Egypt is under God’s wrath of plagues. Now, we see another prophetic judgment is upon on Egypt by the Babylonians.
Israel has an end time plan….A destructive fate awaits Egypt….Isaiah 19; Ezekiel 29.
Promise from Tanach: …I Come to restore captivity taken captive….with the Sword/Right Arm . Know your Bible for its prophetic events.
Romans 15:4 (KJV)4 For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope. Ecclesiastes 1:9 (KJV)9 The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes 3:15 (KJV)15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth* that which is past. * (requires us to search out) Isaiah 42:9 (KJV)9 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth I tell you of them.
Yet, future in our time, will be partial fulfillment of Jeremiah 46 with a one world government ruled by a “hissing” antichrist Pharaoh...The Assyrian, a Greco-Roman of the Royal blood line.

Acts 13:14-39 (KJV) Paul is preaching the Gospel message in the synagogue on the Sabbath. He reviews an Emmaus Road experience of the “chosen people” to know their Messiah, Yeshua Jesus. Whom are his Sabbath audience?.. Jews, Messianic Jews and Gentiles [God-fearers (verses 16 &26)]....That folks is the 1^stcentury Church which is best represented today by the Hebraic Christian congregations founded in Torah and Hebrew roots.
The promise is from the seed of David but His own knew Him not verse 27. Yeshua Jesus was raised from the dead, and hell could not hold a just, righteous Torah observant Jew. He, that defeated the curse penalty of Adam and Torah, now justifies us, as the Son of God, the prophetic Passover Lamb whose blood covers our heart.
By My blood & stripes you are SAVED (SOZO). For all who come to Me will have everlasting life. means in the Greek to be preserved from evil, to be delivered from the death curse of Torah, to be cured or made well (healed, made whole, recover), to be restored from a fallen Adam, to be preserved to be under the fig tree)

2-07-09 (13 Shevat 5769)	Parasha Study #16	Beshalach “When he sent”
Parasha Readings: Exodus 13:17-17:16 ; Judges 4:4-5:31; Romans 6:1-23; John 6:25-35; 1 Cor. 10:1-13; 2 Cor. 8:1-15; Revelation 15:1-4.
Topic: The wicked shall perish by the Hand of God & Abba may use God’s people, as His agents (Beshalach) (Moses/Deborah-Barak) to accomplish their destruction. By God’s mercy and grace, we who “are not a people” become a people in-Christ as Sons of God and Kingdom Heirs. God conquers for His people.
Psalm 118:4-8 (KJV)4 Let them now that fear the LORD say, that his mercy endureth for ever. 5 I called upon the LORD in distress: the LORD answered me, and set me in a large place. 6 The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me? 7 The LORD taketh my part with them that help me: therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.
Walk not after the world (flesh) but after the Spirit of God.

TORAH
Exodus 13:17-14:9 (KJV)… The Exodus was in 1447 BC. When God sent Moses (Beshalach), Moses took up his staff and split the Red Sea at the site of an sandy land bridge crossing. God conquers for His people.
Issues: Why harden the Pharaoh's heart? .. just let “bygones be bygones!” Number of People? Route of the Exodus? Where is the crossing site? Where is Mt. Horeb (Mt. Sinai)?
The number of people in the Exodus including the age-specified fighting men, their wives, their children, those over 60 years of age, the Levites and those who joined the Israelites (sojourners) consisted of a mixed-multitude of about 3 million people lead by Moses.
Pharaoh owed the Hebrew slaves; both he and Moses were in agreement to take a 3 day journey into wilderness to worship the God of Abraham, Isaac & Jacob and to return to Goshen. When Pharaoh died in Red sea, the Hebrew slaves were free.
Psalm. 136:10-16(KJV)10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever: 11 And brought out Israel from among them: for his mercy endureth for ever: 12 With a strong hand, and with a stretched out arm: for his mercy endureth for ever. 13 To him which divided the Red sea into parts: for his mercy endureth for ever: 14 And made Israel to pass through the midst of it: for his mercy endureth for ever: 15 But overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red sea: for his mercy endureth for ever. 16 To him which led his people through the wilderness: for his mercy endureth for ever.
With loss of Egyptian army & Pharaoh, Egypt entered the second intermittent period under non-Egyptian rule by the Hyksos.

Route of the Exodus? Where is the crossing site? Where is Mt. Horeb (Mt. Sinai)?


Haftorah
Judges 4:14-24 (KJV) Who won the victory for Barak? What happens to the wicked Sisera? What two women did the Lord use mightily?
Is this a picture of end time prophecy? Will an antichrist ruler from the north with advanced weapons of warfare fall upon Israel? Deliverance will be by God Almighty….A deadly head wound????
The wicked shall perish and Shalom shall prevail in Judea.
God conquers for His people.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 6:1-14 (KJV) Guard your salvation with fear and trembling. Baptism is a symbolic death reminder of dying to sin. The Spirit of God keeps us on the narrow road away from destruction, if we use Torah as our schoolmarm to be holy as He is Holy. We shall be in His resurrection likeness! Christ was the only and final atoning sacrifice, that by Him man might have everlasting life… Telelestai. God conquers sin for His people.
You are freed from sin’s death penalty/eternal condemnation… to receive salvation by Christ Jesus….. Salvation is only through Christ not by the law…but live in Torah obedience… verse 12-13.
Romans 7:12 (KJV) Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.
Walk not after the world (flesh) but after the Spirit of God.
Romans 8:1-5 (KJV)...note 2 witnesses state and testify that we "walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit of God." as seen in 8:1 and 8:4. This is such a powerful salvation message that the Gnostic Alexandrian texts (the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus) have deleted it. Fostering the doctrine that you have irresistible grace as proposed by Calvinism.
Deu. 4:2 (KJV) Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. Deu. 12:32 (KJV) What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
Note Bible versions with Gnostic deletions: They deviate from the text-type of The Received Text (Textus Receptus) upon which the KJV is based.
Romans 8:1 (KJV, YLT, NKJV) There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
In the ASV, NAS, NIV, RS, NRs, ESB, NLT, ISV, GNT, Holman’sCSB, and Darby It reads: Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
The New Century Version reads: So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty.
The Message reads: With the arrival of Jesus, the Messiah, that fateful dilemma is resolved. Those who enter into Christ’s being-here-for-us no longer have to live under a continuous, low-lying black cloud.
Complete Jewish Bible reads: Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with the Messiah Yeshua.

Exodus 20:2-17 (KJV).. The 10 Commandments
1. Thou shall have no other gods before Me. 2. Thou shall not make unto thee any graven image. 3. Thou shall not take the name of the LORD in vain. 4. Remember the Sabbath; Keep it Holy. 5.

Haftorah
Isaiah 6:1-13 (KJV) What is the #1 thing that the Lord did for Isaiah? He cleansed his "unclean lips"/unclean heart" with a burning ember from the fire.
“unclean lips” שׂפה śâphâh saw-faw’…… language, lip, speech, vain talk, vain words, prating (to tell idle, to talk too much & foolishly, babble, chatter). The evil tongue or lashon hara!
The tongue is the direct portal to what's really in your heart.
The tongue synthesizes from the 5 senses (sight, hearing, taste, smell, touch) and expresses the true nature of your heart. Those involved in Gossip/Slander -you are under the influence of a Lying Spirit of the kingdom of darkness. You have a corrupt heart- corrupt mind.
Have the Heart of an Overcomer- the mind of Christ…
You can choose your friends .. But you can’t choose your family! Remember, we as a congregation are the Family of God/The Body of Christ. Love one another as He Loves you. Walking in God’s-kind-of-Love is the path to spiritual perfection.
Matthew 15:11 (KJV) “Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man “ James 3:8,10 (KJV) (8) But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison...... (10) Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
What did Isaiah see? אדני 'ădônây; King of Kings Lord of lords
LORD of Hosts is found only in the Old Testament (Tanach) and seemingly refers to the Father in its usage but it also refers to Yeshua Jesus.
Zechariah 2:8 (KJV) 8 For thus saith the LORD of hosts; After the glory hath he (Abba) sent me (LORD of Hosts, Jesus) unto the nations which spoiled you: for he that toucheth you toucheth the apple of his (ABBA) eye.
A Commission is given to Isaiah to be sent to a apostate people? ..Note, the state of the People? "I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips"...in whom the Lord of host identifies that they have a fat/prideful/lustful heart expressed by their unclean lips as a barometer of their spiritual state of disobedience and idolatry.
Malachi 3:14 (KJV) 14 Ye have said, It is vain to serve God: and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked mournfully before the LORD of hosts? Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
How long? …..Until the time of end of desolation! …but then only a remnant with holy substance will prevail after trials/purging by fire to cleans their lips.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
What does Yeshua Jesus think about the Law?
Matthew 5:17-20 (KJV) Jesus is the WORD….even to the fine detail of yod & tittle
Romans 7:7-13 (KJV) Paul gives an understanding that the law defines sin. The law allows us to face head-on the true nature of the flesh.
Romans 7:14- 25 (KJV) 2 laws war within the Christian…The law of sin (the flesh) & the Law of God (the Spirit)….choose whom you will serve.
Can the Law in Stone be ignored? Note, these comments by Yeshua, Paul James and John.
Jesus: John 14:15 (KJV) If ye love me, keep my commandments. Paul: Romans 7:12 (KJV) Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. James: James 2:8 (KJV)If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: John: 1 John 3:4 (KJV) Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
The Law tells of Jesus. Paul is teaching from the Tanach to find Jesus for wayward Jews.
Act 28:23 (KJV) And when they had appointed him (Paul) a day, there came many to him into his lodging; to whom he expounded and testified the kingdom of God, persuading them concerning Jesus, both out of the law of Moses, and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. .
Exodus 19:16-19 (KJV)16 And it came to pass on the third day in the morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet with God; and they stood at the nether part of the mount. 18 And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked greatly. 19 And when the voice of the trumpet sounded long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by a voice.
Spiritually cleanse yourself to come to the Mountain of God. Be a Reader, Hearer & Doer of the WORD …having Fruits to bear witness.

Mishpatim

"Judgments”

Parasha Readings:

Topic: How does the law apply to us today?

We will obey all that God says!

Lessons:

TORAH

Overview of Exodus 21-24 treatment of servants, laws against violence, keeping Abba’s feast’s each year, not bowing down to idols...

Exodus 24:1-18 (KJV) Abbas covenant “I will… if you…” “We will do, and be obedient.” ...And Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice, and said, All the words which the LORD hath said will we do. Israel's two greatest sins were disobedience and Idolatry.

Exodus 20:5 (KJV) Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them(Idols), nor serve them, for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God,…

Exodus 23:24 (KJV) Thou shalt not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works: but thou shalt utterly overthrow them, and quite break down their images.

And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it on the people. …Blood Covenant was established.

When you place yourself under the Law, sin's judgment is death by 2 -3 witnesses. God' Law under the first covenant were absolute. They had no Redeemer.

Haftorah

Jeremiah 33: 20-26 (KJV) The absolute nature of Abba’s WORD. We are His children as much as there is a day and a night!

Jeremiah 34:8-17 (KJV) Set your brother in-bondage free. But the liberty of this Torah mishpatim is negated by man's corrupt mind. Example of people breaking covenant (mishpatim). Can we ignore an instruction and not expect judgments? How is his Name polluted? …Verse 16. To ignore this mishpatim of God's WORD violates the 3^rd Commandment to honor His Name. We pollute His Name when were do not obey His WORD. God is Just and True and has the final Word. Break the covenant law then you die (Hebrews 10:28).
Today liberty in Christ.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)

Hebrews 9:11-15 (KJV) How does Abba provide us liberty from the death penalty of sin? His Son, Yeshua Jesus, is our High Priest. He alone paid our sin debt under the Law. Now under New Covenant God is in You. You must live in full knowledge of what is well-pleasing to Abba.

Mark 7:5-13 (KJV) Traditions of man? Fences around the law to fancy man's need's. Today many false teachers and prophets a mudding God's WORD. Have spiritual discernment.

Mathew 5:38-42 (KJV) Jesus defines the law of Moses. How do we interpret Jesus words? ......LOVE

Romans 13:8 (KJV) Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Romans 13:10 (KJV) Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.
Galatians 5:14 (KJV) For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
James 2:8 (KJV) If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well:

"If You Love Me Keep MY Commandments." Jesus' red letter WORDS.

Parasha Readings: Exodus 25:1-27:19; 1 Kings 5:1-6:13; Hebrews 8:1-9:5; Hebrews 9:23-24; Hebrews 10:1.
Topic: Freely Release everything unto the Lord.
Provide provisions for Abba’s House. What God ordains in the physical is to lead us to the Spiritual. Torah as a Shadow of Christ. God desires to dwell amongst His people.
Lessons:
TORAH
The Israelites left Egypt with great wealth (gold, silver, precious stones, linen, livestock) to contribute to building God’s Tabernacle.
House of the Living God A Cloud by day.' A pillar of Fire by night.
Exodus 25:1-9 (KJV) Terumah offering from the people to provide for God’s House. They were to give willingly.... as a Heave offering? ....
Exodus 29:27-28 (KJV) “27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is heaved up, of the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons: 28 And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering unto the LORD.” ..
Heave offering: Is that choice portion of the sacrifice peace offering that was set apart and reserved for Abba Father and is ‘heaved upward’ ..released totally from us to Him to be given to His Priesthood.....To provide provisions for Abba’s House.
Heave offering? .... Shadow of What? Malachi 3:6-11(KJV)
A House designed by God….Exodus 26:1-37 (KJV). We are to learn the Mishkan, the Tabernacle.
Ezekiel 44:5 (KJV) “And the LORD said unto me, Son of man, mark well (know), and behold with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears all that I say unto thee concerning all the ordinances of the house of the LORD, and all the laws thereof; and mark well (know well) the entering in of the house, with every going forth of the sanctuary” (mine*).
Tabernacle is a a Shadow of Christ. …Exodus 26:14 (KJV) "14 And thou shalt make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red, and a covering above of badgers’ skins." The bedouin, unsightly nature of the outside of the Tabernacle was uncomely.
Isaiah 53:2-4(KJV) "For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. (3) He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (4) Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted."

Haftorah
1 Kings 5:1-12 (KJV) Solomon’s Temple ….The 2nd Temple .
Rebuilt in 536 BC under Zerubbabel, the Governor, and Jeshua, the High Priest…with assistance of Ezra (457 BC) and Nehemiah (444 BC).
King David provided Terumah for Temple (2 chronicles 3:17 & 1 Chronicles 29:1-9 (KJV) .
Note, that Solomon's Temple is different from the Tabernacle as it has a portico with two pillars.
Zerubbabel's Temple was expanded and completed by Herod the Great…. Destroyed 70 AD by Romans.



NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Without a Temple ...How are we provided with a dwelling Place for God today?
Hebrews 10:1 (KJV) 1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.
Hebrews 8:1-6 (KJV) That shadow of good things to come is the New Covenant mediated by Christ. A covenant having better Promises. .. Sin price absolutely paid in full…tetelestai.
Hebrews 8:7-13 (KJV) Jeremiah’s promise is fulfilled in Christ to the House of Israel amongst the Gentiles (Church) (Jer. 31:31-34). It’s final fulfillment for the Jew is eminent. (House of Judah).
Justification is thru Jesus’ Blood.. V.12 ..Now under New Covenant …Faith first which leads to good works. Hence, the first covenant.. “old” …. “decayeth”… to vanish away as no man is justified by works.. Else wise Jesus’ death was in vain. Gal 2:21(KJV() "I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain."
What then today is the Purpose of the Law?..
Law is a shadow pointing to Christ. And a reminder pointing back to temporary nature of the daily and Yom Kippur sacrifices. It served then and today to define sin (iniquities) and gives instructions of how to walk in a righteous relationship with the Creator God. It points to God’s love for you….His Love letters. It gives instructions of how to walk in God’s-kind-of-Love. Every law is an example/instruction of how to live in a Love relationship. A codex to achieve Spiritual perfection. (telios).
Hebrews 9:21-24 (KJV) “21 Moreover he sprinkled with blood both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the ministry. 22 And almost all things are by the law purged with blood; and without shedding of blood is no remission. 23 It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24 For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us:”
Righteousness after salvation is a process…we must keep in fellowship with Abba…no breaches due to sin or idolatry. You can live under the God’s Covenant Blessings or Curses! (Deuteronomy 28:1-14; 15-45).
Where is the Blood covering today??? How is our Temple built?
1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (KJV) “16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.”
Today, we have a circumcised heart with Torah written on our heart by Holy Spirit, who leads us in a Love covenant: Love God/Love your brother/sister.
Unrighteousness is conquered for the Believer by making your heart the Temple of God and walking in God’s-kind-of-LOVE…

Parasha Readings: Exodus 27:20-30:10; Ezekiel 43:10-27; Romans 12:1-13:4 Philippians 4:10-20
Topic: Sanctification unto Abba; be an anointed, set-apart people; Consecrate yourself unto the Lord “as a living sacrifice.” We approach the Father through the Son, being a holy, sweet aroma, by loving one another as He loves us. He finds pleasure in our fellowship.
Today, the fragrant aroma of our Prayers are to Him a pleasing sacrifice from us as a free-will,Terumah offering. Yeshua Jesus is our High Priest and Intercessor.
Revelation 8:3 (KJV) And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne.

TORAH
Exodus 27:20-21 (KJV) Preparation of the oil for the Menorah. Can you see Christ?
Exodus 25:6 (KJV) "Oil for the light, spices for anointing oil, and for sweet incense."
Exodus 29:1-9 (KJV) The anointing of the Priests.
משׁיח (H4899 mâshîyach.. maw-shee'-akh), The Anointed One, The mâshîyach, The Christos, The Christ, is to rule and reign over all the world from the Temple in Jerusalem. His Coronation ceremony is when the Father gives Him the title deed to planet Earth in His Father’s Throne room. King Joash’s coronation is a example of the Hebrew ceremony of coronation of a King. . 2 Kings 11:11-12 (KJV)
To anoint: משׁח(H4886 mâshach maw-shakh') This is to rub with oil, that is, to anoint; by implication to consecrate; to separate unto God; to make holy. The fragrant smell of anointing oil has a diffusing effervescence into the surroundings, similar to the hovering of the Holy Spirit over the creation.
Use anointing oil with reverence. Anointing Oil is Holy. Its preparation is given in Exodus 30:22-38 (KJV). We are not to make these similar anointing solutions as they are Holy unto God.
Anointing practices are to be used to anoint God’s House and His Royal Priesthood.
Leviticus 8:10-12 (KJV) "10 And Moses took the anointing oil, and anointed the tabernacle and all that was therein, and sanctified them. 11 And he sprinkled thereof upon the altar seven times, and anointed the altar and all his vessels, both the laver and his foot, to sanctify them. 12 And he poured of the anointing oil upon Aaron’s head, and anointed him, to sanctify him."

Haftorah
Ezekiel 43:18-27 (KJV) A Levitical mitzvot in the Millennial Temple. Purifying the bronze Altar for its use and consecrating of the Priests. When were these instructions useful, and when will they be useful again? The Glory of the Lord shall return to the Temple.
Ezekiel 43:4-5 (KJV) "And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate whose prospect is toward the east. So the spirit took me up, and brought me into the inner court; and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house."
Ezekiel 44:1-3 (KJV) The East Gate. The Prince of the Lord shall rule as Lord of lords and King of kings.
Isaiah 9:6 (KJV) "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."
Rev. 1:5 (KJV) "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
In the millennial Temple Christ rules with “iron Hand” under Torah. Rev. 19:15 (KJV) "And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God."
Millennial Sacrifices !!!...????? …Why? Answer this question with the question: Why were there sacrifices before the Cross on Calvary?
Sacrifices in Millennial Temple: (Ezek. 40:38-43; Ezekiel 45:17; 45:18-25; 46:12-15; Isa. 56:7, 66:20-23; Jer. 33:18; Zech. 14:16-21; Mal. 3:3-4.)

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 12:1-8 (KJV) God is well pleased with your sacrifices. Give Prayer and Yourself as a “living sacrifice.” These are simple guidelines to becoming an Overcomer. It starts with humility. Kahol fellowship and being a part of the Body by obedience.
Romans 12:9-21 (KJV) Let Love be without hypocrisy. These are the guidelines to stay in fellowship with God.
Philippians 4:13 (KJV) “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
This is how we do our Halachah! The Holy Spirit that dwells in us is the Agent of the Father and Son. Christ created all things and holds all together. An Awesome God.

Remember Purim is this week (March 10-11, 2009). It is a time to read Then Book of Esther. Also note below the Hebrew/Jewish custom of taking care of the needy.
Purim Katan is in Adar (10-11 March 2009) A time to heap upon the needy your gifts in brotherly love. 1. Half-shekel Terumah = give currency to three needy persons . 2. Misho’ach manos = exchange with a needy friend gifts of food. 3. Gifts delivered by a third party (agent) rather than donor to a needy person. Giving serves to commemorate love and brotherhood between friends.

TORAH
Exodus 32:1-16 (KJV) God is a jealous God. His wrath is kindled by Idolatry. The Tablets were written on both sides. An end time clue. (Revelation 5:1) Remember King Joash’s coronation ceremony?... He was given a crown; the Testimony (Torah); anointed and made King. (2 Kings 11:12) The Tablets (Torah) are the work/WORD of God and His love letters to us!
Aaron’s failure (His Short Spiritual Memory) See Aaron's excuse ....Exodus 32:22-24 (KJV) …Is this the truth or is verse 4 what actually happened? God dealt with these rebellious people thru Moses.

Haftorah
Ezekiel 36:16-28 (KJV) A scattering and a re-gathering/ restoration/ reconciliation. Idols polluted the Northern Kingdom (Idolatry/adultery). This was unacceptable to our jealous God. Hence, they were sown amongst the heathen where they were a poor example of God’s people and they slandered God’s Name. They became the “lost sheep.” The lost sheep were given a new Heart, with the Holy Spirit within them as a part of the New Covenant (Jer. 31:31-33) and a heart of flesh. Their idolatrous heart of stone is removed by the Holy Spirit. Torah is written on your Heart.
Ezekiel 36:27 (KJV) 27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
The stony heart is not in fellowship with Abba. Let us examine how to cleanse ourselves of a stony heart.
Accept Yeshua Jesus as your Lord. Be "Born-again." Be Filled with the Holy Spirit. Study the Scriptures. Pray/fasting. Be part of a congregation. Identify yourself as Body of Christ. Be a Light unto the world. Be the Salt of the Earth. Be the spotless Bride.		Harbor no unforgiveness. Show humility Show empathy & Love identify, confess sin(s). Repent and be restored. Honor the Feasts of the Lord. Walk in God's-kind-of-love Be a Doer of the Word. By your Fruits you will be known. Keep Torah on your Heart.
Jeremiah 50:6 (KJV) My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their resting place.
Apostate times today.
2009 poll: Religious Identification Survey (compares late 1990's vs. 2009 statistics).
Christians 86%- 76%. 20-40 % fall in attendance at major denominations. 22% decrease in declaring oneself a Jew. Atheists increased from 7.5% to 15 % USA (900,000 to 1.6 billion). Evangelist 5 to 12%

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 Corinthians 10:1-14 (KJV) Christ was the deliverer …. the Rock. Tempt not Christ lest the destroyer destroys you. A restoration through fire. Be enduring in perseverance as He is watching over you. Flee Idolatry ….be obedient….be Christ-like. Don’t be double minded.
1 Corinthians 10:21-22 (KJV) 21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord ’s Table, and of the table of devils. 22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than he? James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. James 4:7-8 (KJV) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. (8) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Idolatry = Adultery.
As the Bride approaches her perfected state (telios), her eyes will not be off her husband. She is not of this world but must reside here as her testing ground! A bride wears combat boots and carries the Sword of the Spirit. These Sabbath teachings are your marriage counseling sessions that you can be that perfect spotless Bride.

Topic: Abba assembles His chosen people, the body of Christ as kings and priests, He assembles His Millennial Kingdom: A King, a land, and a people. And He assembles us as an assembly (kahol) to care one for another.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 35:1-3 (KJV) Abba gathers a people to rest on Shabbat and be in His Word (Debar/ Logos)
Six days of work = 6,000 yrs. from creation (Psalm 90:4, 2 Peter 3:8)

The Seven Candlesticks as the Seven Spirits of God: Godly Fear; Knowledge; Counsel; Holy Spirit of Lord’s Love in you; Might; Understanding; Wisdom.
The Menorah points to Yeshua Jesus as does the budding almond flower of life from dry ground that Mighty Right Arm of the Lord, as that Flower carved on the Menorah and as that Plant (Isaiah 53:1-2 ).

Haftorah
Introduction: Ezekiel is writing in the prophetic of the Millennial reign of Christ as the Prince Who comes into the Millennial Temple through the East gate and officiates over the Feasts of the Lord.
Ezekiel 45:16-25 (KJV) Abba assembles His millennial people under the Prince for offerings and their observance of The Feasts of The Lord in order to reconcile them and assemble them under His Lordship and Kingship.
Ezekiel 46:1-3(KJV) Now, being reconciled, the people worship before The Father on the Sabbaths and on the New Moons. A Torah observant people.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 9:1-14 (KJV) Abba assembled the “chosen people” under the 1st Covenant with His 10 Commandments and Torah; a Levitical Priesthood; and an earthly Tabernacle as His dwelling place.

Hebrews 9:1-14 (KJV) Abba brings in a new covenant of obedience by love as we have trust and innocence by being His children (Matthew 18:3) as a new priesthood of Messiah Yeshua Jesus (Revelation 1:5-6); and as a new earthly Tabernacle (2 Corinthians 6:16).

3-28-09 (3 Nissan 576)	Parasha Study #24a		Vayikra “and he called”
Parasha Readings: Leviticus 1:1- 6-7: Isaiah 43:21- 44:23; Hebrews 10:1-39; Romans 8:1-13
Topic: Abba has always provides a way for His Own. SHEMA His Call. Beware ….apostate times were aforetime and now. “and He called” as a voice in the wilderness but no one heard Him as they had no roots.
Abba’s way or man’s way? Chose light and life as darkness prevails where there is no light. Darkness is where Gods voice is not heard.
Lessons:
TORAH
Since our reading today is about the Levitical Sacrifices, let us examine an overview of sacrifices. Korban in the Hebrew means a sacrifice, which transliterates into English meaning ...“to draw near” to God.
The Levitical Sacrifices,
1. they were a temporary blood covering for unintentional sin. Intentional sin’s penalty was a stoning death. 2. Their purpose: Korban …to draw near to Abba 3. They point to Jesus as the final atoning Sacrifice Who freed man from death and the death penalty.
Minchah is to give offerings to bestow or appropriate gifts to ABBA. They are animal (Zevachim) or grain (Menachot).
Sacrifice Order: The order and priorities to present offerings.
Mandatory …Sin / Trespass offering for sin. Voluntary
… Burnt (a complete commitment to God) ……Peace (Fellowship meal with Abba in union & harmony) ……Meal “meat” (communal meal with God as a grain & peace offering)
Leviticus 1:1-13 (KJV) Burnt offering = Olah (whole or total offering ascending to God) except skin is given to Priests.. A voluntary offering given completely to the Lord. Nothing withheld…surrender entirely to Abba.
Today, what is your burnt offering given with nothing withheld! …..Yourself as a “Living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1). .
It is as an incomplete offering, when you hold onto Egypt or the desires of the flesh. Give the whole offering.
Psalm 51:19 (KJV) Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar. Deu. 33:10 (KJV) They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar.
Sacrifices to Abba were offered on the north side of the altar. Jesus’ Blood at Calvary was shed on the north side of the altar. (Lev. 1:11 JKV)
Lev 1:11 (KJV) And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood round about upon the altar.

Haftorah
Introduction: The Israelites were a stubborn/stiff-necked, disobedient, idolatrous people. They had become half-hearted in they offering of sacrifices to Abba.
Isaiah 6:9-10 (KJV) 9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not. 10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Abba has to remind them Who He is!...Isaiah 43:11 (KJV) I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour.
Isaiah 43:20-28 (KJV) A people turned to a sinful nature since Adam. You can Live under the Blessing or the Curses (Deuteronomy 28:1-48).
Romans 6:12 (KJV) Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 8:1-13 (KJV)
Rom. 8:1 …Is this an important statement? Condemnation …to be put under adverse judgment, doomed, condemned.
Romans 8:1 (KJV)1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
The newer Bible translations take their text-type from the Gnostic Alexandrian manuscripts which contain deletions of God's Word. The NIV has 68,000 deletions! LOOK FOR EXAMPLE.
Rom.8:1 (NIV) Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, Rom. 8:1 (NCV) 1 So now, those who are in Christ Jesus are not judged guilty.		Rom. 8:1 (NLT) So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. Rom.8:1 (SCJB) Therefore, there is no longer any condemnation awaiting those who are in union with Messiah Yeshua.
You become a New Creation in Christ (Romans 10:9-11)… Hence, live in the image of Christ by the walking not after the flesh but after the Spirit. Romans 8:6 (KJV) 6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.
Hebrews 10:23-31 (KJV) Condemnation against willful sin for NT saints. Under both 1st and 2nd Covenant willful sin can lead to death …. Just as Adam sinned there was physical death and spiritual death. Sin puts you under the Curses of the Law and opens portals to turn you over to the devourer.
Don’t kick against the geode. Submit to the Lord. Don’t be a rebellious, stiff-necked, contentious, Israelite…..
Live Christ like. 1 Peter 2:17-25 (KJV) Be spiritually deeply rooted. Be in obedience and love….
Be walking in the Fruits of the Spirit… Receive your Gifts from above…The Glory of Abba. The Glory of His presence is within you. Abba is Calling His People ….SHEMA

04/04/09 (10 Nisan 5769)	Parasha Study #24b(25a)	Tzav “Command”
Parasha Readings: Leviticus 6:8-8:36; Malachi 3:1-4:6; Hebrews 13:10 -16; 1 Timothy 2:1-10; Mark 12:28-34; Romans 12:1-2; 1 Corinthians 10:14 -23.
Topic: Abba’s Command to today's wicked world is the same as it was to the Pharaoh of Egypt at the time of the Hebrew Exodus at Passover. “Let MY People Go!” Today, we examine the preparation of the Righteous Man thru the fullness of Abba’s plan from Messiah Ben Joseph to Messiah Ben David.
Lessons:
TORAH
An Introduction to Christ from Torah. Leviticus 4:1-12 (KJV) The Sin Offering was for unintentional sin as a blood sacrifice before the Lord…preserving the best fat as fragrant incense to the Lord. The entire (WHOLE) sacrifice was burnt to ashes outside the Camp. Can you See Yeshua Jesus?
Leviticus 8:5-13 (KJV) This is the first offering of priestly sacrifices by an ordained Priesthood according to the Priestly protocol:
Leviticus 8:14-21 (KJV) Order: Sin offering; Volunteer Burnt offering Order: Christ atoning death; Our Redemption. We are bought for a price. This is the meaning of Passover.
You In-Christ, as a volunteer burnt offering, give yourself as a korban (“living sacrifice”).
Yeshua Jesus told the Jews that He was Messiah Ben Joseph. Luke 4:16-21 (KJV) He was quoting Isaiah (Isaiah 61:1-2), but stopped short of the complete reading leaving unsaid "and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;" Note, the GAP of 2000 years. In this gap we see both Messiah Ben Joseph and Messiah Ben David. As Messiah Ben Joseph being filled with The Holy Spirit, He did indeed complete all these prophetic mandates: "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD"
Yet today, we are awaiting “the day of vengeance of our God” when His Wrath falls upon the world ruled by the antichrist. Then Messiah Ben David will return as the ruling King. We are redeemed by the King of kings and the Lord of lords.

Haftorah
Preparation for Christ’s return. Malachi 4:1-6 (KJV) The great and terrible day of the Lord. The role of Elijah, the Messenger before the Lord: 1st Coming of Elijah was as John The Baptist; His 2nd Coming will be as the Passover Elijah.
Luke 1:17 (KJV) And he (John the Baptist) shall go before him (Jesus) in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
This Passover, we again await this day and we have a place setting for Elijah at the Passover Seder.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Abba’s Plan: OT concealed…NT revealed.
Hebrews 13:11-17 (KJV) Can you see “Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world” (John 1:29). Jesus was the Passover Lamb.
Pilate proclaimed Him “King of the Jews.” Yeshua Jesus is King of kings. Luke 23:38 (KJV) "And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS."
Was Pilate correct that Messiah Ben Joseph was at that time in Nisan the King of the Jews?
What is the formalities of becoming King of The Jews?
To be anointed. Mary anoints Jesus with spikenard days before the 14 of Nisan. Was this for burial or for His kingship or both [John 12:3-8 (KJV)] To parade into Jerusalem to be received by the people. Zechariah 9:9b (KJV)"..behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass." John 12:13 (KJV) "Took branches of palm trees, and went forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna: Blessed is the King of Israel that cometh in the name of the Lord." To be vestured in a royal robe. John 19:2-3 (KJV) "And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 And said, Hail, King of the Jews! and they smote him with their hands." To be crowned on the 14th of Nisan. A Israelite king is formally crowned on the 14th of Nisan but His rule is retroactive to begin with the religious New Year of 1 Nisan. (Prophecy in the News; April 2009, page 3) His official title is recognized by the world. John 19:19-20 (KJV) 19 And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the cross. And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 This title then read many of the Jews: for the place where Jesus was crucified was nigh to the city: and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin.

1 Timothy 2:4-6 (KJV) Yes, all shall recognize Yeshua Jesus in due time. This is the One Message from Genesis to Revelation ... We are redeemed by the King of kings the Lord of lords….and Every knee shall bow to Him…..
Romans 14:11 (KJV) For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.

4-11-2009 (17 Nisan 5769)	Parasha Study Passover	Chol Ha’Moed “the circle of the Feasts of the Lord”
Parasha Readings: Exodus 33:12-34:26; Numbers 28:19-25; Ezekiel 36:37- 37:14; all Song of Songs; Matthew 27:62-66; Luke 23:54-56.
Topic: Prophetic Cycle of Redemption. We behold the Messianic Kingdom in Understanding the Feast of Firstfruits.
Key to Passion week: What is the One desire of the Father? ..To get a Bride for His Son… BUT it required a Bride price! ........Paid on Passover. Tetelestai
Lessons:
TORAH
Ezekiel 36:34-38 (KJV) Restoration of a barren Land, a fallen people, restoration of cities, even unto the magnitudes of the crowds in Jerusalem during the Feasts days of the Lord.
Up to Jerusalem for the Passover Feast: The annual Passover Feast was a memorable rejoicing time of renewing friendships, seeking new acquaintances or finding a wife; teaching and learning, shopping, and remembering the aromas and the awesome nature of the Temple. .
At the time of Yeshua, the permanent residents in Jerusalem were about 600,000. One lamb per household would accommodate 10-20 guests and family. During this feast over 200,000 Passover lambs were slaughtered to provide for an expanded population of about 3 million. The High Priest slaughtered His Lamb at about the 9th hour (2:30-3:00 pm)
Numbers 28:16-18, 25 (KJV)…A Clear distinction between Passover and Unleavened Bread
¹⁶ And in the fourteenth day of the first month is the passover of the LORD. ¹⁷And in the fifteenth day of this month is the feast: seven days shall unleavened bread be eaten.
The first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was a High Holy Sabbath day wherein there would be a holy convocation and no one was to work. It became the Jews Feast day for the "passover." A frame-shift.
Passover Seder was on the Erev 14th Nisan for in Jesus' own words He asked His disciple to prepare this “Passover” Luke 22:15 (KJV) And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
Matthew 26:18 (KJV) Mark 14:14 (KJV) Luke 22:8 (KJV Luke 22:11 (KJV)
Exodus 34:18 (KJV) describes the 7 day Feast of Unleavened Bread
Exodus 34:22-23 (KJV) The Feast of Weeks =Shavuot (Pentecost). Feast of Ingathering = Sukkoth (Feast of Tabernacles) Now, in this teaching, we observe the full cycle of spring, summer and the fall feasts.
The Three Feasts to go up to Jerusalem:
 Feast of Unleavened Bread (Passover week)  Shavuot/Pentecost  Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkoth)

Haftorah
Song of Songs 2:8-13 Prophetic Fall Feasts: Yeshua Jesus comes for a Bride. As He comes for His Bride, there will be fulfillment and a portrayal of The Jewish wedding. She know not the time (day nor the hour) but perhaps the season!
Season clues?
Spring Feasts??? With the winter past; beautiful flowers & chirping birds in abundance; & fruit on the fig tree.
Arise my love…

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Matthew 27:62-66 (KJV) Knavery of the chief priests and Pharisees on the High Holy Day. They remember His words … “I will arise after 3 days”; Pilate said “Make it as secure as you can!” Tomb was sealed and they set a Roman watch.
Luke 23:54-56 (KJV) Ever since Yeshua Jesus' death on the preparation day of the 14th of Nisan (Abib), the women were eager, ready and prepared to preserve His body with spices and ointments, but Torah and oral Torah delayed their going to the tomb. They could not defile themselves with a dead body for they would become " unclean" for the Sabbath.
14th Nisan was Jesus' Passover (“preparation day”) Wednesday 15th Nisan High Holy Day…as a Sabbath Thursday 16th Friday preparation for Sabbath 17th Sabbath 18th Sunday
This year (April 2009) has the days of the week that are of the same sequence as when Jesus was crucified. This really allows us to walk through the Passover week in real time!

Thus according to Jewish tradition and Torah, the women had no window of opportunity to embalm and prepare the body of Jesus. After sundown of weekly Sabbath, women came to tomb in various groups.

Christ completed exactly and precisely 3days/3 nights in the belly of the Earth. On Erev 17th Nisan when the High Priest cuts Barley sheaves of First Fruits, Christ had already risen! Christ was First Fruits of Resurrection…Empty tomb/Risen Christ. They could not produce a body!
1 Corinthians 15:20-24 (KJV) But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead . For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive . But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
The fullness of time comes when Christ enemies are under His foot; the wicked no longer prevail; the Bride is safe in Shalom and the Kingdom is returned to the Father.

04/18/09 24 Nisan 5769	Parasha Study #26	Shemini “Eighth”
Parasha Readings: Leviticus 9:1-11:47; 2 Samuel 6:1-7:17; Acts 10:1- 11:18; Mark 7:1- 23; Acts 5:1- 11; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; Galatians 2:11- 16; 1 Peter 1:14- 16.
Topic: The eighth Hebrew letter is the chet = fence, to separate God’s people that they be cleansed, sanctified, and protected. How does God protect His Kingdom on Earth…His People, His Church?

How does Abba handle the rebel with strange fire? ...especially strange fire within the camp...the sheepfold?
God’s Wrath: Trials and tribulations… By His “tough love” you return to Fellowship with Abba as you are failing in your Christian walk or A “Job” time of testing to purify the righteous ….
He will remove the wicked from the sheep fold. Our God is longsuffering that all might come to repentance and in His eternal fellowship. Satan and the wicked shall perish (Book of Revelation).
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 10:1- 7(KJV) What were the transgressions of Nadab and Abihu?...Strange Fire…….Whew !
Exodus 30:7-9 (KJV) “And Aaron shall burn thereon sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth the lamps, he shall burn incense upon it. 8 And when Aaron lighteth the lamps at even, he shall burn incense upon it, a perpetual incense before the LORD throughout your generations. 9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor meat offering; neither shall ye pour drink offering thereon.”
Hebrews 10:31 (KJV) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Did that put the fear of God into the Levitical Priesthood? Does that put the fear of God into You?
Deuteronomy 8:6 (KJV) Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. Deu 6:24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day. Deu. 6:2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. Deuteronomy 10:12-13 (KJV) 12 And now, Israel, what doth the LORD thy God require of thee, but to fear the LORD thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, 13 To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
The God of the OT is portrayed as angry/judgmental/harsh, while The God of NT is loving and nurturing. Today, fear is replaced by respect for God and His benevolence.
God Fear is humility in knowing that He, alone, has the power to condemn your soul to hell…. an eternal separation from God. Your eternal destiny is based on your relationship with the Father through the Son.
Fear God and be in God's Book of Remembrances: Malachi 3:16 (KJV)16 Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

Haftorah
2 Samuel 6:1-11 (KJV) Does Abba’s Torah mean what it says and say what it means? (My laws are in Torah). Again strange fire before the Lord! ‘My way or the highway’…defiance …a rebel. What is Abba saying so that we might understand today?? Protocol is set forth in the scriptures on how to approach the Lord and serve Him as a ”good and faithful servant”
Constantine and the Church of Rome created doctrine from pagan feasts, and these customs and traditions were presented to a gullible and non-discerning people as” holy unto the Lord.” “Thou shall have no god before (alongside, beside or in addition to) Me” (1st Commandment) (Exodus 20:3). Seek wise counsel…Acts 17:11.
What are we to honor?…The Feasts of Man or The Feasts of God? Consider the source of the Feasts of Man …Read any encyclopedia about Easter and Christmas …They are all about pagan gods. “Thou shall have no god before (alongside, beside or in addition to) Me” (1st Commandment) (Exodus 20:3) Exodus 23:13(KJV) 13 And in all things that I have said unto you be circumspect: and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth .

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Acts 5:1-11 (KJV) The Ananias and Sapphira deception. What are they bringing into the House of God....Defilement !!!...Deception!!!!.. Strange Fire. Did the early Christian Church fear God? Don’t be another Nadab and Abihu?...God’s Wrath is death (physical/spiritual.)
Hebrews 10:31 (KJV) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Now NT Scriptures that we should fear God with genuine fear!
2 Corinthians 7:1 Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Ephesians 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God. Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 1Peter 2:17 Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honour the king. Revelation 14:7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
God is Immutable; therefore The OT-NT God is the same.
The Immutable Father: Malachi 3:6 (KJV) 6 For I am the LORD, I change not; Note Abba’s Tribulation wrath ( Rev. 16:1).
The Immutable Jesus: Hebrews 13:8 (KJV) 8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Note Jesus’ Tribulation Wrath (Rev. 7:16-17).
Will you take the mark of the beast??… Fear man more than God?
Since God cannot change then who must change? Is God equally judgmental to all? He is a Righteous and Just God.
1 Peter 1:13- 23 (KJV) Is God partial to person? Be ye holy; for I am holy. * Be holy in all manner of conversation; The poor in Spirit (meek/humble) will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven.. The Olam Haba.
*Leviticus 11:44-45 (KJV) “For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 45 For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: ye shall therefore be holy, for I am holy.”
How should we appear before the LORD?
Tithes and offerings brought into the storehouse of God. Spend time in the WORD of God. Prayer.. Supplication.. Intercession. Forgiving one another. Perpetual incense of our prayers. Fasting/Prayer. Sacrifice given as the Praise of your lips. Worship ..enter the Throne Room thru Yeshua Jesus. Lift Holy Hands in worship to the Lord. Love.. The Lord and … Love one another. Be of a contrite heart, meek and humble. Communion.. Partake of the Lord’s Supper or else He will have no part of you! Halakah (your projected walk as in the image of Christ) Obedience to God because we love Him Walk not after the traditions of man....But in the Fruits of the Spirit Give yourself as a “living sacrifice.” Accountability and Repentance Be of a pure & circumcised heart Be Holy as I Am Holy …Be a clean vessel to be used by the Lord

Topic: We are conceived in the natural and born of women when released from amniotic fluid. Those in Christ are conceived of Holy Spirit when “born-again” being released from “old self” in Baptism of water.
John 3:1-6 (KJV) We are conceived in image of Christ by Holy Spirit being “born-again” as Jesus explains to Nicodemus. Being “born-again” is rebirth, you are Holy Spirit filled, and all past sin is covered by the Blood of Christ and the Father does not see or remember your sin anymore…You are justified. Now, you are in perfect fellowship with God the Father.
New transgressions, iniquities, and sin make you unclean, and separates you from the Father. Sin causes a breach in your relationship of that perfect walk with God, and you become separated from Abba. The Torah is for our instruction of God’s will for us, so that with repentance we are kept in the sheepfold.
Lessons:
TORAH
How do the clean become unclean?
Leviticus 12:1-8 (KJV) The issue of Blood in females concerns a womb (uterine) discharge.
Postpartum: Isolation for mother’s health and her bonding with Baby. Menstrual: Isolation to protect an open womb. Spontaneously: …irritable uterus. Rule out disease/curses (Derek Prince/ Brian Holmes )
Luke 2:22-24 (KJV) 22 And when the days of her purification according to the law of Moses were accomplished, they brought him to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord; 23 (As it is written in the law of the Lord, Every male that openeth the womb shall be called holy to the Lord;) 24 And to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons.
When was Yeshua Jesus circumcised? (Lev. 12:3) Was Jesus born into a wealthy family? (Lev. 12:6,8) Was He, Himself, the lamb to be offered?
You can live under God’s Blessings (Deuteronomy 28:1-14) or you can live under God’s Curses! (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). A review of these self-imposed curse are given below as a sampler.

How do the clean become unclean?

Haftorah
2 Kings 5:1-19 (KJV) Leprosy is a metaphor of what? Yes...sin! A little Leaven …leavened the whole loaf.” Like leprosy sin is contagious and counter multiplies in your soul.
Leprosy disfigure you body with auto amputations (self-mutilation). Sin consumes you …takes you out of being in the image of Christ (disfigures you) and isolates you from the Father.
Quarantine … .isolation for infectious disease.. Quarantine your self from sinners …Don’t sojourn with unbelievers!

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Mark 5:1-20 (KJV) Sin opens portals for the prince of darkness. Observe Legion, a man possesses with 5,300 demons. They are on the inside, as they had to be cast out.
		Living under the Curses of the law opens doors for to the demonic world. You ask them into you soul when you are disobedient to God's word and are servants of another God.
You become double-minded. You cannot serve two masters.
It is not your outside projection, but your heart that identifies you true soul.
The Promises of God’s word are demonstrated by miracles of Jesus:
Matthew 8:16-17 (KJV) 16 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: 17 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.
Miracles and healings by his disciples:
Acts 5:12(KJV) 12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people;
Promises from the Scripture for you to do the miracles, healing and casting out of evil spirits.
Luke 10:19-20 (KJV) 19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. 20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Mark 16:15-18 (KJV) 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Bind the evil spirits in the Name of Jesus…Cast them out in the Name of Jesus…release your self from their works in the Name of Jesus …forbid to return in the Name of Jesus. Then fill void (passive mind ) with God’s Word and Holy spirit.
Get clean and stay clean.
The R’s to keep clean: Recognize sin (confess) /remorse/ repentance/renounce/release/ reconciliation /resist/restore someone else. Use your insight to help someone else within the Body of Christ
Be a clean vessel to be used by the Lord

05/02/09 (8 Iyar 5769)	Parasha Study #28 29b		Aharei Mot “after the death”
Parasha Readings: Double Reading: (1) Aharei Mot Leviticus 16:1- 18:30; Ezekiel 22:1- 19; Hebrew 9:6- 28; Romans 3:19-28; 9:30- 10:13; 1 Corinthians 5:1- 13; 2 Corinthians 2:1-17. (2) Kedoshim “Holy” Leviticus 19:1- 20:27; Amos 9:7-15; Romans 1:18- 32; Matthew 5:33-37, 43- 48, 15:1-11; Mark 12:28- 34; Galatians 5:13- 26; James 2:1- 9; 1 Peter 1:13- 21.
Topic: “Tetelestai” …. “It is finished” all was completed by Christ’s death. The whole of the Bible points to His nail prints. Redemption is for all that believe in Yeshua Jesus’ atoning sacrifice, that we might have eternal life. Jesus is the Passover “Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world, our Savior and Redeemer, our Intercessor and High Priest who bring our offering and fragrant prayers to the Father.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus Introduction : Discussion of restrictions on the High Priest to enter the Most Holy Place, in God’s presence, after sin of Aaron's sons. Mishpatim are given on how Aaron is to come into the Most Holy Place, his attire, the offerings he is to bring, and the protocol for the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
Leviticus 16:1-2 (KJV) It takes special preparation for mortal man to go before a most Holy God. The High Priest is to prepare himself to meet God for seven days before Yom Kippur. During that time, he lived apart from his wife and family in a special place in the Temple. The elders would read and expound to him the ordinances of the sacred day’s protocol. The night prior to the sacred day, he would be kept awake reading from Job, Ezra, Chronicles and Daniel. On Yom Kippur, he would not wear the priestly robes, but would officiate and enter the Most Holy Place in simple garments of white linen –emblems of lowliness and purity. Yom Kippur is the most solemn day of the Lord on the Jewish calendar.
The High Priest offered sacrifices for himself and the congregation. The aroma of sacrifices gives a pleasing unto the Lord.
He enters the Most Holy Place in the white linen of righteousness and makes temporary atonement for himself and the people, by the blood of bullocks, sheep and goats. Two goats are chosen: one for the Lord, as a sin offering and the other is the Azazel (scapegoat) to carry the sins of the people of Israel into the wilderness, where it meets a sudden death.
Leviticus 16:29-34 (KJV) A set aside High Holy day… A Sabbath … prophetic of what? It is prophetic of Christ 2^nt coming with the armies of the saints in white linen. He comes to rule and reign when he shall appear at a future Yom Kippur, ridding on a white horse in battle armor with His Bride . The sacrifices are a pleasing aroma to the Almighty God.


Haftorah
Introduction to Ezekiel :
Ezekiel 22:1-5(KJV) Judge the city and people of Israel for their abominations and idol worship. They are guilty.
Ezekiel 22:6-15 (KJV) Israel is living in sin as an apostate people. Sin is within the camp of the city of Jerusalem. Sin is in the sheep fold.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 9:30-10:13 (KJV) We have a High Priest today. His truth is in the Holy Scriptures which gives the key to everlasting life.
Hebrews 9:11-12 (KJV) 11 But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building; 12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
John 8:31-32 (KJV) 31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
		A fragrant aroma to the Lord comes from ourselves as a “living sacrifices” our prayers; our worship. Be a fragrant savor to the Lord, not a stench of death.
2 Corinthians 2:14-17 (KJV) What is the savor of Christ? “For we are unto God a sweet savor of Christ in them that are saved”..v. 15.
The believer is to be in the image of Christ walking in the Fruit of the Spirit by living in love and forgiveness, insured to have eternal life. The unsaved are a savor of death…eternal death in the Lake of Fire.
... Be Holy as I Am Holy. ...Be a clean vessel to be used by the Lord.

Parasha Readings: Leviticus 21:1- 24:23; Ezekiel 44:15-31; Mark 2:23-3:5; Luke 4:14-32; Matthew 5:38-42.
Topic: The Almighty Father has a plan which is revealed for the unbelievers, as we, all were at one time. His Plan is to restore man to His Kingdom of eternal life through the Light of life, Yeshua Jesus. Exodus 24:4 Moses then wrote down everything the Lord had said. Yes, this Kingdom plan is in the Books of Moses (Torah) and today is in the Holy Scriptures for our enlightenment. That light of life is symbolically represented as the center candle or servant candle (Shamash) on the Menorah.
Lessons:
TORAH
Introduction: Exodus 37:17 (KJV) The making of the menorah. Gold represents deity. It is beaten gold! Symbolic of Who?
Leviticus 24:1-4 (KJV) What is the Oil for the he menorah? It is the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) inside you! Let us now examine the prophetic nature of the menorah structure and its symbolism.
 The Feasts of the Lord  The attributes of the Holy Spirit
 The Sabbath ….The Sabbath was made for man not man for Sabbath Jesus is the Creator…and the creation message is in the Sabbath.
Colossians 1:16-19 (KJV) 16 For by him (Jesus) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; John 1:3 (KJV) 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. Book of Enoch 39:11 Before him (The Just One) there is no ceasing; he knows, before the world was created, what the world is , and will be from generation to generation.
The Father is the Architect, the designer ..Jesus, the Craftsman, the carpenter ..the Holy Spirit is the power/might of the creation. .. They are echad…The Oneness of the trinity/Godhead

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Who is Jesus and what is His Gospel message? He is a “root” out of dry ground, who grows to do the Fathers’ work (Isaiah 53:2).
John 8:12-18 (KJV) Jesus is the Light of the World …. The servant (Messiah Ben Joseph) .. the servant candle (shamash candle). He gives light and life to all that will accept him. He was sent of the Father that we might also be light unto a dark world.
Mark 2:23-28 (KJV) Jesus is the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is for man’s rest not for man’s pleasure. The Sabbath is holy and honorable unto the Lord. Isaiah58:13-14 (KJV)
Luke 4:1-16 (KJV) Jesus is human just as we are. The temptation of Yeshua Jesus…. 40 days of trials…He was tempted just as we are. It is the Holy Spirit that leads you to prevail in all spiritual matters to righteousness. Be a Bride in white linen and receive the Kingdom reward.
The Good News Gospel: Matthew 5:38- 42 (KJV). What is His Gospel message? Jesus teaches a gospel of “love God and love your neighbor.” Live in humility, compassion and empathy for your neighbor.

HAFTORAH
The millennial reign of Christ: Ezekiel 44:15-19 (KJV)
Yeshua Jesus will rebuild the Millennial Temple in Jerusalem. He will return to the Temple in Glory through the East Gate (Ezekiel 44:1-4) and He will rule planet Earth with an iron rod (Torah) as Lord of lords and King of kings. He will be both King and High Priest. The Levitical priesthood of Zadok will officiate under His authority.

I COME…Are you ready ?Abba Father desires that none should perish (Matthew 18:12-14 (KJV); 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)

Topic: The Jubilee as a picture of our liberation from bondage of sin, the flesh and the world. In the Liberty of Christ, we find our Salvation.
Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 25:1-7 (KJV)…Leviticus 25:1 (KJV) And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying,… "Debar". Debar is SH# 1697 meaning WORD… The Word of God (Yeshua Jesus)) was spoken on mount Sinai.
John 1:1 (KJV) In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
Leviticus 25:4 Every 7^th year is a sabbatical year and a sabbatical rest for the land and Abba’s people. During this rest Abba provides...Example of Abba's loving hand on the Israelites:
Exodus 16:12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God.
Revelation 20 ….and in that 7th year...there will follow the millennial reign of Christ. Satan is bound for a mellinium,1000 years, and the righteous will reign with Christ as a new beginning.
What is the 7th letter of Hebrew aleph-bet?.... Zayin .... meaning rest, Sabbath, focal point…
Leviticus 25:8-25 (KJV) Leviticus 25:8-9 The 7^th sabbatical year = 49 years .. i.e. 7 years x 7 years plus one year = Jubilee year (50 years)
Jesus was crucified in the middle (at 3 ½ years) into the 209th Sabbatical year since Joshua went into the Promise Land.” Today 2008-2008 we are in the 492nd Sabbatical year.
God also uses 50 in the counting of the Omer … a “week of weeks” plus one day. This is during the Feast of Unleavened Bread at the time after the morn of the weekly Sabbath until Shavuot /Pentecost (50 days).
Count Omer today # 35….Psalm 119:97-97-104 (KJV)

Haftorah
none given

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Philemon 1:1-25 (KJV) Onesimus is a run-away slave, who finds Paul and receives salvation by accepting Yeshua Jesus as His Lord. The Jubilee is an example of release from slavery to the freedom as a believer in Christ. Onesimus returns not as a slave but servant and brother in Christ. How do you treat a brother in Christ? … with love. Does not the same Spirit of Abba dwell within Him as in Epaphras, a fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus. …The liberty of Salvation
Luke 4:16-21 (KJV) We have life through Yeshua Jesus. Christ was chosen before the foundations to be the anointed suffering servant that would take away the sins of the world. All that believe in Him have light and life. Liberation in Christ
1 Corinthians 7:21-24 (KJV) We are called as believers to be servants of Christ. A servant is the Lords freeman, as you live under the law of liberty of life ….a free gift not bondage of death. He paid your sin price … you can’t.. We were bought with a price.. Tetelestai.
Were not all of us “slaves to sin” at one time in bondage with the forces of unrighteousness and darkness? We are bought with a price and paid for by the Blood of Christ. No One else except Christ could have released us from sin and death. Now, by our free-will, we are bondservants to Christ. A victor over Satan/death/sin. He released the captives held in bondage. We are now His prisoners whom He loves. We are that runaway slave, Onesimus! Stay clean in white linen … Repent and be reconciled
Galatians 6:7-10 (KJV) You shall reap what you sow! The worldly struggle is flesh vs. Spirit. Reap liberty in the Spirit and bondage in the flesh. Be liberated from your flesh man. Do not become weary of doing God’s work. “Faint not” …. be a cheerful servant for then you shall accrue treasures in heaven.
Be that good and faithful servant.
WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ABBA!!

I COME…Are you ready ?Abba Father desires that none should perish (Matthew 18:12-14 (KJV); 2 Peter 3:9 (KJV)
Reflect God’s Glory as Moses. Shema …Love God as do the Torah-observant Jews. They were God intoxicated!...
Your eyes should be opened! Naso, …. Accountability…
Should not we also be God intoxicated!
Psalm 30 (KJV) Radiate ABBA’s glory in our eyes and countenance or go down to the pit.

Gold = deity Light = Holy Spirit =Shekinah Seven = completion =Rest Center candle =Shamash=Yeshua Branches = Christ & Church Shaft/root (vine) = Christ Oil Holy Spirit Flowers on branches = fruit= Church Beaten gold = Christ (Isa. 53:3-5) Beaten flowers = us, the Body of Christ One single gold strand = ECHAD.

Haftorah
Zechariah 4:1- 14 (KJV) What is this lamp stand? ...A Menorah or Chanakiah. Note the oil to feed lamps (Holy Spirit). Lamps point to those who are redeemed in Christ.

What/Who are the olive trees?
Olive trees= 2 witnesses? Native olive tree (Jews) & wild olive tree (Gentiles) Olive trees= Judah & Ephraim = redeemed House of Jacob (Jer. 11:16-17). Are they the Holy Scriptures (Tanach & Brit Chadasha)? Are they God's two covenant people "chosen" as a special people?
Who are the grafted branches today? They are the House of God…His Body! Be Holy as He is Holy or be plucked from the olive tree. ….
Where does the Word, the Holy Scriptures, take you? What does the Law of Moses (Torah) and Prophets point to? ….The Water and the Blood! ….Abba’s Celestial Kingdom….our home ..the House of God.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 3:1- 13 (KJV) We are the House of God kept in order by the Holy Spirit. You are the collective Body of Christ …edify one another with your gifts…exhort each other. Harden not your heart… don’t evoke God’s wrath.
Love is the Kingdom glue. Shema …Hear Love God & love the brethren. Be well-pleasing in Abba’s sight. What are the bricks?...the mortar? The capstone?
Hebrews 13:20-21 (KJV) Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant, Make you perfect in every good work to do his will, working in you that which is well pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ; to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
John 19:31-37 (KJV) The Water & the Blood …???? Does it relate to our purification?
The metaphors of the water: The flood waters of Noah cleansed the earth ; To the water of cleansing from the brass laver; to the Mikvah ; to the Water of the Red Heifer (Numbers 19:2-9**); to the “living water” that Christ offered to the woman at the well; to the Living water within us.
The water…. Today, while it is today, receive “Living Water.” Believe & be baptized of water & of the Spirit. The Blood …. Life is in Blood (Lev. 17:11). No forgiveness of sin without Shedding Blood (Heb. 9:22). You shall have no part of Me (John 6:52- 58).NT Covenant Matthew 26:27- 29 (KJV)
The Water and Blood 1 John 5:1-8 (KJV)
Who is the water & Blood?
1 John 5:6 (KJV) 6 This is he (Jesus) that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. As “living water” the Spirit, is the Agent of God, who bears witness of Jesus.
1 John 5:7-8 (KJV) 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one
Is the trinity a foundational belief in Christianity?
1 John 5:7-8 (NIV) 7 For there are three that testify: 8 the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.
Do you see the Gnostic deletions?
Verse deleted (missing) from ASV, ESV, MESSAGE, NSAB, NIV, NCV, NLT, NSRV, CJB. Recorded complete in Textus Receptus, 1873 AV, KJV, NKJV, YLT.
Scrivener's Textus Receptus (1847) οτι τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες εν τω ουρανω ο πατηρ ο λογος και το αγιον πνευμα και ουτοι οι τρεις εν εισιν.
Tisch. Interlinear Greek Bible (A Copic text-type from Wescott, Nestle-Aland, UBS4 Greek NT in Elzevir, Newberry Interlinerar Greek Bible) 7 οτι τρεις εισιν οι μαρτυρουντες.
Yeshua Jesus’ House …. The seven churches.
Revelation 1:12-16 (KJV) And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
John 14:15 (KJV) “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” The Commandments … we understand as they are Torah. But what is Love?.. Do we understand LOVE? Love God…Love thine brother/sister. Baptism into Body of Christ.. into One Body is by brotherly love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-7 (KJV) God’s agape Love .. a sacrificial Love. 1 Corinthians 13 (KJV) …… Paul’s Love Chapter!
 God’s LOVE ….is longsuffering but kind.  God’s LOVE envies not, brags not nor is prideful.  God’s LOVE does not act unbecoming; it is not self-seeking nor easily provoked.  God’s LOVE has no evil thoughts or iniquities, but rejoices in truth.  God’s LOVE bears & endures with belief and hope in all things.  God’s LOVE will never fail you.  God’s LOVE makes you complete. When you reflect God’s LOVE, you are not longer a Child but a Son/Daughter of God.

06/13/09 (21 Sivan 5769)	Parasha Study #34	Shelach L’cha “Send thou”
Parasha Readings: Numbers 13:1- 15:41; Joshua 2:1- 24; Hebrews 3:1- 4:16.
Topic: Two witnesses: Joshua/Caleb; Joshua's 2 spies; Ephraim/ Judah as a foreshadow of Christianity and the Messianic age; Send you as Ambassadors in teams as a Shelach … “sent ones”
Being sent to the “Promise Land,” a new beginning, God’s Rest for a weary new nation. …
Is this shadows of something future for us….???
Lessons:
TORAH
Numbers 13:1-3, 6 & 8 (KJV) Who is Caleb?
Numbers 32:12 (KJV) Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun: for they have wholly followed the LORD.
Why is a Kenezite representing the tribe of Judah. A generational curse was upon the tribe of Judah unto the 10th generation!
Numbers 13:17-33 (KJV) GIANTS in the Land!! Who are Joshua & Caleb? (Joshua =Ephraim … Caleb = Judah). Conquer the Land by the strength of man? Joshua/Caleb: by the Strength of God.
Who is Israel’s protector?
Beside Idolatry what other fault repeatedly occurs in the Israelites…unbelief and lack of Faith… despite being eyewitness of the Red Sea Crossing.
Remember the story of the Giant-killer? Whose wings was he under? Who came from the loins of King David as the "giant-killer" of Armageddon?
Where is our power??? In the name of Jesus Christ, Yeshua Ha’Masiach, our Savior, our Redeemer , our Lord, and our Master, by Him we shall conquer all giants.

Haftorah
Fast-forward….. 40 years later
Joshua 2:1-24 (KJV) Why 2 scouts? Who is Rahab? She is a type of what? She is a type of the Church. A Gentile bride like Ruth. Also a type of those Gentiles helping their Jewish brothers such as Ann Frank, Cory Trendboom, and the tribulation Israelites.
What was Rahab’s message? Even a harlot can find grace and mercy in Abba’s eyes and become God’s people. Rahab was King David’s great-great-great grandmother.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 3:15- 4:13 (KJV) Exhort & edify one another daily! Harden not your heart….for TODAY.. Now … is the time to accept Yeshua Jesus as your personal Lord & Savior. Hold steadfast! Perseverance. Keep the Faith and live not in unbelief.
What is the Rest? God’s Menookhah (מנוּחה). God did rest from His works.
Genesis 2:3 (KJV) And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
The Sabbath was made for man to rest and have holy convocation. The Sabbath is a rehearsal for us to enter the Promise Land.
The Sabbath recharges you for another week….. A portrayal of Abba's REST (A Hebrew Idiom: “To sit under the fig tree”…. We rehearse it as the weekly Sabbath …..
Get to know Abba's REST…..….A land of milk and honey….The Olam Haba (eternity with Abba).
We're ... going HOME…. Are you READY?

6/20/09 (28 Sivan 5769)	Parasha Study #35	Korach “Korah”
Parasha Readings: Numbers 16:1- 18:32; 1 Samuel 11:14- 12:22; 2 Timothy 2:8-4:5; 2 John 1-13; Jude 1-25.
Topic: The Authority of God’s Anointed Ones is challenged! Strife & discontentment is within the camp.
In these end time days, congregations wrestle against spiritual wickedness and an overwhelming Spirit of Slumber; Deaf and Dumb Spirit; Spirit of Korah; Spirit of Rebellion; Spirit of Religion; and witchcraft.
Don't fall into the Hands of the Living God! Don't take your eyes off Christ.
Lessons:
TORAH
Rebellion against Moses and Aaron! Rebellion against the Anointed of the Lord! Numbers 16:1- 5 (KJV) Strife, grumblings, covetousness against their brother amongst the Sons of Levi. Lack of submission to authority of God’s Agents (His Shelach). Self-indulgence & loss of focus on The Lord and their personal relationship with Him. Don't fall into the Hands of the Living God.
Numbers 16:26-35 (KJV) Abba filters, shifts and sifts His people. If it is not of the Lord, it will not survive but righteousness shall prevail for those who love the Lord. God demands accountability. The rebellion continues…. (v. 41-50) ….Death by plague 14,700 Israelites.


Haftorah
The People rebel against Samuel (GOD)1 Samuel 12:7-15 (KJV) We want a King like other nations…A ruler over us! (1 Samuel 8:5)
1 Samuel 8:7 (KJV) And the LORD said unto Samuel, Hearken unto the voice of the people in all that they say unto thee: for they have not rejected thee, but they have rejected me, that I should not reign over them.
They desired worldly rule not Divine rule! Many of us desire religion rather than a personal relationship with Abba Father thru Jesus. The Spirit of religion is rebellious to Brotherly Love.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Bewitched Church of Laodicea. 2 Timothy 2:24-3:-9 (KJV) Accept in humility and with honor that you are a servant of the LORD. A time will come of unsound doctrine...deaf and dumb spirit! Today’s Laodicea is one of self-importance, pride, heightened self-esteem, self godliness. …Traitors of God with a corrupt /reprobate mind! Lacking knowledge of the Truth (God’s Word for righteous living and servitude for God). A church with famine of the Word of God.
Hosea 4:6 (KJV) My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Jude 1:1-16 (KJV) God’s wrath on rebellious angels. Satan is a rebellious being who was created by Jesus. Satan and his angels were cast out of Heaven. Satan hates humans who are in the image of Jesus. End time spiritual failure and lack of knowledge of God’s word is Korah’s Pit……Today’s bewitched Laodicea. ….Spirit of Rebellion! Rebellion is as witchcraft!
1 Samuel 15:23 (KJV) For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
Guard you mouth…words kill and curse others. Don’t come against the Lord’s anointed. 1 Chronicles 16:22 (KJV) Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Learn from Korah’s rebellion…bring not strife into the Body of Christ instead edify, comfort and exhort one another.
The Doctrine of Christ. Jesus is Son of God /Son of Man. Yeshua Jesus is All God and all man. 2 John 1:4-13 (KJV) The Pre-incarnate Christ….A Spirit? …Theophanies/Christophanies? …Creator of all things and holds them together. Became man born of virgin woman.
The Doctrine of Christ: 2 John 1:7 "For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist."
Today, Jesus exists as man at the right Hand of God (our image) 2 John 1:8-10 (KJV) Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:
“… this is love, that we walk after his commandments” The Doctrine of Christ underlies the doctrine of unbounded and unconditional agape love.
John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 15:13 (KJV) Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
The Doctrine of Christ underlies the doctrine of unbounded and unconditional agape love.
Be part of God’s Army…link your shields of faith with hooks of LOVE.
Freedom from bondage (consuming Spirit of Slumber; Deaf and Dumb Spirit; Spirit of Karah; Spirit of Rebellion; Spirit of Religion; and witchcraft) is Freedom in Christ …the law of Liberty. Stay focused…Don't partake of the religion of legalism as a part of you Judeo-Christian walk.
Move to be Christ- centered….. Exhort, edify and comfort one another daily! Harden not your heart.….for TODAY choose who you will serve!.

6-27-09 (5 Tammuz 5769)	Parasha Study #36	Hukat … “ Statutes”
Parasha Readings: Numbers 19:1-22:1; Judges 11:1-33; John 3:1-21; John 4:3-30, 12:27-50
Topic: God’s Immutable Word….His Truth ….The statutes are for our instructions in righteousness.
Without the Holy Spirit, we would find God’s Word too harsh. Jesus provided a Comforter for us. ….. Don’t reject Jesus; fess-up to your calling; don’t grieve the Holy Spirit.
Rock at Horeb! Who is the Rock at Horeb? It is a shadow of the Living waters of salvation to be poured-out on the Church
Malachi 4:4-5 (KJV) Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments. Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Lessons:
TORAH
Numbers 29:1-13 (KJV) The people “chide” Moses. Moses loses his “cool!” Moses offends God. Jesus commands us to love one another…even the rebel.
Luke 6:28 (KJV) Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
Pray that no one smite the Rock. …Living the Torah. Prophetically, Yeshua Jesus was smitten only once. Son of Man/Son of God…Doctrine of Christ. He is both Messiah Ben Joseph/ Messiah Ben David.

Haftorah
Judges 11:8-24 (KJV) The Lord can use anyone to promote His Kingdom , even the “son of a strange woman.” When He calls, can you stand against all odds? Do you stand Christ-centered or religion-centered?
Examine your foundation. Solid ground or “pit of Korah” Stand with the Armor of God: “So whomsoever the LORD our God shall drive out from before us, them will we possess.” (Judges 11:24 ).
Ephesians 6:10-19 (KJV) …stand.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 3:1-8 (KJV) What does born of flesh mean? What does born of the Spirit mean? What is unique about the Holy Spirit? 1. Agent of the Father & the Son within your Temple. 2. Is everywhere amongst sinful man …cannot be confined. 3. Fills the New Believer with his attributes (Isaiah 11:20), gifts and callings (your anointing) to edify the Body of Christ. 4. Seals you as a Child of God, a Son/Daughter/Heir..

Let’s examine the meaning of “to grieve or blasphemy the Holy Spirit.”
Matthew 12:31 Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. Eph 4:30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Matthew. 12:32. And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
Grieve not the power of the Holy Spirit by deny the manifestations of Baptism of the Holy Spirit to edify the Body. Matthew. 12:33 33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit.
John 4:9-15 (KJV) Do you understand “living water?” The Holy Spirit is not an abstract power likened unto “electricity.” He is the “Living God” of the burning bush in Agency….having all power and authority of the Father and Son.
John 4:23-24 (KJV) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
Do you understand Agency?
Jesus' Agency: John 12:49-50 (KJV) For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak. Your Agency: John 12:26 (KJV) If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. John 14:12 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Do you understand the uniqueness of the person of the Holy Spirit ?…..His Omnipresent role in the Body of Christ. Grieve not/nor Blasphemy the Holy Spirit nor his works that edify the Body of Christ. He is the Lord’s Agent who gives attributes, gifts, callings, and seals you for everlasting life…. He is the Comforter inside your Temple to keep you in Jesus Christ’s Image by your manifest Fruits of the Spirit.
Many in the Church believe that the manifest power of the Holy spirit was only for the Apostles. They criticize any Holy Spirit movement amongst the Body of Christ...denying tongues, prophecy and gifts. The soul shaking power of thew Holy Spirit is as real today as in the Hebrew Scriptures and Acts Church of Jesus Christ.
Act 2:4 (KJV) And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Act 2:15-21 (KJV) For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day. But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: (18) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: Tanach Holy Spirit manifestations: Numbers 11:24-25 (KJV); 1 Samuel 10:9-13
God is preparing an end time army. The HOLY SPIRIT is arming it with his attributes, gifts and callings… That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works (2Ti 3:17)

Parasha Readings: Numbers 22:2-25:9; Micah 5:7- 6:8; 2 Peter 2:1-22; Revelation 2:14-15.
Topic: Since the fall of Adam, mortal man’s has been in an eternal struggle of evil against good. A physical and spiritual warfare between the “seed” of the woman and the “seed” of the serpent.
A plan of the adversary to contaminate the seed” of the Promise--a people, a land, a Kingdom of God--
We are a sanctified people under attack by wolves in sheep clothes. Yeshua Jesus is the ONLY Way.
Recognize deception. Discern wolves in sheep clothing.
Lessons:
TORAH
Who is Balak and Balaam in today’s Torah Study? Balak means a waster, to annihilate, destroying.
Numbers 23:7-11 (KJV) Is Balaam a “good guy” or “bad guy?” What did he see when looked upon the Camp of Israel?
Balaam revealed! .
You cannot serve two gods (Double-minded ).
..The angel of the Lord did not take Balaam’s life! Then why did the Israelites take Balaam's life?
Numbers. 31:8c (KJV)…Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. Joshua 13:22 (KJV) Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them. Numbers 31:15-16 (KJV) And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive? Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
Balaam …means: 1. the destruction of the people; 2. swallowing up of the people; 3. the disturber of the People; 4. a swallowing /devouring/ destruction; . “Bal” means “nothing or a failure;” “am” …means “not of the people, a foreigner.” 6 A foreigner devouring the people of the Lord 7. Balaam was double-minded
Are you double-minded? James 1:8 (KJV) A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. What is the foundation of your house?
…. Christ-centered or religion?
Examine your relationship with Christ….
Do you enjoy fellowship with God (Elohim)? Or are you sensitive to sin? Do you obey the Word of God? Do you reject this evil world? Do you eagerly await Christ’s return? Do you see a decreased pattern of sin in your life? Do you love the body of Christ (Christian brother’s and sister’s)? Do you experience answered prayer? Do you discern between truth and error?
