5770 (2009-2010)

 

 

These 5770 Torah studies follow a partial format as used by First Fruits of Zion using the traditional Torah reading and readings from the New Testament (Brit Chadasha) from the Gospels and Book of Acts. To add Biblical enrichment content to this format, I have chosen to use Haftorah reading anywhere in Tanach as led by the Holy Spirit.

5770 Torah Study  #1

Bereisheet

“In the beginning…..”

Readings: Genesis 1:1-6:8, Isaiah 7:1-8:4; Matthew 1-2.

Topic: The “seed” of the woman-- The war of the “seeds.” Understand the metaphor of the Kingdom of Light vs. the kingdom of darkness. God had a reconciliation plan for the Creation. A Redeemer-God Himself must pay for our sin as evident of His sacrificial-unconditional love.
Lessons:

    TORAH

And the LORD God said unto the serpent…. Genesis 3:15 (KJV) “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
Thus, we have defined in Scripture the two “seeds.” …since then … a struggle between the “seeds” for the soul of mankind…. Light vs. darkness --Good vs. Evil
Genesis 4:1-13 KJV) These are the offspring of the seed of Adam. Satan begins a relentless struggle using portals of sin to enter the soul of man. The war between the righteous and unrighteous begins… Strife over Pleasing God! Why? --- Abel’s sacrifice was pleasing and Cain’s not? The war between good and wicked begins in free-willed beings---a war between darkness and light…between sweet and bitter- An example of our need for Torah….A plumb line to flee evil. Review of Chiastic Hebrew Poetry -Hebrew Parallelism.
Darkness cannot exist amongst Light. God separated darkness from the light in the beginning on the first day of creation. Satan was separated from God & from God’s Kingdom. The reason are given in
Ezekiel 28:14-16 KJV and Isaiah 14:11 KJV.
Cain was separated and marked to roam to and fro over the creation. Innocent blood was shed and the land cries out. Murder was not in the heart of man until pride and convent desires found a place in man’s being …trademarks of Satan. Who did Cain marry?
 

    HAFTORAH

A consortium between Syria and Ephraim (Samaria) are coming against the House of Judah (Isaiah 7:1-7)
Isaiah 7:10-14 (KJV) A sign of deliverance/Salvation..a maid/virgin (almaw) will conceive. Prophetic of near and distant and yet future fulfillment! Near ….Judah spared from the Assyrian-Ephraim consortium in days that Isaiah’s wife conceives her second son. Distant …Jesus is born to reconcile/save humankind. Virgin birth of Yeshua Jesus…Yet future.. The “Assyrian” & Samarian Palestinians will war against Israel, and God prevails for Israel when the final battle of the “seeds” is concluded.
“Seed of the woman” –A distant Prophecy known since the 4th day of Creation as was displayed in the Hebrew Mazzaroth. Job 38:32-33 (KJV) Astronomy is science of the celestial bodies of the Heaven. They exist with mathematical precision. Astrology is from Babylonian corruption of the Mazzaroth. It is zodiac fortunetelling, witchcraft, and demonic communication.
 

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Matthew 1:18-25 (KJV) Remember: The Hebraic custom of a Jewish wedding-2 parts.
The “seed” of the Woman is Yeshua Jesus. The Messiah is born of woman. He calls Himself the son of man. … “for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.” Proof?? Proof is in the Genealogy of Yeshua Jesus as presented in the Gospel of  Matthew 1:1-17 (KJV).
 

Matthew 1:1- 17 Jesus is the only Begotten Son of the Father. Begotten! Not created! God from God.
Hebrews 1:1-3 KJV God has a perfect Plan .

How do we in the Body of Christ turn from our wicked ways? Matthew 3:1-12 (KJV) What is John the Baptist’s message?
Matthew 4:12-17 (KJV) What is Yeshua Jesus’ message? Repentance leads to Restoration. An absolutely just and righteous God.

His Restoration plan can stand in any court of law. How does God answer the question: Is man’s heart innately wicked? Blame-shifting as did Adam and Eve. By the millennial reign of Christ!...Satan bound a 1000 years. Natural man’s heart is drawn to wickedness.

 “Go Out”

Readings: Genesis12:1-17:27; Judges 6:1-40; Matthew 5-7 (KJV).

Topic: God said to Abraham “go out.” We are to “go out” and bring in the Kingdom. We have a personal God –He interacts with us as Kingdom heirs. His Holy Spirit dwells within us as a “still soft voice.” He desires our fellowship as a people unto Himself- He provided access by a narrow pathway….Yeshua Jesus. Abba Father talks to you so you can adjust your walk (halacha) to reflect His WORD. Abraham heard God.
How do we hear from God? ....What voices can we Hear?

Self…flesh; edify self, self-esteem, pride, self importance.
Adversary… promotes bitter-root actions, double-mindedness, confusion.
God.. Edifies God, God’s Kingdom, preservation/cleaning of your Temple, makes you into the image of Jesus.

How does God speak to you? Audible voice..rare; Still soft voice..common; Circumstances …frequent; Scripture verses…. Frequent; Scriptures from Torah/Parasha study/Daily devotional/ Daily Bible studies/
Rhema; Visions/dreams/ Christophanies …sometimes; Word of Knowledge ….through a friend. ..on occasion; Angels…rare; -----God deals with us in covenants and His voice is edifying.
Your Halacha will reflect which voice is talking to you? You shall be known by your fruits…A “light” unto the world. Chastisement will mold you into the image of Christ.

Romans 3:22-25 (KJV) 22 Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;
Matthew 7:24-28 (KJV) These verses are the meat, the sustenance of Jesus’ message to us. What is your foundation? Your Halacha (walk)? Your manifest fruit? (Love, joy, peace, patience (long-suffering) goodness, kindness (meekness), gentleness, faithfulness, self-control. (Gal.5:22))

5770 Torah Study  #4

Vayera

“And He appeared”

Readings: Genesis 18:1-22:24; 1 Samuel 15:1-46; Matthew 8-10

Topic: Jesus appeared to destroy the works of the devil. Perverted wickedness is judged with God’s vengeance even before the final White Throne Judgment as in the evil of days of Noah …Sodom and Gomorrah. God’s mercy many times rescues His people (Israelites) and fallen believers and repentant sinners. Abba desires that none be lost but all mankind find salvation.

1 John 3:8 (KJV) “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.”
Avoid sin portals ..else wise your ship will sink.
Lessons:

    TORAH

Today’s reading: Abraham and Lot separate.

Background introduction to study: The name 'Dead Sea' is actually a kinder, gentler translation from the Hebrew name 'Yam ha Maved', which means, 'Killer Sea'.

The Dead Sea is 1,385 ft below sea level & its waters are 33.7% salinity; Salt Lake ~ 7 % (4,200 miles above sea level); Ocean ~ 3.5 %; salinity of Human body 0.91%.
An evil Pentapolis : The five (5) “Cities of the Plain”-Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim, and Bela (Zoar). These were cities along the fertile plains of the Jordan River. Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim were destroyed by fire and brimstone from Heaven. Lot fled to Zoar.
Josephas (TWoJ book 4 chapter 8) “This country of old was a most happy land, both for its fruits it bore and the riches of its cities, although it is now all burnt up.”

Why did God Judge these Plain cities?

Josephas describes the inhabitants (JA 1:194-195) as “proud of their numbers and extent of their wealth,” “insolent” (overbearing, arrogant, boldly disrespectful, contemptuous) , impious to the divinity ( disrespectful of God), “that they no more remembered the benefits that they received from Him” (Short Spiritual memory), avoided contact with others (cultish) - hated foreigners- indignant to strangers.
Philo of Alexandria describes the spiritual/social/moral attitude of these Plain cities people: sinful, gluttony, lewdness, unquenchable satiety, fleshly like cattle, with forbidden forms of sexual behaviors, adultery, homosexuality, transvestites in lavish dress of a voluptuous nature, plagued by infertility. Corrupting the whole of mankind with degeneration of their souls.
Why did God Judge these Plain cities? Man’s heart was continually evil with pride, lust of the flesh and sexual perversions.
Genesis 19:1-13 (KJV) All their lustful evil was evident to the Lord and He brought His judgment upon the lustful and the city.
Genesis 19:14-26 (KJV) A righteous remnant is saved through God’s Wrath. When leaving Sodom some will look back to their desirous ways of the flesh.

    HAFTORAH

Introduction: 1 Samuel 15:1-3 (KJV)
1 Samuel 15:13-24 (KJV) Do we feel justified bending the Commandments of the Lord? Obedience is better than sacrifice. King Saul’s sin portal was witchcraft and Idolatry. He feared man more than God.
Evil spirits look for an open portal. Disobedience invites the cursers of the Lord (Deuteronomy 28:15-68 (KJV)

Can a demon or Satan enter a human being? A Christian?

  • 1st demons were cast out occurred in a synagogue … Mark 1:21-27 (KJV)
  • God can turn you over to the devourer …Job
  • Remember Cain “sin lieth at the door. And to desire, and to rule in you.” (Genesis 4:7 Tisch-Interlinear Hebrew)
  • Take people captive 2 Timothy 2:26 (KJV)
  • Send them evil spirits 1 Samuel 16:14; 1 Kings 22:19-23 (intro. v. 6-8)
  • Satan can enter you John 13:26-27 (intro. 21)
  • Satan can fill your heart Acts 5:3 (KJV)

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Matthew 8-10 – The physical & spiritual healings of Yeshua Jesus.

Matthew 8:28-34 (KJV) Where did the demons go? Into unclean animals! Where is the abode of the demons?

Considerations of God’s Judgment of Sodom –Gomorrah: Today: Where is England in God’s eyes? Today: Where is America in God’s eyes?

LORD heal our land … A Time for Repentance

2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV) If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

Toldot

“Generations”

Readings:  Genesis 25:19-28:9; Ezekiel 29:1-6; Matthew 13-14.

Generations of man- תּוֹלְדוֹת -  at creation (Genesis 2:4)

How did we lose the vav? The first Adam brought sin into the creation-the serpent beguiled Eve. In the Hebrew language the vav is missing when the generation of the offspring since Adam are discussed and the second vav did not return in the Hebrew language in the spelling of generations (toldot ) until the generation prophetic of Messiah....restored by genealogy of Jesus. Ruth 4:18 (KJV) Now these are the generations- תּוֹלְדוֹת of Pharez. Since Adam/Eve a struggle of mankind between the flesh and spirit symbolic of the Kingdom struggle with sin. .

1Cor. 15:45-49 (KJV) And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.

Topic:God hates sin. Yet sin dwells within the Creation. Egypt is our testing ground. God will select between the wheat and tares ..you choose between wide or narrow path.
Habakkuk 1:13 (KJV) Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

    TORAH

Genesis 25:27-34 (KJV) Birthright is very important to the Hebrew/Jewish male! Birthright is very important to God! V. 6 .. Esau is Edom (Genesis 36:8 (KJV). Who are the sons of Esau? - The Edomites (Idumaeans) who reside in Jordan and their genealogy goes into the Roman emperors and into European royalty.

Malachi 1:1-5 (KJV) God hates Esau.

Esau’s grandson, Amalek, (Gen 36:12) is Israel’s ancient enemy: Ex. 17:16 KJV "For he said, Because the LORD hath sworn that the LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation." Amalek was the very first group to attack the freed Israelite slaves in wilderness (Ex. 17:8-16; Deu. 25:17). (Num. 24:20)

Fate of Esau (Edom) ..Edom prophesized to perish.

Numbers 24:20 (KJV) And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever.
Obadiah 1:2-4 (KJV) Behold, I have made thee (Edom) small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground? Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.
Joel 3:19-20 (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. But Judah shall dwell for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

 Who are the Fish? They are apostate Christians whose HALACHA is no longer with the Lord.… Fish (Christians)  not at the Lord’s Table!
1Cor. 10:20-21 (KJV) But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 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.
Who are the birds and beasts?....They are the guests at The Feast of Leviathan! Revelation 19:17-18 (KJV); Revelation 19:19-21 (KJV);

Revelation 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.
Revelation 19:19-21 (KJV) And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army. And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone. And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which sword proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh.

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Matthew 15:21-28 (KJV) Let’s examine Jesus’ Ministry.
John 1:11 (KJV) He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
 

Romans 1:16 (KJV) For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.
 

Matthew 10:5-8 (KJV) These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

John 10:15-16 (KJV) As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

Concern for the “Lost Sheep/Tribes” …

John 7:34-35 (KJV) Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come. Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
 

James 1:1 (KJ V) James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting.
 

1 Peter 1:1 (KJV) Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

1 Peter 2:5-10 (KJV) Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ. Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded. Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner, And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

 

 

Matthew 16:13-19 (KJV) Peter you got it!...I am the Rock of the Whole of the Scriptures. The Church is built upon Yeshua Jesus not Peter! 

Ephesians 2:19-20 (KJV) Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God; And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;

The Church is the congregation (Kahol)…God’s people.

“And he sent”

Readings: Genesis 32:4-36:43; Hosea 1:1-2:1,14:8-9; Matthew 17-18.

Topic: Divine Grace and Life is our perfection in Christ as we are led by the Holy Spirit to be righteous and unencumbered before God. Forgive one another.
 

It’s a struggle: God with sinners. Us with our natural self against God’s Spirit. Get rid of bitter roots.

Mark 11:25-26 (KJV) And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

Casting doubt on the Truth of Mark 11:25-26 (KJV). The discrediting of the Word of God .But…but those are not Jesus’ Words! Quoted from the NIV, RSV, NASB: “The most reliable early manuscripts (codex Siniatus & Vaticanus) and other ancient witnesses do not have Mark 16:9-20” …..However, by 2 witnesses, The  Holy Spirit’s contests the deletion as it found in Matthew 6:14-15 (NIV) “ For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. 15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.” Is someone tinkering with God's Word?

Interestingly, in the mid 2nt century (~150 AD) both Irenaeus and Hypolatus quote Mark 16:9-20. The Greek Textus Receptus is the older manuscript not the codex Vaticanus and Siniatus.
Lessons:

    TORAH

Genesis 27:41 (KJV) “And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I slay my brother Jacob.” As Jacob leaves Laban and prepares to meet Esau. He remembers Esau’s hatred toward him.
Genesis 32:1-12 (KJV) What is the issue facing Jacob? A dysfunctional family with unforgiveness and no brotherly love. They are preparing to meet face to face. Does God provide angels when you have contention and strife? Esau is portrayed as an adversary coming against Israel (Jacob’s new name)….. Prophetic??
How does Jacob prepare for an engagement battle? ……2 camps ..Wisdom of Jacob? A Wisdom of God? Prophetic of tribes of Israel.
Jacob had to deal with God first before dealing with Esau!...In preparation for warfare... first get things right with God.

    HAFTORAH

Hosea 1:1-2:4 (KJV) Hosea takes an adulterous wife portraying what? Spiritual warfare!
The “seeds” are struggling for the soul of Humankind! Abba Father has a plan and reveals it it the Book of Hosea!

Prophetic meaning Hebrew names:

Hosea- Salvation; God is salvation; causing to save.
Gomer- completion; perfection; conclusion; ripeness of consummated wickedness.

Prophetic meaning Hebrew names of children:

Son-Jezereel – to sow; to scatter; God sows.
Daugter - Lo-Ruhamah –not having mercy; not pitied;
Son –Lo-Ammi – Not my people; not of my people.

Hebrew prefex “Lo” means “no or not.” Restoration: Hosea 2:1 (KJV) ..God’s example of the meaning of forgiveness. …The “Lo” is removed.
In the Book of Hosea God uses metaphors to show His Restoration Plan by dispersing/scattering the Northern Kingdom (Ephraim)….. Gomer- the adulterous wife (Idolatrous Israel) returns to her husband. (Hosea 1:10-11; 2:14-23; 3:4-5; 11:10-11; 14:4-7 (KJV)
Hosea 14:8 (KJV) "Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard him, and observed him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is thy fruit found."

God’s forgiveness is His righteous Justification …..

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool."
 

What is your level of forgiveness of a brother/sister? …Conditional or unconditional?

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Matthew 18:21-35 (KJV) Peter's question: Is there a limit to forgiveness… Remember ...Vengeance is mine saith the Lord..
“ten thousand talents”.. An immeasurable amount of currency!
Solomon received 666 gold talents a year (2 Chr. 10:13) A talent of silver in Israel weighed about 100 pounds. A talent of gold in Israel weighed about 200 pounds.
The purchasing power of 10,000 talents in 2009 US money with silver @ $18.00/oz ($29,000) and gold @ $1,100/oz) ($35 million) …..
We forgive because we have been forgiven by God, and no offence against us can remotely compare with the incalculable amount we have been forgiven by the price of Yeshua Jesus’ death. The Bride price was paid by the Father.
Propitiation: Why was such a large price required to free us from debt (bondage). Galatians 2:21 (KJV)

Considering God’s provision for forgiveness ---Can you not forgive your brother his pence’s (denarii)..

How can I forgive when it hurts so much?
LORD”S PRAYER: Matthew 6:12 (KJV) “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.”
 

Little children forgive one another as our heavenly Father has forgiven you.

“And he dwelt”

Readings: Genesis 37:1-40:23; Daniel 2:1-36; Matthew 19-20.
 

Topic: Salvation to the Gentiles! A prophetic message for those with eyes to see and ears to hear. Joseph is a fruitful branch amongst the hostile nations. He is that strong arm sent into the Gentile world to bring “Abraham’s seed” back into the land in the Millennial Kingdom age…A re-gathering of the House of Jacob. Joseph went amongst the Gentiles and was assimilated. God's plan was to sow the “seed” of a fruitful branch amongst the Egyptians (world).

Israelites behold the world but…Yet, look up for your Kingdom Rewards/Treasures.

Lessons:

    TORAH

 

Genesis 37:1-11 (KJV) Joseph, a “dreamer,” and interpreter of dreams. He interpreted the dreams of the butler, the baker & the pharaoh of Egypt. What does Joseph’s dreams mean? Are they prophetic? Did Joseph’s Dream come to past?

Joseph’s Prophecy by Moses Deuteronomy 33:17 (KJV) "His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh."
Jacob’s Prophecy for Joseph is fulfilled in his mixed gentile-Hebrew sons! Genesis 48:19-21 (KJV)
Genesis 48:19-21 (KJV) "And his father refused, and said, I know it, my son, I know it: he also shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. (20) And he blessed them that day, saying, In thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as Ephraim and as Manasseh: and he set Ephraim before Manasseh. (21) And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, I die: but God shall be with you, and bring you again unto the land of your fathers."
Prophecy of Jacob to Joseph….  Prosperity amongst the nations!
Genesis 49:22-26 (KJV) "Joseph is a fruitful bough, even a fruitful bough by a well; whose branches run over the wall: (23) The archers have sorely grieved him, and shot at him, and hated him: (24) But his bow abode in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the mighty God of Jacob; (from thence is the shepherd, the stone of Israel:) (25) Even by the God of thy father, who shall help thee; and by the Almighty, who shall bless thee with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lieth under, blessings of the breasts, and of the womb: (26) The blessings of thy father have prevailed above the blessings of my progenitors unto the utmost bound of the everlasting hills: they shall be on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of the head of him that was separate from his brethren."
but How?.....“ and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.” ..scattered & preserved…
 A Hebrew disowned by his brothers in a gentile world.  But remember:
Hosea 1:4 Son-Jezreel – to sow; to scatter; God sows.  

Amos 9:9 (KJV) For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth.

    HAFTORAH

Another Dreamer: The Time of the Gentiles. Introduction: Daniel 2:1-7 (KJV)
 

Daniel 2:24-36 (KJV) A dream of Gentile nations which will hold the Jew in captive even unto the end.
It is the History of the Jew amongst the nations.

 

Out of its chaff comes the Messianic Kingdom from Jerusalem.
 

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Matthew 19:16-30 (KJV). We can build a mountain of wealth- possessions-riches on Earth. We hold onto them dearly. Can you take them to Heaven? Can the rich man go to heaven.. YES. .. Jesus asks “What is his priority?”

Priority…..live in humility-love-forgiveness- obedient to God’s WORD. ..This is indeed the key to the Kingdom of Heaven.
Your fruitfulness is in giving all to God…be unencumbered. Remember we are not of this world. It is our testing Ground … We are heirs to a heavenly inheritance.
If we have “forsaken all”…What shall we Have?...Your hundredfold rewards are in Heaven!
Matthew 5:11-12 (KJV) "Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."
Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)” Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”

Message for today …What and where are your Rewards and Treasures? Lay them up in Heaven by Love, Forgiveness, Humility, Serving, Giving and Obedience to God’s Word.

“At the end”

Readings: Genesis 41:1-44:17; 2 Samuel 12:1-25; Matthew 22-23.

TOPIC: Righteous living requires moral and spiritual accountability …be intellectually honest in your walk. You are always combating the self. Your sins bring self destruction and have a consequence. God’s justice prevails even when you are confident in your deception. “At the end” you face total accountability to God. Repent so He doesn’t see your sin. God show no partiality to sinners. Even King David the “man after the Lord’s Own Heart” was judged and found guilty.

    TORAH

Introduction: Genesis 42:1-4 (KJV) A great famine was over all the world- A rumor of sustenance, provisions in Egypt. Jacob says to his sons: fetch corn that we may live & not die.
Genesis 42:7-24 (KJV) Joseph recognized his brethren, but they knew him not! Just as Joseph was cast into a pit- so also -were his brothers put in an Egyptian prison for 3 days. 
 

They bear the guilt of their sin against Joseph (verse 21-23).They remembered! It is very difficult to forget your sin (s).

Why did Joseph choose Simeon to be held an Egyptian hostage?

    HAFTORAH

 

2 Samuel 12:1-15 (KJV) King David found favor in the eyes of God. Does God show partiality to persons?

King David had a generational curse….lust of the eyes and sexual impulsiveness….Psalm 51:5 (KJV) “Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.”

Observe replicating Hebraic Chiastic structure in Psalm 51:5. Do you see the generational curse?

King David had 9+ wives and many concubines- He committed adultery with Bathsheba. His son Amnon rapes Tamar, his daughter. Absalom went in to his father’s concubines in the sight of all Israel.
King Solomon has 700 wives and 300 concubines.
continuing ...2 Samuel 12:1-15 (KJV)…You cannot escape your sin. God knows even your thoughts. King David could not control the lust of the eyes and the flesh. He despised the Commandments of the Lord! (Thou shall not commit adultery or murder.)
 

God sent Nathan, the prophet, to reveal the breach in David’s life.

Lord have mercy, cleanse me, forgive, restore, deliver, keep me meek and humble-give me a clean heart….Psalm 51

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Matthew 23:1-14 (KJV) Jesus returns to the Temple for Passover. The Lamb of God is examined by the religious leaders for blemishes. Yeshua Jesus best defies religion vs. a personal relationship with the Father in speaking to the people. These judgmental religious leaders sit in Moses seat. They know Torah but put man’s dogma around the Commandments and do contrary to the Word of God.
These ministers of God can be deceptive and misleading. You must have discernment.. Know the Scriptures….God’s WORD. In these end times, beware of false teachers and preachers. They are as a sheep in wolves clothes.

Neon Lights…. 8 Woes against Pharisees….

 Ye hypocrites

1. They shut-up the Kingdom of Heaven
2. They mesmerize and entice widows with long religious prayers.
3 The search diligently to proselytize your religious viewpoints and lead you to hell.
4. They make usury of the Temple for profit.
5. They place emphasis on collecting tithes not on Torah; they lacking judgment, mercy and faith.
6. They appear “religious” on the outside but inside you are extortionists who live in excess.
7. They are full of pride but manifest dead bones inside.
8. They killed the prophets who were sent to fill the Torah breaches; yet they decorate their tombs.
Jesus condemns the Scribes and Pharisees: … Ye hypocrites

Matthew 23:33 (KJV) Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
John 8:44 (KJV) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

God knows the deception of your heart. Sins haunt the believer. What is done in secrecy will come to light. Sin places you under the curses of the Torah. (Deuteronomy 28:15-68 (KJV)
Matthew 15:18-19 (KJV) But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
Distinguish between the religion of the Pharisees & Scribes and reality of being Christ-like.

John 6:27(KJV) Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed.

Conformation! ...Revival in the Spirit…..??Jacob ---Israel ??                        ...Genesis 45:26-28 (KJV)

Ezekiel 39:8-15 (KJV) What did we just read?...Timing? This is after the Gog/Magog invasion of Israel…sounds nuclear!

Zephaniah 3:9 (KJV)  What is a “pure Language?” Verse 8 is prophetic of this pure tongue being the Hebrew language as all Hebrew letters and soffit (final) forms appear in this verse!
לָכֵן חַכּוּ-לִי נְאֻם-יְהוָה לְיוֹם קוּמִי לְעַד כִּי מִשְׁפָּטִי לֶאֱסֹף גוֹיִם לְקָבְצִי מַמְלָכוֹת לִשְׁפֹּךְ עֲלֵיהֶם זַעְמִי כֹּל חֲרוֹן אַפִּי כִּי בְּאֵשׁ קִנְאָתִי תֵאָכֵל כָּל-הָאָרֶץ
A dead language restored! Yes, restored for these end times  as the vernacular Hebrew tongue by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, Father of the modern Hebrew language.
Zephaniah 3:8-20 (KJV) I will remove the “goats” from amongst you.. see verse 11. And keep the sheep…see verse 12.

These are millennial reign of Christ passages verse 15-17.

A Restoration of captivity! He shall take captivity captive unto Himself.

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

What Tribulation event is pivotal in separating the Sheep from the Goats?

Setting-up a Kingdom : What are the requirements?... A Righteous Ruler/the Holy Land/Righteous people after the sheep and goat judgment. …A further sifting -sieving of the posttribulation remnant.
When does the “Son of man” come again?...In which mo’ed??

Meaning of “done unto my brethren.”...Jesus is a Jew- an Israelite. Figure it out!

What is the fate of the Goats? Now only righteous earth-dwellers serving a righteous King from Jerusalem.

Prepare ye yourselves for the Kingdom….. N O W …. Great is the harvest.. but few are the workers! Turn from yourself to others as some spend too much time and effort in self preservation and forsake the assembly of brothers/sisters and the needs of a spiritually dying world.

Remember we are ONE FAMILY OF GOD. Forgive and unite with brethrens as did Joseph and the clan of Jacob.

“And He lives”

Readings: Genesis 47:28-50:26; Biblical Archeology (Shroud of Turin; Matthew 26-28

TOPIC “And He lives.” The grave could not hold Him. “It is done!” He has RISEN! He waits to give His Bride in an Immortal- Imperishable body.

Our lives are as vapor (James 4:14)… We go from season to season (Ecc. 3:1-9).

Our end it is dust to dust…. Except for the believing overcomer in Christ for when absent from the Body, you are present with the Lord. Unbelievers must await the resurrection to the White Throne Judgment.

 

    TORAH

Genesis 49:29-50:3 & 50:13-14 (KJV) Jacob is put to rest. His body is held in Egypt for forty days of mourning. He is buried in the land of Canaan (Judea)-God’s Promised land, in the cave of the family burial site at Makpêlâh (mak-pay-law‘.) They mourned 7 days.
Joseph dies…Genesis 50:18-26 (KJV) Remember: It is difficult to forget your sins. V.19 -Don’t bow to me I’m but a mere man. Note, foremost position of Ephraim over Manasseh.
“God will visit you” X2. (Exodus 3:16) A spiritual or physical visitation?? (Exodus 4:16; 7:1) God visits through agency.
Embalmed? --- Note, embalming tools found in Egyptians Tombs- Also mummification? How extensive was Joseph’s knowledge of Egyptian burial procedures?
12th Egyptian dynasty of Middle Kingdom in Egyptian history was under Amenemhet III at the time of Joseph. The 12th dynasty ended in the confusion of the Second Intermediate Period (13th to 17th Dynasty). Joseph was familiar with Egyptian burial procedures from the Necropolis of Amenemhet I to Amenemhet III being adjacent to his granary/warehouses for holding provisions for the worldwide famine.

Joseph’s “bone box,” Sarcophagus was taken back to Judea. (Exodus 13:19 (KJV)

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Yeshua Jesus preparation for burial: Matthew 26:6-13 (KJV) What was the ointment in the alabaster jar?---(John 12:3 (KJV))
Matthew 27:57-60 (KJV) Remez …… John 19:38-42 (KJV) and Song of Solomon 1:12 -14 (KJV)
How was Yeshua Jesus buried? “After the manner of the Jews” Example Lazarus.(John 11:43-44 (KJV)
Matthew 28:1-6 (KJV) He is risen! -On the evening of the Biblical Sabbath, as it was leading into the next day…Sunday. Jesus was exactly 3 days and 3 night in the grave as was Jonah in the belly of the whale. He arose on the closure of the Sabbath as the FirstFruits of the Barley harvest was offered on Sunday by High Priest –Jesus was to present Himself to the Father as FirstFruits.

 

What made them believe? What did John see and believe? (John 20:3-8 (KJV) Empty grave clothes!

 

Remember: 100 pounds of aloe and myrrh were used in the manner of Jewish burial? -- Would you believe?

Is the Shroud of Turin consistent with ancient Hebrew/Jewish practices?

 “Names”

Readings: Exodus 1:1-6:1; Jeremiah 1:1-19; Isaiah 6:1-9; Mark 1-2.

TOPIC: A COMMISSION! …… “Called-out” one -- a Sokhen ----------------“Sent-out” one— a Shalach.
GOD'S Agency …… Where are You?
 שׁלח shâlach shaw-lakh‘ to appoint, to send (away, forth, out), set, shoot (forth, out), sow, spread, stretch forth (out).

Mark 16:20 (KJV) And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen. …

Power of the WORD

 

    TORAH

Agency defined: 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.”
Moses was the earthly representative of God. God’s Agents are to be busy about doing the Master’s work. As an agent, you have full power & all authority of the person who sent you.
Exodus 3:1-22 (KJV). Is El Shaddai the God of the dead or living? (Matthew 22:31-32 (KJV) ..... “I AM” .…… Eternal! Moses was a “sent-out one?” … שׁלח shâlach . As God’s agent, he confirms and fulfills Joseph’s prophecy (Genesis 50:24-25) that God will visit them- through His Agent Moses.
God’s prophetic plan to deliver His people is foretold in verses 17-22.

    HAFTORAH

Jeremiah 1:1-11 (KJV) Abba Father knows your beginning and end before you were created! Vessels of destruction are created anyhow…free-will determination. Everyone has an equal opportunity to receive Jesus.
I shall send thee….Agent of the Lord. God’s Holy Spirit will put the words in our mouth.
What is the rod of the almond tree?
Introduction Isaiah 1:2-6 (KJV) …. Isaiah 6:1-9 (KJV). Where is Isaiah taken? What is 1st needed to be done for Isaiah before commissioning? He was told to take care of his “unclean lips” and those of his people who live not hearing or understanding God’s Word!
 

Remez …How do we understand unclean lips? ....Matthew 15:11 (KJV)

God chooses agents but….He wants them righteous to bring others into His righteousness. One must surrender entirely to God the Father through Jesus--- It is your choice to do God’s Work. We live on God’s WORD. Matthew 4:4 (KJV)

2 Corinthians 5:9-10 (KJV) 9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Mark 1-11 (KJV) Remez…. Malachi 3:1-3 (KJV) Can you see the gap? Both comings of the Lord: 1st Coming preceded by a messenger (agent); 2nd Coming as a righteous conquering King/Ruler. Agency for Yeshua Jesus verse 7-8.
Matthew 3:13-17 (KJV) …meaning? What righteousness needed fulfilled??
Where are you in doing God’s work? Our Great Commission …Agency. Yes, Where are you in doing God’s work? Have you led anyone to salvation?
 

Reach out and be busy about the Master’s work!

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 (Agent). 19 Go ye therefore (agency), 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 always, (Principle person) even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Va’era ..

 “And I appeared”

Readings:  Exodus 6:2-9:35; 1 Kings 18:1-40; Mark 3

TOPIC: “And I appeared” ….The finished work of the Cross: sin/death/Satan defeated. Yeshua Jesus assures us that He appeared to set us free from the works of the Devil…. A struggle of light vs. darkness.

 Luke 10:18 (KJV) “And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”

Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV).

1 John 3:8b (KJV)… For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. .

 

    TORAH

Exodus 7:7-13 (KJV); Exodus 7:20-22 (KJV); Exodus 8:1-7 (KJV); Exodus 8:16-19 (KJV)
Now the undeniable wrath of God was evident and fear fell upon the Egyptians. There will be signs and wonders from the enemy.. but His power is limited. The plagues are directed at the Egyptian gods- A war of pagan gods with Our God- Spiritual warfare: Light vs. darkness.

    HAFTORAH

Introduction: 1 Kings 18:17-19 (KJV) …Shoot out at OK corral. God’s agent, Elijah, as one man of God comes against 850 Baal’s priesthood of the dark side. Can pagan darkness prevail against God’s Agent?
 

1 Kings 18:25-40 (KJV). Frustration of priests of Baal…

Elijah mocks them: “My God has no obstacles …Lay on the water…douse the logs…soak them.”

 

The battle is mine says the Lord as He comes against the gods of Jezebel…the Baals- A war of pagan gods against our God.
 

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Introduction: God’s Holy Spirit Power in Yeshua Jesus' ministry…. Mark 3:10-12 (KJV)
John 5:19-20 (KJV) "Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him (the Son) all things that himself (God the Father) doeth: and he (God the Father) will shew him (Jesus) greater works than these, that ye may marvel."
AGENCY- Jesus’ might works were done by the Holy Spirit of the Father.

We are not defenseless against the “wiles of the devil?” We Have the Holy Spirit! John 14:12 (KJV)----- “greater works???

Mark 3:20-30 (KJV) Your Temple cannot be a house divided! Choose this day whom you will serve? -- Almighty Father by the Blood of Jesus or Ha’ Satan? Now man can serve two masters?

Matthew 6:24 (KJV) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” (the world—flesh)!!
Father God prevails for those whom serve Him. As the Body of Christ, let us link our shields and stand on the WORD. Our power is in unity!

Luke 10:19 (KJV) 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.

Is there a demonic strongman holding you against your free-will -so that you cannot choose Salvation and have a complete relationship with the Father through Jesus Christ?
Matthew 10:28 (KJV) "Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell"

Earth is God‘s testing ground of free-will beings. .. Isaiah 45:18 (KJV); 1 John 2:15-17 (KJV)
Blasphemy of Holy Spirit is explained in this parable...Examine it closely! Don't deny the power of the Holy Spirit! Don't deny that God's Agents (Jesus, us) do the work of the ministry through the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Don't grieve the Holy Spirit's ministry on Earth.

Is Hell Real?

Bo

“Come”

Readings: Exodus 10:1-13:6; Jeremiah 23:1-15; Mark 4-5

TOPIC: Understanding the struggle between light vs. darkness. War of Gods/War in You!
Before the foundations of the creation, our Creator Father knew that created-beings –given free-will- would struggle with self-will. Love establishes obedience not rebellion. “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” (John 14:15)
 

John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.
1 John 1:5 (KJV) This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

    TORAH

Exodus 10:21-29 (KJV) Darkness over all of the land corresponds to the Lord’s wrath of Revelation (4th trumpet & 5th vial). War is against which god(s) of Egypt? The Egyptians differentiated among the aspects of their gods-they had several sun gods: Khepri for the rising sun, Ra, at noon and Atum at the setting. Most all the Pagan religions had their sun gods. They worship the elements of nature.
To understand the battle between light and darkness, you need to review and understand Chiastic Hebrew poetry using Hebrew parallelism.

Isaiah 5:20 (KJV) Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Darkness is the pit of hell!
Job 10:19-22 (KJV) I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little, Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death; A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
When did darkness first appear in the Scriptures?
Genesis 1:2 -3 (KJV) A paar zman .. A creation spiritual gap!
Genesis 1:2 -3 (KJV) And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved.

    HAFTORAH

How does darkness come upon a People? It starts in the Church leadership!
Jeremiah 23:1-15 (KJV) Apostasy starts at the pulpit. Infusion of Greco-Roman –pagan thought into the 1st century Church. The 17- 18th Century heralds German “higher critics.” Seminary schools have been brainwashed by man’s higher intellect and deception by the advesary! Let us put it in computer language!.... GIGO (garbage in /garbage out)!
 Apostasy is seen in our Church history…History of 7 Churches of Revelation.
What does the apostle Peter say?(2 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV)

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

 

Mark 4:21-25 (KJV) A parable. Is there one message here? Looks like alphabet soup! Light-secret(s)- “measured mete”-give to the “hath” but not to the “hath nots?”

Mark 4:21 “And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick?” Rhetorical pun… How do you treat/manifest your Light of Christ-in you?......are you a “hath” or “hath not.”
Psalm 18:28 (KJV) For thou wilt light my candle: the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
Psalm 27:1 (KJV) The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Mar 4:22 “ For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad.” Religion or a personal relationship…God knows. ...as He may say “I never knew you” (Matthew 7:23). God’s presence shall be evident in your life!
 

Psalm 43:3 O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me; let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles.

Mark 4:23 “If any man have ears to hear, let him”
Mark 4:24 “And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given.” What is you measuring rod or plumb line to mete against?

Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119:130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

Mark 4:25 “For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath. Need a clue?”This is your parable of your light! Do you understand it?

Psalm 112:4 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
Proverb 13:9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

If any man have ears to hear, let him hear…neon lights. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by The Word of God. (Romans 10:17)

What is your Halacha?
 

Confirmatory Remez verses: Romans 14:10; 2 Cor. 5:10; Gal. 6:7;Eph 6:8; Col. 3:23-25; Rev. 22:12.

Act 26:15-18 KJV) Paul’s Commission is our commission...Mandate for the Body of the Church.

Act 26:18 KJV) To open their eyes (eyes of people of the nations), and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.

Matthew 5:14-16 (KJV)14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

Beshalach

 “When he sent”

Readings: Exodus 13:7-17:16; Mark 6

TOPIC: Be an Overcomer. Israelites stop your grumbling and murmuring and feeling sorry for yourself…enough woe is me.. Oh ye of little faith.
 Believers have within them the “living water” of life. Don’t lose track of Christ by yourself preoccupation issues! Grumblings-self piety and living in the past…Leave Egypt behind you.

 

 

    TORAH

Moses left Egypt with Israelites of the 12 tribes –men (20 years and upward that were able to go to war) & their wives, unmarried women, children, elderly and a mixed multitude of Egyptians (the sojourner amongst them).
Exodus 17:1-7 (KJV) They became a murmuring-grumbling lot. It was Moses & Aaron vs. 3 million stiff-necked Jews? “You want to kill us and our children of thirst” We need go back to Egypt!
Examine their track record: Exodus 15:24; 16:2-3.
How often are you driven by passion to return to Egypt? To the ways of your flesh and lust!
 

Who is the ROCK? What flows from the ROCK? Yeshua is Salvation –our ROCK. Our Rock? (1Cor. 10:1-6).

The Rock is The Right Hand of the Lord! Where else in the today’s Torah is there salvation through water by God’s Right Hand? Exodus 14:10-14 (KJV)
Where else in the Torah is there water from the Rock? The Rock is prophetic!
Numbers 20:2-13 (KJV) Anger is never your solution in a problem. Moses’ fate..Deuteronomy 32:48-51 (KJV).
Deu 34:7 And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated.
Prophetically: the Rock will not be smitten twice. Speak to the rock for living water for the Jew “Baruch Haba B’Shem Adonai”

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Mark 6:45-52 (KJV) Remez by second witness. Matthew 14:26-31 (KJV)
What claim of authority is Yeshua Jesus making? “I have power and authority over the elements of creation and the abode of the adversary.”
What is wavering Faith? Any example from today’s teaching?-Peter!

How strong is your faith for trials & tribulations?

 Yitro

 “Jethro”

Readings: Exodus 18:1-20:26, Ezra 3:1-5, Nehemiah 8:8-18, Mark 7-8.

TOPIC: The Commandments are instructions unto righteous on how to please God and stay in His presence. To the unbeliever, the wicked & the whoremonger, they are meaningless words.
 

The Right Hand of God is the WORD from Mt Sinai. John 1:1-5 (KJV)..Darkness comprehends it not. Romans 7:12 (KJV) Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

How do we get desensitized to God’s WORD? How are people, a nation or nations indoctrinated and assimilated into corrupt beliefs.

 

    TORAH

Exodus 19:14-19 (KJV) Are we prepared for the 3rd day?? The time is short!- God's 6000 year plan.
 

The call to revival is one to clean-up the Bride/Church. How can a Bride amidst her idols be clean wearing pagan customs & traditions?....Awake!

 How should the Bride present herself to the Bridegroom? She should be perfect as is the chosen red heifer. a Spotless for Messiah Yeshua Jesus.

Hear the thunder and call of the Shofar… see the lightening & fire of God! AWAKE…Hear (Shema) God’s Voice.
 Return to the Faith once delivered to the Saints. Is your bridal wear the feasts of man or the Feasts of the Lord (Lev. 23)? You cannot serve God and eat at the table of devils.
 

Exodus 20:1-23 (KJV) “These Commandments of God are too harsh on our ears….” Moses you speak to God on our behalf. They could not escape their religious Egyptian indoctrination.
 

    HAFTORAH

Ezra 3:1-5 (KJV) In 536 BC a faithful remnant of Jews under Zerubabbel left Babylon and returned to Jerusalem. Of six million only 42,300 returned from out of Babylon (Egypt)…<1%. ---If their Babylonian numbers were 3 million then only 1.5% returned.  Note most Jews stayed in Babylon. In 722 BC the Northern Tribes were dispersed ....“Lost 10 tribes”
 

Failure to leave the plush life in Babylon accounts for the “lost 12 tribes”

There were 3 Biblical re-gatherings to Judea from Babylon.
#1 ..536 BC…The returning of a faithful remnant under Zerubabbel .
#2.. 457 BC --Ezra returns with 1837 males from sons of 12 families. .. plus Levites (Ezra 8:1-20 (KJV)
# 3… 444 BC ---Nehemiah returns with exiles ..(Nehemiah 2:1-11)
Nehemiah 8:8-18 (KJV) The remnant of Zerubabbel were Jews eager to return home ..They knew God’s Word and kept His Feasts. Under Nehemiah they were over 162 years since their Babylonian captivity in 606 BC. They lived in the cities of Judea and many were without Torah knowledge. They were Babylonianized in the Aramaic language. example..names of Hebrew months!
Ezra found a Torah scroll and read Torah from morning to mid day on 1st of Tishri? What Feast day…days?? They had left pagan customs & feast traditions to rediscover the fullness of the Feasts of the Lord!

 

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Mark 7:1-9 (KJV) What is the Oral Torah? (Mishnah) What are the traditions of the elders? Your doctrine has become the commandments of men. Beyond the Commandments of God’s Torah, you have imposed the traditions of man. You hypocrites.. you reject the Commandments of God! The traditions of men are Church History.

Today, the Church is embellished in religiosity. …..….THINK!

….THINK!
Are we to be content with Church dogma or God’s Word? Do we have the Faith once delivered to the saints? Has Church dogma incorporated the traditions of the Pagans…yes or no??

When did it start? Ante Nicene fathers incorporated Alexandrian thought into the infant Church.. The Church was feeding on polluted milk. The snow ball begins…. .Nicolaitans.. Constantine….Church of Rome…...Gnostics …man’s higher critical thought…… the New and Revised Bible Versions. Satan is the great deceiver; he mimics God’s actions … Feast of man vs. Feasts of the Lord!
 

THINK

Who tried to thwart the genealogy of Jesus?
Who is behind infiltrating the Church & deceiving Christians?
Who puts stumbling blocks in believer’s path to impede their obedience & fellowship with God?

2 Thessalonians 3:6 (KJV) Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us.
2 Thessalonians 2:15 (KJV) Therefore, brethren, stand fast, and hold the traditions which ye have been taught, whether by word, or our epistle.

Short spiritual memory: Exodus 19:8 (KJV) And all the people answered together, and said, All that the LORD hath spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people unto the LORD.

Return to your First love. Keep the traditions of men out of My Church!

Readings: Exodus 21:-24:18; Daniel 10:1-21; Mark 9.

TOPIC: The Holy Spirit presents Jesus as the Goal of OT scriptures, being revealed in the NT where the “mysteries” of Christ’s Gospel of Salvation to life not death is given to both Jew and Gentile. The WORD became flesh and dwelt amongst us. Jesus’ concealed agency is in the Tanach
2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV) 3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: 4 In whom the god of this world (Satan) hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

    TORAH

Exodus 23:20-33 (KJV) Who is the angel of the Lord? A Theophany/Christophany?
Supernatural appearances of Christ before he became man to walk amongst us in Judea.

Daniel 10:1-11 (KJV) What about this man? What identifies His deity? His Awesome nature…
Daniel call Him “Lord.” Mouth of the Lord … “voice of the multitudes;” “and his voice as the sound of many waters.”…….Remez
Revelation 1:10-18 (KJV)…great voice, the sound of many waters; one like unto the Son of man; with a golden girdl ; hairs were white as snow; his eyes were as a flame of fire; feet like unto fine brass; mouth went a sharp two edged sword; his countenance was as the sun shineth; I fell at his feet as dead.
 

 

Now what now jumps off the pages of Daniel 10:1-11 (KJV)? Gold Belt of Truth….God’s WORD; Beryl ….Holiness attire; Shekinah glow …Light of the World… deity of GOD; Judgmental eyes ..will pierce your soul; Arm/feet Brass…again judgment of you walk (Halacha); Voice..many waters… Comfort of Hebrew language

Pure beryl is colorless, called Goshenite, but it is frequently tinted by impurities; possible colors are green, blue, yellow, red, and white.
Celestial manifestations of God’s Presence amongst us. Tanach Theophanies /Christophanies Revealed in New Testament.

    NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT  CHADASHA)

Mark 9:2-13 (KJV) A glimpse of a celestial staff meeting!Who are the two witnesses in Book of Revelation? Scripture interprets scripture! Whose Miracles ..Rev 11:17.

Yeshua Jesus in His Shekinah.

 

Now a test….for you! ….Who is the Mighty Angel in Revelation 10:1-3 (KJV)

Now back to Elijah ..Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead.(1 kings 17:1)
“Tishbite means “stranger” "Elijah the stranger from among the strangers in Gilead.“ A Raptured Gentile!
Jesus speaks of Elijah…1st or 2nd coming?
Matthew 11:13-14 (KJV) For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come.
The angel’s told Zechariah of his son, John: “And he shall go before him 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.” (Luke 1:17 KJV)
Matthew 17:10-13 (KJV) And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.
Jesus speaks of Elijah… 2nd coming?

Malachi 4:5-6 (KJV) Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD: And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest (that not) I come and smite the earth with a curse.

 

Soon….God Wrath is coming upon an evil world …Book of Revelation
