Lessons:
TORAH
Deuteronomy 34:1-12 (KJV) Moses dies in Moab not entering but seeing the Promised land. Moses was filled with the Shekinah Glory of God and his body was healthy.
Who is the prophet like Moses?

HAFTORAH
Joshua 1:1-11 (KJV) Why did the Lord pick Joshua to lead the Israelites? .... His faith and obedience. Abba encourages them to have Faith. When did they show wavering Faith? Why 3 days v. 11? 3 day’s seems to be a preparation time and waiting. 3 day trip from Pharaoh (Ex. 3:18, 8:27). 3 day to cleanse oneself at Mt. Sinai (Ex 19:11). 3 days tested without water (Ex. 15:23). 3 days darkness over all Egypt except Israelites (Ex. 10:22). E days Daniel prays to Lord before the Lion's den (Dan. 1:5). Rachael hides spies 3 days in Jericho (Josh 2:16). 1st 3 days of 10 days of AWE.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Jude 9 (KJV) What is special about the body of Moses?

Matthew 17:1-2 (KJV) John writes at the drosh level. What is after 6 days? Where are those days on that on the prophetic clock? Is the millennial reign of Christ knocking at the door. But first 10 days of Awe…… Hummmm …(3 + 7)? Jesus Shekinah Glory is how intense? It will light the New Jerusalem as there will be no night?
What was the primordial light?

Mark 9:2-9 (KJV) Mt. Nebo and the transfiguration. They saw the Shekinah Glory vestment of God.

Luke 24:1-9 (KJV) He has risen…. Death & Satan defeated. Where is the body?
Evidence that Yeshua Jesus rose from the dead.  A public execution assured His death.  Death verified by guarding Centurion at the cross .  A high Jewish official & member of Sanhedrin secured the grave site & wrapped Jesus in burial garments according to the method of the Jews. The Jews demanded a guarded grave site.  In spite of Roman guards the tomb was empty and no body.  To produce the body of Jesus would have stopped the Christian movement.  Dramatic transformation of Apostles.  Cowards became bold men  They Turned the world upside down with NT Gospel of Salvation.  Eyewitnesses were > 500  His brothers Jude and James became Christians  Eyewitnesses were willing to die for cause.  Fulfillment of OT & NT scriptures  No man had previously escaped death but death could not contain Him.  He was Abba’s Firstfruits of the resurrection proving His death was an acceptable sacrifice..  By His death He defeated Satan.  Abba’s plan for redemption was foretold and awaits the end of the harvest.  What other religious leader has defeated death?

Jude 3-4 (KJV) Jude has an earnest message as he changes the subject material . Be warned about wolves in sheep clothing?
Have Spiritual discernment, spiritual maturity. Let no man deceive you …Beware of wolves in sheep clothing.
1 John 3:7-10 (KJV) Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he (Jesus) is righteous. 8He 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. 9Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed (Jesus) remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. 10In 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

Why is the resurrection of Christ important?
Romans 10:9-11 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

We shall be raised (quickened) together with Christ!
Colossians 2:13-15 (KJV)And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; 15 And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

By His Resurrection Satan was defeated. 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 (KJV) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
Hebrews 2:14 (KJV) Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
Colossians 2:15 (KJV) And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

“Give ear”...Hear...Shema….. …”Give ear” to My teachings, My WORD (debar, logos), repent & forgive one another as you are a “called-out people” to do My Ministry & to claim your inheritance as a Royal Priesthood forever.
The ROCK of my Salvation is CHRIST and Christ in us.
Lessons:
TORAH
Song of Moses ….. Moses gives Israel their 1^st national anthem…A song of remembrance. …A “Rock” song…The Theme is God the Father and God the Son. Echad is the Rock . Hear Father God, Creator, the Most High God and His Son, The WORD.
Song of Moses is in three sections: Initially, Remembrance of Abba’s Hand & introduces the Rock Mid-section, Remembrance of their spiritual amnesia and spiritual failures. Final section, Remembrance that no other nation has the Rock as you have (Rock of Israel) v. 31 & Abba shows Himself as an all loving God (unconditional Love).
Points to the Rock of our Salvation, Yeshua Jesus. (Ps. 118:22; Mat. 21:42; 1 Peter 2:7-9) The Foundation stone The Cornerstone The Stone the builders rejected. Remember thine heritage is That Foundation Rock. Identifying The Rock of thy Salvation.

Deuteronomy 32:1-20 (KJV) Did Israel not heed the Song of Moses? Who are we who have not heeded the Word of the Lord? Today, we represent the Church of Laodicea (Revelation 3:14-22 (KJV)).
WHY is Abba provoked to anger? Lack of Faith Disobedience Idolatry
Their fruits become bitter Learn from what happened aforetime…..don’t let your Fruits become bitter.

HAFTORAH
In the Song of David, Abba controls the elements of the Earth. He shall deliver us. He delights in us. He is faithful and true.
2 Samuel 22:1- 42 (KJV) Did David know of Yeshua Jesus? Was not Christ a “mystery” to His Hebrew people?
Where is Yeshua Jesus in this Song of David? – Rock x5 ,fortress, deliverer, shield, horn, High tower, refuge, savior, Lord, stay, lamp, way, word, buckler, shield, tower.
2 Samuel 23:1 - 3 (KJV) Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said, The Spirit of the LORD spake (debar) by me, and his word was in my tongue. The God of Israel said, the Rock of Israel spake (debar) to me,
Yeshua Jesus is both the Rock and the WORD (debar)….These 2 witnesses attest to King David that the Messianic Kingdom is to come.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 Peter 2:2-12 (KJV) Feed on the Word of God and be led by the Holy Spirit within you. The rejected Stone is the foundational Head Stone. He is “a Living Stone” and We are His "living stones" ….. We are in the image of Christ. …To be “living sacrifices” holy and pure as the Bride of Christ…spotless.
Was not a similar commission given to Israel at Mt. Sinai. Exodus 19:6 (KJV) And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. Did they fulfill this mandate?
What is our commission? 1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV) 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.

Romans 12:9-21 (KJV) Forget not brotherly love. Rejoice, maintaining hope, patience, prayer, and love. Bless those who persecute you; bless and curse not. Be compassionate having empathy. Be of one mind Be an overcomer.
Avenge not….WHY? Romans 12:19-21 (KJV) Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord. Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Hebrews 12:18-29 (KJV) On Mt. Sinai …..a trumpet, a voice of Words, an awesome fire filled the mountain and the people were afraid. Abba's harsh WORD of obedience fell on their ears....Holy is the Father…. Come not near His Holiness unprepared.
We are prepared to see the Father by Christ in us for being covered by the blood of Christ, the Father sees us only in the image of Christ. . Refuse not Him that speaketh. Only the unshakable will remain after the consuming fire….a remnant. Serve Abba with reverence and a godly fear.
Hebrews 12:22-24 (KJV) But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

How do we prepare for the Day of the Lord?... It not all roses for believers for prior to the Pre-tribulation rapture, we shall suffer as we undergo the wrath of the adversary and Christian/Messianic persecutions by an apostate world....
1 Peter 4:16 - 19 (KJV) Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Paul recalls persecution for Gospel of Christ as example to us.
Philippians 1:12-30 (KJV) “well done good and faithful servant” …. If you are not sincere in Christ, the whole Body of Christ can suffer. United we become strong under persecution. We abide in the flesh to confide in one another. Tribulations are to the furtherance of our faith and joy in Yeshua Jesus.
Keep your lives Christ-centered. We shall bear Paul’s conflict.

Do Abba’s will and His good pleasure.
Philippians 2:12-24 (KJV) By obedience as you work out your salvation with fear & trembling. Abba’s Holy Spirit is within You to do all good things. Be Sons of God amidst perversion. A light unto the world even in darkness all around you.
Rejoice in knowing you have eternal life. Seek to be a Timothy amongst the brethern.

Hebrews 13:5-18 (KJV) Yeshua Jesus will never leave nor forsake you.Have no fear as Our Lord God never Changes; He is faithful and true. We shall bear His reproach. Remember, we are not of this world.

“You are standing” in the presence of Abba’s deliverance. Only Yeshua Jesus knows His Sheep. We become sufficient in Him by the Holy Spirit. These days since 1948, He is bringing-forth the consummation of the Kingdom in Zion.
Lessons:

TORAH
Deuteronomy 30:15-20 (KJV) Choose life and blessings. Each has its eternal consequence. As a just & righteous God, He says what He means and means what He says. He will denounce those under the curses and they shall surely perish. In Him, Christ Jesus, you have life.
How do we look in man's eyes? ...How do we look in God's eyes? You will stand before Yeshua Jesus, your Shepherd, and He will know who you are! Yes, for amongst the nominal, pious double-minded “believers” who profess His Name only He knows His Sheep.

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 61:1-2 (KJV) Christ’s 1st Coming in verses 1 and 2A but note that Yeshua Jesus stopped at the comma (Luke 4:16-21) and He closed the Book of Isaiah for that Sabbath reading and said “This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears”.
Isaiah 63:2b-9 (KJV) After this coma, in verses 2B-9, we are shown the prophecy of His second Coming. Christ’s 2nd Coming will bring the Day of Vengeance and the year of our redemption. Abba’s wrath upon the unbeliever, His anger, His fury…….. Be ready….
Prepare yourselves in these Days of Awe, a time for our repentance as Christians and Messianic Believers …..a time to draw close to Abba in fellowship.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 9:30-10:4 (KJV) The Rock is Christ. Torah’s Hidden Christ…. a Jewish stumbling block. Righteousness is by Faith. Christ the goal of the law.

1 Timothy 6:3-12 (KJV) Wholesome are the inspired words of the scriptures; teach the words of Yeshua Jesus.
Flee temptations, foolishness, lust and seek righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience and meekness. Lay up your treasures in Heaven; you are not of this world.

Hebrews 12:14-17 (KJV) Don’t sell your inheritance. Walk with peace & holiness.

1 John 5:1-12 (KJV) You have victory over death in Christ. Believeth on the only Begotten Son of God. Walk in love knowing your Salvation (Yeshua Jesus).

A closing thought through the Holy Scriptures for this week:
Hebrews 6:4-9 (KJV) 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: 8 But that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned. 9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak.

Ki Tavo	Parasha #50	“When you come”
Readings: Deuteronomy 26:1- 29:8; Isaiah 60:1- 22; Matthew 25:1- 46; James 1:1- 2:26; Matthew 13:1-23; Romans 11:1- 15
“When you come” ... into your inheritance. “When you come”....into the Promised Land. “When you come”…. to understand the mystery of the Abba’s Plan. " When you come" .....to understand the New Covenant.
Understanding the New Testament mysteries of Yeshua Jesus and why Abba revealed Him to us as a New Covenant.
Lessons:
TORAH
Deuteronomy 26:1- 11 (KJV) “When you come” into your inherited Land bring your Firstfruits of the harvest. Who is our Firstfruits of the Resurrection.

Deuteronomy 29:1-4 (KJV) A Covenant is renewed….Which one is the renewed covenant?
This is the time that the Mt. Sinai Covenant was renewed on the plains of Moab. ….. Seems to be an upgraded version of 1st covenant. A reaffirmation of the covenant to the people, both then and future. (Deuteronomy 29:12-15 (KJV)).
Hermeneutics in the Hebrew and Greek language distinguish between the renewal of the 1st covenant and the New Covenant of the Gospel’s message based upon Christ crucified. Christ’s Blood covenant was an OT mystery concealed until Yeshua Jesus presented Himself as the Lamb of God (Ephesians 1:9-14; Ephesians 3:2-6; Colossians 1:26-28; 1 Timothy 3:14-16)
Your inheritance is the New Covenant. The last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ. Hebrews 9:14-17 (KJV) How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where a testament is, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. For a testament is of force after men are dead: otherwise it is of no strength at all while the testator liveth

“When you come” to understand Abba’s Plan, you are revealed mysteries of Abba’s hidden wisdom. -OT is Christ concealed & focuses on history & Torah works -NT is our Salvation and justification. Mysteries revealed so that we can be enlightened of Abba’s Plan for those with spiritual eyes. -V.4 “this day” is it prophetic of Israel’s destiny in New Covenant when their scales are removed. -Orthodox Jews under the Tanach are blinded to Christ, His Church, His Gospel
Romans 11:25 (KJV) For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 60:1-11 (KJV) Zion to see the re-gathering of her children. “When you come” to Zion from afar. Book 60 of Isaiah = James James 5:7-9 (KJV) Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
James1:1- 8 (KJV) James gives instructions to the exile 12 tribes. “When you come” have unwavering Faith. “When you come” have a thick shield of faith
Matthew 9:28-30 (KJV) And when he was come into the house, the blind men came to him: and Jesus saith unto them, “Believe ye that I am able to do this ?” They said unto him, Yea, Lord. 29 Then touched he their eyes, saying, “According to your faith be it unto you.” 30 And their eyes were opened;
You can’t be double-minded in God’s Kingdom as you are unstable without a firm foundation.

Matthew 25:1-13 (KJV) “When you come” have oil in lamp.

Matthew 13:1-23 (KJV) “When you come” bearing good fruit (evident by your Halakah)

Romans 11:1-12 (KJV) “When you come” be in the image of Christ ..for as the Body of Christ you are echad
….you come all alike ….Echad = One Body of Christ (Jew & Gentile)

Ki Tetze	Parasha #49	“When you go”
Readings: Deuteronomy 21:10 - 25:19; Isaiah 52:13- 54:10; Matthew 19:1- 12; 1 Corinthians 7:1- 40; Luke 20:27- 38; 1 Corinthians 9:4-18; Galatians 3:9- 14
When you go to be His bride in white linen. The righteous ones of God are His Bride. Don’t go and separate (divorce) yourself from the Lord…... don’t fall out of Abba’s fellowship and go back into Egypt, the world. Separation brings broken relationships in marriage, in brotherhoods and in the Church, the Body of Christ. Be in unity and of one mind in Christ. What is Abba’s purpose for humankind ? A CALLED-OUT PEOPLE FOR HIMSELF and FINDING that ECHAD RELATIONSHIP ( echad = Hebrew plural one; while echat is single one).
John 14:20 (KJV) At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
Ephesians 5:28-32 (KJV) So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
How do we understand the Echad relationship? Genesis 1:27-28 (KJV) So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
.... by 2 witnesses: Genesis 5:1-2 (KJV) This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Genesis 2:24-25 (KJV) Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (echad S# 259). And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.
Lessons:
TORAH
Deuteronomy 21:15- 17 (KJV) Two wives? One beloved and one hated?....any examples? Why Leah & Rachel ? Also Israel separated itself into two wives which today are the Redeemed Israel in Christ and Judah under Torah bondage to sin and death penalty. But they shall become brothers as one new man in God’s Plan. Ezekiel 37:15-28) First will be last……… Discuss the blessing of Firstborn.
Deuteronomy 24:1- 4 (KJV) A certificate of divorce in Hebrew is a "get." Israel (Ephraim) was given bill of divorce (Jer. 3:8). Hosea remarried his harlot wife…prophetic of what?

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 54:1-10 (KJV) Who is being addressed in these passages as they point to Yeshua Jesus. Married wife, wife of Youth, widowhood Thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles v.3 Covenant of Peace… Jer. 31:33
Who is the barren woman & the desolate woman ? Desolate…many children (our flesh man, the broad road of sin and bondage leads to our death penalty.) “Barren”…. Married, rejected, widowed but by the grace and mercy the barren of Israel is made fruitful in Christ.
Isaiah 54 above is explained in Galatians 4:21-31 (KJV) What does this all mean? Our bondage is to sin. Paul is talking to Christians in Galatia who want to be under the law as taught by Judaizers amongst them. Paul professes his belief in Christ and expresses how much the Jews need Christ to escape the death penalty under the law.
Abraham 2 sons and are Allegorical of 1st (law) and 2nd (grace) covenant. 1. Ishmael..Son by bondwoman (Hagar) of flesh …Sin of the flesh is defined in 1st covenant by law given at Sinai. Under the law you are in bondage to sin as is all sinners whose destiny is eternal death. Sin genders to bondage. At Paul’s time, sin/law answereth to the religious system of Jerusalem (the Temple was the center of the law) which is earthly but in bondage with her children …Allegorically the desolate maidservant of Sarah, Hagar the Egyptian, the bondswoman, has more children of sin (broad road). The broad road represents all unbelievers not of the echad Body of Christ. 2. Isaac …Son by freewoman, Abraham’s wife Sara, who is barren but under the Promise that Messiah is to come from loins of Isaac. Promise points to 2nd covenant of grace answereth to Jerusalem which is above ….Those of the promise have a husband/Bridegroom.. We in Christ are children of the freewoman and children of the Promise.
Continuing in Isaiah 54:1-10 (KJV) Today spiritually barren is unredeemed Israel (House of Judah) awaiting Messiah, Yeshua Jesus. Awaiting to be that One stick in Abba’s Hand (Ezekiel 37:17) One united House of Jacob (Israel). Only now do we see the re-gathering of One New Man. All Israel and sojourner become redeemed (saved) to become echad in Christ. In Christ ..no Jew/Gentile or male/female or slave/ free man.
The whole House of Judah awaits its inheritance ( a King, a land and a united people and eternal life).

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Matthew 19:1- 9 (KJV) Divorce was not in Abba’s plan. Divorce because of the hardness of your heart

Luke 20:27- 38 (KJV) No marriage in Olam Haba as all are echad in love (John 14:20 (KJV).

1 Corinthians 9:7-14 (KJV) An echad attitude in tithes and offerings to keep the Body of Christ healthy.
Don’t muzzle the oxen that worketh for you.

Galatians 3:9-14 (KJV) We are echad as the Body of Christ by the Promise made manifest through Christ of the Spirit through faith. Because He lives so also shall we live who are echad in Him.
Your Halakah proves you are the Bride of Christ.. Love one another, live in obedience, hinder not the Gospel message. Avoid self-concern & concentrate on not being a stumbling block to the Gospel message of Salvation.. Be Christ-centered not self-centered. Be not judgmental. As the bride, be prepared as His Coming is near.

1 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV) Echad in marriage. Don’t put away your wife.

Galatians 3:26-29 (KJV) 26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 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. 29 And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Put on and be that The One New Man in Christ being neither Jew nor Gentile.

Shoftim	Parasha #48	“Judges”
Readings: Deuteronomy 16:18- 21:9; Isaiah 51:12- 52:12; Matthew 18:1- 35; Acts 3:13- 26, 7:35- 53; 1 Timothy 5:17- 22; Hebrews 10:28- 31.
All judgment the Father has given to the Son. John 5:22 (KJV) 22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son :
Luke 7:19 (KJV) 19 And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? John was saying: I know you are Messiah Ben Joseph but is there to be another Messiah?
THERE IS ONLY ONE BEGOTTEN SON OF THE FATHER. He is Yeshua Jesus, The Anointed One, The Moshiach, The Christo, The Christ. He is both Messiah Ben Joseph and Messiah Ben David Who will judge.
When will the Son judge? Let us examine what the Christ brings to mankind. What did Jesus fulfill at His first Coming? He was a Servant, a Rabbi, a Prophet, the promised Moshiach, The Lamb of God, and Messiah Ben Joseph. Today, Who is Yeshua Jesus now? He is our Savior, the prophesized Kindsman Redeemer, who now sits at the Right Hand of Abba as our High Priest, and our Intercessor with the Father. At His second coming He will be that same Christos, our High Priest, a King/ Lord, a Judge, and Messiah Ben David.
An Overview of today's Parasha. .We are accountable for our actions, sins, transgressions and iniquities. We shall all face His piercing eyes in judgment. Revelation 1:14 (KJV) His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; His eyes will examine the believer at the Bema seat Judgment: 1 Corinthians 3:11-15 (KJV) For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is. If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire.
The unrighteous, wicked and unbelieving scoffer at the Great White Throne Judgment: Revelation 20:11-12 (KJV) And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them. And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.

Isaiah 52:1-12 (KJV) Tzion (Israel) has been judged and is captive amongst the nations. Remove the yoke around her neck of captivity. O’ Daughters of Tzion, you are a new generation. You are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb.. Not money
The Book of Isaiah chapter 52 is the companion Bible Book of 1 Thessalonians. Note Isa. 52:5a and observe "that my people is taken away for nought?" "taken away" is the Hebrew word "laqach" which is the Hebrew rapture word for both Enoch and Elijah. ...see the crosstalk between Isa. 52 and 1 Thessalonians!

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Matthew 18:15-20 (KJV) Provision to settle disagreements. 2 witnesses
Acts 3:13- 23 (KJV) Christ fulfilled Tanach prophecy. He is preached in every page. The Old Testament points to the New Testament. Repent, blot-out your sins … be accountable.

Isaiah 54:16 (KJV) Behold, I have created the smith that bloweth the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an instrument for his work; and I have created the waster to destroy.
Note, the Hebrew parallelism: God created the smith and the waster and those instruments of his work are to destroy?
No forged weapon shall harm you !! Have faith and be led by the Holy Spirit. For He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. The deceiver is amongst you.
Remez using Isaiah’s miniature Bible where Isaiah book 54 = 1 Timothy
1 Timothy 4:1-5 (KJV) 1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. 4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 John 4:1-6 (KJV) Discern spirits. Confess Jesus Christ as your Savior & God. Don’t quench the Holy Spirit in your Temple. Listen to His still small voice & keep the Lord’s Commandments. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and might. Walk in the light as Children of the Light ..walk not in darkness as Children of the dark side.

1 Corinthians 8:1-13 (KJV) Don’t be a stumbling block to your Christian brother.
Matthew 15:10-11 (KJV) And he (Jesus) called the multitude, and said unto them, “Hear, and understand : Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man.”

1 Corinthians 10:21 (KJV) 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.

1 John 1:6-10 (KJV) If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 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.
Confess & Repent as King David did…for He is a Faithful and a Just GOD.

Satan roams the Earth to deceive mankind. Job 1:6 - Job 1:7 (KJV) Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Therefore you have discernment of all doctrine and teachings.
1 Peter 5:8-9 (KJV) Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

James 4:7-8 (KJV) .Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
Only two choices… live in light or live in darkness.

Scripture of the day: Colossians 2:8 (KJV) Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Because of Adam’s fall, sin entered man’s world Because of Abba’s “tough love” … be ye refined as pure molten gold….He will Humble you Because of His chastisement and trials you will be drawn closer to Abba. Because of our sin Abba Himself provided a way for reconciliation Because He loves You…Unconditionally.
List 3 things Abba can’t do: (1.) Can’t lie (2.) Can’t look upon sin (3.) Can’t force you to love Him
Lessons:
TORAH
Deuteronomy 8:1- 20 (KJV) Abba speaks of our obedience and accountability. He knows your heart. He will Test you…., chasteneth, discipline you. But He will not leave no forsake you. He will draw you back to Himself through trials & tribulations.
Fear the Lord your God …An Awesome God. He will bring you into a good land. Don’t forget Abba when He provides abundance for you. Don’t harden your heart to His will for you….. Be obedient ...... have Torah written on your heart.

HAFTORAH
Let us examine “higher intellectual” eisogesis or Gnostic distortion of God’s WORD: (1) Torah not written by Moses according to the documentary hypothesis instead Torah is the works of a composite origin with K, E, P, D authors. (2) Synoptic Gospels not by Luke and Matthew. Their source was Mark plus other source material. (3) Daniel not written in 8th century by Daniel as it is a composite 8th century with early 1st century BC portions (4) Deutero-Isaiah …2 authors of Isaiah ?? A mid-book change in writing style??
Isaiah 49:1 -7 (KJV) Who is “me?” …
The Nation of Israel….House of Israel= Ephraim…Yeshua Jesus? How can we clarify????? Just wait a minute and be led by the Holy Spirit as He unfolds the mysteries of the Scriptures.
Isaiah 49 is a Tanach Messianic prophecy. Isaiah 49 has a counterpart in the NT Book of Ephesians (the 49 book in the whole of the Bible)!. Ephesians is the NT Book about the Body of Christ with Christ as chief cornerstone. It describes that the Church is to be the Bride united with Christ = Echad. All believers are brought together with Christ as Head. As represented by the Hebrew letter the vav. The bottom-line is to understand Isaiah 49, you need to read its companion book, Ephesians.
Let us examine the Deutero-Isaiah hypothesis :
This hypothesis proposes 2 different authorships for this Tanach book. The first part of Isaiah is in Old Testament language but prophetic. While the second part is Messianic & prophetic about the mystery of Christ and the Church.
There is only one author as attested by a single dead sea scroll found in 1947 in cave #1. It contains intact all the 66 chapters of the book of Isaiah (1QIsa) and from all of the 11 Qumran caves, 21 identical Isaiah manuscripts bear witness. Only minor word differences exist between 1QIsa and with the Masoretic Text.
Note: Book of Isaiah is 66 chapters.. Today’s Bible is 66 Books. Read Isaiah 40:3 and Matthew 3:3 and be impressed of the work of the Holy Spirit in knitting the Word of God into a hologram. We have 27 NT Books same as the number of Hebrew letters including the soffit forms. Originally, the Tanach was composed of 24 books but today they are re-divided into 39 books.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Luke 4:1-13 (KJV) The number 40 is prophetic of trials, testing and woes …. Even Yeshua Jesus underwent testing for 40 days. Chastisement is for our purification to righteousness.
Jesus deals with the “father of lies” & deception. Satan holds title deed to planet Earth v. 5-8. (Remez in John 12:31, 14:30, 16:11; 2 Cor 4:4).
Does Satan plot against God’s plan (read Psalm 11:3). Satan is out to destroy God's people, the righteous ones, those in white linen whose light chases away darkness.
Even Satan quotes scripture v. 10-11 (Ps. 91:11-12**)…but misquotes…twists (adds & embellishes and deletes)…beware of false teachers amongst you.…don’t add or subtract from WORD. The Holy Scriptures are veiled to Satan and his followers (1 Corinthians 2:7-8 (KJV); 2 Corinthians 4:3-4 (KJV))

Hebrews 12:1- 15 (KJV) God’s ‘tough love’ folks; it brings us into fellowship with Him for we seek Him in times of need such as 9/11.
Psalm 11:5 (KJV) The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.
As we drift out of fellowship with Abba into the ways of the flesh, the ways of the world, we will be tested, disciplined, chastised ;we will have suffering, purging, scourging, rebuking,,, You must resist evil. As you draw closer to Abba in these times of trial, it will be more self-evident that you are out of the will of God.
Perseverance, endurance, patience, longsuffering are a Fruit of the Spirit. As a Holy Spirit-filled believer, you are not tested beyond your tolerance.
1 Corinthians 10:13 (KJV) 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

James 5:7- 11 (KJV) Abba disciplines those whom He loves. Have patient endurance ..seek to return to fellowship with Abba. His Bride is refreshed in the early and latter rains. (prophetic of the 1^st and 2^ndcoming of Christ).

Va’etchanan	Parasha #45	“And I besought”
Readings: Deuteronomy 3:23- 7:11; Isaiah 40:1- 26; Mark 12:1-44; Matthew 4:1-11; Luke 10:25-37; Acts 13:13- 43; Romans 3:27-31; 1 Timothy 2:4-6; James 2:14- 26.
What is to be besought? Shema….Hear the WORD of God! Romans 10: 17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. What is to be besought? Besought is to earnestly seek! What have we lost that we earnestly seek and eagerly plead for?.....TRUTH…..TRUTH IS THE WORD. Today we see a famine of Truth….Shortly we shall see a famine of the WORD. They, the secular world, die in the midst of plenty and know not why. The Truth of God’s Word leads to your Personal salvation, being justification by the Blood of Christ to eternal life but be not a light under a basket instead show love and good works toward your brother. The Truth state of your person is not found centered in yourself, but in your brotherly love, empathy, good works, love, kindness, Halachah.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Deuteronomy 5:23-28 (KJV) And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders; And ye said, Behold, the LORD our God hath showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God doth talk with man, and he liveth. Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die. For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived? Go thou near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak thou unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it. And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.

Deuteronomy 4:1- 14 (KJV)
Israel’s marriage ketuba under chuppah (v. 11).
Do not change the word of God. Lust comes from what you see & your heart desires to covet. You have seen the wicked devoured.
The commandments are for your wisdom and understanding. This is your codex to make you a great nation …. A Chosen people.

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 40:5- 11 (KJV) A Messianic Passage in OT predicting Yeshua Jesus as our Good Shepherd.
Man is temporary…God’s WORD is forever ……seek Jesus who give us The Holy Spirit . Christ shall rule at His 2nd Coming as the strong arm of God..
Hebrews 4:12 (KJV) For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Acts 13:22- 33 (KJV) How is the Promise of Torah fulfilled? Does the Law give Salvation? Certainly not. Does the Law put us in fellowship with God?
Yes, the Law is our meal offering.… Offered with fine flour, incense & salt…. a private sup with Abba. We give ourselves as a "living sacrifice", pleasing unto the Lord.

Luke 10:25- 37(KJV) Yeshua Jesus is stating in this parable ....You know Torah but can you apply it? Who is thine neighbor? Share with one another from the goodness of your heart.
All the commandments can be reduced to Love.

James 2:14-18 (KJV)
Help your Brother in need !!!!!

Romans 3:20-28 (KJV) The law has not been done away with. The law is faithful and true. The law gives us knowledge of sin. The lawless shall have everlasting death. Without Christ, the penalty for sin is death in God’s eyes. (under the definition of Mosaic Law to sin is to die). In Christ you live!

Matthew 4:4 (KJV) God’s manna! Tav= God’s TRUTH = God’s WORD = Torah = became flesh = Yeshua Jesus= The Gospel message of salvation unto eternal life not death.

Mark 12:28-34(KJV) Walk in Brotherly love. Walk in Fruit of Spirit. …… then thou art not far from the Kingdom of God.

Deuteronomy is the Torah Book of second remembrances of Israel’s history, laws, promises, blessings & curses. It was Moses summery of God’s Plan for Israel given while Israelites were camped on plains of Moab just 2 months before they would cross the Jordan into Canaan.
Overview: Abide in Me and My WORD shall abide in you. Keep Torah on Heart not on shelf. The Concealed Jesus of Tanach (Old Testament)(OT) is revealed in the New Testament (Brit Chadasha). Choose good/evil…. Abba or Baal (alternative belief systems). Which vessel are you? … a full cistern or a broken vessel and empty cistern?? As a believer you are covered by the Blood of Christ. Keep in fellowship ….Keep His Commandments. Today is the time to remember our iniquities, sins, trespasses and transgressions of God’s commandments. Salvation assured in Christ. Bema seat rewards are to be given according to your Halachah amongst your brethren. Remember…Recall… Repent…. Find peace in your soul return to ABBA. Reflect on your walk just as Moses recalls for the Israelites in today's Parasha study. We will began our remembrance with the call of Abraham as presented by Stephen.
Lessons:
Acts 6:8-15; 7:1-8 (KJV) The Promise of Abraham was the OT gate to Salvation (Yeshua Jesus). Anything less than faith in Jesus Christ will not suffice. We serve the God of Abraham, Isaac & Israel. Only one narrow path to eternity.. Your Salvation is Yeshua Jesus Who paid the redemption price that we live not die. (John 14:6-7) The Word of God, His Torah, is the key to keep you in alignment with His will. Understanding Abraham is the key to the Salvation Plan of Abba Father.
Covenant Blessings given Abraham: • Great Name …..Gen. 12:2 • Righteous by Faith not law…Gen.15:6; James 2:23 • Father of Gentile Christian Faith (Rom.4:16; Gal. 3:7) • Friend of God … James 2:24 • Personal Blessings  Material (Gen. 13;14-17; Gen. 24:35)  Spiritual (Gen. 15:16; John 8:56-58) • Blessing to others thru Christ (Gal. 3:13-16) • Blessing to those whom bless Him (Gen. 12:3) • Curse to those whom curse Him (Gen. 12:3; Num. 24:9B; Jer. 30:16; Isa. 49: 25b-26) • Great Nation/numerous offspring …Gen: 13:16; Num. 23:10A (dust); Gen. 15:4-6 (stars), Heb. 11:12: Hosea 1:10A(sand) • Father of Nations. (Gen. 17:4) All families of the Earth (Gal. 3:16; John 8:56-58) • He saw the Eternal city & Yeshua Jesus (Heb. 11:10,13,16 John 8:56-58) • Obtained God’s grace (Rom. 4:16) • Introduced the Priesthood of Melchizedek (Gen. 14:17) • Everlasting covenant …an inheritance (Gen . 15:9) • Received the Holy Spirit ……. v  Abram to Abraham (Gen. 17:5)  Sari to Sarah (Gen. 17:15)
Did Abraham know Torah? Abraham heard the voice of Abba Father. Abraham understood that the Promise leads to Christ. Yes, Abraham knew Torah.
Genesis 26:4-5 (KJV) 4 And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; 5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws.

TORAH
Deuteronomy 1:19-39 (KJV) The rest of the rebellious Israelite story! Rebellion against the Lord despite the cloud by day and fire by night amongst them who ate His manna.

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 1:1-20 (KJV) A rebellious people in the divided Kingdom of Israel and Judah. How frequently do we show our rebellious nature toward Abba’s will as He desires for us to do good not evil!

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 15:1- 12 (KJV) “I am” “the true vine … “Abide in me” “And MY WORDS shall abide in you” You shall be known by the Spirit within you. You cannot serve God and Baal. Your Halakhah (walk) is by the Fruit you show others.
Galatians 5:22-23 (KJV) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance.
Hebrews 3:6-19 (KJV) Believe in our unseen God…. have the Faith of Abraham! What is unseen will be revealed under the fig tree. Your concealed treasures are in Heaven. “Run the race for the Prize”.. Crowns are for your KINGDOM works and are awaiting you in Abba’s REST. Today, make your choice who you will serve.
Acts 7:51-60 (KJV) We, also, shall see Heaven open & the Face of our God. Just as Stephen “glowed” with the Spirit so also will we put on the Glory of God.
Read Psalm 37 (KJV)

Romans 8:6-9 (KJV) For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 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.

The Child of God will keep His Commandments (John 14:15, 21-23). God accomplishes His works in your life through circumstances & people using Earth’s resources and His Divine intervention in response to prayer. He is always at work around you but your life must align to the will of Abba, our Father. Believe & be of strong substance in your Faith.

James 5:19-20 (KJV) Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Sin is “lawlessness.” Sin is to willfully separate yourself from Abba Who cannot look upon sin. You must leave His presence and will lose His fellowship just as happened to Adam and Eve. You withdraw into self-indulgence into your “old self” in the flesh… be steadfast in your faith.
Proverbs 6:16-19 (KJV) These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

Numbers 32:16-33 (KJV) Tribes settling on the East side of the Jordan. What is their consequences, if not obedient in brotherly fellowship and brotherly love?
Way-markers (dolmens) for us to find our way home. Jeremiah 31:20- 21 (KJV) 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. Set thee up waymarks, make thee high heaps: set thine heart toward the highway, even the way which thou wentest: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these thy cities.
Physical way-markers (Dolmens) were set-up for us to find our way home. Our spiritual way-marker is the homing device of the Holy Spirit!
Revelation 21:12 (KJV) 12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels, and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel:
Which gate will you enter?? Are we, as Christians , a part of Israel? Are you Christians a part of Abraham’s sands, stars, dust? …….. Can you find yourself as being a part of the “Promise?”
We are the grafted branches and of the “seed” of Abraham in Christ.

HAFTORAH
Jeremiah 1:1-5 (KJV) With care we are individually made. woven DNA.. digital sequence. Election, predestine … man-interpreted terms (Arminianism vs. Calvinism). Simply, what is your calling and tent-making skills from Abba.
Jeremiah 1:6-10 (KJV) Jeremiah is being commissioned by the “I AM.” I will send; I will speak for you; I will deliver you. We at JCIA are commissioned to restore the ancient foundations of our Faith (Isa. 58).
Jesus has commissioned us to carry the Gospel to the 4 corners of the Earth.
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

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
James 4:1-17 (KJV) Examine your foundations. You ask and receive not…why?? Your lusts and pride will consume you. Rhetorically, did God give you a spirit of lust? Resist the devil. Draw close to Abba. Be humble, no Lashon Hara (EVIL TONGUE). You are not to be judgmental.
You are not of this world! Life is but a vapor ….. Live it for the Lord. You are accountable
YOUR TREASURES ARE IN HEAVEN

Matthew 5:33-37 (KJV) Your Heart is your internal barometer. The kidneys and gut filter good and bad! …and they are conceptually like our Heart. … Your mouth reflects your heart, and your halacha (walk).
Caution on taking vows or oaths!! Simple yes…no. Your most common pride is to promote yourself “i am.” By your mouth you curse others (character assassination) and you injure your brother with harsh words! By your mouth you can curse yourself! …… Keep yourselves a “living sacrifice” pleasing and holy and true unto Abba.
Remez this passage:
Matthew 12:34-37 (KJV) O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things ? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh . 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things . 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment . 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned .
You are accountable for you utterances!

Pinchas	Parasha # 41	“Phineas”
Readings: Numbers 25:10-29:40; 1 Kings 19:1-18; Matthew 26:1-30; John 2:13-22; 1 Corinthians 5:6-8; Colossians 2:8-4:6.
Overview: Phineas is the “whisk broom” to remove leaven from amongst God’s children, from His ecclesia. If you are in the camp of Israel don’t fall back into the ways of the pagans or the apostate church. Stay with your people the Israelites. Leaven can bring on you periods of trials and tribulations. A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump
Special Reading for 9th Av preparation Jer. 1:14-19 (KJV) Bein ha metzarium.. “within the straits” 21 days of affliction from 17 Tammuz to 9 Av.
Lessons:
TORAH
Numbers 25:1- 18 (KJV) Remove what is unclean from amongst you and see the rewards of Abba...sin within the camp brings God’s wrath….ie. His Judgment on a nation, peoples or person (Noah, Sodom/ Gomorrah, the 10 spies, Korah) Now “itchy ears and lust amongst God’s people (a remnant will be saved ..keep oil in your lamp). Recall when just the sin of one Israelite brought God’s Wrath upon the nation. (Achan’s sin (Joshua. 7:1-26) Abba, our Father, is longsuffering …. contending with us to be holy but His Just Judgment can be swift. It is a dreadful thing to fall into the Hands of the Living God!

HAFTORAH
1 Kings 19:1-18 (KJV) What does this mean “40 days and 40 nights unto Mt. Horeb?” Forty is symbolic of our “seemingly endless” periods of trials & tribulations but the Lord is Faithful to His own. Recall other forty day trials:
Remez .. 40 as a period of testing  Noah in Ark 40 days/nights;  Isaac at age 40 marries Rebecca;  Moses life in 40 year x 3 sections;  Moses up Mt. Sinai X2 for Torah;  Moses in wilderness 40 years;  Jonah to Nineveh for 40 days;  40 days Goliath challenged Israel;  Saul, David Solomon, each reigned 40 years over Israel;  Elijah fled to Mt Sinai 40 days;  Joseph and Mary in Egypt 40 days;  Jesus in desert 40 days;  Jesus received 40 -1 lashes by Roman soldiers;  40 days Jesus walk with disciples after Resurrection;  40 years from Jesus death to Temple destruction (30…70AD);  40 days time for fruit to ripen!
Today Remez: 5 June concluded 40 years for Israel since “Giants in Land (1967-2007).” Be patience during times of trials and tribulation; be the obedient bride of Christ; Abba always prevails over evil. Remain clean, holy & godly without leaven. Look for Him in a still soft voice. Despite Satan’s attempts to foil Abba’s plan a remnant is keep secure.
Here is some insight into the Prophecies of Elijah in 1 Kings 19: 15-17.

First an Overview of Prophecy in General
¼ of the Bible is prophecy • 1 Thessalonians 5:19-20 (KJV) Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. • Amos 3:7 (KJV) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. • Prophecy is the future written in advance by the Holy Spirit to inspired men. • Its correct interpretation is the historical record….past and future! • 1st Coming of Kingdom prophecy was fulfilled in spring/summer feasts • Christ's 1st Coming ~ 300 vs. ~ 2400 prophecies about His 2nd coming • 2400 verses remain to be fulfilled (fall feasts) • End time prophecy 3/8 in NT & 5/8 in OT

Prophecy of Elijah in 1 Kings 19:15-17
Sequence
Elisha called (numbers19:19-21) Transfer mantle (2 Kings 2:1-14) Prophet in thy Room = stead Hazael king Syria ..(2 Kings 8:7-13) Jehu King Israel (2 Kings 9-37) Fulfills prophecy 4 generations reign of Jehu (2 Kings 10:30; 15:12)

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Matthew 26: 20- 25 (KJV) Woe unto the betrayer! Don’t Betray Jesus …. Woe unto him . Leaven in unexpected places amongst us. Woe to that man that drives the Agent of the Son of God from his temple. …Blasphemy of Holy Spirit! Satan can enter through a leavened portal (John 13:2, 26-27)

John 2:13- 22 (KJV) With a “scourge of small cords” Jesus cleanses the Temple, His Father’s House. Cleanse also your Temple of all leaven. What Temple did rise up on the 3rd day? Where is the Temple today? How much more zealous should we be to “scourge”/clean our temple?

Colossians 3:1- 17 (KJV) Mortify (purge, embalm) your members (your fleshly desires). Purge-out ungodliness.. Be holy as Abba’s chosen people. Wrath will fall on children of disobedience. Pay attention to your walk (Halakah).. be a light. Show others your FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT (recall chalkboard).
Colossians 3:17 (KJV) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.

1 Corinthians 5:6- 8 (KJV) 6 Your glorying (boasting) is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

MESSAGE
Purge (scourge) out whatsoever is evil amongst you…..be a Phineas • Scourge our Nation • Scourge our Locality • Scourge our Family • Scourge our Congregation • Scourge Your own Temple.
…… keep yourself clean, have no leaven amongst yourself as you are the Temple of God and the image of Christ. … by Your FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT You will be known. Don’t crossover into pagan territory

Balak	Parasha # 40	“Balak”
Readings: Numbers 22:2-25:9; Micah 5:7- 6:8; Jude 1- 25; 2 Peter 2:1-22; Revelation 2:11-15
What is today’s Parasha message?
Hold to God’s TRUTH with discernment. Recognize deception and wolves in sheep clothing. Don’t have itchy ears for distorted truth ……check the scriptures daily to see if what you perceive is God’s Word (Acts 17:11).

Introduction to Numbers Readings: Israel is coming against Balak, the Moabite, who hires Balaam. Who was Balaam?
Lessons:
TORAH
Numbers 22:41(KJV) What did Balaam see in the Israelite camp. They were camped in the geometric formation of a cross as the two witnesses of Numbers 1:20-46 and Numbers 2:1-32 would prophesize.
Numbers 23:8-11 (KJV) Who did Balaam serve? Did Balaam curse or bless the Israelites? Why? In V.9 examine “dwell alone?” …Israel is sanctified to the Lord. Note the chiastic Hebrew poetry of Baalam’s recital… It is prophetic. Consider who is Jacob? ….. Israel defines a remnant ( Remez to Micah 5:7-8: Rom. 9:27) Again! Who was Balaam?
Numbers 23:18-27 (KJV) Verse 19 is a messianic shadow of One Who was without sin that He need not repent. In verse 24 who is as a great Lion? … the Young Lion (Remez…Isa. 5:26-30). Did Balaam behave as a willing, worthy servant of God Almighty?
Numbers 24:5-9 (KJV) Verse 24:5-9 points to end time prophecy! In verse 24:9, Lion of tribe of Judah (Isa.31:4). Who is Baalam?
The angel of the Lord did not take Balaam’s life! Then…………………………….WHY?............................................. Why did the Israelites take Balaam's life (Numbers 31:15-16)? Numbers. 31:8c … “Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword. ”Joshua 13:22 “Balaam also the son of Beor, the soothsayer, did the children of Israel slay with the sword among them that were slain by them.”

HAFTORAH
Micah 6:1- 8 (KJV) Justice shall prevail. Note how Abba sets up a Court room setting for watchers and any being that would challenge His righteousness, love and Justice. A Just, Patient, Longsuffering, Loving God endures a fallen creation. God’s people can become spiritually ignorant because of unbelief and idolatry. Abba’s warns His people?? Beware of Idols.
Watch-out for disinformation. Don’t be double minded as Janis, the Babylonian Tamuz. The adversary would lead God’s people into sin (iniquities and transgressions of Torah) so that we would fall out of fellowship with Abba. If our walk (halacha) is in love as obedient children, we shall be in the image of Christ and wear the white robes of the righteous.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
2 Peter 2:1-22 (KJV) Have discernment and recognize deception by false teachers and scoffers. Severe Judgment is reserved for false teachings & those that promote false doctrine (verse 1 “bring upon themselves swift destruction” & verse. 12 “shall utterly perish in their own corruption” and verse 9 “deliver the godly out of temptation & to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished” Those in the five fold ministry are held to higher level accountability (James 3:1). Be discerning! Don’t throw your pearls before swine.
Your itchy ears will lead you away from sound doctrine (2 Timothy 4:3-4). Verse 19 …. You become like the gods you serve! Psalm 135:15-18 (KJV) 15 The idols of the heathen are silver and gold, the work of men’s hands. 16 They have mouths, but they speak not; eyes have they, but they see not; 17 They have ears, but they hear not; neither is there any breath in their mouths. 18 They that make them are like unto them: so is every one that trusteth in them. Romans 6:16 (KJV) 16 Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? Psalm 109:29 (KJV) 29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle. 2 Peter 2:21-22 (KJV) 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. 22 But it is happened unto them according to the true proverb, The dog is turned to his own vomit again; and the sow that was washed to her wallowing in the mire.
Jude 3- 11 (KJV) Ungodly men crept in amongst the Church. They are “filthy dreamers;” “mockers in the last times;” wolves in sheep clothing. It is Abba in you as God’s Holy Spirit that keeps you from falling & He presents you faultless in the image of Christ.
Revelation 2:14-15(KJV) Describes the Church at Pergamos (Constantine's Church in Church History) Babylon infiltrates the early Church from the city where Satan lives.
Who are the Nicolaitans? Nicolas was a proselyte Gentile Greek deacon (Acts 6:5). He established a sect of Christians having a Church hierarchy leading to ecumenical harmony. Ante-Nicene Fathers brought secular thought into Church from Greek mythology .. (Zeus, Jupiter, Hercules, Bacchus, Venus, etc…..); from Roman forum theology (Plato, Socrates, Aristotle); from the Christian School at Alexandria Egypt (Eusebius & Origin ..Neo-Platonism, Stoicism, Arianism, Zoroastrianism, Gnosticism, Mithraism, Manicheism); from Constantine's Nicene Conference in 325 AD which lead to ecumenical unity of pagans and Christians. The merging Roman Catholic Church became a strong hierarchy of religious-political POWER to control Europe.

Today’s, ecumenical movement is to a One World Order in preparation for the Kingdom of the Antichrist.

Hukat	Parasha # 39	“Statute”
Readings: Numbers 19:1-22:1; Judges 11:1-33; John 3:1-21; John 4:3-30; John 12:27-50
How do you please God and become Holy before Him? What are God’s statutes? His Torah= law (nomas), mispatim, ( precepts, judgments, ordinates, statutes, decrees, ways, path, pathway),= WORD (Logos, Debar, 10 Commandments) = His Son. Yeshua Jesus (John 1:1—5). How do you find your New Beginning in Truth……by His WORD. The WORD washes and purifies us. Today, follow the Tanach readings from the waters and ashes of purification…. To the Nazarite vow...... to being "Born-again” under the New Covenant. Consecrate yourself to the Lord.
Lessons:
TORAH
Numbers 19:1-9 (KJV) The Red heifer ceremony is for what reason? These are special ashes of purification for sin. Burnt ashes are symbolic of complete atonement. Do we need ashes of Red heifer today? Today, how is the sin offering handled? Who was without spot or blemish and became our sin offering?
Numbers 21:4-9 (KJV) What’s this all about?? …….Believe what God says; be strong in your Faith. What are the prophetic nature of these verses?
Let us use these Scripture verses to demonstrate the fullness of the Hebrew Scriptures as we examine the 4 levels of Hebraic Bible interpretation: • Peshat …(literal)… believe, test of faith • Remez…(complex, integrated, pearl string) sin = death. (Gen. 2:15-17) sin~snake (Gen.3:1-7) • _ How does man know sin. • Tree of knowledge of good & evil (Gen. 3:12-19) • Torah gives knowledge of sin (Leviticus 26).Torah without Faith gives no salvation. (Gal. 3:9-14) Justification is by Faith in Jesus. (Gal.2:16) (Salvation is a narrow path. (Matt. 7:14). – What is Faith (Heb.11:1) • Righteous by the Promise of Abraham (Faith) (Gal. 3:6; Heb. 11:8) • Drosh…(Insight, prophecy) …Brass= judgment of sin …Yeshua took our sin and was raised on a cross, (Deu. 21:22-23) a reminder of our sin debt. (John 3:14, 12:34, ) • Sohd or Yod…(mystery, revelation)… It’s our free-will choices but God’s foreknowledge is election. God knows who will look upon His Son & become “born-again” by Faith.

HAFTORAH
Judges 11:29-40 (KJV) Offer a Human sacrifice?? That misconception is why we study the Hebrew Roots of our Christian faith and why we should know the Hebrew Language??
What is the vav ( 6th letter of Hebrew alefbet). It means and/or/nor/ but/so/then/ when/ etc. Jephthah’s daughter was consecrated unto the Lord .. a virgin …. as a bride, pure unto God. Consecrate herself to the Lord..
We also are a remnant that shall be saved by a narrow path ….be “born-again”

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 3:1-7, 14-17 (JKV) Are you “born-again”? HOW? Is there oil in your lamp (Matthew 25:1-13)?
John 4:7-14 (KJV) The Samaritan Woman. Jesus explains “living water”. Who was Jesus sojourning amongst? Their faith was based on hearing the WORD. What happened to these Gentiles? V.39-42. Is this a shadow of Gentile Prophecy fulfilled?
John 12:34-35 (KJV) God is love. Consecrate yourself to the Lord. Today is the day!!!

The WORD instructs you in Blessings and Curses. • Choose you today whom you will follow…( Joshua 24:15) • Become Light of World (John 3:19-21, 12:46; 1 John 1:5-10) • Have everlasting life (John 3:16, 12:50) • Echad with Jesus and the Father (John 17:20-23) • We serve an Awesome God who will not leave or forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). • Dreadful to fall into hands of Living God (Hebrews 10:30 - 31) • Don’t bring strange fire before the Lord (Lev. 10:17; Numbers 16:35)

Korach	Parasha #38	“Korah”
Readings: Numbers 16:1- 18:32; 1 Samuel 11:14- 12:22; 2 Timothy 2:8-4:5; 2 John 1-13
Where are we going in today’s Parasha reading? The authority of Moses and Aaron, God’s anointed Ones, is challenged as strife and discontentment enters into the camp. Don't fall into the Hands of the Living God. It can even happen today, just don’t take your eyes off Christ.

Lessons:
TORAH

Numbers 16:1- 5 (KJV) Rebellion comes against God’s Shelach (His agents). The wilderness people of Israel bring strife, grumblings, and covetousness against the leadership. Here self-centeredness led to a lack of submission to the authority of God’s agents. They became lost in their self–focused behavior and they loss their personal relationship with the Lord.
Numbers 16:16-35 (KJV) Abba filters, shifts and sieves His people but righteousness shall prevail. If it was not of the Lord, it did not survive. God demands accountability. The rebellion continues…. (v. 41-50). Judgment is death by plague for 14,700 Israelites

HAFTORAH
1 Samuel 8:4-10 (KJV) Preamble to today’s reading. 1 Samuel 12:13-22 (KJV) Samuel humbles himself before God and fellow Israelite. He reaffirms the Theocracy of God ….. ,Let us do it man’s way…. “a King.” Abba desires our obedience and that we serve Him with all your heart. v. 25 “But if ye shall still do wickedly ye shall be consumed.” Prophetically, the Body of Christ will not be forsaken when we behave as a Shelach within the Body of Christ…. Show your Fruits of the Spirit to others.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
2 Timothy 2:11-19 (KJV) Be a workman approved by the Lord. What happened aforetime will happen again. 2 Timothy 3:1- 9 (KJV) Men perish for lack of truth. A famine of the Word of God shall come. Learn from Korah’s rebellion…avoid strife in Body of Christ. 2 Timothy 3:16- 4:5 (KJV) For the time will come of unsound doctrine. Be constructive not destructive. How can you escape the Fiery Pit of Korah.
STAY CHRIST-CENTERED.

2 John 4-11 (KJ V) Love one another , walk in it … “a commandment we had from the beginning.” Be not deceived…receive your full reward. Discernment against deception

Correct and reprove one another with scripture; Be led by Holy Spirit; Discuss your concerns face to face with your brother according to God's protocol. (Matthew 18:15-17, Matthew 5:23); Read daily the Scriptures that you not be deceived in these end times by lack of Scriptural knowledge. Scripture interprets scripture (Remez); Confirm your teacher’s teachings. (Acts 17:11)

Philippians 2:2 -6 (KJV) Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

Shelach L’cha	Parasha #37	“Send thou”
Readings: Numbers 13:1- 15:41; Joshua 2:1- 24; Hebrews 3:1- 4:16
“Send thou” an agent, a sent one, a shelach, to testify of God’s purpose for us. That shelach is you.
Today, we will observe how God authenticates or confirms His Word by two witnesses: Joshua/Caleb; Joshua's 2 spies; Ephraim/ Judah.
Today’s message is about a new beginning in the land. Is this a shadows of something future….??? The whole counsel of God brings you knowledge of these new beginnings as The Word reveals God’s final accomplishment (His Rest).
Lessons:

TORAH
Numbers 13:17-21 (KJV) Twelve Israelites are sent into the “promised land” to spy on the pagans that reside there.
The “promised land” is to be scouted-out for 40 days. Numbers 13:25-33 (KJV) A land of milk and honey to be delivered by the Lord. Man’s failure is a lack of faith in the power & deliverance of God Almighty.
Numbers 14:29-34 (KJV) A generation of Israelites perished and were cut off from Abba by lack of faith. Today, faith is the foundation to our salvation. 40 is a prophetic number of trials & testing.
Who is Joshua & Caleb? They represent the 2 sticks of Ephraim and Judah (Jer. 31-31). A New Covenant is made with the House of Israel and will be made during the Great tribulation with the House of Judah
The rest of the story.. Numbers 14:37-38 (KJV)
Numbers 14:1-12(KJV) Who do we fear most?.... man or God?

HAFTORAH
Fast-forward….. 40 years later …
Joshua 2:1-24 (KJV)
Why 2 scouts? What did Joshua learn from Moses sending sending the 12 scouts? By how many witnesses does God authenticate His message
Who is Rahab? Is she a prototype of Gentile Zionists? Name other Gentiles who have mutually helped the Jews; name other Jews who were aided by their Gentile brothers/sisters.
She is a type of what? She is a type of the Church who is sympathetic to their Jewish brothers (Christian Zionists).... A type of Gentiles helping the "wandering Jew" and the Great Tribulation Jewish people and fellow Israelites.
What was Rahab’s message? Remez … Jesus is a Jew. He is my brother!
When Jesus sits on His millennial throne, the Church will be divided as to those on the right hand (the righteous) and those on the left (the unrighteous) according to what they did in times distress for Jesus' brothers. ( Matthew 25:31-46). Yes the Church will be sifted in a sieve of righteousness that uncovers our self-righteousness.

NEW TESTAMENT (Brit Hadashah)
Hebrews 3:6- 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 Savior.
Those that heard the WORD but believed not lacked faith as they lived in unbelief. Hold steadfast in your faith Today!
What is the Rest? God did also find rest after His work? Sabbath is made for man. The Promised Land was to be the rest for wandering Israelites….A land of milk and honey. The redeemed in Christ will rest in the millennial reign of Christ. And… Later…. The Olam Haba!

What was the Gospel Preached??
Hab. 2:4b …the just shall live by his faith.
Romans 1:17 - 18 (KJV) The just shall live by faith. 18For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Galatians 3:10 -11 (KJV) But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
Ephesians 2:8 - 9 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.


Where do we stand with the Law???
Matthew 5:17-19 (KJV) Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill . 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled . 19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them , the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven .
Romans 10:4 (KJV) 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. SG# 5056 ..the aim, purpose, goal.
Romans 7:12 (KJV) 12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

In last weeks Parasha, we examined the attributes that the Holy Spirit imparts upon us as believers. We reviewed the Gifts and Callings of the Holy Spirit to make us a useful productive members of the Body of Christ. It is appropriate that we reexamine how the Holy Spirit prepares us for a ministry of reconciliation unto to the Father through the Son.
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (KJV) Our Spiritual Gifts.
What are your Spiritual gifts? How are you using your tent-making skills? You are to be fishermen of men. You are to be a Shelach!... A “Sent one,” an Agent in the image of Christ.
Seek that which is from above…Abba’s Rest….and it begins with the Sabbath.

Beha’alotekha	Parasha #36	“when you set up”
Readings: Numbers 8:1- 12:16; Zechariah 2:10- 4:7; 1 Corinthians 12:1- 14:40; John 19:31- 37; Hebrews 3:1- 6.
Lessons:
Last Sunday, we reviewed the events at Mt. Sinai and those that occurred in the upper room in Jerusalem at Shavuot/Pentecost. Here at JCIA we had a strong Receiving or Renewing of the Holy Spirit’s Anointing consistent with John 7:37-39 (KJV) “If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink . 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive).
So, now, what follows the manifestations of the Holy Spirit’s anointing by oil or water or fire? Today, our Parasha continues with a preparation for your calling by establishing your foundation on stone not in sand. That cornerstone in setting up your foundation is Christ…. A House built on the Blood and Water of the New Covenant (The New Testament). Being “born-again” the Holy Spirit gives you a new heart. If your flesh man will let him, the Holy Spirit’s dwelling place ( His Temple) is your heart..

TORAH
Numbers 8:1- 4 (KJV) The Lampstands are symbolic of what ?
Gold = deity; Light = Holy Spirit =Shekinah; Seven = completion =Rest; Branches = Christ & Church (shaft or vine = Christ; Flowers on branches = fruit= Church); Beaten gold = Christ (Isa. 53:3-5). Beaten flowers = our trials and tribulations as we are refined to be in the image of Christ. Remez verses are Revelation 1:12-16 (KJV) and Revelation 1:20 (KJV).

HAFTORAH
Zechariah 4:1- 14 (KJV) What is the lamp stand? A Menorah ? or Chanikeah?
What are the olive trees? Oil to feed lamps (Holy Spirit). Lamps are those redeemed in Christ. Olive trees=House of Israel & House of Judah = House of Jacob (Jer. 11:16-17). Where are branches today?
What allows the Branches to give fruit? Isa. 11:2 (KJV) What are the seven attributes of Holy Spirit? (eyes) Spirit of Truth within you; Spirit of knowledge; Spirit of understanding; Spirit of Wisdom; Spirit of counsel; Spirit of empowerment; Spirit of fear of LORD.

NEW TESTAMENT (Brit Hadashah)
1 Corinthians 12:1-11 (KJV) Our Spiritual Gifts!
What are your Spiritual gifts? How are you using your tent-making skills? You are to be fishermen of men. Setting up your House of God, Your Temple, by the Holy Spirit.
Fruits of Spirit (Gal.5:22): Love; Joy; Peace; Patience (Long-suffering); Meekness (Kindness); Goodness; Gentleness; ;Faithfulness; Self-control.
The Gifts of Spirit (1 Cor.12:7-11;27- 31; Rom.12:6-8) are : Hearing God (prophecy); Teaching; Tongues; Healing; Miracles; Wisdom; Discernment; Encouragement; Giving; Serving; Mercy; Leadership; Caring.
You may find a calling to the ministry (Eph. 4:11; 1 Cor. 12:27-28): Apostle; Prophet; Evangelist; Pastors; Teachers. Romans 11:29 (KJV) For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.

Hebrews 3:1- 8 (KJV) We are the House of God kept in order by Holy Spirit..
You are the collective Body of Christ …edify one another with your gifts. Harden not your heart. 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, 21 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) Explain the Water, the Blood and the record (verse 34-35). Our purification!
The metaphors of the water: The flood waters of Noah cleansed the earth. The water of cleansing for the Levitical was the brass laver. The Mikvah for ritual cleansing. The Water of the Red Heifer (Numbers 19:2-9) to cleanse the unclean. The Living water Christ offered the women at the well. The Living water within us. Yes, today through Christ's promise of “Living Water, ”we have baptism of the Holy Spirit.
The metaphors of the blood: Life is in Blood (Lev. 17:11). No forgiveness without Shedding Blood (Heb. 9:22). You can have no part of Me unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood (John 6:52- 58) The NT Covenant communion meal ( Matt. 26:27- 29).
Will this Remez study help to explain water and blood and record? 1 John 5:5-12 (KJV). Water and blood signifies and testify to Jesus' death, for in death the body fluids became separated just as a spun hematacrit is about 40 % blood and 60% fluid. A living man bleeds profusely red fresh blood when wounded. This signifies and bears record of His death as propitiation to the Father that the sacrificed lamb took away the sins of the world…”It is finished.”
Note, except for the KJV, the NKJV and the YLT, the newer and revised Bible versions, taken from Alexandrian text types through Gnostic deletions, have altered or removed verse 5:7. This deletion removes the trinity from the Bible.

Naso	Parasha #35	“Make an accounting”
Readings: Reading: Numbers 4:21-7:89; Judges 13:2-25; Acts 18:18; 21:17-22:29; John 7:53-8:11
Lessons:

Be Holy as “I am” Holy; be accountable; avoid adultery and idol worship. Accountability is your Halakah. We shall examine separation to God (Sanctification) by Nazarite Vow in Old Testament or Sanctification by New Testament Gospel message of being “Born-again.” Separate yourself unto the Lord God Almighty, keep Christ-centered.
In Parasha 34, we read in the book of Hosea about Gomer, about Israel’s adultery & idolatry and the Holy Spirit’s use of metaphors for inspired writers

TORAH

Numbers 5:11-29 (KJV) Law of Jealousies & the Jealousy offering. Our testing by the Lord under oath. Abba desires marital accountability as being echad….He tests marital infidelity by tribulation. Bitter waters to test depth of your bowels as the Holy Spirit search for leaven in the deep dark recesses of your heart/soul. How did Abba Father deal with his adulterous wife, Israel? Is there an accountability for Idolatry?
John 7:37-39 (KJV) 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink . 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Today by the Holy Spirit, we have "living water" to fill our belly with gushing rivers of the Holy Spirit.. We are to be Holy Spirit-led not carnally led.

What is a Nazarite vow?
Numbers 6:1-8 (KJV) To separate oneself to the Lord.

HAFTORAH

Judges 13:1-4 (KJV) Samson declared a Nazarite by an angel of Lord. …to be a deliver of Israel…..What was Samson’s Idol? You know rest of story…. …. Accountability is required even of those under a Nazarite vow (Samson). Abba is longsuffering, waiting for us to give up idols of the flesh, refuge in the world, and strange doctrine.

John 8:1-11 (KJV) Was this a set up to trip Jesus up? Where is the man? Commandment # 7 “Thou shall not commit adultery.” Death by stoning by 2 witnesses by the Law of Moses. Under the law of Moses your accountability for sin is death. Yet, Jesus forgives the repentant sinner that they might have life. Old self is dead to sin as in Christ you as new creation. Repent and see restoration, reconciliation, and revival and sin no more. What did Yeshua Jesus write in the sand?
Jeremiah 17:13-15 (KJV) O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise. Behold, they say unto me, Where is the word of the LORD? let it come now.

NEW TESTAMENT (Brit Hadashah)

Introduction: Acts 18:18 (KJV) Paul takes a Nazarite vow.
Acts 21:23-28 (KJV) Paul reaffirms his vow with 4 other Jews. Paul is arrested for inciting a riot.
Acts 22:6-21 (KJV) Again Paul explains his conversion from Orthodox Judaism to Messianic Judaism. What was Paul’s idols before his conversion? ….Antichristian legalism.... Does that exist today?

We are washed, sanctified and justified. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV) Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
Abba Father desires that none should perish. Matthew 18:12-14 (KJV) How think ye ? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, doth he not leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the mountains, and seeketh that which is gone astray ? 13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say unto you, he rejoiceth more of that sheep , than of the ninety and nine which went not astray . 14 Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish .
2 Peter 3:9 (KJV) The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Readings: Numbers 1:1- 4:20; Hosea 1:10-2:20; Luke 2:1-52; 1 Corinthians 12:12-31
Lessons:
Now beginning the Book of Numbers

Today we will examine some of the hidden mysteries of God. The Parasha's Theme is Connectivity! .... Echad from the 12 tribes to Jezreel to Christ to Christ- in- us to the Body of Christ……. WOW !
TORAH

Leviticus 26:11 - 12 (KJV) And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you. 12And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people. Prophetic meaning??? Ezekiel 37:26 - 28 (KJV) My tabernacle also shall be with them: yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And the heathen shall know that I the LORD do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them for evermore.
Before today's study let us review the Mishkan (Tabernacle) as the Tabernacle points to Christ’s redemption of us.

Outer court on bronze sockets…………………Admits only the Righteous in white; bronze represents judgment

One East entrance …………………………………Christ is the only door to salvation.

Bronze altar …………………………………………… Judgment and only remission of sin by shedding innocent blood.

Bronze laver ……………………………………………Cleansing water of Judgment points to the living water of Holy Spirit.

Tabernacle on silver sockets ………………….Silver= redemption.

Bagger skins outside ……………………………… portrays Christ's humility. (Isa. 53:2-3)

Gold inside ……………………………………………. deity

Holy place ……………………………………………. Where we freely enter as curtain was torn. Here we meet Christ, our High Priest and Intercessor, who goes to the Father with our prayers.

Table shewbread ………………………………… The Communion table wine & bread

Altar incense ……………………………………….Prayers of saints taken by Intercessor into presence of God

Menorah ……………………………………………. Jesus stand amidst His Church.. The light to the world

Most Holy place ………………………………….Abba dwelling place smoke/fire

Ark of Covenant …………………………………… Abba’s presence between the Cherubim The Ark of the Covenant tesatifies of Israel's sojourn in the wilderness as it contains Aaron's rod, manna, the 10 Commandments on stone tablets).

Mercy seat ………………………………………….Man’s failures are covered by blood. Blood sacrifices temporarily covered man's sin under Torah; Today, Yeshoshua's blood offered once as propitiation for all mankind brings eternal salvation.

Taking a Census. Numbers 1:1-4 (KJV); Numbers 1:29-46 (KJV) Wow……what does this mean??? Is this important?? Two witnesses with same identical numbers (Num. 2:4-32) Is this prophetic? We will note humor of Holy Spirit!

HAFTORAH

Finding our heritage as Israelites, our roots, our destiny.

Hosea 1:8-11 (KJV)…...Prophecy of whoredoms and God’s people seeking another god. Expressed as a metaphor in Gomer, an adulterous wife. Her Son,Jezreel, means to sow to the 4 winds, the 4 corners of the earth. Daughter ( Lo-ruhamah) .. “I will have no mercy.” Son (Lo-ammi) “for ye are not my people.”

Hosea 2:1-13 (KJV) ……. fallen Ephraim to whoredom of idols. …. Loss of Feasts of Lord, New moons, and Sabbaths. (by 2 or more witnesses: Hosea 6:6; Isa. 1:11-14; Amos 5:21-23; Micah 6:6-8)
Restoration is foreseen as "Lo" (not) is removed by Lord. (Ammi =My people; Ruhamah= My mercy; Jezreel is the harvest of the sowed seed amongst the nations). What does Abba desire? Micah 6:8 (KJV)

Placing your ultimate trust in anything other than the Lord God is idolatry or whoredom Gomer). Some of the faithful have short memory.

Jeremiah 11:10 - 11 (KJV) They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, which refused to hear my words; and they went after other gods to serve them: the House of Israel and the House of Judah have broken my covenant which I made with their fathers. Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

Judges 2:8-10 (KJV) 8 And Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being an hundred and ten years old. 9 And they buried him in the border of his inheritance in Timnathheres, in the mount of Ephraim, on the north side of the hill Gaash. 10 And also all that generation were gathered unto their fathers: and there arose another generation after them, which knew not the LORD, nor yet the works which he had done for Israel.

NEW TESTAMENT (Brit Chadashah)

Redemption of Abba’s firstborn, His only begotten Son, The Christ . The restoration begins.

Luke 2:21-35 (KJV) Yeshua Jesus kept Torah. Torah was the yardstick for the unblemished “Lamb of God.” Simeon foresees salvation, a light to Gentiles, glory of Israel restored. Messiah to restore the “seed of Jezreel.”

Luke 2:36-38 (KJV) Anna ..a prophetess….. Redemption has come. Abba’s plan of salvation by narrow gate revealed. Our reconciliation, restoration unto the Father.

Parasha Theme this week is connectivity.How do we become one in Christ ? …echad! Nicodemus said “How can I be born again? Matt 3:1-21

John 14:6-7 (KJV)Jesus saith unto him,” I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me . If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.” .

John 10:9 (KJV) “I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture .” ……..and….. The rest of the story……

1 Corinthians 12:12-31(KJV) One body …..us in Christ …….one olive tree Romans 11:16-24 (KJV).(v. 24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and wert grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree: how much more shall these, which be the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree?)

Colossians 1:18-22 (KJV) 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. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven. And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Behar Sinai	Parasha #32	“On mount Sinai”
Readings: Leviticus 25:1-26:2; Jeremiah 32:6-27; Philemon (all); Luke 4:16-21; 1 Corinthians 7:21-24; Galatians 6:7-10
Lessons:

Exodus 20:1 (KJV)and God spake (Dabar) all these words (Debar), saying,… the 10 Commandments from Mt. Sinai. Debar = Logos = WORD (John 1:1). Jesus was proclaimed as the WORD to the world in 70 languages. Abba’s WORD is Yehoshua Jesus. What is your calling from Mt Sinai. What are your Tent-making skills as servants, brothers in Christ.
Themes of today’s lesson: The Messiah will set the captives free FROM SIN AND DEATH,…..and the vengeance of God is reserved for the unrighteous. You cannot dwell in His land unless you are obedient to Torah. If you live by the sword you will die by the sword…. Evil befalls evil. Many antichrists will come against His blessed Land of Israel. Satan rejoiced when God cursed the land for nearly 2000 years. Now a land of milk and honey.. A Israelite homeland.

TORAH
Leviticus 25:1-7 (KJV) What city did Abba place His Name upon? What land did He give to Abraham? Have the Jews ever inhabited all of their land inheritance? What are the people doing during the 7th year Sabbatical rest of the land? How was this similar to the gathering of manna in the wilderness? Is there a spiritual (drosh) implication for the 7th millennium?
Leviticus 25:8-23 (KJV) When Christ was crucified freedom was granted to us in-Christ..The Law of Liberty. Repent and believe and you shall be saved. The curse of the law is removed. (as part of 33 Parasha in Leviticus for today reading). Christ crucified …was that a Jubilee year? When the 50th year Jubilee occurs, it is on Yom Kippur (10 Tishri) with the sounding of the shofar Ha Gadol .. The Great Trumpet. Jubilee =50 years (YK feast). What is the Jews current Jubilee cycle? 50 days of Omer (Shuvout feast).The Land of Israel is Abba’ Land.
The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath: Sabbath for land (Sabbatical year) ….6 yrs land to bear fruits… also needs Sabbath rest. 7 an authenticating code in Hebrew & Greek writings. A sign from the the Father to us! The # 7.. A menorah structure…Yeshua Jesus & us.

Haftorah
Jeremiah 32:17-25 (KJV)…… Jeremiah’s Prayer. An Awesome and powerful loving God. Reap what you sow .v. 19. Israelites given a land of milk & honey. Judah falls because of disobedience & Idolatry (606 BC). What is the shadow of sword, pestilence and famine. A day of darkness & gloom (Joel 2:2). Jeremiah buys land before fall of Jerusalem?? Where?

New Testament (Brit Chadasha)
Philemon 10-19 (KJV) Onesimus a run-away slave of Philemon. Onesimus returns not as a slave but servant and brother in Christ. How do you treat a brother in Christ? Does not the same Spirit of Abba dwell within Him.
1 Corinthians 7:21-24 (KJV) We are called as Israelites to be servants. 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 .. You are called … examine your tent-making skills and began to use them as a bondservant of the Lord. Were not we all “slaves to sin” at one time with the forces of unrighteousness, darkness? We are bought with a price and paid for by the Blood of Christ. Now by our free-will we are bondservants to Him. (slave in ..Romans; prisoner in Philemon. We are that runaway slave, Onesimus! Repent and be reconciled.

Galatians 6:7-10 (KJV) You shall reap what you sow! The worldly struggle flesh vs. Spirit. Do not become weary of doing God’s work. “Faint not” …. be a cheerful servant for then you shall accrue treasures in heaven. WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE ABBA!! Colossians 3:17 (KJV) And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
Last week’s Parasha discussed Messiah Ben Joseph ending in a comma,
Luke 4:16-21 (KJV) And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. 17And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. ,….(gap Isa. 61:2b) …… Messiah ben David….. and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. Spiritual famine in Israel during antichrist …. day of wrath/vengeance, vengeance is mine says the Lord. A day of darkness & gloom (Joel 2:2)

emor	Parasha #31	“Say”
Readings: Leviticus 21:1- 24:23; Ezekiel 44:15-31; Mark 2:23- 3:5; Luke 4:14- 32; Matthew 5:38-
Lessons: 42


Keep Holy the Lord’s Sabbath’s. The Sabbath is the focal point for the Lord’s eternal plan. It is a rehearsal rest leading to the Millennial Kingdom and Olam Haba. We face a daily struggle between leaven /unleavened. Not all people will accept Yeshua Jesus’ salvation. Be Holy as He is holy. Remain united in Christ in brotherly love.
Leviticus 23:1-4 (KJV)
The first Feast of the Lord is the Sabbath. When was 4th Commandment given Israel? …… at Shavuot. It is an eternal commandment first given as an example at creation. The Father’s eternal Rest is symbolized by His 7th creation day of rest. It is a sign to His people. This Commandment continues unto our death, and then we enter the eternal rest, the Olam Haba. The Sabbath was given before Torah was given as sustenance in the wilderness wanderings for our learning (Exodus 16:21-27). What is our sustenance today?

Leviticus 24:5-9 (KJV)
The showbread. “Bread of Abba’s presence” A Covenant meal. The WORD (Torah). Sustenance for the priesthood (? manna). For us? “give us this day our daily Bread”

Leviticus 24:10-16 (KJV)
What is the Peshat meaning? (A simple story of a struggle between good and evil, unleavened and leavened); The Remez meaning? (other verses about Dan as a snake in the pathway and he shall leap from Bashan into an Eqypt (the secular world.); The Drosh meaning? (Prophetic end time state of apostate people and blasphemy and taking the mark of the beast.); The Shod Level? ( the flesh man struggles with the spirit man) Can you see basic struggle between darkness and Light? Leaven/unleaven

What does the Lord say about the Sabbath?
Mark 2:23-28 (KJV)
The Sabbath is a focal point, the weapon, of our sustenance. Sabbath made for man not man for Sabbath. David ate showbread for the Priests? ..Prophetic? What is showbread? Is Showbread … Leavened or unleavened? According to Josephus (Antiq. III 6,6) it is unleavened.
Mark 3:1-6 (KJV) Jesus said “do good on the Sabbath.” Sabbath is for man, not man for Sabbath. Mark 2:28 (KJV) Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath . Matthew 12:8 (KJV) For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day . Luke 6:5 (KJV) And he said unto them, That the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath . Here Yeshua Jesus is asserting His authority as our Lord God, Creator of all Things as recorded by 2 0r more witnesses. He is the Lord of the Sabbath.

Jesus healed on the Sabbath?  Withered hand (Matt. 12:10-13)  Cast out demons (Mark 1:23-27)  Infirmary in osteoporotic woman (Luke 13:10-14)  Peter’s mother-in-law with fever (Luke 4:38-39)  Congestive Heart failure (Luke 14:1-6)  Lame man @ Betheesda (John 5:1-12)  Picked corn in fields (Mark 2:3-28)
What day is the Lord’s Day? (Rev. 1:9-10) The Lords day begins with the 7 years of tribulations wich leads to the millennial reign of Christ. What is key of David? (Rev. 3:7-8)

Prophecy: Whose ate hallowed Bread on the Sabbath? 1 Samuel 21:1-6 (KJV)Who is called Son of David? (Matt. 15:21- 22). Today , we in-Christ can freely enter the Holy Place containing the Showbread just as King David! We have an Intercessor, A High Priest to take our petitions to the Father. Who alone is worthy to work and claim The Sabbath as His Day? No other man has a Torah Claim on the Sabbath? Who alone created the Sabbath?
The prophetic Key of David The Key to enter the Holy Place as “born-again” believers just as King David did.Christ is our High Priest & Intercessor and meets born-again Believers in the Holy Place of the Shewbread. Key to Throne room and most Holy Place when Christ make us Kings and Priests (the elders). 24 courses of David as prelude? Key to Christian righteousness is Repentance. David and Bath-sheba David counts the magnificence of His Kingdom. Repentance is message of John the Baptist, Yeshua Jesus There can be no revival without repentence! Key to open & close (Isaiah 22:22-25, Rev. 3:7) He alone is Lord of the Sabbath and Rules with an Iron Hand in the Millennium. The Godheads Theocracy

Luke 4:16-30 (KJV) Jesus said I am That Messiah of Israel. He came to His own but His own received Him not. Now, healing & spiritual revival went amongst the Gentiles and in Gentile cities. The Lord’s Hand will be upon the Gentiles. There is coming a lack of Biblical knowledge and spiritual famine in the whole world.

Ezekiel’s Temple (chapters 40 to 48) Ezekiel 40:2-5 (KJV) The 5th Temple (6th Dwelling Place of God) but 4th Temple according to Jews. Why Ezekiel’s Temple?? .. Dwelling place for Messiah ben David. Review: Temple history. Jebusite Temple mount & City of David; Ezra-Nehemiah-Herod’s Temple . The 5th Temple, Ezekiel’s Temple, is Big ! This is the dwelling place for the Lord's Millennial reign.

Matthew 5:38-42 (KJV) Again our Parasha message of brotherly love and our struggle between leaven & unleavened. Jesus says do good. Share with one another. No retaliation. Have compassion, understanding, empathy,love. Be Christ like.

The scriptures unfold the mysteries of Yeshua Jesus and unfold the mystery of restoration of God’s Kingdom to Himself. Restoration is by a narrow straight path. Be ye’ Holy as He Is Holy.

Leviticus 20:22-23 (KJV) Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. 23 And ye shall not walk in the manners of the nation, which I cast out before you: for they committed all these things, and therefore I abhorred them.

HAFTORAH
Judgment of a nation in the 8-7th century BC.
Amos 9:1-10 (KJV) Israel can’t escape the Lord’s Almighty Hand and His Judgments of the chosen People. WHY, the sowing of Israel amongst the nations (Jezreel)? Disobedience and Idol worship…. Lack of knowledge of God’s WORD.
Isaiah 5:13-14 (KJV) Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst. 14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it.
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
WHERE ARE WE TODAY…..Bible illiterate!

Mark 11:12-14 (KJV) And on the morrow, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry: 13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came, if haply he might find any thing thereon: and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs was not yet. 14 And Jesus answered and said unto it, No man eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his disciples heard it.
The time of year was Passover, the middle of the month of Nisan (April). In Israel the fig trees produced crops of small edible buds in late March-April followed by the appearance of large green leaves. This early green “fruit” (buds) was common food for local peasants. An absence of these buds despite the tree’s green foliage indicated it would bear no fruit that year. Eventually, these buds dropped off and a second crop of figs form and ripen in late May and June, the fig season. Thus, shortly before Passover (mid-April), it was reasonable for Jesus expect to find some edible fruit on that fig tree. Jesus curses the fig tree. He came to his own and they rejected Him. The Gospel message went to the Gentiles and Messianic Jews.
See the prophetic nature of the fig tree parable. The nation of Israel did not fulfill its commission to be an evangelic nation of Priests to the peoples of the world.

The restoration of Israel..
Mark 13:28-30 (KJV) “Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When her branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is near : 29 So ye in like manner, when ye shall see these things come to pass, know that it is nigh, even at the doors . 30 Verily I say unto you, that this generation shall not pass, till all these things be done.”
The nation of Israel in exile since 70 AD. (1878 years) were returned to their homeland in 1948, that is the beginning of last generation.

How to be Perfect…. Be Holy
Matt. 5:43- 48 (KJV) Love even your enemies. Be perfect as Abba is perfect. Be Holy as I am Holy
Mark 12:28- 31 (KJV) Greatest Commandment.. Royal Commandment.
1 John 4:7-13 (KJV) Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. 12 No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit.
John 14:15 (KJV) “If ye love me, keep my commandments.”

Galatians 5:13-23 (KJV) Entire law =love.

James 2:1- 9 (KJV) Show no favoritism. Brothers in-Christ are equal. The Royal Law is love your neighbor as yourself. Stay under the covering of the Blood of Christ don’t put your self under Torah for righteousness. Torah is instructions of Abba's will but will not give you Salvation. Salvation is only by a narrow, straight path through the blood of Christ.

Matt. 15: 1-6 (KJV) Love our mother & father. The 5th Commandment has a blessing. It is not replaced by oral Torah of giving Temple offerings. God's commandments are not replaced traditions of man

1 Peter 1:13-20 (KJV) Be Holy as Abba is Holy. Holiness is possible by the “born-again” Spirit within the believer. We live here but we are not of this world! “Be Holy as I am Holy”


Romans 1:18- 32 (KJV) God’s wrath against the ungodly. The creation speaks of a Creator. Many will exchange knowing God for Idols & lust. Yes, mankind will loose knowledge of Lord God Almighty….Eternal Death for the scoffer and unbeliever…..The wide road to self destruction.

Romans 5:8-11 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. 10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 11 And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.

TORAH
Leviticus 16:27-28 (KJV) And the bullock for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung. 28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.
What sin offering was crucified outside the Camp?

HAFTORAH
Ezekiel 22:1- 16 (KJV) Abba judges the city of Jerusalem. The city sheds blood. What are the detestable practices?
Our Father is longsuffering. What is his judgment on these people?

NEW TESTAMENT (BRITCHADASHA)
Hebrews 9:6-28 (KJV) Review the role of the High Priest. Training wheels leading to Christ are revealed. Under the New Covenant, Jesus is full atonement for our sins. Only by His blood on Ark of Covenant seat is there meaningful redemption. (SOZO)
One sin offering for all and all generations.

Romans 3:21-26 (KJV) A righteousness of God apart from the law. By Who? How Justified? What power in the Blood?
Romans 9:30-33 (KJV) We, Gentiles, can be counted righteous. Faith is the key to Salvation. Who is stumbling block to Jew?

Christ is goal of Torah, Tanach (OT), and NT Romans 10:4 (KJV) 4 For Christ is the end (telos)* of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. (mine)* *SG# 5056 τέλος [ telos / tel •os /] n n . From a primary tello (to set out for a definite point or goal)

The law is Abba's instruction as a schoolmarm pointing to the goal of the law or its purpose, Messiah Yeshua Jesus.

John 5:39-40 (KJV) “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me . And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.”

1 Corinthians 5:6- 8 (KJV) our pride is leavened, self-inflated, puffed-up. Pride and lust was the cause of Satan’s fall. Pride is man’s noose to hang himself. The Passover lamb that was without blemish became sin for us. We have Salvation through His Blood offering.
Life is in the Blood

2 Corinthians 2:14-16 (KJV) The body of Christ is to spread the gospel of NT Salvation. In your nostrils : A life or death aroma. Without salvation of Christ, sin brings death with its stench of putrefying flesh, decay and worms but everlasting life awaits the overcoming believer. -We are the light of the world -The salt of the Earth
We, the children of God are an aroma pleasing to the father.

Ambassadors for Christ Matthew 28:18-20 (KJV) And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth . Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost : 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.”

The practical .. obvious leprous lesions & those implied by Torah.. How do we deal with uncleaness. What manner of person are you? What is your measure of faith/hope/love /forgiveness/humility/obedience. Can you recognize clean/unclean, light/dark, good/evil, righteousness/wickedness.

Lessons:
TORAH
Leviticus 14:1- 32 (KJV) ..procedure for cleansing the Leper
Leviticus 14:10-18 (JV) ..cleanse the Leper (sinner)… Cleansing by washinf, a purification mitvah, shave head 7th day and on 8th day trespass & sin offering & meal (meat) offering. Note type sacrifices. Declare Leper clean Blood & anointing oil , pour oil upon him.
What is the implications of what we read in these Scriptures… Peshat level … a cleansing ceremony Remez level … Levitical sacrifices (Lev. 6:24-7:10) Drosh level … points to New Covenant -Why blood? -Why oil? -Why pour oil on head? -Why eat sacrifices?
We are as filthy rags cleansed by Blood of Christ & keep clean by the anointing of the Holy Spirit. We are cleansed in Communion at the Lord Supper.

Leviticus 14:33-57 (KJV).. Cleansing unclean houses.
How to search an infected house and watch for re-infection.....Symbolic??

Leviticus 15:1-33 (KJV)…Unclean discharges from body Leviticus 15:25-30 (KJV) “issue of blood in unclean woman” How long will mankind be unclean. What is the 8th day?

HAFTORAH
2 Kings 7:1- 20 (KJV) (introduction found in 6:24-29) Implication of what we read in Scriptures… -Peshat… literal/practical....Abba will provide when all is lost and uses the most least amongst us. -Remez …confirm with pearl string .....An authentication by other Bible passages (Red Sea crossings/Egyptians; Joshua/Jericho; Gideon/Midianites-Amalekites) -Drosh… prophetic/parables .....The unclean know their fate! The Lord may use unclean to do His Will.(Assyrians to disperse Northern Kingdom) What was the spiritual state of Northern Kingdom?
We are to learn from these examples and their meaning. Don’t blasphemy the Lord. Be it to you according to your faith. Abba always preserves a remnant. Walk in alignment with the will of the Lord.
Are we tested beyond our abilities?

Matthew 9:20-22 (KJV) Yeshua Jesus deals with the issue of blood for 12 years. What is hem of His garment?
Be healed according to your faith.

Luke 17:3-10 (KJV) Always forgive your brother when he tresspass against you. Luke 17:3 (KJV)3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him . Corrupt NT translations: Luke 17:3 (NIV) 3 So watch yourselves. “If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. other corrupt translations: NIV, ASV 1901, Darby1890, ESV, ISV, Message, Nestle-Aland 27, NA27INT, NASB, NCV, NLT, NRSV, WUESTNT, GNB, Stern’s JNT, Stern’s CJB.
Incorrect doctrine in NIV etc. Are we to judge sin(s)? Who has Abba chosen to Judge the sins of Mankind? Who has the only authority to authority to forgive sin… Are we not to forgive our brothers sins?

Don’t belittle your brother! ……be forgiving & love your brother, show empathy … Forgive how many times? Matt. 18:22**
What measure of faith were you given? How can you increase in faith. Examine what manner of man…woman are you???? Are you a doubting Thomas?
What 4 principle of your Halakah are in these parables? -Unwavering forgiveness -Unwavering faith. -Unwavering empathy & humility -Unwavering humble service for God ‘ kingdom. -Serve Abba in humility for it is your expected duty.

Hebrews 13:1-6 (KJV) Have brotherly love, compassion, empathy one for another. Have no Lashon hara (evil tongue of gossip) just be content with what you have and rebuke your lustful nature (covetousness). The unclean will be judged. Their day is coming.
Walk with the Lord for The Lord will not leave or forsake you. We are not of this world so what can man do to the Children of God.

Leviticus 13:1-59 (KJV) Leprosy is an infectious disease jus as is sin. It is strange fire before God' alter and God will have His vengeance.

Leviticus 13:1- 8 (KJV) The unclean must be separated to onesself and away from others. Separated from the congregation so as others don’t become unclean. Sin is contagious.
Uncleanness comes from disinformation of false prophets & is infectious to those with “itchy ears” & can give off an unclean spirits …don’t become a portal of entry for these unclean spirits. Today, more than any other time we need to know the source of information that we feed upon or that we give to others..
By the outward signs of leprosy you will be recognized but spiritually you can “walk like a duck, talk like a duck” but not be a duck!! How does the world recognize that you are indeed a child of God? .... By your mouth and your works. You mouth will reveal you heart, your true intent. You cannot hide the skin lesions of leprosy.
Keep your self holy and true ..walk in the Fruits of the Spirit and watch what comes out of your mouth!!
What is prophetic of 7 day of that God examines your sin nature/ … ???? ..... 7 days for you to evaluate your uncleanness by living in a dark world? There will be 7 tribulation years of God’s wrath on an unclean world when the light is removed.

The New Testament Version of Leviticus 13:1- 8!!! The unclean must be separated to self and from others. Separated from the congregation so as others don’t be come unclean. Do not be yoked to unbelievers
2 Corinthians 6:14-15 (KJV) Do not be yoked together (in bondage) with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, (mine)

Jesus “Conceived” to be the Prince of Peace. 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.
Ezekiel 44:1-3 (KJV) Then he brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath entered in by it, therefore it shall be shut. It is for the prince; the prince, he shall sit in it to eat bread before the LORD; he shall enter by the way of the porch of that gate, and shall go out by the way of the same. Yeshua Jesus will enter the Temple through the East Gate.
Zechariah 3:2-5 (KJV) Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment. And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. Who are we who are to be clothed in white garments of righteousness & given a crown?

Matthew 11:2-6 (KJV) Why is John questioning Jesus’ ministry? Is he questioning His anointing? Was not John the Baptist a part of Jesus’ anointing? ..... and was not John to prepare the way for Yeshua Jesus? What is Yeshua Jesus’ response? …………LOOK..

Lessons:

Shemini “Eighth” or “New Beginning” ..Very appropriate after Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread. Do what is pleasing unto the Lord and He will cleanse you. Be a clean vessel to be used by the Lord. Show your love by obedience.
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.
Did that put the fear of God into the Levitical Priesthood? Does that put the fear of God into you? Hebrews 10:31 (KJV) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

Leviticus 11:1-47 (KJV) clean/unclean animals (read on your own)
Clean (tahore) ..unclean (tamah) per Torah but “kosher” is from modern Hebrew and not found in Torah. Why dietary laws? Health. Obedience to law (today avoid legalism), Daily Reminders to keep Torah Other reminders and not to sin. Other reminders: 1.Tzitzis on garment. 2. Teffilin wrapped on arm. 3. Phylacteries on forehead. Yet, they could not keep Torah or keep from idols worship. Obedience by law is not possible but obedience by love is from the heart. “If You love me keep my Commandments”

How do you appear before the Lord?
Tithes and offerings Spend time in the WORD of God Prayer.. Supplication.. Intercession Perpetual incense of our prayers Fasting Sacrifice of Praise Worship ..enter the Throne Room thru Yeshua Jesus Lift Holy Hands to the Lord. Be of a contrite heart, meek and humble Love.. The Lord and one another 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. Give self as a living sacrifice. Accountability and Repentance Be of a pure & circumcised Heart Fruits of the Spirit

2 Samuel 6:1-11(KJV)
Does Abba’s Torah mean … what it says and say what it means? Again strange fire before the Lord! What is Abba saying so that we might understand today?? ‘My way or the highway' (give up the ghost) ..You will find My laws in the Torah. 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 Roman Catholic Church created Church policy from the pagan feasts, their custom and traditions and presented these to a gullible and non-discerning people as holy unto the people. “Thou shall have no god before (alongside, beside or in addition to) Me” (1st Commandment) (Exodus 20:3)
Seek wise counsel…Acts 17:11

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.

Mark 7:14- 23(KJV)
How do we defile God’s Temple? Your mouth reflects your Heart. Your mouth defiles your Temple. By your mouth you judge others. We are not to judge one another.
How is there power in the tongue? It kills your brother! Gossip Idle talk ..’yea be yea & nea be nea’ Belittling, judgmental Negativity, sarcastic comments Slander, defamation, blasphemy Condemnation, criticism Maliciousness Cursing, foul language
2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1 (KJV) No fellowship with the unclean or evil. Keep your self holy and true.

Galatians 2:11-21 (KJV)
Paul critiques Peter. We are all equal in the eyes of God. Jew or Gentile, man or woman, freeman or slave. Don’t separate your self from your Christian brothers over food or pious behavior. Don’t let your actions be an obstacle in keeping your brother from Christ.

Tzav	Parasha #25	“Command”
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.
Lessons:
In this Parasha, we examine how we approach a Most Holy God. How are we righteous before the Father?....Tzav …Keep My commandments if you love Me. Remember sin leads to spiritual death.

For today’s reading let’s examine the Burnt Offering. Leviticus 1:3-9 and Leviticus 6:8-13 (KJV).
The Burnt offering is a picture of what? Discuss the Eternal burning fire? What does it have in common with the Menorah, The eternal light of the New Jerusalem, The Shekinah Glory and the Shamash (servant candle). Do you see how they point to Yeshua Jesus.

Malachi 3:1-5 (KJV)
Discuss who is the Messenger? The Bible explains the Bible! What is “like a refiners fire.” Fire draws you close to the Lord. Also our offerings shall bring us in close association with the Lord. Judgment is reserved for the Lord Jesus. “Vengeance is Mine” says the Lord. We are not to judge one another…. But… How do we judge? Gossip!! Judge not least you be judged accordingly.

1 Timothy 2:1 – 10 (KJV).
Who is the mediator? Reflect on that Mediator of Abba’s actions in the Tanach (Christophanies). We approach the Father with prayer, supplications, and intercessory prayer. We are to pray for everyone including our rulers. How are we to worship? Our God’s worship requirements are simple: Prayer, fasting, song, praise and hold up holy hands? If we walk the walk, we will do good works. Yeshua Jesus became a ransom for us (a price was paid), we are not to be effortless children…but doers of the Word.

Hebrews 13:5 – 16 (KJV)
We must always be discerning especially now as it is becoming politically incorrect to be a Christian. Watch the fruit of your lips! Despite all, you are covered by the Blood of Christ. The death angle passed over you when Christ’s Blood was applied to the doorpost of your heart. You have eternal life by His testimony. Therefore offer a sacrifice of praise.

Mark 12:28 – 34 (KJV)
Shema Yisrael. The Greatest Commandment of all is… A 11th Commandment?? A New Commandment?? (John 13:34). Is this a take-off from Leviticus 19:18b …but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD. Neighbor vs. one another believer in the Body of Christ.

1 Corinthians 10:14 – 22 (KJV)
Choose you today who you will serve…. and from which cup you drink. Drink from the cup of Blessing. The communion cup is the cup of The Lord’s Supper. The Lord loves you with a jealous love. This is different than man’s jealousy, as man’s jealousy is based on self-insecurity. Abba’s jealousy is based on self-assurance & Truth. He desires that no one else have you except Himself. He desires that none be lost and all come to saving grace… but the road is narrow!!

Romans 12:I-2 (KJV) present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

Hebrews 13:15-16 (KJV) 15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name. 16 But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

What are your Spiritual acts of Worship…. How do you appear before the Lord?  Tithes  Spend time in the WORD of God  Prayer.. Supplication.. Intercession  Perpetual incense of our prayers before the Father as a pleasing aroma.  Fasting  Sacrifice of Praise  Worship ..enter the Throne Room  Lift Holy Hands to the Lord.  Love.. The Lord and one another  Communion.. Partake of the Lord’s Supper or else He will have no part of you!  Halakah...Your Christian walk  Obedience to God  Walk not after the traditions of man.  Give self as a living sacrifice.  Accountability and Repentance  Be of a pure & circumcised Heart

Vayikra	Parasha #24	"and he called”
Readings: Leviticus 1:1- 6-7: Isaiah 43:21- 44:23; Hebrews 10:1-39; Romans 8:1-13
Let us give offerings from our heart unto Abba that we “may draw near” (korban = sacrifices). …Yeshua Jesus is our korban, the Pesach Lamb, sacrificed for us to draw us near to Abba that we become echad (Romans 12:1-2).
Today, as our High Priest, He intercedes for us in the Holy Place to be spiritually Face to face with the Father.
Lessons:
TORAH
Understanding the Temple korban (sacrifices).
Minchah …is to bestow/appropriate gifts to ABBA
Types of Sacrifices: animal (Zevachim), grain (Menachot)
Sacrifice Order: order to present offerings.
Mandatory …Sin / Trespass offering for sin. Voluntary …..Burnt (a complete commitment to God) ……Fellowship with Abba with Peace & Grain offering. …...communal meal between you with God.

Leviticus 2:1-16 (KJV) “meat” in King James Bible means “meal.” The Meal Offering is bloodless, consisting of fine flour, oil and frankincense. It may be given with a drink offering of wine (1/4 hin). It is for the Lord and Priesthood. Only Unleavened bread is offered to the Lord. The produce of our toil gives a sweet aroma to the Lord “to draw near” to Abba Father. The First Fruits of your toil belong to the Lord.

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 43:21 – 28 (KJV) …. Condemnation Abba despised their sacrifices & feasts and sent them into exile. (Amos 5:21-27; Micah 6:6-8; Hosea 6:6, 2:10-11; Isa. 1:11-14).Who was the 1st man? (1 Cor. 15:45-49). The Natural man is from water of natural birth of amniotic fluid whose life is like vapor, going from dust to dust. The spiritual man has the Holy Spirit within himself. He goes from death (death to sin) to eternal life. His Baptism of water is a picture of new birth to be Spirit filled and gives himself to God. With baptism of Spirit, God gives Himself to you (Pentecost). The man of flesh is from Egypt (worldly) while the man of Spirit is to reflect the image of Christ.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 10:1-10 (KJV) (Psalm 40:1-10) The Rauch HaKodesh came upon Jesus, God’s fully mature Son, to empower Him for His ministry and to raise Jesus from the dead. Believers receive this same Spirit to become a part of the Body of Christ. Present yourselves as a living sacrifice.

Isaiah 44:1-8 (KJV) … Spiritual Restoration among the melo-Ha’goyim. Can you find Jesus? Who is Jeshurun? Two house theology vs one House of Jacob? The final Redeemed House of Jacob, with its mixed-multitude, is to go into the Millennial Kingdom (Olam Haba).

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)

Vayakhel	Parasha #22	"And he assembled"
Readings: Exodus 35:1-38:20; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9:15; Hebrews 9:1-14; Revelation11:1-13.
“and he assembled” you to willfully give yourself to the Lord ..You are assembled to use of your gifts of the Holy Spirit and use your talents (tent-making skills) to serve in the kingdom. We are to look after one another and give to the needs of our brother. A Terumah offering of tithes given to the Lord is a heave offering that you let go of it and it is given cheerfully.
Lessons:
TORAH
Exodus 35:4-29 (KJV) …providing the Tabernacle materials. The Israelites were willful giving to construct the tabernacle, as offerings unto God, a House for Abba Father to dwell amongst His People so that His Glory can live amongst them. The people gave in abundance until the Lord’s cup runneth over.
Exodus 36:6-7 (KJV) And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing. For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
Today, by a “free-will” choice, we open our Temple to receive the living God.

HAFTORAH
Ezekiel 45:15-17 (KJV) Millennial sacrifices will be offered by a reinstated Levitical Priesthood to make reconciliation to the Lord for the House of Jacob. The shall be an eternal reminder pointing back to the cross on Calvary. They are to be offered by Yeshua Jesus as the ruling Lord and King over Israel. He shall be High Priest/ King of the Priesthood of Melchisedec. He shall offer the sacrifices of Leviticus. Verse. 17

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Hebrews 9:1-15 (KJV) The Tabernacle in wilderness was an Earthly shadows of heavenly things. Sacrificial offerings did not make the High Priest perfect in His conscience. Our conscience can be perfect through the Holy Spirit within believers. (Torah Written on Heart). For by Christ’s blood you are purged of dead works (sin under Torah). By Abba’s Grace & Mercy, available as a free gift, you are Justified, cleansed to see Abba’s Face. Christ gives Himself for us.. We are bought for a price to be in Him Holy and True.
Under Torah only the High Priest goes into the presence of Abba ..... but while the tabernacle (temple) existed, the Holy Spirit had not yet made a way for us into God’s Presence (Verse 8). Face to Face.
John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me .” Remez……Hebrews 10:11-20

2 Corinthians 9:6- 12 (KJV) Give to your brother. Give freely a Terumah offering for Lord’s work. Present yourself as Living sacrifice given unto the Lord.
2 Corinthians 8:5 (KJV) And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
By giving yea abound in the grace of giving. 2 Corinthians 8:7 (KJV) 7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.

Revelation 11:1-13 (KJV) Describes the temple of the antichrist. Note, in these dark days that Jerusalem, Abba’s City, is called “Sodom” and worldly. Who are the 2 witnesses? These 2 witnesses boldly proclaim the Word of God to a dark world for 1260 days (42 months).
The wicked, as servants of antichrist, give gifts to each other in joy and are rejoice in defiance of of God’s Word delivered by His prophets.

Matthew 24:3-14 (KJV) 3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you . 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many . 6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet . 7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places . 8 All these are the beginning of sorrows . 9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake . 10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another . 11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many . 12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold . 13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved . 14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come .

	Parasha #21	Ki Tissa “When you take”
Readings: Exodus 30:11-34:35; Ezekiel 36:16-24; 1 Corinthians 10:1-11:1; Luke 11:14-20; Acts 7:35-8:1; 2 Corinthians 3:1-18

Lessons:
When you take-on Abba’s Glory in Christ, you are no longer a child of the dark but a Child of the Light. Today’s reading contrasts children of light & children of darkness John 3:19-21 (KJV) 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 reproved . 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God .


Exodus 34:28-35 (KJV)
Moses brings the “Word of light” to the Israelites. The holiness of Moses was reflected as his Shekinah Glory. The righteous will radiate the same Shekinah Glory. The radiant nature of God’s Word is veiled to unbelievers and to some infant and baby Christians who need a mentor like Moses. The word of God is a light to my path.

Ezekiel 36:16-28 (KJV)
The Lord will not share his Glory with unrighteousness. House of Israel fell into idolatry and disobedience. They were a poor example of “His children” by their Halakhah. In His children, Abba puts His Spirit. If you let him, He will clean you of unrighteousness and will remove your heart of stone. Matthew 5:8 (KJV) Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God …Glory to glory

Introduction: Acts 6:8-15 (KJV)
Israelites are a rebellious lot …strife. Acts 6:15 (KJV) “And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.”

Acts 7:54-60 (KJV) .
Stephen’s reflects Abba’s Glory. Stephen saw the Glory of God

Luke 11:14-20 (KJV)
A divided House cannot stand. What does double-mindedness mean? Immature Christians tend to be double-minded. Are you with the Lord to gather the harvest or to scatter the fruits of His Kingdom?

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 (KJV)
Our struggle between light and darkness. “Our forefathers were all under the cloud” Under the cloud of the Shekinah Glory. Holy Spirit hovers over the creation since the foundations. Genesis 1:2b (KJV) And the Spirit of God moved* upon the face of the waters. (*brood, flutter, hover). We should not test the Lord.

2 Corinthians 3:3-18 (KJV)
New covenant gives Glory which lasts forever and an understanding of the veiled Torah. We need to know the Word of God. How do we find it? That curse on stone was done away to be written on our hearts (stony heart to heart of flesh by the Spirit). Torah is good, holy and true .. yet, Salvation is only in the Name of Yeshua Jesus.. By our heart/ mouth & fruits we reflect Abba’s Glory.

	Parasha # 20	Tetzaveh "You shall command”
Readings: Exodus 27:20-30:10, Ezekiel 43:10-27, Romans 12:1-13:4, Philippians 4:10-20.
Let each of us contribute to the Kingdom of God (Parasha #19). Abba is developing the Priesthood and preparing for His coming for His people. He is in these days re-gathering His Echad people. We approach the Father through the Son as a holy sweet aroma by loving one another as He loves us, as an echad people (Jew & Gentile as One). We are a set-apart people of the Priesthood of Melchisedec, who seek Abba’s Face by our anointing, Halachah, the giving ourselves as a living sacrifice, offering incense of prayer, and fasting.
The Tabernacle and Levitical Priesthood
Lessons:

Ezekiel 43:18—19 The Millennial Temple of Ezekiel 40 which Christ will build. The incense alter of our prayers are brought before the Father by our High Priest. Christ rules with “iron Hand” under Torah with Millennial Sacrifices…. Why?  Sacrifices in Millennial Temple:  Ezek. 40:38-43  Isa. 56:7, 66:20-23  Jer. 33:18  Zech. 14:16-21  Mal. 3:3-4

Exodus 30:1-10 The Altar of Incense
The Sacrifices were a pleasing aroma from vital organ fat, ram flesh as burnt offering, unleavened bread, oil, wafer, wine. Exodus 29:38-46 The Torah sacrifices were a temporary covering for sin, trespasses and fellowship offerings. They were the goods brought to Abba’s store house for the Levitical priesthood so the ox that laboreth is not muzzled.
Offerings for Priesthood Wave offering Heave offering Skin of animal Daily sacrifices Peace offering Burnt offering Trespass offering Sin offering 1 Peter 3:17-18 (KJV) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

Exodus 29:34-38 Making the incense.  Sweet spices, perfume, confection shall “be unto Me most Holy” Our prayers  Incense before the altar Psalm 141:2, Proverbs 15:8, Revelation 5:8 Exodus 37-25-29 Incense Altar Revelation 5:8 (KJV) And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.

Romans 12:1-21
Commit yourself as a living sacrifice. You are the echad body of Christ. Serve one another with your special gifts. This is how you are to do the will of our Father… Your Halcahah.. Remember: Your mouth reveals your Heart. You are the living Temple of God.. Keep it Holy and be perfect as your Father (Halachah).

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.

The Tabernacle, the Temple, the Priesthood, the Levitical services, the sacrifices, the Hebrew customs and Feast Days of the Lord all point to Christ. Abba’s Love, Grace, Mercy and Torah are all the backbone (building blocks) of the wisdom and purpose of God’s Eternal Unchanging Plan. They culminate in the New Covenant of Christ revealed. Purposefully, Yeshua’s death and Salvation was a hidden mystery to all Torah observant Jews and a mystery to OT prophets. As a mystery, He was revealed to all (the Jews, Gentiles, the watching angels and Satan), when John the Baptist proclaimed “Behold the Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world.” The New Covenant is Christ in us as we become the Body of Christ. The New Covenant is for all of “free-will” to become the redeemed humankind (Jew and Gentile) to have eternal Life. It is our inheritance to be with Our Father in the Olam Haba by Faith in Christ, The Messiah, Who is the only way to Salvation; otherwise, Christ’s death was in vain. Yes, the old Covenant(s) (Torah) took on flesh and that flesh became man and tabernacled amongst us as Son of God, Yeshua Jesus. Return to Index

	Parasha #19	Terumah “Heave offering”
Readings: Exodus 25:1-27:19; 1 Kings 5:12-6:13 Hebrews 8:1-9:5 Hebrews 9:23-24; Hebrews 10:1
A Terumah offering:…. Yes, Release everything unto the Lord. It is a "Heave offering" to give all of yourself to the Lord. 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.”
:
Lessons:
Yes, Release everything unto the Lord. We are to prepare ourselves to be part of Abba’s dwelling place! By the New Covenant’s Blood of Christ, we achieve righteousness to see the Father’s Face, being the dwelling or tabernacle for the fire by night and cloud by day. There is no Jew or Gentile, but both are One in Christ, as New Covenant (New Testament) removes the partition between the children of the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Exodus 25:1-9(KJV) In the physical, the trivial Israelite was preparing to build a Temple for his Awesome Creator God. Can you see a spiritual application? List the dwelling places of Abba. In the spiritual? Today, in the physical, at our JCIA building, we are preparing a dwelling place for His Spirit. Bring to the altar your skills, talents, resources to expand Abba’s kingdom. Don't forget your tithes and offerings for the Lord's storehouse.

Exodus 26:1-14(KJV) Don’t let architectural designs be boring to you. ..Abba’ Scriptures are for our learning. 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*)

1 Kings 6:1-13 (KJV) We are commanded to know lay-out of the Bet ha’Mikdash, the Temple. Where is this Temple today? (1 Cor. 3:16-17, 6:19-20) Where is Kingdom today? ( Luke17:20-21)
Where are the hidden rooms… How were they misused???

Hebrews 8:1-9:15 (KJV) We have a High Priest in the heavenly Holy Temple. The New Covenant is written for Jews in Book of Hebrews, where Paul who knews the heart of Jewish people, contrasts the Torah and it physical commands with the spiritual aspects of the Salvation Gospel of Christ. Hebrews is also a unique clarifying Gospel message to Gentiles. Hebrews is revealing the hidden Jesus of the OT and establishes the New Testament as the fulfillment of the OT… the goal of the OT.
Why would the adversary and some “Messianic” Hebrew groups want to take the Book of Hebrews out of the Bible??

Hebrews 9:22-27 (KJV) The Mishkan or Bet ha’Mikdash is an earthly house…. a shadow prophetic of what? We are cleansed by Christ’s sacrificial Blood. Christ is our High Priest, Who can freely enter Holy of Holies with the incense of our prayers in the golden laver.

Hebrews 10:1-7 (KJV) Only by the Blood of Christ over the door post of your heart can you be made perfect to see the Father.
Find the hidden Jesus in the Word and in the structural plab for the Mishkan and Bet ha’Mikdash.

	Parasha #18	Mishpatim "Judgments”
Readings: Exodus 21:--24:18; Jer. 33:25-26; 34:8-22; Matt. 5:38-42; 12:1-15; Romans 2:7-29; Mark 7:1-23; Acts 23:1-11; Heb. 9:15-22; 10:28-39

Lessons:
Yes, Torah literacy is important; yet, Jesus is 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.. Note: “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.” Col. 3:1(KJ V)
Prelude to today’s study: NT Salvation (SOZO) is our being covered by the Blood of Christ and is for both Jew and Gentile believers. Gentile God-fearers (as Jethro) become circumcised of the Heart when they are “born-again” into the Body of Christ and the doorpost of their heart is covered by the Blood of the Lamb for the death angel must pass over.. ABBA’s WORDS are harsh as they oppose our flesh man and cause the unrighteous to flee from them. Remember always: “If you love me keep my commandments"

Exodus 24:1-18 (KJV) Mosiac law: a mutual (bilateral), conditional covenant of blessings and curses “I will”..”if you” “we will do all words.” A blood covenant Moses and wrote all words of Lord (TORAH)

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!

Acts 23:1-3 (KJV) High Priest breaks law. No punishment is to occur before judgment. Deuteronomy 25:2 “then it shall be, if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge will cause him to lie down and be beaten in his presence, according to his guilt, with a certain number of blows.” John 7:51 (KJV) “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?” Today, a judgmental attitude is equally haughty.


Jeremiah 34:8-22 (KJV) An example of people breaking God's covenant. Can we ignore a covenant and not expect judgments? God is Just and True and has the final Word. Break the covenant law then you die but today there is liberty in Christ.


Hebrews 10:28 (KJV) Anyone who has rejected Moses’ law dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. NT Law of Liberty: We need to define the NT “Covenant of Liberty” whereby you are set free by Abba’s grace and mercy of the death penalty of breaking the covenant law. God is immutable so also is His Word (His covenants). When Paul says the law is dead, he means the death penalty has been replaced by the new covenant of Christ’s Blood. If we confess our sins and repent, we can again be in fellowship with Abba.
The covenant of liberty which has these component parts: Christ’s Blood is over doorpost of our heart. Death angel must pass over.. We are given a Circumcised Heart. Now Torah written on your Heart. No more legalistic law with death penalty. You serve a Personal God in love. You become the Temple of God. Holy Spirit dwells in your Temple within Ark of Covenant. Repent and confess your sins. A Salvation Gospel of Repentance and Halachah.

Romans 2:1-16 (KJV) The Law becomes written on the heart of the believer, Jew & Gentile believers. Holy Spirit dwells in Temple of your heart. The status of your heart is your ‘cockpit recorder’ as you stand in judgment.
Matthew 5:38-42 (KJV) New Covenant more strict !! 1050 laws in NT (spource: Dake’s Bible)

Hebrew 10:28-31 (KJV) Salvation assured??? Woe to him that despise Jesus’ Blood and His Agent, the Holy Spirit within you. Abba’s WORD is harsh.. guard your salvation.


Matthew 12:9-14 (KJV) Jesus heals on the Sabbath … repeatedly?? He is the Lord of the Sabbath. The Sabbath is our rehearsal time. The Sabbath is prophetic of Jesus' great Sabbath reign as King of kings & Lord of lords there will be restoration of the creation. …… Our great Sozo. What does Sozo mean?  To have Eternal salvation by Blood of Christ  To be preserved from evil  To be deliver from sin  To be cured of illness by His stripes  To be To be healed of a current affliction  To be Restored  To be made whole and well again  To be Recovered  To be Preserved  To remain in divine health  To Restore what the locus have taken

Fences were around law… Traditions of man. Mark 7:1-9 (KJV) Oral Torah Mishnah (written Torah)

Hebrews 9:11-22 (KJV) We receive the PROMISE given to Abraham. Christ fulfills in us the promised New Covenant given first to the House of Israel then lastly to the House of Judah (Jer.31:31-33). The Sacrifices of Torah all point to Christ. One sacrifice for all past, present and future sins of all humankind. New Covenant/New Testament is built on foundation stone of the Exodus Rock, the Branch, the cloud & Fire, manna, etc.

Lessons:
Is Abba a God of order or confusion. Is our life to be orderly or is “covered by the Blood” sufficient to sin freely?? Develop measurable responsibility and accountability using your fruits and gifts of Spirit .….be obedient…Accountable. Abba’s WORDS are harsh…drawing near to Him .. be face to Face by obedience for “If you love me keep my Commandments”
TORAH
Introduction (Exodus 18:1-5; 18:10-13) Exodus 13-24

Even Moses needed a mentor! Is this an example of the wisdom of an elder? Moses became a teacher/counselor/leader of an organized nation of Israel. His disciples were to be his agents in teaching Torah, counseling and judging at varying levels of complexity of the Israelite issues. He chose worthy godly men & taught them the accountability of Torah.. How to become righteous leaders.

Exodus 20:1-21 (KJV) describes The 10 Commandments, the spoken Word of God. Torah means instructions. God’s instructions to the chosen people and to us that we may continue in His Grace and Mercy.
HAFTORAH
Isaiah 6:1-10 (KJV)

Who is the angel? …. a Christophany? What is meant be unclean lips? The worse offender is your evil tongue. …. “Lashan hara.” Gossip kills your brother. Put soap in your mouth; sear your mouth with a live ember, a glowing coal. (James 3:2-10 (KJV; Matthew 15:11 (KJV)
NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 7:10-12 (KJV)

The law defines sin as lawlessness. A moral code would remain undefined without the law and Jesus’ instructions on the mount. Hence, by law I die as it defines sin. Sin deceives us unto an eternal death as Satan desires your soul. The law is good, holy true “If you love me keep my commandments.
Matthew 19: 17-48 (KJV)
Be obedient to Torah as hatred in your heart such as anger, resentment and unforgiveness kills you. Thoughtless oaths, divorce, retaliation, dwelling on your enemies are sins. (Matthew 5:48 “be perfect as your Heavenly Father”)

How do we handle sin under the Blood of Christ? How do we stay near to Abba and in close fellowship? Distance not yourself from our Creator father. 1 John 1:9-10 (KJV) “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.”

Hebrews 12:18-29 (KJV)
An awesome God! Whose word can shake things and remove them. But you, be steadfast, fear the Lord, and receive a Kingdom in Heaven that is unshakeable. Keep your life Christ-centered. Keep the horizon clear of things of this world. (John 14:6-7). What is our Goal. … the purpose of our life? Two choices: eternal life or eternal death? Salvation is a Personal relationship with a Personable God.

1 Peter 2:9-10 (KJV)
Who is the Royal Priesthood? Jethro was not a people but now is through Christ, Who brings salvation to the Gentiles. Yes, we are the grafted branches of the olive tree which brings us into the Commonwealth of Israel as Kings and Priests of a non-Levitical priesthood.

TORAH

Exodus 14:13-31 ...Crossing the Red sea

Prophetic of Satan’s Wrath on the world and Abba’s wrath on Egyptians (world).The might works of Abba Father are to His Glory. Praise the Lord. These OT Hebrews are acting out the prophecy of the end time re-gathering when the righteous “chosen” will separate from the wicked.… This newly established Hebrew nation is a mixed multitude as is the grafted “olive tree.” Jew and Gentile are the redeemed House of Jacob. A picture of end times, the time of Jacob troubles, the seventh week of Daniel, the Greater Exodus of a “left behind” mixed multitude of unredeemed House of Jacob. Seeking manna and water of eternal life in darkness. Abba provides under His tallet!

Psalm 135:7-10 (KJV)

He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries. 8 Who smote the firstborn of Egypt, both of man and beast. 9 Who sent tokens and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants. 10 Who smote great nations, and slew mighty kings;

Psalm 136:1-10 (KJV)

O give thanks unto the LORD; for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 O give thanks unto the God of gods: for his mercy endureth for ever. 3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever. 4 To him who alone doeth great wonders: for his mercy endureth for ever. 5 To him that by wisdom made the heavens: for his mercy endureth for ever. 6 To him that stretched out the earth above the waters: for his mercy endureth for ever. 7 To him that made great lights: for his mercy endureth for ever: 8 The sun to rule by day: for his mercy endureth for ever: 9 The moon and stars to rule by night: for his mercy endureth for ever. 10 To him that smote Egypt in their firstborn: for his mercy endureth for ever:

Dudimose was the Pharaoh of the Exodus in 1447 BC. Reference: David M. Rohl Pharaohs and Kings chapter 13 the Exodus

Exodus 16:21--27 (KJV) our sustenance: manna …..Christ

Prophetic lesson.. Bread of life is Who?
Can someone else gather your manna? Salvation is a personal relationship with a personal God.

How do we satisfy our hunger & thirst.

Hunger of the flesh
Hunger of the spirit

Yeshua Jesus' food gives Eternal life …. Olam Haba.The Word of God .. His Holy Scriptures is our sustenance. While Jesus is away at the Right Hand of the Father, we are to comfort one another and hold stead fast to his Torah.

Colossians 3:16-17 (KJV) Hence “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.”

John 6:51 (KJV) “I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

John 6:53-58 (KJV) Then Jesus said unto them, “Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me. This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.”

Romans. 6:5—14 (KJV)

Our eternal sustenance is in Christ resurrected. We live to be in His image. “Old man” dead to sin.
Yes, we are to be dead to sin !!! What is your Halachah (walk)? Is it pleasing to Abba Father?

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 (KJV)

We are Israel by grafting and our fathers passed under the cloud and sea.
We all eat the same spiritual food. What happens aforetime is for our learning.
Flee idolatry and fornication.

2 Corinthians 8:8-15 (KJV)

Share your provisions. How does God work?

Revelation 15:1- 4 (KJV)

God’s Wrath completed as in Egypt! He brings in the Kingdom. Victorious rejoicing. Bring Praise, Worship and Glory to His Name.

Come out of the world my people! .. Come to Me for I, Yeshua Jesus, came to die for your sins and defeat death that you might live. Today we are starving to death in the midst of plenty! ...everyone has access to a Bible yet where are the Faithful in Christ.
Amos 8:11-12 (KJV) Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD, and shall not find it.
2 Timothy 4:3-4 (KJV) For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

TORAH
Exodus 11:1-10 (KJV) Theme: What is Prophetic of Firstborn? Pointing to a greater ransom, a Redeemer? Pointing to the Blood that covers the doorpost of our heart?

Exodus 12:1-14 (KJV
Exodus 12:45-46 (KJV) The Blood of Christ only covers believers. Yet, salvation is a gift available to all persons of free-will. Passage is prophetic of Christ… nor shall you break one of its bones. Torah is a primer / a schoolmarm that leads you to Christ. Christ brings salvation by a better Covenant, the NT. In exile, unbelievers are separated from Abba Father and live under the curses of Torah as no man or woman is righteous in themselves. We need a Redeemer.

HAFTORAH
Jeremiah 46:19—28 (KJV) Judgment Pharaoh & gods (v. 25-26) by great nation from north (Ezek 38:15) .........by Nebuchadnezzar.. Prophetic of "the last days" when the nations of the world will pierce Israel.
Forty years of desolation is yet future for Egypt (for this prophecy read Ezekiel 29:7-12).
Prophetically, the great army from north is Magog led by Gog. Egypt was to be a part of the Gog/ Magog invasion (Iran, Ethiopia, Africa, Libya, Baltic Russian Republics, Turkey). All these are Islamic Moslem allies with Russia against Israel. The Assyrian is “Gog” the Russia leader Ezek38:1-6

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 19:31-37 (KJV) They pierced His side but did not break His bones as was their custom! v. 37 yet future. Baruch Haba B’shem Adonai **Deuteronomy 21:22-23 Zechariah 12:10 (KJV) 10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.


Luke 2:22-24 (KJV) Firstborn consecrated to Lord….. Recall Jacob’s blessing of firstborn. Joseph get the double portion as Jacob adopts and blesses his sons as both sons become equal amongst the tribes of Israel. Birthright transferred to Ephraim, the younger grandson.
Where does the Lord place Ephraim? Jeremiah 31:9 (KJV) For I am a Father to Israel, And Ephraim is My firstborn.

Are we Firstborn? Hebrews 12:22-24 (KJV) 22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn (Body of Christ), which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

Matthew 27:45-54 (KJV) ..Now from the sixth hour until the ninth hour there was darkness over all the land. And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, “Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani ?” that is, “ My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”
Christ abandoned by Father for Him to suffer as man. (Son of Man) Yes an innocent man died on the Cross at Calvary. Note: darkness……from noon to sunset. When light is removed darkness prevails.
Yeshua Jesus was Passover Lamb that year! Not a bone was broken. (Isaiah 53:3-12) ....Messianic overtones??

Exodus 6:1—9; 7:1—6 (KJV) What about 7 verse 1 Moses was “like God to the Pharaoh.” They were Abba’s agents? Who are Yeshua Jesus’ agents? You are Jesus’ Agent for Ministry of Reconciliation.
Agent (sokhen) .. From Jewish law of Agency (Ned. 72b; Kidd. 41b) “ A 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 are agents as Moses, the Kohen Gadol (High Priest), Yeshua Jesus,and The Ruach HaKodesh …….. And .. You in-Christ are agents (sokhen) of the New Covenant Gospel of Yeshua Jesus by the Great Commission. The harvest is ready but the workers are few !!!

Exodus 7:14-9:35 (KJV) What did you think of the Plaques? How are they prophetic shadows?
Ezekiel 29:1-6 (KJV) Who was the force (agent) behind Pharaoh? Can Satan influence our lives? (Luke 22:3, John 13:2).

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Romans 9:14-29 (KJV) Are all vessels equal? We are ultimately given two choices: eternity with our Creator Father or the Lake of Fire. … Abba knows us since the foundations of creation and knows our final destination.

2 Timothy 2:20-26 (KJV) Be worthy agents as a vessel that holds water.
2 Timothy 2:20-21 (KJV) 20 But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour. 21 If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work.

Revelation 6:1-17 (KJV) Note, the wrath of the Lamb and martyred Saints are here at beginning of tribulations with opening of the seals. Sorry, folks no Mid-Post-tribulation rapture or Pre-wrath rapture. His Wrath is at the time of this Russian/ Islamic / Israel conflict. Ezekiel 38:18-20 (KJV) And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face. 19 For in my jealousy and in the fire of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel; 20 So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.

2 Corinthians 6:14—7:1 (KJV) Your call choose today whom you will serve (Joshua 24:14-15)

2 Peter 2:19 (KJV) While they (False teachers) promise them (you) liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of (by) the same is he brought in bondage.

If you sojourn, fellowship or study with a deceiver, unbeliever or skeptic you shall become like them !!!! ..You shall be deceived just as they are !!! You become like the master you serve. We worthy agents, vessels to serve getting your treasures in heaven. First, serve the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Ezekiel 37:15-28 (JKV) Since the foundations of the creation, Abba’s Plan for our reconciliation to Himself has frustrated Satan’s desire for conquest to humankind. By two witnesses, He achieves superiority and validates His Truth. His Word at Mt. Sinai and His Good News Gospel of Salvation to the World, bringing in the fullness of Gentiles, has been His testimony to us. Likewise, by two witnesses, He divided the Camp of Jacob by separating them into two groups then reuniting them as one (Redeemed House of Jacob) so that the sum of the creation has no excuse not to be one (echad) with the Father, through the Blood of Christ.
The monarchy of Israel separated into two kingdoms (Ephraim and Judah) which after dispersion will be reunited as the One New Man in Christ (the Redeemed House of Jacob). Ephraim vanished and was assimilated as a Melohagoyim. The 2 dispersed houses are the two sticks becoming onestick (echad) as Ephraim and Judah united as prophesized in Ezekiel 37.
Ephraim is Northern Kingdom, House of Israel, House of Joseph, “lost 10 tribes” (actually the "lost 12 tribes" due to intermingling at the time of Jeroboam.).. Ephraim was completely assimilated into Gentile world, only now in these days, to be rediscovered first as the Sephardim.
Judah is Southern Kingdom, House of Judah, tribes of Judah ,Benjamin and Levi and are are part of the assimilation into Gentiles as over 98% of the Jews stayed in Babylon. Those that returned from Babylon to repopulate Judea eventually in 70 AD became the "wandering Jew" with out a homeland until 14 May 1948.

Jacob in the flesh vs. Jacob in the Spirit.
When and how does Abba bring about the re-gathering.
Hosea 1:10-11 (KJV) Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered; and it shall come to pass, that in the place where it was said unto them, Ye are not my people, there it shall be said unto them, Ye are the sons of the living God. 11 Then shall the children of Judah and the children of Israel be gathered together, and appoint themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land: for great shall be the day of Jezreel. (re-gathering as One New Man)
Ezekiel 37:15-22 (KJV) 15 The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying, 16 Moreover, thou son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions: then take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel his companions: 17 And join them one to another into one stick; and they shall become one in thine hand. 18 And when the children of thy people shall speak unto thee, saying, Wilt thou not shew us what thou meanest by these? 19 Say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel his fellows, and will put them with him, even with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in mine hand. 20 And the sticks whereon thou writest shall be in thine hand before their eyes. 21 And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather them on every side, and bring them into their own land: 22 And I will make them one nation in the land upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king to them all: and they shall be no more two nations, neither shall they be divided into two kingdoms any more at all:

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Acts 7:9-16 (KJV)
Steven’ summery of Israel's relationship to the Messiah Yeshua Jesus. He describes how the Patriarchs sell their brother to Egypt, the world. Joseph plays-out the prophetic plan of re-gathering the nation of Israel. It takes 2 visits of brothers before revealed…?? (2 comings of Christ)
What is the size of Jacob's family that went into Egypt as a family to leave as a nation..... Was it 70 (Gen. 46:27; Deu. 10:22) or 75 ???? 0f the loin of Jacob from Canaan =66 members (66 + Jacob, Joseph ,his wife and 2 children =70) but yet 75 came with Jacob (66 of loin + 9 wives of patriarchs= 75)

Revelation 12:1-6 (KV) How are you going to handle this prophecy?
Yeshua Jesus was resurrected from dead to be the first of those who have died to be resurrected to the Father Christ was not Raptured. He died for our sins. The Holy Spirit raised Him from dead. He ascended to heaven in a new glorified body to sit as God at the right Hand of the Father to act as our High Priest and Intercessor for the Body of Christ. In the Church, which is the Body of Christ, the living will be raptured and dead in Christ will be resurrected in an instant at the beginning of "the last days". check 12:5 Her child child was “caught-up” SG# 726……harpazo (Raptured in English) and corresponds to Genesis description of Enoch being taken (SH# 3947 laqach) which means to take, catch-up,translate, fetch, snatch, or marry. Likewise, Elijah was taken (SH# 3947 laqach). Are we speaking of the Body of Christ as the child as Jesus was resurrectered from the dead as described in the Greek as .. anastasis (SG# 385) or exanastasis (SG#1815)

Readings: Genesis 32:4-36:43; Hosea 11:7-12:11; Hebrews 11:1-40; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; Revelation 7:1-12.
By our Halachah (walk) we remain in close fellowship with Abba as we maintain this personal relationship with Abba through Yeshua Jesus. We are to be a light to a dark world.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 32:6-12 and Genesis 33:1-2 (KJV)
When you expect the enemy to attack what preparation do you take and how do you divide the camp?

Genesis 32:22-32 Struggling with the angel of the Lord did change Jacob’s life. He goes from Jacob in flesh to Israel in Spirit. Do we wrestle with God and have scars from sins on the flesh of the old man who the new man must bear? By your Halachah (walk) you project your relationship with Christ. If you are not firmly grounded in God’s Word, you will be bombarded with an assortment of doctrines, lifestyles, behaviors, and schemes and you will have no means to evaluate whether or not they are from God. Allow the Word of God to permeate, guide and enrich your life. We are accountable to our Creator. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.
Jacob was "sent out" as a new man, Israel, whose Halachah (walk) was changes as physically evident as a man with a limp. (humor of Holy Spirit).
Do we struggling with God and is it of avail? Why trials and tribulations?

HAFTORAH
Hosea 11:1-12 (KJV) Discuss Ephraim and his role in the world of the adversary. Abba hides mysteries to protect his "called-out" ones who will be the vessels for the New covenant of Jeremiah 31:33.
Ephraim leaves the land of Israel to become a part of the world (Egypt). Now they become prey to a worse enemy, becoming an apostate people just as Sodom and Gomorrah was punished for fornication. Ephraim's sin was disobedience to Torah and whoring after idols. God’s plan is reconciliation of a sanctified, echad, people to Himself. His plan is purposeful and on schedule. We have seen the re-gathering of the House of Judah but Ephraim is Abba’s Firstborn (Jer. 31:-9) . When will all of the olive tree be united with it's grafted gentile Christianity branches and a return of the natural Jewish branches . He, who is first (his own rejected Him) will be last (Jew) to know Yeshua Jesus and He who is last (Gentile Christianity) are the first (“lost sheep & not of fold”) to know Jesus as a personal Savior and inherit the kingdom.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
2 Timothy 2:15-17 (KJV) If you are not firmly grounded in God’s Word, you will be bombarded with an assortment of doctrines, lifestyles, behaviors, and schemes and you will have no means to evaluate whether or not they are from God. Allow the Word of God to permeate, guide and enrich your life. We are accountable to our Creator.
Draw near to God and he will draw near to you.

Hebrew 11:13-16 (KJV) Put away sin stay Christ-centered

1 Corinthians 5:6-8 (KJV) Like Jacob you must choose between sins of the flesh & spiritual morality. To sin according to the “law” has a death penalty. We are to put away all “old leaven” and be a Spirit-filled, changed person, a “new Creation”…. pride will be your downfall. Put away all your idols …stay Christ-centered & keep a clear horizon … Be a “new man” *Col. 3:8-11

Israelites sealed by God
Revelation 7:1-8 (KJV) The 144, 000 Israelites come from all of 12 tribes. They are redeemed by the Blood of the Lamb and sealed as servants with the Father’s name on their forehead. They representing the Firstfruit unto Abba and unto the Lamb of the wheat harvest of redeemed House of Jacob.
The Book of Revelation portrays two theaters of events occurring simultaneously. – Heaven: Coronation, wedding, wrath on Earth with judgments – Earth: Antichrist revealed , Tribulations pains and Great Tribulations
The 14,000 witnesses of the Gospel of Jesus Christ are "sent" to walk as light in a darken world of evil and unbelief.

Readings: Genesis 28:10-32:3;Hosea 12:12-14:9; John 1:19-51.
Today's overview is to gain insight as to our Judeo-Christian destinies to become that One New Man.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 28:10-22 (KJV) Jacob “went out” From Bethel to work for Laban.
Let us examine Jacob's two wives as to their prophetic implications.
Leah		Rachel
Means… weary, tired Unloved, “hated” 1st wife Eldest “Poor vision” Veiled Covenant Marriage (works.. OT ) Inheritance through Judah Spiritually barren Married but separated Fruitful early First ..last into Kingdom Metaphor The Jew		Means … sheep Beloved 2nd wife Wife of youth Youngest wife Covet idols Idolatry was downfall Fruitful late in life Covenant Marriage (spiritual echad ..NT) Inheritance as Joseph Prophecy through Joseph to bring Gospel to Gentiles (spiritually fruitful) Fruitful later Last ..first in Kingdom Metaphor Gentile Christianity
Genesis 31:4-21(KJV) Jacob “went out” of Haran fleeing from Laban.
Examine how Abba plan is focusing on a family. Can you see the prophetic and hidden insights?
From one man's loins (Abraham) "went out" 2 witnesses, Isaac and Jacob, testifying of the Creator God. Likewise, Jacob's son form two Houses as two witnesses who have two destinies but are to reunite into one millennial Kingdom as One New Man).

HAFTORAH
Hosea 12:1-14 (KJV) Northern Kingdom “went out” into captivity. Ephraim provoked Abba to anger most bitterly. Pride is root of all evil. Abba considers thoughtless sacrifices as worthless. Ephraim will leave (cloud, mist, chaff, smoke) to exile, scattered and dispersed.
Today Ephraim is vapor, vanished to all except Holy Spirit.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
John 1:19-34 (KJV) Examine the signs of the time when Christ came. Isaiah 53:2 (KJV) and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground.
Both, John the Baptist and Yeshua Jesus, “went out.”

As Israelites you are a mystery to Satan! Ephesians 1:4-6 (KJV) 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: 5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.
This mystery is shown only in Tanach as two different people, who have "went out" to serve Abba, having a common beginning and returning to the as the redeemed One New Man.

Why is this plan of God veiled? Yes, Abba hides knowledge and wisdom from the nonbeliever and naive.
Things are hidden from even the wise if they walk in spiritual darkness as they lack the Spirit of Truth. Yet, an innocent, trusting child with an imagination may understand the Biblical mysteries .

Readings: Genesis 25:19-28:9; Malachi 1:1-2:7; Romans 9:1-10:21; Hebrews 11:20, 12:14-17.
Consider you future!! Genealogy gives you only a vessel for your flesh man. Only through Christ will you understand being Children of the Promise which makes you heirs of Christ and of the New Jerusalem.
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 25:19-34 (KJV) Discussion: Inheritance of first-born Double portion Leadership of family Esau forfeited birthright. We in-Christ are heirs of Abba. Abba Father knows beginning from end (Election, predestine) Speaks of the Foreknowledge of God
Isaac’s Blessing his two Sons: Genesis 27:25-40 (KJV)
Whom are the wives of Esau as they will determine the genealogy of Esau? What does Issac think of Esau’s wires. Genesis 28:6-9 (KJV)

HAFTORAH
What does Abba think of someone who sells his birthright? Malachi 1:1-4 (KJV)

New Testament (Brit Chadasha)
Who is the potter and who is the Clay?
Romans 9:1-33 (KJV)
Paul laments over those Jews whom don’t have Christ. If Esau was to be evil and hated by Abba…Why did he create Esau in the first place? When does the vessel made by the potter become a leaky or a broken cistern?
Your fate is according to your free choice of living in the flesh or as a new Creation in the Spirit. Despite the outcome, your vessel is created and subject to your will… free-choice is given of God. Even though Abba, since the foundations, knows all vessels of righteousness and those for destruction!
Abba desires that none be lost but that all come to salvation.
Abba Father will use you for your tent-making skills. Be they good or bad. But even the hopelessly lost can be saved… just call on Yeshua Jesus any time but sooner than later.

Hebrews 11:20 (KJV) We need act by faith not knowing God’s foreknowledge of our predestine plan. Keep your assumptions of yourself humble for such as they will inherit the kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 5:3)
Matthew 5:3 (KJV) Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven .
Hebrews 12:14-17 (KJV) Pursue peace with all people

A fatal step is to forfeit your birthright. Don't blasphemy the Holy Spirit

. And Sarah’s life was to continue “the seed of the woman” through Isaac’s Bride so that the dying Patriarch Abraham would have children of the Promise, providing an heir to sit on the throne of King David. Today’s Message. How does I AM interact with His Creation? Watch for His convincing work around you. Observe how the LORD comes into you or your family’s or a friend’s life. How did He come into Sarah’s life? Abba Father does special work in the lives of His Children. Can you sense the presence of the Ruach haKodesh (The Holy Spirit) in your life? What is your part in His eternal plan? What are your tent-making skills and how do they fit into the Great Commission? Walk the walk and talk the talk for by your fruits for that is how we know you are the Bride

Lessons:
TORAH
Abraham seeks a Bride for his Son. How does another Father find His Son a Bride? Does any of this apply to fallen man’ children (Adam) whom restored by living water ... the Holy Spirit in us for believers in Christ Jesus.
Genesis 24:5-67 (KJV) Sarah is the mother of the Promise. Elieazer (meaning Comforter) is sent to search out a Bride for Isaac. Rebekah is chosen from amongst a select (chosen) people.

A New Beginning for Patriarchs which is renewed with each generation until Messiah Yeshua Jesus.
What in this in this Tanach reading pointing to in the New Testament revealed?
Abraham (Father) sends an agent, Eleazer (Holy Spirit), to find that select individual, as an chosen-aforetime vessel, as the Bride for Isaac (Yeshua Jesus). Eleazer finds her qualified by a well. She agrees to marry the Bridegroom who is unseen but agrees by Faith. Eleazer gives her gifts ( we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit when we agree to accept Yeshua Jesus as our personal Savior). She is carried by 10 camels to the Bridegroom (10 commandments) to join Him at the well of Lahai-Roi (means “the well of living water” or “ Living one”). Note, that for 2 chapters (2000 years) Isaac has been edited out of the Genesis text since being offered as a sacrifice on Mt. Mariah.

Satan has tried to interrupt the genealogies of heirs to the Kingdom leading to Messiah Jesus but Satan does not understand the mysteries of the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 2:7-8 (KJV) But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 8 Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.


HAFTORAH
1 Kings 1: 28-39 (KJV) Israel must secure the Kingdom with an heir; King David anoints his Son, Solomon as King.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
During Yeshua Jesus ministry did He evangelize Gentiles unto Himself as believers? Yes,. . a community of Gentiles believers even before a Messianic Jewish movement???
When?? Read the Samaritan woman
John 4:3-26 (KJV) What are the prophetic elements of the reading? “living water” ..... Water is symbolic or a metaphor of what? What kind-of worship is Yeshua Jesus talking about? Did Yeshua Jesus ever claim to be the awaited Messiah? The “anointed one”, The Meshiacah, The Christos, the Christ What is the meat (meal) of Yeshua and our commission?

Isaac’s Bride come from kinsfolks! .. But what was Abba’s Plan for His Son’s Bride? To what people(s) did the Father send Jesus? Matthew 15:21-28 (KJV) Salvation to those who have faith. Romans 1:16 (KJV) What does Paul say? “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. John 1:11 (KJV) 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. Did Yeshua Jesus hol his own accountable for not receiving Him?
Luke 19:41-44 (KJV) And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, 42 Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace ! but now they are hid from thine eyes . 43 For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side , 44 And shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation.

What was problem with Jews? They were commissioned to bring deliverance to all. Exodus 19:6 (KJV) “And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation.” Their spiritual failure lead to whoring aftyer other gods and Torahn disobedience. What was Abba’s judgment? Deuteronomy 4:27 (KJV) And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.
Did Abba Change his Plan? No, any changes in Abba’s plan are with foreknowledge of beginning from the end. Abba Father can reach in and touch our lives anytime. He hears and answers prayers.

Matthew 27:3-10 (KJV) Once again, Satan, who entered Judas, sets-up Christ’s death by Roman crucification, the worse of human torture at that time. Yet even Judas admits he shed Innocent Blood.
Luke 9:57-62 (KJV) God’s Kingdom must be first.

Vayera	Parasha #4	"And He appeared"

Issues to consider today.
WHY did Jesus appear? Salvation is by Faith, you cannot be justified by the law. WHEN was timing suitable? Did the Jews Know their scriptures? Yes, but the baby went out with bath water! Were they expecting a suffering Messiah? Yeshua Jesus was announced to the world as “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”…OT Tanach is revealed in NT. Abba’s Plan was that God, Himself, should die that mankind might life eternally with Him..
Lessons:
TORAH
Genesis 21:1-7 (KJV) ….. Birth of Isaac
Genenesis 22:1-19 (KJV) … Isaac a sacrifice was Prophetic. Isaac was the Promise of the Father to Abraham and to us a suffering Messiah. Note: symbolic representation, parable presentation, similitude of yet future sacrifice, and prophecy pointing to Yeshua Jesus

HAFTORAH
2 Kings 4:8-20; 4:29-37 (KJV) In OT Tanach: Can dead be raised? Barren woman given a son who dies (type of Isaac) but yet lives. Resurrection of dead. Now the rest of story 2 Kings 8:1-6 (KJV)

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
Isaac a sacrifice ….Prophetic of Yeshua Jesus who will be revealed in the NT.
Faith saves Isaac … “God will provide”
Genesis 22:8 (KJV) And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.

Another begotten son is raised from dead by Holy Spirit
Hebrews 11:17-19 (KJV) That in Isaac shall thy seed be called:

Romans 9:6-9 (KJV) Abba will provide HIMSELF How do we come to Salvation? Under law of Moses or Under Abraham’s Promise from Torah of a Messiah, a Kinsman's Redeemer.
Hear…Shema.. Faith comes by Hearing and Hearing by the Word of God. (Rom. 10:17) You hear the Word of God and desire a personal relationship Christ is goal of Torah and we can become one in Christ, His Body and Bride if we remain clean in white linen.

Galatians 4:1-9 (KJV) all are equal: Geek=Jew; Man= woman; Slave= Free
Galatians 4:21-31 (KJV) 2 covenants (2 Sons)= (OT & NT) Children of Hagar or Sarah ?  Slave= bondage to sin as defined by the law  Free = liberty in Christ, Salvation to eternal life assured.
Romans 8:17 (KJV) And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
Children : of bondage or liberty in Christ ?

New Testament takes Promise of the Father one step further as Abba’s Plan of redemption is revealed. .....Christ in You. How?
Acts 1:4-5 (KJV) And, being assembled together with them, (Jesus) commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he , ye have heard of me . 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence .

When Christ appeared, we (Believers) became Sons of New Jerusalem (Promise) who are given Salvation as a free gift by the Mercy & Grace of Father as we walk in living Faith from day to day.
Halachah is our Walk each day obedient to the Lord. ..walk the walk ..talk the talk ....... Walk the walk .. talk the talk…Halachah
James 2:21-24 (KJV) Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.

Ephesians 4:30-32 (KJV) And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
Isaiah 43:25 (KJV) ...Justification in Tanach I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake, and will not remember thy sins.

John 20:29 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

A cursed earth -Noah .. Wickedness and fornication amongst humankind as Satan tampers with human genome. World wide flood. A remnant is preserved. -Sodom/ Gomorrah.. Homosexuality, fornication are the lust of the people ..Judgment with fire & brimstone…. These plains cities are to never to be seen.

Genesis 6:1-2 (KJV) “And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of God (ben Elohim) saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.”
Business as usual then from Mt Herman came visitors.

What are these forces of evil doing? Who were the daughters of man? Are they Daughters of Cain? …. or Daughters of Adam. The Sethite theory proposes that the sons of Adam married the daughters of Cain and had genetic mutant offspring?? This theory had its origin in 5th Century and prevailed into the Middle Ages and into the seminary schools of today.
It is evident that religious theologians don’t understand breeding within the species.

What are these forces of evil doing amongst man? Having children??? Very unusual??
Genesis 6:4 (KJV) There were Nehilim 5872 נְפִילִים ( nephilim ): (in Greek “Giants”) in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
This is bizarre for human mating but not for demonic entities and alien life forms to produce abnormal offspring! Is this not Satan’s quest today with genetic manipulation of the human genome. Nehilim in Hebrew means the “fallen ones” from root naphal “ to cast down, to fall down.”
Who then were these “sons of God.” Were they humans? Were they fallen angels ? Angels can take on human form but can they reproduce with man & animals? Angels are Ben Elohim. See Job 38:7 (KJV) “When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God (ben Elohim) shouted for joy?” (note Hebrew Parallelism ) see also Job 1:6: Job 2:1: Genesis 6:2: and Genesis 6:4.

Sons of God as humans are found in the New Testament as Teknon Theos. John 1:11-12 (KJV)* “11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him (Jesus), to them gave he power to become the sons of God*, even to them that believe on his name:”
The Tanach usage of Sons of God are as angels until after the Cross when in-Christ, we become the Sons of God.

We will present how the fallen angels were able to reproduce and give rise to offspring of the Nephelim.

Genesis 6:11-13(KJV) Was all flesh evil in eyes of Lord?....... even animals ??? Why genetic manipulation of animals?
Genesis 6:9 (KJV) These are the generations (toladsh) of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations **, and Noah walked with God.

Daniel 2:43 (KJV) Satan’s seed is to mingle as miry clay with seed of woman!...?? More Nehilim ??

HAFTORAH
Isaiah 54:16-17 (KJV) …Good became evil. Signs of that end time.

NEW TESTAMENT (BRIT CHADASHA)
1 Peter 3:8-17 (KJV) the eye of the Lord is on the righteous.

Acts 2:14-18 (KJV) The righteous will know.

Matthew 24:3-8 (KJV) Satan and Satan's seed will have their day during the darkness of the 7 years of Tribulation.

2 Peter 2:1-3 (KJV) False prophets are men with head knowledge but have heart of stone as they lack the truth of the Holy Spirit. Jesus will say unto these apostate believers whom fall into deception “I never knew you” (Matthew 7:21-23 (KJV).

Luke 17:26-30 (KJV) Like days of Noah.

KNOW THE SIGNS OF THE TIME.... LOOK UPWARD YOUR REDEMPTION DRAWS NEIGH.

	Parasha #1	Bereisheet "In the beginning"
Readings: Genesis 1:1-6:8; Isaiah 42:5-43:10; John 1:1-18; Romans 5:12-21; Matthew 19:3-9; 1 Corinthians 6:15-20; Ephesians 5:21-32; Colossians 1:14-17; 1 Timothy 2:11-15; Hebrews 1:1-3; 11:1-7; 2 Peter 3:3-14.
Bereisheet =Beh-ray-sheet= In the beginning created He.
Lessons:
Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
God (Elohim) create (bara ) by His Word (Debar), using the Hebrew alphabet, the Heaven and Earth. Eli is God; Elohim is pleural God = Godhead or God the Father; God the Son; God the Holy Spirit = Trinity
Who are the Elohim (Gen 1:1)? John1:1-3; Col. 1:15-17; Proverbs 8:22-31. Where was the Trinity at creation? And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters (Gen.1:2) We are in whose image (Gen. 1: 26)? Hebrews 1:2-4 (KJV) 2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

Bara means to create. DBLSD #1343 I. בָּרָא ( bara): verb create , i.e., make something that has not been in existence before; be created; make , form or fashion something out of elements that exist (or nonsexistant); bring about; perform a task, with an emphasis on the uniqueness of the event; causes something to happen.
Hebrews 11:1-3 (KJV) Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 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.

Abba' ways are perfect...Jesus said “be perfect as is My Father.” Is not all Abba's spoken words perfect? Can God create imperfections???
Psalm 33:6-9 (KJV) By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth. 7 He gathereth the waters of the sea together as an heap: he layeth up the depth in storehouses. 8 Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him. 9 For he spake, and it was done; he commanded, and it stood fast.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 (KJV) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
2 Samuel 22:31 (KJV) As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. Deuteronomy 32:4 (KJV) He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.

Genesis 1:1-2 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. …GAP… 2 And the earth was (hayah; come to past, to become, transitional became) or reads the earth became without form and void. Yes, a creation Gap…and is it related to the darkness that came upon the creation.
After the creation gap, confusion comes upon the earth. Our God is not a God of confusion ..So what’s happening?? Genesis 1:2 And the earth became (hayah) without form (tohu; a wilderness, of nought, nothing, empty place, a waste, confusion).

Darkness is a metaphor of evil.
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. He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. 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.
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 reproved . 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God .

Isaiah 45:7 (KJV) 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
….How did the Abba Father create darkness and evil? One of his created beings became very evil…Lucifer…
 Created Perfect (Ezekiel 28:15 Col. 1:16)  Anointed cherub (Ezek. 28:14-19)  Angel of Light (2 Cor. 11:14)  Fallen morning star (Isa.14:12-15; Luke 10:18)  Serpent/leviathan (Ps. 104:25-26)  Prince/ruler Earth (Luke 4:5-6; Eph. 2:1-5 2 Cor. 4:1-4; Eph. 6:10-12)  Roaring lion (1 Peter 5:8-9)  Take captive (2 Tim. 2:22-26)  Enter you (John 13:26-27)

Genesis 1:1-5 (KJV) In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 …GAP… And the earth became (hayah) without form (tohu) and void (bohu). By 2 witnesses God confirms a fallen destroyed and perished earth (ie. emptiness, a void, waste…X2) and darkness was upon the face of the deep (tehown; primeval sea, abyss, Sheol). 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day (Yom).
A Long and very difficult first day that terminated in a Hebrew evening.
Described by Jeremiah: Jeremiah 4:23 (KJV) 23 I beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form, and void; and the heavens, and they had no light.
Described by Peter: 2 Peter 3:5-7 (KJV) 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.

John 1:1-13 (KJV) says it all ! In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. 6 There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7 The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe. 8 He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light. 9 That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world. 10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not. 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
