The events described in this Torah portion are connected to the feast of
Sukkot. This will be the first appointment we have with YHVH in the millennial
kingdom. The following prophecy will
describe the truth of this returning remnant:
Isa 60:1 “Arise,
shine, for your light has come! And the esteem of יהוה has risen upon you. Isa 60:2
“For look, darkness covers the earth, and thick darkness the peoples.
But יהוה arises over you, and His esteem is seen
upon you.
Isa
60:3 “And the gentiles shall come to
your light1, and sovereigns to the brightness of your rising.

afar, and your daughters are supported on the side.

60:5 “Then you shall see and be bright,
and your heart shall throb and swell, for the wealth of the sea is turned to
you, the riches of the gentiles come to you.
Deu 26:1 “And it shall be, when you come – (Ki Tavo) into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an
inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, (‘’when you come’’ also in Deut
17:14 except one extra Hebrew letter – ‘’vav’’
in ‘’tavo’’- why?)
Deu
26:2 that you shall take some of the
first of all the fruits of the soil which you bring from your land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and shall put
it in a basket and go to the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses to make His Name dwell
there.
Deu
26:3 “And you shall come to the one who
is priest in those days, and say to him, ‘I shall declare today to יהוה your Elohim that I have come to the land
which יהוה swore to our fathers to give us.’ (2Chron
6:6)Deu 26:4 “And the priest shall take
the basket from your hand and place it before the altar of יהוה your Elohim. (Ps 122:1)Deu 26:5 “And you shall answer and say before יהוה your Elohim, ‘My father was a perishing
Aramean,
(Our
forefather was caused to perish in Aram or my forefather – Yakov- was a lost
homeless, penniless Aramaen) and he went down to Mitsrayim and sojourned
there with few men(‘’bimetei’’). And there he became a nation, great, mighty,
and numerous. (Deut 28:62 – ‘’bimetei’’ in death – even the remnant were dying
out)
ה וְעָנִיתָ וְאָמַרְתָּ לִפְנֵי יְהוָה אֱלֹהֶיךָ, אֲרַמִּי אֹבֵד אָבִי, וַיֵּרֶד מִצְרַיְמָה, וַיָּגָר שָׁם בִּמְתֵי מְעָט; וַיְהִי-שָׁם, לְגוֹי גָּדוֹל עָצוּם וָרָב.
