Baruch ata YHVH Eloheinu melech ha-olam asher

(Bless YHVH the blessed One; Blessed is YHVH,
the blessed One for all eternity. Blessed are you, YHVH, our Elohim, King of
the Universe, you have selected us from among all the peoples,
and have given us your Torah. Blessed are you,
YHVH, giver of the Torah. Ameyn.)
The
sages teach that our entire life history is encapsulated in the song of Moshe
and that “If Israel was wise, they might study these
verses in the Song of Moshe to know their latter end”.
Moshe starts his wilderness ministry with a song, (Ex
15) now he ends it with a song – why? Only
YHVH can create real and lasting harmony in our lives. Music is also very
powerful and used by those whose hearts seek to draw near to YHVH. Haftarah: 2 Samuel
22:1-51 – David also sings a song after YHVH delivers him from great danger.
We see an amazing
structure to this song in the Torah scroll. It is written in two columns. (70
lines)
In this teaching I have
presented in bold the words written
on the right- hand side of the scroll, the sentences not in bold are the
sentences on the left- hand side of the scroll.
I believe that every word in this song of Moshe points the words and redemption
of Messiah, in fact the sages expressed concern that this text hints at another
“deity”, and have “altered” parts of the text to try and avoid this confusion.
So when we sing this song now and in the great
tribulation it is going to be like a deliverance song, it is going to be a
testimony of our lives and a confession that He alone is able to save us and we
will proclaim that even though we may be unworthy He has made us worthy and
redeemed us. It will be the key to help
us understand all that will unfold in the last days.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Mosheh the servant
of Elohim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvellous are Your
works, יהוה Ěl Shaddai!
Righteous and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the set-apart ones!
1.Dev 32:1 “Give ear, O
heavens, and let me speak; - (right hand side)
א הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם, וַאֲדַבֵּרָה;
See Gen 1:1 and Disciples ‘prayer in Mat
6:9-13 for the Hebrew pattern of right and left. Right is often associated with
that which comes from heaven and left for that which comes from earth.
Moshe called heaven and earth to bear witness
to the calamities that would befall Israel if they continued in rebelling
against YHVH and His Torah. Moshe also called heaven and earth to witness the
redemption of an obedient end time remnant.
In the last days heaven and earth will witness
the judgment and deliverance of Israel- See the pattern given in the Book of
Revelation – heaven and earth.
Moshe first
addresses the heavens. These words appear on the right- hand side of the Torah
reading.
Note the Hebrew word
“give ear” is “ha azinu” it is a hiphyl imperative verb. The Hebrew word used
here for speak is “ve adaberah” this is a cohortative verb which means that the
speaker wishes to emphasize desire and intention. Note this verb is preceded by
a “vav consecutive” meaning that the tense has reversed. It is therefore the
imperfect tense and denotes an action that still needs to be completed.
1 (b) and hear, O earth, The words (sayings)
of my mouth. (Left hand side)
וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ, אִמְרֵי-פִ
This forms part of
the most important commandment given to us by Yahshua- Mar 12:29 – ‘’ Shema
Yisrael…’’
We note here that
every word that YHVH wants us to hear and take very seriously is confirmed by
at least two witnesses – heaven and earth and Moshe. The words of Moshe have
not been done away with.
Deu 19:15 “One witness does not rise up against a man
concerning any crookedness or any sin that he commits. At the mouth of two
witnesses or at the mouth of three witnesses a matter is established.
2Co 13:1 This is the third time I am coming to you.
“By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”1
Footnote: 1Dt. 19:15.
2. Dev 32:2 “Let my instruction (Heb -leqach) fall as rain,
ב יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר לִקְחִי,
H3948
leqach
BDB Definition: Noun - 1) learning, teaching, insight 1a) instruction
(object) 1b) teaching (thing taught) 1b1) teaching-power 1b2) persuasiveness. H3947
– ‘’laqach’’- verb- means ‘’to take’’.
“Allow My instruction to be as a trickling rain” or ‘’take
My Torah and allow it to completely soak you’’.
2(b) My speech
drop down (distil) as dew –
תִּזַּל כַּטַּל אִמְרָתִי,
My sayings distill like the night mist …. Like water
vapour they keep you wet.
As the earth is dry and barren through famine; so the
human spirit is weak and barren without YHVY’s Word and Spirit. YHVH’s Word –
Ruach-filled Torah – will once again fall on us to bring fullness of life.
‘’my sayings’’ (imarti) will rise like a morning mist. When
Messiah’s words, which are the Torah’s words remain like a mist upon us. These
words of His Torah are like seedlings that are kept moist in our beings in
order to grow and become like strong healthy plants that produce a bountiful
crop.
Note the parable of the kingdom – Mat 13:1-9; 18-23
3. As
fine rain on the tender plants,
כִּשְׂעִירִם עֲלֵי-דֶשֶׁא
Joel 2:23 And
you children of Tsiyon, be glad and rejoice in יהוה your Elohim, for He shall give you the Teacher of
Righteousness, and cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the
latter rain, as before.
3(b) And as(heavy) showers on the grass. (herbs- more
established and hardy)
וְכִרְבִיבִים עֲלֵי-עֵשֶׂב.
This gives us a picture of a famer who wants light
rain just after he has sown his crop. This is to give the budding seedlings
time to grow and become strong. However, when that crop is established the
farmer desires a stronger rain that will give enough moisture to last until
harvest time – Acts 2 and Joel 2:28-32 – two outpourings of YHVH’s Ruach (Spirit)
– the former rain and the latter rain.
Heavy showers in the end times will usher the return
of Messiah – (Mat 7:24-27) This is the latter rain spoken of by Yoel. Only
those who have been established by a first outpouring (gentle rain) will be
able to endure the latter rain outpouring of the Ruach Ha Kodesh – The Set
Apart Spirit. YHVH can only harvest what He has planted.
“The rainy cycle of Israel is a prophetic type of
the outpouring of the Ruach of YHVH and the harvest of beings associated with
true revival. In late October, the early rain comes. It is called "yoreh,"
or "the pourer." It gives the young seedlings their first spurt
of growth to really start them on the way to maturity. The rainy season
follows, a time of relatively steady, but not heavy rains. Finally, in late
March or April, the latter rain comes. The Hebrews called it "malqoesh"
or the "harvest rain." It was much heavier than the early rain,
and compared to the rainy season, it was a veritable deluge. The crops grew by
leaps and bounds during this time, and the harvest immediately followed.”
(Shavuot/Pentecost)
Mic 5:6 – Prophecy
of remnant.

6 And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the
midst of many peoples, as dew from YHVH, as showers upon the
grass, that are not looked for from man, nor awaited at the hands of the sons

work of YHVH alone)

Dev 32:5 A twisted and crooked generation
has corrupted itself
שִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹא, בָּנָיו מוּמָם
Enlarged ‘’hey’’ standing on its own in of vs 5, draws our
attention to a hidden meaning.
Which
should literally read “ he was perverted or corrupted for/to Him, not his
sons/children the moral stains of them”. This could also read “he became
corrupt with the moral stains that were not his but those of other sons.”
In
verse 5 the English translation is
difficult to separate because words from both the right and the left are mixed
up - Deu 32:5
“A twisted and crooked generation has corrupted itself, They are blemished,
they are not His children. It should read:
דּוֹר
עִקֵּשׁ, וּפְתַלְתֹּל.
7(b) a generation perverse and twisted (wrestling with itself)” referring
to the sons of men on earth.
8.Dev 32:6 “Do you do this to יהוה, (is this the way you treat/recompense Yahveh?)
ו הַ לְיְהוָה,
תִּגְמְלוּ-זֹאת--
Note the enlarged “hey”
in the Torah. This once again points to the revelation of Messiah – “hey” speaks of revelation (window) in the
Hebrew idiom.
Is this the way you treat
the Moshiach who has laid down his life for you Israel, who has taken upon
himself our moral stains?
8(b) O foolish and unwise people
– left hand side.
עַם נָבָל, וְלֹא חָכָם
For these two pillars to stand
and bear witness to the truth there needs to be a balance between the spiritual
– right hand side – and the physical manifestation of the spiritual – left hand
side. Truth has two wings.

comfortably to her – speak to her heart – ‘’ve debarti al livah’’
16. He encompassed him, He caused
him to understand,
יְסֹבְבֶנְהוּ, יְבוֹנְנֵהוּ--
An end time generation is going to have such a profound assurance of the
presence of YHVH surrounding them even in the midst of chaos. We see this truth
illustrated when Yisrael experienced the pillar of cloud by day and column of
fire by night in their wilderness wandering.

Note the two different Hebrew words used for wings –
‘’kanaf’’ and ‘’evrah’’ also ‘’pinion’’.
Additional notes by Rabbi
Ginsburgh: “The Messianic Wings”
One of
the most potent images in the song of Ha'azinu is the image of the eagle
hovering over his nest of fledglings (Deuteronomy 32:11). In this metaphor,
YHVH, the eagle, comes to waken the fledglings in his nest, hovers over them,
spreads his wings over them and finally lifts them on his wings in redemptive
flight through the sky. There are two synonyms for "wings" in this
verse: kanaf, whose numerical value is 150, and evrah, whose
numerical value is 208. Together, these two words equal 358, the numerical
value of. Mashiach The eagle carrying the Hebrew
People on his wings is the Mashiach, carrying out his Divine Messianic mission.
In the Torah portion of Yitro (Exodus 19:4) YHVH also refers to the redemption
from Egypt as redemption "on the wings of eagles." Clearly, the eagle
and his wings have messianic redemptive implications.
The Hovering Eagle
Before
the eagle takes his fledglings on his wings, he must awaken them. The eagle is
a massive and powerful bird. If he lands on his nest suddenly, he is liable to
crush his fragile fledglings. Thus, our verse illustrates the eagle as hovering
over his nest, expressing himself to his fledglings as the gentlest of
creatures, manifesting perfect balance and stability. The verb for
"hover" rachef, is very rare in the Torah. One of its only
other appearances is in the second verse of Genesis, "and the spirit of
YHVH hovered over the waters." Our sages explain that this is the spirit
of Mashiach. The waters are the waters of teshuvah, the awakening of the
consciousness of the soul to return to YHVH. These two expressions of
"hovering" are completely complementary. Both point to the awakening
of the Hebrew People to the Messianic reality and return to YHVH.
19. Dev 32:12 “יהוה alone led him,
יְהוָה, בָּדָד יַנְחֶנּוּ
19(b) And there was no strange
mighty one with him.
וְאֵין עִמּוֹ, אֵל נֵכָר
‘’nechar’’ foreign mighty
one - Exo 20:2 “I am יהוה your Elohim, who brought you out of the
land of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. Exo 20:3 “You have
no other mighty ones against My face.
Isa 43:11 “I, I am יהוה, and besides Me there is no saviour.
Hos 13:4 “But I am יהוה your Elohim since the land of Mitsrayim, and an Elohim besides
Me you shall not know, for there is no Saviour besides Me.
Php 2:5 For, let this mind be in you which was also
in Messiah יהושע,
Php 2:6 who, being in the form of Elohim, did not
regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped,
Php 2:7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a
servant, and came to be in the likeness of men.
Php 2:8 And having been found in fashion as a man,
He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, death even of a stake.
Php 2:9 Elohim, therefore, has highly exalted Him
and given Him the Name which is above every name,
Whenever we find ourselves
moving away from the centrality of YHVH’s ‘’Oneness’’ we enter into the realm
of idolatry.
Isa 44:6 “Thus said יהוה, Sovereign of Yisra’ěl, and his Redeemer, יהוה of hosts, ‘I am the First and I am the
Last, besides Me there is no Elohim.

In the Torah this word
‘’bamah’’ has been mis spelled. A ‘’vav’’ has been added. Why?
‘’Vav’’’represents a nail, it also represents the number ‘’six’’ Man was
created on the sixth day. Yahshua is most referred to in the apostolic
scriptures as the ‘’son of man’’.
Php

great abundance and kindness YHVH bestowed on His people but they just grew fat
and rebelled against YHVH and His Torah.

of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah (Old Testament)."
29.Which your fathers did not fear.
לֹא שְׂעָרוּם אֲבֹתֵיכֶם
*29(b) Dev 32:18 “You neglected the Rock who brought you forth,
צוּר

“Tzur yaladecha teshi” the rock that generated you, you are oblivious to” (Oblivious
or “Teshi”)
See Stones’ chumash p 1104 the
fith line from the top. This word “teshi” has a yud which is half way down from
its normal position. Why?
Perhaps the diminished ‘’yud’’ reminds us of the
Hand of YHVH that came down to earth in the form of His only brought forth son
– Yahshua the first born of many sons of YHVH.
Col 1:15 who is the likeness of the invisible
Elohim, the first-born of all creation.b Footnote: b Heb_1:6, Rev_3:14.
Col 1:16 Because in Him were created all that are
in the heavens and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or
rulerships or principalities or authorities – all have been created through Him
and for Him.c Footnote: c Joh_1:3.
Col 1:17 And He is before all, and in Him all hold
together.
Col 1:18 And He is the Head of the body, the
assembly, who is the beginning, the first-born from the dead, that He might
become the One who is first in all.
Col 1:19 Because in Him all the completeness was
well pleased to dwell,
Col 1:20 and through Him to completely restore to
favour all unto Himself, whether on earth or in the heavens, having made peace
through the blood of His stake.
30. And forgot the Ěl who fathered(travailed) you.

30(b) Dev 32:19 “And יהוה saw, and despised, (Heb “na atz- despise and abhor)
וַיַּרְא יְהוָה, וַיִּנְאָץ
Is this possibly YHVH turning His Face away from Yahshua on the execution
stake – Deut 21:23 ‘’…for he who is hanged is accursed of Elohim…’’
31. Because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
מִכַּעַס בָּנָיו, וּבְנֹתָיו.

No faithfulness.
*33(b) Dev 32:21 “They made Me jealous by what is not Ěl,
הֵם קִנְאוּנִי בְלֹא-אֵל
Note “El” also has a “tittel” in
the scroll. Today many believers call ‘’Yahshua’’ YHVH.
In the Torah sefer this “ El” has a tittel over it ie Moshe is drawing our attention to a hidden
meaning. I believe this could be a
reference to the deceptive trinity teaching of our time. It also can refer to
all the lies religious men both Jew and gentile have substituted for the true
worship of YHVH.
34.They provoked Me with their
worthless matters.

They provoked YHVH with vanity

פַּרְעוֹת אוֹיֵב
Heb - From the head of the enemy commander – this could be a reference to

the earth in the last days.
69. Deu 32:43 “O nations, acclaim His
people *****
הַרְנִינוּ גוֹיִם עַמּוֹ
Should read “Let all the messengers of Elohim do
reverence to Him.”
“Let
all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him”is not found in the masoretic text (500CE).
Explanation:
4 Q is a reference to the Dead Sea Scroll which shows that the Masoretic
text which we now use, was tampered with to hide direct references to the
Messiah. The Septuagint also bears witness to the tampering. (The Septuagint
was a translation by 70 rabbis of the Tenach into Greek 200 years before
Messiah appeared) The masoretic text dates from around 500 C E.
In Heb 1:6 And when He again brings the first-born into
the world, He says, “Let all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him.”
Now, if the Apostolic scriptures repeat these words in
Deuteronomy 32:43, shouldn't we?
69(b) For He avenges the blood of His servants
כִּי
דַם-עֲבָדָיו יִקּוֹם
70. And
returns vengeance to His adversaries,
וְנָקָם יָשִׁיב לְצָרָיו,
Should read “ will retaliate against those who reject
him
70(b) And shall pardon His land, His people.”
וְכִפֶּר
אַדְמָתוֹ עַמּוֹ
Should read “ and will cleanse
their land”
Heb – and a propitiary shelter (kipper) will be
found in the land of His people.
Baruch atah YHVH, Eloheynu, Melech ha-‘Olam, asher natan lanu Toraht-emet,
v’chay-yeh o’lam nata-b’tochenu. Baruch atah
YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”
(Blessed are you
Yahweh, our Elohim, King of the Universe, you have given us your Torah of
truth, and have planted everlasting life within our midst. Blessed are you,
YHVH giver of the Torah – Ameyn
