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.
Footnote: 1Isa. 60:19,20, Rev. 21:23,24.
Isa
60:4 “Lift up your eyes all around and
see: all of them have gathered, they have come to you; your sons come from
afar, and your daughters are supported on the side.
Isa
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.

and afflicted us, and imposed hard labour on us. (present world system)Deu

all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing,
and have given it to the Lĕwite, to the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the
widow, and they have eaten within your gates and have been satisfied, (every
three years Israelites were to make sure they were up to date with all their
tithing)Deu 26:13 then you shall say
before יהוה your Elohim, ‘I have put away the
set-apart portion from my house, and also have given it to the Lĕwite,
and to the stranger, and to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all
Your command which You have commanded me. I have not transgressed Your
commands, nor have I forgotten. Deu 26:14
‘I have not eaten any of it when in mourning, nor have I removed any of
it for any unclean use, nor given any of it for the dead. I have obeyed the
voice of יהוה my Elohim, I have done according to all
that You have commanded me. Deu 26:15
‘Look from Your set-apart dwelling place, from the heavens, and bless
Your people Yisra’ĕl and the land which You have given us, as You swore to our
fathers, “a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’ Deu 26:16 “Today יהוה your Elohim is commanding you to do these
laws and right-rulings. And you shall guard and do them with all your heart and
with all your being. Deu 26:17 “You have
today caused יהוה to proclaim to
be your Elohim, and to walk in His ways and guard His laws, and His commands,
and His right-rulings, and to obey(do) His voice.
Deu
26:18 “And יהוה has caused you to proclaim today to be His
people, a treasured possession, as He has spoken to you, and to guard all His
commands,
Deu 26:19 so as to
set you high above all nations which He has made, for a praise, and for a name,
and for esteem, and for you to be a set-apart people to יהוה your Elohim, as He has spoken.”
