Parashat 2 Portion 4 ‘Noach’’ Gen 6:9-7:24 Is 54:9-15 + 55:5

 Blessed are You, YHVH, our Elohim, King of the universe, who set us apart us with Your commandments and have given to us Yeshua the Messiah, the Living Torah.

Blessed are You YHVH, our Elohim, King of the universe, who chose us in Yeshua the Messiah and renewed your ancient marriage covenant you made with Israel and included us who were once gentiles to become joint heirs with Israel in this life and in the life to come.  Blessed are You, YHVH, Giver of the Torah – Amein.

אלה תולדת נח

Gen 6:9  This is the genealogy of Noa. Noa was a righteous man, perfect (tamim) in his generations. תולדתNoa walked with Elohim. את־האלהים התהלך־נח

 Tamim does not mean sinless perfection, but integrity of faith and obedience, not flawlessness.

 “Elohim hithalech Noach” or “Elohim walked about with Noach” – note the order of the sentence and the use of the hitpael verb. It was YHVH who walked about with Noach.

 Gen 6:10 And Noa brought forth three sons: Shěm, am, and Yapheth. 

 Shem → Semitic peoples (Israel, Assyria, Aram, etc.)  Ham → African & Canaanite peoples

Japheth → Indo-European peoples

 Gen 6:11 And the earth was corrupt (shachat) before Elohim, and the earth was filled with violence. (chamas) – first time ‘’shachat’’ and ‘’chamas’’ is used in Torah – last time ‘’shachat’’ is used in the Torah is Deut 32:5 and 6 times in this Torah portion – Gen 6:12,12,13,17, Gen 9:11,15.

 

Line 7. (Song of Moses) Dev 32:5   שִׁחֵת לוֹ לֹאבָּנָיו מוּמָם: morally corrupt – מוּמָם This could also read “he became corrupt with the moral stains that were not his but those of his sons.”

דּוֹר עִקֵּשׁוּפְתַלְתֹּל vs 5 ‘’a perverse generation and at war with itself”

 

The Hebrew says - “All the earth had become corrupt”. The Hebrew word for “corrupt” is “shachat” This word clearly conveys a meaning that unless YHVH removes the ‘’rotten apples’’ out of society all the people in that society will go rotten or become contaminated.

 

YHVH’s intervention is presented not only as punishment (cleansing) but also as a kind of cosmic reset — removing the corruption so that life can begin anew with Noah.

 

Rom 8:21  that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage to corruption (phthora)  into the esteemed freedom of the children of Elohim. Rom 8:22  For we know that all the creation groans together, and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 

 

In other words the ‘’old’’ creation cannot continue in its corruption – something new must come out of this chaos – a new creation - a ‘’cosmic reset’’

 

Gen 6:12 And Elohim looked upon the earth and saw that it was corrupt – for (because) all flesh had corrupted their way on the earth – 

 

 According to popular opinion it was sin and rebellion that caused the flood, yet the word “sin or rebellion” is not used once in this parasha - it is emphasizing total corruption and structural collapse, but now beyond repair and human repentance. When we observe our own country and the world around us, it is not that difficult to imagine that they are passing a point of no return.

Religion thinks it can save mankind – but religion is the reason for the corruption of mankind.

 

Paul (Rom 1:18–32) uses similar language: humanity’s corruption and rebellion against YHVH and His Torah has almost assimilated into all of creation. Paul echoes the idea that humanity cannot self-correct — only divine intervention and removal of evil restore life.

 

“Shachat” is the Hebrew word used as the reason for the destruction of the flood. It is found in different places in the scriptures:

Yirmeyahu/Jer 18:4 And the vessel that he made of clay was ruined (shachat) in the hand of the potter, so he remade it into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to do.

The vessel could not be repaired; it had to be remade.

 

Yeshayahu/Isa 52:14 As many were astonished at You – so the disfigurement (shachat) beyond any man’s and His form beyond the sons of men –

This is referring to the state of our Messiah – commentators say that this was the deepest degradation possible for any human being to undergo.

 

Without Messiah we are a “shachats” people. Sadly, most of our teaching and preaching today does not even remotely address the seriousness of our condition. Our pulpits are filled with motivational messages and a clear understanding that “things” are not “so bad”.

 

Mat 24:37  “And as the days of Noa, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aam be. 

Mat 24:38  “For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noa entered into the ark, Gen_7:7

Mat 24:39  and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aam be. Mat 24:40  “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is left. (mankind is about to find out how serious this ‘’shachtness’’ is)

 

Gen 6:13 and Elohim said to Noa, “The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence (Heb chamas) through them. And see, I am going to destroy them from the earth. (YHVH will also destroy the state of ‘’shachath’’)

 

Midrash Tanchuma adds: “The generation of Messiah will be like the generation of the Flood.”

 

Gen 6:14 “Make yourself an ark of gopherwood. Make rooms in the ark and cover it inside and outside with a covering.a Footnote: aPitch, tar or other - כּפר

 

Gen 6:15  “And this is how you are to make it: The length of the ark is three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits. 

Gen 6:16 “Make a window for the ark and complete it to a cubit from above. And set the door of the ark in its side. Make it with lower, second, and third decks. 

Gen 6:17 “And see, I Myself am bringing floodwaters on the earth, to destroy all flesh in which is the breath of life from under the heavens – all that is on the earth is to die. 

Gen 6:18 “And I shall establish (הקמתי hakimoti – I will cause My covenant to be lifted up Jn 12:32) My covenant with you, and you shall come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you. 

Gen 6:19 “And of all the living of all flesh, two of each, you are to bring into the ark, to keep them alive with you – a male and a female. 

 

Why two of each? So that the covenant would continue after the destruction of life on earth. Two is covenantal language.

 

Zep 1:2  “I shall snatch away all from the face of the earth,” declares יהוה – (only a tiny tiny remnant will be saved -not permanent eradication of all life.)

 

אָסֹף אָסֵף כֹּל מֵעַל פְּנֵי הָאֲדָמָה נְאֻם־יְהוָה – ‘’asof’’ אָסֹף – repeated twice means to ‘’terminate to terminate’’

 

Zep 1:3  “I snatch away man and beast, I snatch away the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks, with the wrong, when I shall cut-off man from the face of the earth,” declares יהוה

Zep 1:4  “And I shall stretch out My hand against Yehuah, and against all the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, and cut off every trace of Ba‛al from this place, the names of the idolatrous priests, with the priests, 

 

Isaiah 24:3 is one of the most sweeping judgment statements in the Hebrew Bible. The Hebrew reads:

בּוֹק תִּבּוֹק הָאָרֶץ וּבֹז תִּבּוֹז כִּי יְהוָה דִּבֵּר אֶת־הַדָּבָר
“The earth shall be utterly emptied and utterly plundered, for YHWH has spoken this word.”

 

Why? The earth is defiled by its inhabitants (24:5). They have transgressed Torah, broken the everlasting covenant. (annulled it for themselves but it remains binding)

 

Gen 6:20 “Of the birds after their kind, and of the cattle after their kind, and of all creeping creatures of the ground after their kind, two of each are to come to you, to keep them alive. 

Gen 6:21 “As for you, take of all food that is eaten and gather it to yourself. And it shall be food for you and for them.” 

Gen 6:22 And Noa did according to all that Elohim commanded him, so he did. 

 

Vs 22 also appears in Ex 40:16 And Mosheh did according to all that יהוה had commanded him, so he did. (building Tabernacle)

We see many comparisons between the ark of Noach and the tabernacle of Moshe. Both ‘’co – incidentally’’ share the same Hebrew word - תֵּבָה (tevah) Both were designed and initiated by YHVH and built by man. Both had three main sections. Both had one entrance. Both were made with wood and covered. Both were mobile, one moved by water, and one moved through the desert. Both travelled, one for period for 40 days and one for 40 years. Both had special features that measured one cubit by one cubit, the window in the ark and the golden altar of incense and both point to a standard measurement for their purpose and construction.

Symbolism of a Cubit: The cubit is the “base measure” throughout the Torah’s construction commands. It acts as a divine yardstick, suggesting that YHVH alone defines what preserves and measures life and what sustains and measures worship.

 

Gen 7:1  And יהוה said to Noa, “Come into the ark, you and all your household, because I have seen that you are righteous before Me in this generation. 

 

The Hebrew word for "ark," teivah, also means "word." "Come into the word," says YHVH; enter within the words of prayer and Torah study. Here you will find a sanctuary of wisdom, meaning and set apartness amidst the raging floodwaters of life - Rabbi Israel Baal Shem Tov (founder of Hasidism) taught: “Enter into the teivot of prayer and Torah.” In this view, the word of Torah itself becomes an ark — a protective vessel that carries the soul safely through chaos.

 

Is this YHVH maybe saying to an end time generation – ‘’come away with Me I have prepared a special place for you in the wilderness so that you don’t have to go through the great tribulation”

 

Hos 2:14  “Therefore, see, I am alluring her, and shall lead her into the wilderness, and shall speak to her heart, 

 

He who has the key of Dawi, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens, Isa_22:22 says this: 

Rev 3:8  “I know your works – see, I have set before you an open door, and no one is able to shut it – that you have little power, yet have guarded My Word, and have not denied My Name. 

Rev 3:9  “See, I am giving up those of the congregation of Satan, who say they are Yehuim and are not, but lie. See, I am making them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you. 

Rev 3:10  “Because you have guarded My Word of endurance, I also shall guard you from the hour of trial which shall come upon all the world, to try those who dwell on the earth. 

 

David holds a unique place in Israel’s history as the only king who truly united all twelve tribes into one kingdom. Will the 12 tribes unite again in Rev 7:4 And I heard the number of those who were sealed, one hundred and forty-four thousand, sealed out of all the tribes of the children of Yisra’ěl: (in the wilderness of the nation’s Ezek 20:35)?

 

Gen 7:2  “Of all the clean beasts take with you seven pairs, a male and his female; and of the beasts that are unclean two, a male and his female; 

 

The revelation about clean and unclean animals existed already at the time of Noach. That did not mean that the clean animals could be eaten. Man did not eat meat before the flood. The difference between clean and unclean animals was, at that time, only in connection with the offerings. The clean animals were able to serve as food for YHVH. In Bemidbar/Numbers 28:2 we see that offerings were considered by Almighty as his food.

 

Rabbinic tradition stresses that the sacrifices were never for YHVH’s benefit but for Israel’s spiritual awakening.

Midrash Tehillim 50 says: “Do I eat the flesh of bulls? Do I drink the blood of goats? Rather, I commanded this for your sake, so that you might live by My commandments.”

 

Psa 50:5  “Gather My lovingly-committed ones together to Me, Those who have made a covenant with Me by slaughtering.”  (the cutting ones who have entered into covenant with Me through sacrifice)

 

 אִסְפוּ-לִי חֲסִידָי, כֹּרְתֵי בְרִיתִי עֲלֵי-זָבַח.”

 

Psa 50:22  “Understand this please, you who forget Eloah, Lest I tear you in pieces, With no one to deliver: 

Psa 50:23  “Whoever slaughters praise esteems Me; And to him who prepares a way, I show the deliverance of Elohim.” 

 

זֹבֵחַ תּוֹדָה, יְכַבְּדָנְנִי:    וְשָׂם דֶּרֶךְ--אַרְאֶנּוּ, בְּיֵשַׁע אֱלֹהִים.

 

Ezekiel 40–48: gives a long vision of a restored temple in the future, complete with sacrifices, priests, and offerings. Many Jewish interpreters read this as the messianic temple where sacrificial service is restored in perfection.

 

When there is no temple!

 

Rom 12:1  I call upon you, therefore, brothers, through the compassion of Elohim, to present your bodies a living offering – set-apart, well-pleasing to Elohim – your reasonable worship. 

Rom 12:2  And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you prove what is that good and well-pleasing and perfect desire of Elohim. 

 

Gen 7:3  and of birds of the heavens seven pairs, male and female, to keep offspring alive on the face of all the earth. 

Gen 7:4  “For after seven more days I am sending rain on the earth, forty days and forty nights, and shall wipe מָחָה from the face of the earth all that stand that I created.” 

Gen 7:5  And Noa did according to all that יהוה commanded him. 

Gen 7:6  Now Noa was six hundred years old when the flood-waters were on the earth. 

Gen 7:7  And Noa and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives went into the ark because of the waters of the flood. 

Gen 7:8  Of the clean beasts and of the beasts that are unclean, and of birds, and of all that creep on the earth, 

Gen 7:9  two by two they went into the ark to Noa, male and female, as Elohim had commanded Noa

Gen 7:10  And it came to be after seven days that the waters of the flood were on the earth. 

Gen 7:11  In the six hundredth year of Noa’s life, in the second new moon,a the seventeenth day of the moon,a on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened. Footnote: aMonth. 

Gen 7:12  And the rain was on the earth forty days and forty nights. 

Gen 7:13  On that same day Noa and Shěm and am and Yapheth, the sons of Noa, and Noa’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, went into the ark, 

Gen 7:14  they and every life form after its kind, and every beast after its kind, and every creeping creature that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 

Gen 7:15  And they went into the ark to Noa, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 

Gen 7:16  And those going in, male and female of all flesh, went in as Elohim had commanded him, and יהוה shut him in. 

Gen 7:17  And the flood was on the earth forty days, and the waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it rose high above the earth. 

Gen 7:18  And the waters were mighty and greatly increased on the earth, and the ark moved about on the surface of the waters. 

Gen 7:19  And the waters were exceedingly mighty on the earth, and all the high mountains under all the heavens were covered. 

Gen 7:20  The waters became mighty, fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered. 

Gen 7:21  And all flesh died – the creeping creature on the earth – birds and cattle and beasts and every swarming creature that swarms on the earth, and all mankind. 

Gen 7:22  All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died. 

 

Gen 7:23  So He wiped off מָחָה all that stand, which were on the face of the ground – both man and beast, creeping creature and bird of the heavens. And they were wiped off מָחָה from the earth. And only Noa was left, and those with him in the ark. 

 

The Hebrew verb מָחָה (macha) or “wiped out” implies complete removal. There was no chance for survival outside YHVH’s protection.

Also used in 6:7, 7:4, 23 – last use in the Torah is in Parashat Netzavim – addressed to all those ‘’still standing’’ Deu 29:19  “And it shall be, when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,’ in order to add drunkenness to thirst. 

Deu 29:20  “יהוה would not forgive him, but rather, the displeasure of יהוה and His jealousy shall burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall settle on him, and יהוה shall blot out מָחָה his name from under the heavens. 

Deu 29:21  “And יהוה shall separate him for evil, out of all the tribes of Yisra’ěl, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Torah. 

 

Gen 7:24  And the waters were mighty on the earth, one hundred and fifty days. 

 

Isa 54:9  “For this is the waters of Noa to Me, in that I have sworn that the waters of Noa would never again cover the earth, so have I sworn not to be wroth with you, nor to rebuke you. 

Isa 54:10  “For though the mountains be removed and the hills be shaken, My loving-commitment is not removed from you, nor is My covenant of peace shaken,” said יהוה, who has compassion on you. 

 

Torah study and observance = tasting Eden again.

 

Blessed are You, YHVH our Elohim, King of the universe, who gave us the Torah of truth and eternal life in Yeshua the Messiah. Blessed are You, YHVH, Giver of the Torah.

Yom Truah – 2025 – An end time remnant returning to the Torah.

 URGENT! Huge Prophetic Event Unfolding in ISRAEL Right Now!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_X7gyIWMPYQ

Ezra Reads the Torah – context End of Babylonian captivity – renewing commitment to Torah. We too are coming to an end of our Babylonian captivity – we too are called to renew our return to the righteousness of the Torah – Rom 8:4  so that the righteousness of the Torah should be completed in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit

Neh 8:1 And when the seventh new moon came, (Yom teruah) the children of Yisra’ěl were in their cities. And all the people gathered together as one man in the open space that was in front of the Water Gate. And they spoke to Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Torah of Mosheh, which יהוה had commanded Yisra’ěl. 

Neh 8:2 And Ezra the priest brought the Torah before the assembly of both men and women and all who could hear with understanding, on the first day of the seventh new moon. 

Neh 8:3 And he read from it in the open space in front of the Water Gate from morning until midday, before the men and women and those who could understand. And the ears of all the people listened to the Book of the Torah. 

Neh 8:4 And Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood ……

Neh 8:5 And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was above all the people. And when he opened it, all the people stood up. 

Neh 8:6 And Ezra blessed יהוה, the great Elohim. Then all the people answered, “Aměn, Aměn!” while lifting up their hands. And they bowed their heads and worshipped יהוה with faces to the ground. 

Neh 8:7 …and the Lěwites, caused the people to understand the Torah while the people were in their place. 

Neh 8:8 And they read in the Book of the Torah of Elohim, translating to give the sense, and caused them to understand the reading. 

This Day Is Set Apart.

Neh 8:9 And Neemyah, who was the governor, and Ezra the priest, the scribe, and the Lěwites who taught the people said to all the people, “This day is set-apart to יהוה your Elohim. Do not (focus on) mourn or weep.” For all the people wept when they heard the words of the Torah. 

Neh 8:10 Then he said to them, “Go, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom none is prepared. For this day is set-apart to our Master. Do not be sad, for the joy of יהוה is your strength.” 

Neh 8:11 And the Lěwites were silencing all the people, saying, “Hush, for the day is set-apart, do not be sad.” 

Neh 8:12 And all the people went to eat and to drink, and to send portions and make a great rejoicing, because they understood the words that were made known to them. 

 Babylonian Talmud, Megillah 29a–b

The Gemara explicitly discusses the institution of public Torah reading on Mondays, Thursdays, and Shabbat:

“Why do we read on Monday and Thursday? Because the people were in danger of forgetting the Torah, and therefore Ezra established that it should be read three times a week, so that the Torah will always be remembered.”

 

Ezr 7:10  For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Torah of יהוה, and to do it, and to teach laws and right-rulings in Yisra’ěl. (Affirms Torah portions to establish ongoing covenantal commitment)

 Exodus 19:5–6: Israel becomes YHVH’s treasured people if they obey His covenant.

Deuteronomy 6:1–25: The Torah commands love and obedience to YHVH as the core of covenantal life.

Messianic Christians generally believe the ritual, ceremonial, and Temple-bound laws no longer apply in a legal sense, while moral laws and covenant principles remain. Observance may still be voluntary for spiritual, educational, or traditional reasons. (a tragic error)

 Act 24:14  “And this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so I worship the Elohim of my fathers, Exo_3:15 believing all that has been written in the Torah and in the Prophets, 

Act 24:15  having an expectation in Elohim, which they themselves also wait for, that there is to be a resurrection of the dead, both of the righteous and the unrighteous. 

Act 24:16  “And in this I exercise myself to have a clear conscience toward Elohim and men always. (not a partial selection of Torah)

 

Psa 89:34  “I shall not profane My covenant, Neither would I change what has gone out from My lips. Mat 5:17-19

 

·         Teruah: The word teruah itself can mean a loud shout or a series of broken sounds, sometimes a battle cry and sometimes a shout of joy.

·         Yevava: According to the Talmud, the rabbis debated the exact sound of the teruah. One interpretation is that it is a yevava, which means a moan or a series of short, wailing sounds. In modern shofar blowing, the yevava or teruah is often contrasted with the long, continuous sound (tekiah), and its moaning, broken sound is linked to crying out in repentance.

 

Rabbinic interpretation

In the Babylonian Talmud, specifically in tractate Rosh Hashanah 33b, the rabbis connect the sound of the shofar's teruah (a series of short, broken blasts) to the weeping sound described as yevava.(Judges 5:28) When discussing the nature of the teruah sound for Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah), the rabbis propose that the sound should be a wail, similar to that of Sisera's mother weeping for her son. Judges 5:28

This interpretation is significant because it associates the joyous and celebratory festival of Yom Teruah (Day of the Shofar Blast) with a sound of deep anguish and sorrow. It serves as a powerful call to repentance (teshuvah), reminding the listeners of the profound sadness and brokenness associated with sin. 

The connection is particularly striking because it uses the image of an enemy's mother in pain to inspire empathy and self-reflection on a day celebrating divine kingship. The wailing sound of the shofar is meant to evoke empathy and awaken the heart to return to YHVH. 

 

·         The Groom's Return: In ancient Jewish tradition, after the betrothal (erusin), the groom would return to his father's house to prepare a bridal chamber. He would come to collect his bride with a trumpet blast, at a day and hour known only to his father.

·         Yahshua as the Bridegroom: In Messianic theology, Jesus (Yeshua) is the bridegroom, and his followers are the bride. His return is associated with the sound of a "last trumpet".

 

Yom Teruah as the rehearsal: Since Yom Teruah is the Feast of Trumpets, some interpret it as a rehearsal or foreshadowing of this ultimate event—the Messiah's return to "collect his bride".  This is also supported by the fact that the day is known as the "hidden day," as it occurs on the new moon and therefore its exact timing was unknown.

 

Matthew 24:36: Yahshua says that no one knows the day or hour of his return, except the Father. This is aligned with the Jewish wedding custom where only the father knew when the bridal chamber was ready.

 

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17: Paul writes that the Lord will descend from heaven "with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet call of God," and the dead in Messiah will rise first. This is widely viewed as a reference to the rapture and the gathering of believers.

 

1 Corinthians 15:51-52: Paul again speaks of the resurrection at the "last trumpet," when believers will be changed "in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye". 

 

Mat 24:36  “But concerning that day and the hour no one knows, not even the messengers of the heavens, but My Father only.h Footnote: h Mrk_13:32 

Mat 24:37  “And as the days of Noa, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aam be. 

Mat 24:38  “For as they were in the days before the flood, eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noa entered into the ark, Gen_7:7

Mat 24:39  and they did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also shall the coming of the Son of Aam be. 

Mat 24:40  “Then two shall be in the field, the one is taken and the one is left.

Mat 24:41  “Two women shall be grinding at the mill, one is taken and one is left. 

Mat 24:42  “Watch therefore, for you do not know what hour your Master is coming. 

Mat 24:43  “And know this, that if the master of the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched and not allowed his house to be broken into. 

Mat 24:44  “Because of this, be ready too, for the Son of Aam is coming at an hour when you do not expect Him. 1 Thes 5:4

Traditional Jewish understanding

In contrast to this Christian interpretation, normative Judaism views Yom Teruah (Rosh Hashanah) as the Day of Judgment (Yom HaDin) and a time for repentance (teshuvah). The shofar blast is a spiritual alarm clock meant to awaken Jews to self-reflection and a return to God

 

According to rabbinic tradition, on Rosh Hashanah, three heavenly books are opened: 

·         The Book of the Righteous: For those who are completely righteous, their names are inscribed and sealed for a good life in the coming year.

·         The Book of the Wicked: The names of the completely wicked are inscribed and sealed for death.

·         The Intermediate Book: For the majority of humanity, who fall somewhere in the middle, their fate is held in the intermediate book. Their destiny is not sealed until Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), ten days later. 

 

The ten days between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur are a critical period for prayer, repentance (teshuvah), and charitable deeds (tzedakah). This time is seen as an opportunity for individuals to improve their standing in the heavenly court and influence the final inscription in the Book of Life.

 

Yom Truah has major significance to the whole world – this is not just a Jewish feast. It will signal the end of this age and the beginning of the millennial kingdom –

 

The Remnant of Israel Will Return

Isa 10:20  And in that day it shall be that the remnant of Yisra’ěl, and those who have escaped of the house of Ya‛aqo, never again lean upon him who struck them, but shall lean upon יהוה, the Set-apart One of Yisra’ěl, in truth. 

Isa 10:21  A remnant shall return, the remnant of Ya‛aqo, to the Mighty Ěl. 

Isa 10:22  For though your people, O Yisra’ěl, be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return – a decisive end, overflowing with righteousness. 

Isa 10:23  For the Master יהוה of hosts is making a complete end, as decided, in the midst of all the earth. 

 

The Narrow Door

Luk 13:22  And He was going through the cities and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Yerushalayim, 

Luk 13:23  and someone said to Him, “Master, are there few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 

Luk 13:24  “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, because many, I say to you, shall seek to enter in and shall not be able. 

Luk 13:25  “When once the Master of the house has risen up and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and knock at the door, saying, ‘Master, Master, open for us,’ and He shall answer and say to you, ‘I do not know you, where you are from,’ 

Luk 13:26  then you shall begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in Your presence, and You taught in our streets.’ 

Luk 13:27  “But He shall say, ‘I say to you I do not know you, where you are from.

 

World wide spiritual awakening.

Parashat 1 Portion 3 Ber/Gen 5:1-6:8 Yesh/Is 30:8-15 Matt 23:1-29


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.

זה ספר תולדת

Gen 5:1 This is the book of the genealogy of Aḏam.  Genesis 5:1 “Zeh sefer toledot Adam.”   In Rabbinic tradition, this book (sefer) includes every generation, Messiah included.

Mat 1:1  The book of the genealogy of יהושע Messiah - ספר תולדת ישוע

Both Gen 5:1 and Mat 1:1 contain the exact same phrase in Hebrew - זה ספר תולדת – in both scriptures ‘’toldot’’ or תולדת are presented without the second ‘’vav’’ see Parashat 1 Portion 2 Gen 2:4 אֵלֶּה תוֹלְדוֹת הַשָּׁמַיִם. Ruth 4:18

This is a hidden reference to the fact that YHVH continues to ‘’create’’ the ‘’toldot’’ of the first Adam and the second Adam until their perfect completion of ‘’one new man’’

YHVH’s plan is clear – Eph 2:15 …. so as to create in Himself one renewed man from the two, thus making peace, Eph 2:16  and to completely restore to favour both of them unto Elohim in one body through the stake, having destroyed the enmity by it. 

Act 17:26  “And He has made from one blood every nation of men to dwell on all the face of the earth, having ordained beforehand the times and the boundaries of their dwelling, Act 17:27  to seek the Master, if at least they would reach out for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us. Act 17:28  “For in Him we live and move and are, as also some of your own poets have said, ‘For we are also His offspring.’ 

Gen 5:2 Male and female He created them, and He blessed them, and called their name Aḏam in the day they were created.

YHVH called them both “Adam” — the perfect image of YHVH will one day again be revealed in Adam when he and Eve - joined together in perfect harmony with one another and with YHVH.

Only Yahshua can make this possible.

Eph 5:31  “For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” Gen_2:24. Eph 5:32  This secret is great, but I speak concerning Messiah and the assembly. 

Col 2:9  Because in Him (Yahshua) dwells all the completeness of Elohim-ness bodily, Col 2:10  and you (2nd person plural) have been made complete in Him, who is the Head of all principality and authority.  (“already made complete by YHVH, and that completeness continues until perfect perfection.”)

Paul goes on to warn us that when partaking of the Passover, we should carefully examine ourselves to make sure that we are not hindering in any way YHVH’s goal of ‘’creating’’ the one new man in Messiah. The consequences of such a violation would bring sickness and even premature death for believers.

1Co 11:3 And I wish you to know that the head of every man is the Messiah,a and the head of woman is the man,b and the head of Messiah is Elohim.c Footnotes: a Eph_1:22, Eph_4:15, Eph_5:23. b Gen_3:16. c 1Co_3:23, Jhn_14:28

1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, brings shame to his Head. (the government of YHVH has always been masculine)

1Co 11:5 And every woman praying or prophesying with her head uncovered brings shame to her head, for that is one and the same as if her head were shaved. 

1Co 11:6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered.d Footnote: d Num_5:18

1Co 11:7 For a man indeed should not cover his head, since he is the likeness and esteem of Elohim, but woman is the esteem of man. 

1Co 11:8 For man is not from woman, but woman from man. 

1Co 11:9 For man also was not created for the woman, but woman for the man. 

1Co 11:10 Because of this the woman ought to have authoritye on her head, because of the messengers. Footnote: eSome say “a symbol of authority.” 

1Co 11:11 However, man is not independent of woman, nor woman independent of man, in the Master. 

1Co 11:12 For as the woman was from the man, even so the man also is through the woman. But all are from Elohim. 

1Co 11:13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to Elohim with her head uncovered? 

1Co 11:14 Does not nature itself teach you that if a man indeed has long hair, it is a disrespect to him? 

1Co 11:15 And if a woman has long hair, it is an esteem to her, because the long hair has been given to her over against a veil. 

1Co 11:16 If, however, anyone seems to be contentious, we do not have such a habit, nor do the assemblies of Elohim. 

 

In certain streams of early Christian interpretation (and influenced by Second Temple Jewish lore), 1 Cor 11 was linked to Gen 6.

 

Gen 5:3 continues from Gen 2:4 describing ‘’toldot’’ (generations) without the second ‘’vav’’ (Torah) In other words ‘’the ‘’toldot’’ await a ‘’completion.’’

 

However, embedded within this ‘’incomplete toldot’’ is a secret, hidden from plain view, but critical for us to grasp and internalize to be part of the great restoration of all things in the last days. The secret lies in the meanings behind the names of the first 10 generation of Adam’s ‘’toldot’’ or generations found here in Gen 5.

 

 Gen 5:3 And Aḏam lived one hundred and thirty years, and brought forth a son in his own likeness, after his image, and called his name Shĕth.

Adam means ‘’man’’

One of the most common titles for Yashua was the “Son of Adam”. Yahshua is referred to as the Son of Man/Adam 88 times in the Apostolic scriptures and only 47 times as the Son of Elohim.

Yahshua is also referred to as the second man and the last Adam 1 Cor 15:45-48

 

Gen 5:4 And after he brought forth Shĕth, the days of Aḏam were eight hundred years. And he brought forth sons and daughters.

Seth is the “appointed one”, replacing Abel, the slain righteous son.

 Gen 5:5 So all the days that Aḏam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.

Gen 5:6 And Shĕth lived one hundred and five years and brought forth Enosh.

“Enosh” – Mortal man - desperate, incurable, desperately wicked – sorrowful or melancholic.

Now here comes the secret and without any question one of the greatest mysteries made known to man:

1Ti 3:16  And, beyond all question, the secret of reverence (set apartness) is great – who was revealed in the flesh, declared right in Spirit, was seen by messengers, was proclaimed among nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in esteem. 

Giving of the Torah (Sinai)

  • Shabbat 88b–89a (Talmud Bavli): The angels argued with God, asking why the Torah should be given to flesh and blood rather than to heavenly beings.
  • Moses responded: “Do you have a father and mother to honor? Do you suffer from evil inclination? … The Torah was meant for mankind.”
  • Here angels marvel that humans, with weakness, are chosen over them for covenantal intimacy with God.

Pesikta Rabbati 36: When Messiah is revealed, God shows him the sufferings of Israel and Messiah accepts them. Angels marvel that God’s redemption works through suffering and through a man of sorrows.

things into which angels long to look.” (1 Peter 1:10–12)

***What makes this mystery most profound is that if we walk in the light of this mystery now, we most probably won’t be deceived by the anti- Christ in the last days.

1Jn 4:1 Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 

1Jn 4:2 By this you know the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that confesses that יהושע Messiah has come in the flesh is of Elohim, 

1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that יהושע Messiah has come in the flesh is not of Elohim. And this is the spirit of the anti-messiah which you heard is coming and now is already in the world. Acts 17:30

 

It is about the ‘’humanity’’ of Yahshua. Yahshua was created by YHVH – Yahshua is not a self-existent Deity. I believe this will become one of the most critical issues facing YHVH’s people in these last days. Mankind is forbidden to worship and serve two Gods and before Yahshua returns this matter will have to be sorted out. The world is about to be introduced to the God of the Hebrews. (not the Gods of the Hebrews)

 

Why is the set apartness of the Messiah so great a ‘’mega mustrion’’?

And it’s hidden in this parasha:

“The Son of Man (Adam/Yahshua)

 ‘’is appointed’’ (Seth)

‘’to sorrow and sadness, even death’’ (Enosh)

‘’man lamented and longed for a safe refuge (Kingdom)’’ (Qeynan)

‘’then the praise of Elohim’’ Mahalal’ĕl

‘’came downward’’ ‘’Yered’’

‘’and was appointed and dedicated’’ ‘’Enoch’’

‘’and his death shall bring judgment’’ ‘’ Methushelaḥ’’

‘’and he became impoverished’’ ‘’ Lamech’’

‘’to bring comfort to man’’ ‘’Noah’’

2Co 4:12  so that death indeed is working in us, but the life in you. 

It is our death, our laying down our lives for others that will bring life to a lost mankind.

“The Elohim-Man is appointed, to sorrow! The Esteem of YHVH comes down from heaven lays down his life for others to bring comfort to those who mourn.”

This is the mirror of man – it is the mirror of Messiah.

Herein lies in my view the greatest challenge for believers:

YHVH is not a man and a man can never be YHVH. In other words, a man cannot be in covenant with two Deities.

Gen 5:7 And after he brought forth Enosh, Shĕth lived eight hundred and seven years, and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:8 So all the days of Shĕth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

Gen 5:9 And Enosh lived ninety years and brought forth Qĕynan.

Quote: “Qeynan” (S7018(not 7014) & S7064 & S7077) – possession – chamber or dwelling – to make a nest.

“Another possibility (and favored by us here at Abarim Publications) is that the name Kenan comes from the verb קין (qin), meaning to chant a dirge (Amos 8:10). This verb comes from the noun קינה (qina), meaning lamentation, or a sad poem which is sung (Jeremiah 7:19, Ezekiel 2:10). A strong clue that the name Kenan (with the troublesome double nun) indeed comes from this word group lies in the existence of a verb that HAW Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament gracefully skips but which is well featured in BDB Theological Dictionary. It's the verb קונן (qwnn), meaning to chant a dirge (Ezekiel 27:32, 1 Samuel 1:17) – see also S7015&6969’’

That way the name Kenan means Lamenter.

Something went wrong with man and could only be repaired if YHVH could enter man’s life and restore him again.

Gen 5:10 And after he brought forth Qĕynan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:11 So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died.

Gen 5:12 And Qĕynan lived seventy years and brought forth Mahalal’ĕl.

Mahal-El(S4111) – Praise of El – Yahshua was our only hope of becoming reconciled to YHVH.

Gen 5:13 After he brought forth Mahalal’ĕl, Qĕynan lived eight hundred and forty years, and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:14 So all the days of Qĕynan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

Gen 5:15 And Mahalal’ĕl lived sixty-five years and brought forth Yereḏ.Yared/Yered (S3382) to go downward.

Gen 5:16 And after he brought forth Yereḏ, Mahalal’ĕl lived eight hundred and thirty years, and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:17 So all the days of Mahalal’ĕl were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.

Gen 5:18 And Yereḏ lived one hundred and sixty-two years and brought forth Ḥanoḵ.

“Chanok” S2585 – means dedicated.

Yahshua dedicated himself to deliver humanity from their frightful predicament.

Gen 5:19 And after he brought forth Ḥanoḵ, Yereḏ lived eight hundred years, and brought forth sons and daughters.

Gen 5:20 So all the days of Yereḏ were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.

Gen 5:21 And Ḥanoḵ lived sixty-five years and brought forth Methushelaḥ.

Methushelach S4968 – “man of the dart” or literally “dying he shall send”

Meaning: “Man of the dart/weapon” or “when he dies, it shall be sent” (traditional interpretations).

“Methuselah (Hebrew: מְתוּשֶׁלַח / מְתוּשָׁלַח, Modern Metušélaħ / MetušálaħTiberian ûšéla / ûšāla ; "Man of the dart/spear", or alternatively "his death shall bring judgment") is the man reported to have lived the longest at the age of 969 in the Hebrew Bible. Extra-biblical tradition maintains that he died on the 11th of Cheshvan of the year 1656AM (Anno Mundi, after Creation), seven days before the beginning of the Great Flood.”

Gen 5:22 And after he brought forth Methushelaḥ, Ḥanoḵ walked with Elohim three hundred years, and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:23 So all the days of Ḥanoḵ were three hundred and sixty-five years.

Gen 5:24 And Ḥanoḵ walked with Elohim. Then he was no more, for Elohim took him.

Enoch means – the dedicated one.

Gen 5:25 And Methushelaḥ lived one hundred and eighty-seven years and brought forth Lemeḵ.

Lamech” S3929 – Morfix – to become impoverished.

Etymology and meaning of the name Lamech

To a creative audience, the name Lamech may also be seen as a construct of the particle ל (le), meaning to or towards: ‘’מוך’’ The verb מוך (muk) is used to denote impoverished Israelites and occurs twice: Leviticus 25:47 and 27:8.

Gen 5:26 And after he brought forth Lemeḵ, Methushelaḥ lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:27 So all the days of Methushelaḥ were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

Gen 5:28 And Lemeḵ lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and brought forth a son,

Gen 5:29 and called his name Noaḥ, saying, “This one does comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which יהוה has cursed.”

Noach” S5146 – Rest or comfort.

Gen 5:30 And after he brought forth Noaḥ, Lemeḵ lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and brought forth sons and daughters. Gen 5:31 So all the days of Lemeḵ were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.

Gen 5:32 And Noaḥ was five hundred years old, and Noaḥ brought forth Shĕm, Ḥam, and Yepheth.

Gen 6:1 And it came to be, when men began to increase on the face of the earth, and daughters (Heb ‘’Nashim’’) were born to them, (Nashim can mean simply “women” in general, but in biblical usage it often means “wives,” i.e. women already in marriage covenant.)

Midrash (Genesis Rabbah 26:5) – explains that the “sons of God” took both married and unmarried women, even coercing them, violating all boundaries.

Gen 6:2 that the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men, that they were good. And they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose. Gen 6:3 And יהוה said, “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever in his going astray. He is flesh, and his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” Gen 6:4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, (Num 13:33) when the sons of Elohim came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, the men of name. Gen 6:5 And יהוה saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. Gen 6:6 And יהוה was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. Gen 6:7 And יהוה said, “I am going to wipe off man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping creature and birds of the heavens, for I am sorry that I have made them.” Gen 6:8 But Noaḥ found favour in the eyes of יהוה.

From the fall of man in the garden until this present moment – man is faced with a ‘’covenantal crisis’’ ‘’Are you in a covenantal bond with the YHVH of Israel or are you in a covenantal bond with the spirit and religion of this age? Most of us we struggle with a loyalty mixture between these two covenants.

Only the real Messiah can show us the way back.

2Co 11:2  For I am jealous for you with a jealousy according to Elohim. For I gave you in marriage to one husband, (most Christians have two ‘’husbands’’) to present you as an innocent maiden to Messiah. 

2Co 11:3 But I am afraid, lest, as the serpent deceived awwah by his trickery, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Messiah. 

2Co 11:4 For, indeed, if he who is coming proclaims another יהושע, a whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different Good News which you have not accepted, you put up with it well enough! Footnote: a Mat_24:5 and Mat_24:23-24, Jhn_5:43

 

“To whom then will you liken Me, that I should be equal?” (Isaiah 40:25).

 

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.”

Isa 30:8 And go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it is for a latter day, a witness forever:

Isa 30:9 that this is a rebellious people, lying children, children who refuse to hear the Torah of יהוה,

Isa 30:10 who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right. Speak to us what is smooth, prophesy deceits. Isa 30:11 “Turn aside from the way, swerve from the path, cause the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl to cease from before us.” Isa 30:12 Therefore thus said the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, “Because you despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on them, Isa 30:13 therefore this crookedness is to you like a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly, swiftly.” Isa 30:14 And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel, which is broken in pieces, without sparing, so that there is not found among its fragments a sherd to take fire from the hearth, or to take water from the cistern. (Jer 2:13) Isa 30:15  For thus said the Master יהוה (Adonai YHVH), the Set-apart One of Yisra’ĕl, “In returning and rest you are saved, in stillness and trust is your strength.” But you would not,

 

Pesikta Rabbati 36: The Messiah existed before creation, hidden with God, to heal the wound of Adam’s sin.

In rabbinic culture, the greater the righteous person, the more deeply aware they became of sin.

Paul calls himself “the foremost (chief) of sinners” in 1 Timothy 1:15:

This is written near the end of his ministry (traditionally during his last imprisonment in Rome). Why would someone who also says “I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” (2 Tim 4:7) call himself the chief of sinners?

Paul is speaking in this rabbinic tradition. The closer you are to YHVH’s light, (Messiah) the more clearly you see your own darkness.
