אֲדוֹן עוֹלָם אֲשֶׁר מָלַךְ
Ber/Genesis 18:1 – 22:24
YHVH will always remain the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. He has no equal, He alone is YHVH.
Our Messiah was once asked “what is the most important commandment”.
Mar 12:28 And one of the scribes coming near, hearing them reasoning together, knowing that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first command of all?”
Mar 12:29 And יהושע answered him, “The first of all the commands is, ‘Hear, O Yisra’ĕl, יהוה our Elohim, יהוה is one.
Mar 12:30 ‘And you shall love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart, and with all your being, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first command.
Mar 12:31 “And the second, like it, is this, ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other command greater than these.”
Mar 12:32 And the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one Elohim, and there is no other besides Him.
Mar 12:33 “And to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the being, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbour as oneself, is more than all the burnt offerings and offerings.”
Mar 12:34 And when יהושע saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the reign of Elohim.” And after that no one was bold enough to question Him.
Why would this information be included in the apostolic writings? This statement made by Yahshua deeply resonates with the Torah. This is truly the watch word of our faith, the statement of a true witness of YHVH.
Let us pay careful attention to the significance of this statement. It says “shema” or “hear”
We humans have a history, starting in the Garden of Eden of NOT LISTENING.
YHVH seeks those who will truly hear what He has to say, first about Himself. In order for us to listen and obey, we need to first “hear” that HE ALONE IS YHVH.
If we don’t get this right, we are not going to get the rest of what He has to say right.
We as believers in Yahshua cannot “hear” this truth of HIS ONENESS while we are still listening to the voices of men and their religion which have been deeply influenced by paganism regarding this critical issue.
Baruch ha Shem there is a growing remnant out there that is “HEARING”.

Mat 7:14 “Because the gate is narrow and the way is hard pressed1 which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Footnote: 1Or the way is afflicted.
Affliction was the way of our fathers; we see this once again in the opening words of our parasha.
This afflicted remnant has a calling to intercession.
Yesh/Isa 1:9 Unless יהוה of hosts had left to us a small remnant, we would have become like Seḏom, we would have been made like Amorah. Note the significance of the Hebrew words “small remnant”
This word “small” in Hebrew “me -at” means tiny or hardly recognizable.
The Hebrew word for “remnant” is the word “sarid” and means “to puncture” This is comparable to the image of someone “puncturing” a bag of wheat. The small amount of wheat that comes out of the hole or “puncture” is called the “sarid” or survivors. See Rom 9.
The same expression used when Yahshua was describing those who would inherit his kingdom.
Luk 12:32 “Do not fear, little flock, because your Father did delight to give you the reign.
Blessing of the Torah:Baruch atah YHVH, Eloheynu, Melech ha-O’lam, asher bachar banu m’kol ha-amim,
v’natan lanu eht Torah-to. Baruch atah YHVH, noteyn ha-Torah. Ameyn.”
(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 Number 4. – This is the fourth parasha.
The letter “daleth” is the fourth letter of the alphabet and has a numerical value of four. Yahsua/Yeshua came to show us that he is the door, the only way to the Father.
Yochanan/Joh 10:7 Then said Jesus unto them again, Verily, verily, I say unto you, I am the door of the sheep.
Yochanan/Joh 14:6 יהושע said to him, “I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
