(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.)
Jer 23:7
“Therefore, see, the days are coming,” declares יהוה,
“when they shall say no more, ‘As יהוה
lives who brought up the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim,’
Jer 23:8
but, ‘As יהוה lives who brought up and led
the seed of the house of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of the north and from all the
lands where I had driven them.’ And they shall dwell on their own soil.”
Isa 27:12 And in that day it shall be that יהוה threshes, from the
channel of the River to the wadi of Mitsrayim. And you shall be gathered one by
one,a O children of Yisra’ěl. Footnote: a Jer_3:14-15.
Isa 27:13 And in that day it shall be that a great
shophar is blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Ashshur and the
outcasts in the land of Mitsrayim shall come, and shall worship יהוה on the set-apart mountain, in
Yerushalayim.
Rom 11:25 For I do not wish you to be ignorant of
this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that
hardening in part has come over Yisra’ěl, until the completeness of the nations
has come in. Footnote: a Gen_48:19.
Rom 11:26 And so all Yisra’ěl shall be saved, as it
has been written, “The Deliverer shall come out of Tsiyon, and He shall turn
away wickedness from Ya‛aqoḇ,
Rom 11:27 and this is My covenant with them,
when I take away their sins.” Isa_59:20-21.
Rom 11:28 Truly, as regards the Good News they
are enemies for your sake, but concerning the choice they are
beloved for the sake of the fathers.
Rom 11:29 For the gifts and the calling of Elohim
are not to be repented of.
Compare this with
Enoch 1:9, translated from the Ethiopic text found also in Qumran scroll
4Q204=4QEnochc ar, col I 16–18:
And behold! He
cometh with ten thousands of His Saints To execute judgment upon all, And to
destroy all the ungodly: And to convict all flesh Of all the works of their
ungodliness which they have ungodly committed, And of all the hard things which
ungodly sinners have spoken against Him.
“There is abundant proof that Yahshua approved of the Book
of Enoch. Over a hundred phrases in the “New Testament” find precedents in the
Book of Enoch. Another remarkable bit of evidence for the early
Believers' acceptance of the Book of Enoch was for many years buried under the
King James Bible's mistranslation of Luke 9:35, describing the
transfiguration of Messiah: "And there came a voice out of the cloud, saying, 'This is my beloved Son: hear him." Apparently, the translator here wished to make this verse agree with a similar verse in Matthew and Mark. But Luke's verse in the original Greek reads: "This is my Son, the Elect One (from the Greek ho eklelegmenos, lit., "the elect one"): hear him." The "Elect One" is a most significant term (found fourteen times) in the Book of Enoch.”

The Book of Enoch
refers to Yahshua several times: 62.7 For from the beginning that Son of Man was hidden, and the Most
High kept him in the presence of His power, and revealed him only to the
chosen.
Mat 25:31 “And when
the Son of Aḏam comes in His esteem, and all the set-apart messengers with
Him, then He shall sit on the throne of His esteem.
We can assume that this verse is speaking of the return of
the Messiah to bring judgment to the ungodly and to reward the faithful. This
parashah is about “blessing.” Before ‘’the blessing’’ there will be judgment.
When Messiah returns his journey starts at Sinai where Israel received the
Torah. Then the Messiah breaks out or arises from Seir. Seir was the mountain
stronghold of Esav. It is also the possible location of modern-day Petra. Then
the Messiah shines upon Paran. Paran is believed to be present day Mecca in
Saudi Arabia – the birth place of Islam. Perhaps during the great tribulation
many Jews, Christians and Muslims will deeply repent and accept the real
Messiah – those who reject Messiah Yahshua and YHVH’s Torah will be judged.
(see Rev 16 and the pouring out of YHVH’s wrath, this comes after Song of Moshe
in Rev 15).
Maybe this is the beginning of the restoration of all things
spoken of in Acts 3:21 before Yahshua returns to rule and reign from
Yerushalayim for 1000 years.
Law of fire
or “Eishdat” is an interesting word – this is one word (instead of two as
reflected in the scroll) and this is the only place in the scriptures where
this word is found. “Eish” means “fire” in Hebrew and “dat” is a Persian word
meaning “law” thus the translation “fiery torah” or “fiery law.
Deu
33:7 And this of Yehuḏah, and he said,
“Hear, יהוה, the voice of Yehuḏah, and
bring him to his people. His hands shall fight for him, and You be a help
against his enemies.”
It was the
voice of Yehudah that finally brought all his brothers together – see Gen/Ber
44:18. – Parashat 11 – Vayigash. Will it
be the same pattern in the last days before Messiah returns?
Gen 44:18 And Yehuḏah came near to him and said, “O
my master, please let your servant speak a word in my master’s hearing, and do
not let your displeasure burn against your servant, for you are like
Pharaoh.
Yehudah pleads with Yosef – a kind of pre- messianic
figure – to have mercy on his father and brothers. This could be a prophetic
picture of Yehudah taking a leadership intercessory role in the last days.
Deu
33:8 And of Lĕwi he said, “Your Tummim
and Your Urim belong to Your kind one, whom You tried at Massah,(testing) with
whom You contended at the waters of Meriḇah, (quarreling)
Exo 17:7 And he
called the name of the place Massah and Meriḇah, because of the ‘strife’ of
the children of Yisra’ĕl, and because they ‘tried’ יהוה,
saying, “Is יהוה in our midst or not?”
(Numbers 20:13)
Thummim
(perfections) and Urim (light) This and all of Torah points to Messiah
(Rom10:4)
Deu
33:9 who said of his father and mother,
‘I have not seen them.’ And he did not acknowledge his brothers, or know his
own children, for they have guarded Your Word and watched over Your covenant.
Mat
10:37 “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me,
and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me – see
Luke 16:16-17.
Deu
33:10 “They teach Your right-rulings to
Yaʽaqoḇ, and Your Torah to Yisra’ĕl. They put incense before You, and a
complete burnt offering on Your altar.
Deu
33:11 “O יהוה,
bless his strength, and accept the work of his hands. Smite(shatter or wound
seriously) the loins(Heb – “moten” - place of ones sexual organs) of those who
rise against him, and of those who hate him, that they rise no more.” (cut off

Jer
33:18 And for the priests, the Lěwites, there is not to cease a man to
offer ascending offerings before Me, to kindle grain offerings, and to
slaughter continually.’ ”
Deu
33:12 Of Binyamin he said, “Let the
beloved of יהוה dwell in safety by Him,
shielding him all the day, as he dwells between His shoulders.”
The area on
the temple mount where the most set apart place appeared was in the territory
of Benjamin.
Deu
33:13 And of Yosĕph he said, “Blessed of
יהוה is his land, with the choicest from the heavens, with the dew,
and the deep lying beneath,
Deu
33:14 with the choice fruits of the sun,
with the choice yield of the months,
Deu
33:15 with the finest of the ancient
mountains, with the choicest of the everlasting hills,
Deu
33:16 with the choicest of the earth and
all that fills it, and the good pleasure of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it
come on the head of Yosĕph, and on the crown of the head of him who was
separate from his brothers.
Deu
33:17 “His splendour is like a
first-born bull, and his horns are like the horns of the wild ox. With them he
pushes the peoples to the ends of the earth. And they are the ten thousands of
Ephrayim, and they are the thousands of Menashsheh.” (brit – ish)
Deu
33:18 And of Zeḇulun he said, “Rejoice,
O Zeḇulun, in your going out, and Yissasḵar in your tents!
Deu
33:19 “They call peoples to the
mountain, there they bring offerings of righteousness, for they draw from the
riches of the seas, and treasures hidden in the sand.”
Deu
33:20 And of Gaḏ he said, “Blessed is
he who enlarges Gaḏ. He dwells as a lion, and shall tear off the arm, also the
crown.
Deu
33:21 “And he chose the best for
himself, for there the portion of the lawgiver was hidden. And he came with the
heads of the people. The righteousness of יהוה he
did, and His right-rulings with Yisra’ĕl.”
Deu
33:22 And of Dan he said, “Dan is a
lion’s cub, that leaps from Bashan.” (rural village in Iran)
Deu
33:23 And of Naphtali he said, “O
Naphtali, satisfied with pleasure,(Heb – “ratzon’’ – desire) and filled with
the blessing of יהוה, possess the west and the
south.”
Deu
33:24 And of Ashĕr he said, “Ashĕr is
most blessed of sons. Let him be accepted by his brothers, and dip his foot in
oil.
Deu
33:25 “Your sandals are iron and bronze,
and your strength as your days.
Deu
33:26 “O Yeshurun, there is no one like
Ěl, riding the heavens to help you, and on the clouds, in His excellency.
Deu
33:27 “The Elohim of old is a refuge,
and beneath are everlasting arms. And He drives out the enemy from before you
and says, ‘Destroy!’
Deu
33:28 “Thus Yisra’ĕl dwells in safety,
the fountain of Yaʽaqoḇ alone, in a land of grain and new wine. His heavens
also drop down dew.
Deu
33:29 “Blessed are you, O Yisra’ĕl! Who
is like you, a people saved by יהוה, the shield of your help, and
He who is the sword of your excellency! And your enemies are subdued for you,
and you tread down their high places.”
Dev 34:1-12
2 maccabees 2:4-2:7
4 It was also in the same document that the prophet,
having received an oracle, ordered that the tent and the ark should follow with
him, and that he went out to the mountain where Moses had gone up and had seen
the inheritance of YHVH. 5Jeremiah came and found a cave-dwelling,
and he brought there the tent and the ark and the altar of incense; then he
sealed up the entrance. 6Some of those who followed him came up
intending to mark the way, but could not
find it. 7When Jeremiah learned of it, he rebuked them and declared:
‘The place shall remain unknown until YHVH gathers his people together again
and shows his mercy.
Baruch atah YHVH, Eloheynu, Melech ha-‘Olam, asher natan

(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)
