Blessed are You, YHVH our Elohim, King of the universe, who has made us set apart through His commandments and commanded us to actively study Torah. Please YHVH, our Elohim, sweeten the words of Your Torah in our mouths and in the mouths of all Your people Israel. May we and our offspring, and the offspring of Your people, the House of Israel, may we all, together, know Your Name and study Your Torah for the sake of fulfilling Your desire. Blessed are You, YHVH, Who teaches Torah to His people Israel. Blessed are You, YHVH our Elohim, King of the universe, Who chose us from all the nations and gave us the Torah. Blessed are You, YHVH, Giver of the Torah
Isa 64:7 And there is no one who
calls on Your Name, who stirs himself up to be strengthened a in You;
for You have hidden Your face from us, and have consumed us because of our
crookednesses. Footnote: aCommonly understood as “Take hold of.”
Isa 64:8 And now, O יהוה, You are our Father. We are the clay, and You our potter. And we are all the work of Your hand.
The sages added this prophetic word to this portion. The Set Apart was
describing a future time, maybe even the end of days when it would seem that
YHVH had hidden His Face from us because we would be led into the captivity of
a New World Order. In this captivity YHVH will mould us into the likeness of
His Son and teach us obedience to ALL His Word.
This Torah portion brings an extremely harsh Word from YHVH which is hard
to hear and difficult to understand. Possibly this instruction applies to the
Messianic era as it appears evident that these instructions were seldom applied
in the history of Israel.
Why? YHVH is extremely jealous and protective of the remnant of Israel in
the last days and because His people are not always willing to listen – ‘’shema’’
they will see – ‘’re eh’’ the consequences.
Until when will His people not listen?
Isa 6:11 Then I said, “יהוה, until when?” And He
answered, “Until the cities are laid waste and without inhabitant, and the
houses are without a man, and the land is laid waste, a ruin,
Isa 6:12 and יהוה has removed men far away, and the forsaken
places be many in the midst of the land.
Isa 6:13 “But still, there is a tenth part in it, and it shall again be for a burning, like a terebinth tree and like an oak, whose stump remains when it is cut down. The set-apart seed is its stump!”
Isa
24:1 See, יהוה is making the earth empty and making it waste, and shall
overturn its surface, and shall scatter abroad its inhabitants. Isa
24:3 the earth is completely emptied and utterly plundered, for יהוה
has spoken this word. Isa 24:5 For the earth has been defiled under
its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the Torot,a changed b the
law, broken the everlasting covenant.c Footnotes: aTorot - plural of Torah - teaching.
b Jer_23:36. cSee also Isa_13:9, Isa_13:11, Isa_26:21,
Isa_66:24, Mic_5:15, Zep_1:2-18.
No
wonder Israel killed her prophets - Mat 23:37
“Yerushalayim, Yerushalayim, killing the prophets and stoning those who are
sent to her! How often I wished to gather your children together, the way a hen
gathers her chickens under her wings, but you would not!
Mat 23:38 “See! Your house is left to you laid waste, Jer_22:5.
Mat 23:39 for I say to you, from now on you shall by no means see Me, until you say, ‘Blessed is He who is coming in the Name of יהוה!’ ” Psa_118:26.
Speaking of an end time New World Order:
Rev
18:1 And
after this I saw another messenger coming down from the heaven, having great
authority, and the earth was lightened from his esteem.
Rev
18:2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, “Baḇel the great is
fallen, is fallen, Isa_21:9 and has become a dwelling place of
demons, a haunt for every unclean spirit, and a haunt for every unclean and
hated bird,
Rev
18:3 because all the nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her
whoring, and the sovereigns of the earth have committed whoring with her, and
the merchants of the earth have become rich through the power of her riotous
living.”
Rev
18:4 And I heard another voice from the heaven saying, "Come out of
her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her
plagues.a Footnote: a Jer_51:6, Jer_51:9, Jer_51:45. Also
see Jer_50:8, Jer_50:13, Jer_50:28.
Rev
18:5 “Because her sins have piled up to reach the heaven, and Elohim has
remembered her unrighteousnesses.
Rev
18:6 “Render to her as she indeed did render, and repay her double
according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix for her
double.
Rev
18:7 “As much as she esteemed herself and lived riotously, so much
torture and grief give to her, because in her heart she says, ‘I sit as
sovereigness, and I am not a widow, and I do not see mourning at all.’
Rev
18:8 “Because of this her plagues shall come in one day: death and
mourning and scarcity of food. And she shall be burned up with fire, because יהוה
Elohim who judges her is mighty.
Rev
18:9 “And the sovereigns of the earth who committed whoring and lived
riotously with her shall weep and mourn over her, when they see the smoke of
her burning,
Rev
18:10 standing at a distance for fear of her torture, saying, ‘Woe! Woe,
the great city Baḇel, the mighty city, because your judgment has come in one
hour!’
Deu 13:1 “When
there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he shall give you
a sign or a wonder,
Deu 13:2 and the sign or the wonder shall come true,
of which he has spoken to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other mighty ones –
which you have not known – and serve them,’
Deu 13:3 do not listen to the words of that prophet or
that dreamer of dreams, for יהוה your Elohim is trying you to
know whether you love יהוה your Elohim with all your heart and with all your being.
Mat 16:1 And the Pharisees and
Sadducees came, and trying Him asked that He would show them a sign from
heaven.
Mat 16:2 And He answering, said to
them, “When it is evening you say, ‘Fair weather, for the heaven is red,’
Mat 16:3 and in the morning,
‘Stormy weather today, for the heaven is red and overcast.’ You know how to
discern the face of the heaven, but you are unable to discern the signs
of the times!
Mat 16:4 “A wicked and adulterous
generation seeks after a sign, and no sign shall be given to it except the sign
of the prophet Yonah.” And He left them and went away.
Deu 13:4 “Walk after יהוה your Elohim and fear Him, and guard His commands and obey His voice, and serve Him and cling to Him.
You shall follow (halach) YHVH and fear (yara) Him, and you shall keep (shamar) His commandments, listen (shemah) His Voice, serve (avad) Him, and cling (davak) to Him.
Deu
13:5 “And that prophet or that dreamer
of dreams is put to death, because he has spoken apostasy against יהוה
your Elohim – who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim and redeemed you
from the house of bondage – to make you stray from the way in which יהוה
your Elohim commanded you to walk. Thus you shall purge the evil from your
midst.
Deu
13:6 “When your brother, the son of your
mother, or your son or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend
who is as your own being, entices you secretly, saying, ‘Let us go and serve
other mighty ones’– which you have not known, neither you nor your fathers, (you
will only know them if they teach the Words of Moses as Yahshua and His
followers taught)
Deu
13:7 of the mighty ones of the people
which are all around you, near to you or far off from you, from one end of the
earth to the other end of the earth –
Deu
13:8 do not agree with him or listen to
him, nor shall your eye pardon him, nor spare him or conceal him,
Deu
13:9 but you shall certainly kill him.
Your hand is first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of
all the people,
Deu
13:10 and you shall stone him with
stones until he dies, because he sought to entice you away from יהוה
your Elohim, who brought you out of the land of Mitsrayim, from the house of
bondage.
Deu
13:11 “And let all Yisra’ĕl hear and
fear, and not again do any such evil matter as this in your midst.
Deu
13:12 “When you hear someone in one of
your cities, which יהוה your Elohim gives you to dwell in, saying,
Deu
13:13 ‘Some men, sons of
Beliyaʽal,(worthlessness, ruin and destruction) have gone out of you midst and
led the inhabitants of their city astray, saying, “Let us go and serve other
mighty ones” ’ – mighty ones whom you have not known –
Deu
13:14 then you shall inquire, search
out, and ask diligently. And see if the matter is true and established that
this abomination was done in your midst,
Deu
13:15 you shall certainly smite the
inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, putting it under the ban,
and all that is in it and its livestock, with the edge of the sword.
Deu
13:16 “And gather all its plunder into
the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its
plunder, before יהוה your Elohim. And it shall be a heap (Heb ‘’tel’’- ‘’Ai’’Josh
8:28) forever, never to be built again.
Deu
13:17 “And none of that which is put
under the ban is to cling to your hand, so that יהוה turns from the fierceness of
His displeasure and shall show you compassion, love you and increase you, as He
swore to your fathers, (Ai – Josh 8)
Deu
13:18 when you obey the voice of יהוה
your Elohim, to guard all His commands which I command you today, to do what is
right in the eyes of יהוה your Elohim.
Deu 14:1 “You
are the children of יהוה your Elohim. Do not cut yourselves nor shave the front of your
head for the dead,
Deu
14:2 for you are a set-apart people to יהוה
your Elohim, and יהוה has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a treasured
possession above all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.
Deu 14:3 “Do not eat whatever is abominable.
YHVH appears to be intensely jealous over a very small remnant of His people to guard them and guide them through the darkest times of the last days.
Deu 4:24 “For יהוה your Elohim is a consuming fire, a jealous Ěl.
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
