(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 YHVH our Elohim
– Giver of the Torah – Amein.’)
Deu 31:14 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See,
the days have drawn near for you to die. Call Yehoshua, and present yourselves
in the Tent of Appointment, so that I command him.” And Mosheh and Yehoshua
went and presented themselves in the Tent of Appointment.
Deu 31:15 And יהוה appeared at the Tent
in a column of a cloud, and the column of a cloud stood above the door of the
Tent.
Deu 31:16 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “See,
you are about to sleep with your fathers. And this people shall rise and whore
after the mighty ones of the strangers of the land into the midst of which they
shall enter, and forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with
them.
Deu 31:17 “Then My displeasure shall burn against
them in that day, and I shall forsake them and hide My face from them, and they
shall be consumed. And many evils and distresses shall come upon them, and it
shall be said in that day, ‘Is it not because our Elohim is not in our midst
that these evils have come upon us?’
Deu 31:18 “And I shall certainly hide My face in
that day, because of all the evil which they have done, for they shall turn to
other mighty ones.
Deu 31:19 “And now write down this song for
yourselves, and teach it to the children of Yisra’ěl. Put it in their mouths,
so that this song is to Me for a witness against the children of
Yisra’ěl.
Deu 31:20 “And I shall bring them to the land
flowing with milk and honey, of which I swore to their fathers, and they shall
eat and be satisfied and be fat, then they shall turn to other mighty ones, and
they shall serve them, and scorn Me and break My covenant.
Deu 31:21 “And it shall be, when many evils and
distresses come upon them, that this song shall answer before them as a
witness. For it is not to be forgotten in the mouths of their seed, for I know
their thoughts which they are forming today, even before I bring them to the
land of which I swore to give them.”
Deu 31:22 And Mosheh wrote this song the same day,
and taught it to the children of Yisra’ěl.
Deu 31:23 And He commanded Yehoshua son of Nun, and
said, “Be strong and courageous, for you are to bring the children of Yisra’ěl
into the land of which I swore to them, and I Myself am with you.”
Deu 31:24 And it came to be, when Mosheh had
completed writing the Words of this Torah in a book, until their
completion,
Deu 31:25 that Mosheh commanded the Lěwites, who
bore the ark of the covenant of יהוה, saying,
Deu 31:26 “Take this Book of the Torah, and you shall
place it beside the ark of the covenant of יהוה your Elohim, and it
shall be there as a witness against you,
Deu 31:27 for I myself know your rebellion and your
stiff neck. See, while I am still alive with you today, you have been
rebellious against יהוה, then how much more after my death?
Deu 31:28 “Assemble unto me all the elders of your
tribes, and your officers, so that I speak these words in their hearing and
call the heavens and the earth to witness against them.
Deu 31:29 “For I know that after my death you shall
do very corruptly and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you. And
evil shall come to you in the latter days, because you do what is evil in the
eyes of יהוה, to provoke Him through the work of your hands.”
The Song of Mosheh – The ‘’swan song’’ of this present
age – Rev 15 and Rom 9:27-29
Deu 31:30 So Mosheh spoke in the hearing of all the
assembly of Yisra’ěl the words of this song till their completion:
Deu 32:1 “Give ear, O heavens, and let me
speak; And hear, O earth, The words of my mouth.
Deu 32:2 “Let my instruction fall as rain, My
speech drop down as dew, As fine rain on the tender plants, And as showers on
the grass.
Deu 32:3 “For I proclaim the Name of יהוה,
Ascribe greatness to our Elohim.
Deu 32:4 “The Rock! His work is perfect, For all
His ways are right-ruling, An Ěl of truth and without unrighteousness,
Righteous and straight is He.
The
sages teach that our entire life history is encapsulated in the song of Moses
and that “If Israel was wise, they might study these verses in the Song of
Moshe to know their latter end”.
Moshe
starts his wilderness ministry with a song, (Ex 15) now he ends it with a song
– why? Only YHVH can create real and
lasting harmony in our lives. Music is also very powerful and used by those
whose hearts seek to draw near to YHVH. Haftarah: 2 Samuel 22:1-51 –
David also sings a song after YHVH delivers him from great danger. This same Song of Moshe will be sung at the end of days – Rev 15:1-3.
We see
an amazing structure to this song in the Torah scroll. It is written in two
columns. (70 lines)
In this
teaching I have presented in bold
the words written on the right- hand side of the scroll, the sentences not in
bold are the sentences on the left- hand side of the scroll.
I
believe that every word in this song of Moshe points the words and redemption
of Messiah, in fact the sages expressed concern that this text hints at another
“deity” and have “altered” parts of the text to try and avoid this confusion.
When we
sing this song in the great tribulation it is going to be like a deliverance
song, it is going to be a testimony of our lives and a confession that He alone
is able to save us and we will proclaim that even though we may be unworthy He
has made us worthy and redeemed us. It
will be the key to help us understand all that will unfold in the last days.
Rev 15:3 And they sing the song of Mosheh the
servant of Elohim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, “Great and marvellous are
Your works, יהוה Ěl Shaddai! Righteous and
true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the set-apart ones!
1.Dev
32:1 “Give ear, O heavens, and let me speak;
- (right hand side)
א הַאֲזִינוּ הַשָּׁמַיִם,
וַאֲדַבֵּרָה;
See Gen
1:1 and Disciples ‘prayer in Mat 6:9-13 for the Hebrew pattern of right and
left. Right is often associated with that which comes from heaven and left for
that which comes from earth.
Moshe
called heaven and earth to bear witness to the calamities that would befall
Israel if they continued in rebelling against YHVH and His Torah. Moshe also
called heaven and earth to witness the redemption of an obedient end time
remnant.
In the
last days heaven and earth will witness the judgment and deliverance of Israel-
See the pattern given in the Book of Revelation – heaven and earth. (Declared
by an end time remnant who keep the Torah and have the testimony of Yahshua –
Rev 12:17;14:12….)
Moshe
first addresses the heavens. These words appear on the right- hand side of the
Torah reading.
Note the
Hebrew word “give ear” is “ha azinu” it is a hiphyl imperative verb. The Hebrew
word used here for speak is “ve adaberah” this is a cohortative verb which
means that the speaker wishes to emphasize desire and intention.
1 (b) and hear, O earth, The words (sayings)
of my mouth. (Left hand side)
וְתִשְׁמַע הָאָרֶץ, אִמְרֵי-פִ
We note
here that every word that YHVH wants us to hear and take very seriously are
confirmed by at least two witnesses – heaven and earth and Moshe.
Deu 19:15 “One
witness does not rise up against a man concerning any crookedness or any sin
that he commits. At the mouth of two witnesses or at the mouth of three
witnesses a matter is established.
2Co 13:1 This is
the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses
every word shall be established.”1 Footnote: 1Dt. 19:15.
2. Dev 32:2 “Let my
instruction (Heb -leqach) fall(trickle) as rain,
ב יַעֲרֹף כַּמָּטָר לִקְחִי,
H3948 leqach BDB Definition: Noun - 1)
learning, teaching, insight 1a) instruction (object) 1b) teaching (thing taught/caught/taken
to heart) 1b1) teaching-power 1b2) persuasiveness. H3947 – ‘’laqach’’- verb-
means ‘’to take’’.
“Allow
My instruction to be as a trickling rain” or ‘’take My Torah and allow it to
completely soak you’’.
2(b) My speech drop down (distil as mist) as dew
–
תִּזַּל
כַּטַּל אִמְרָתִי,
My
sayings distill(tizal) like the night mist (katal)…. Like water vapour they
keep you wet.
As the
earth is dry and barren through famine; so the human spirit is weak and barren
without YHVY’s Word and Spirit. YHVH’s Word – Ruach filled Torah – will once
again fall on us to bring fullness of life.
‘’my
sayings’’ (imarti) will
rise like a morning mist. When Messiah’s words, which are the Torah’s words
remain like a mist upon us. These words of His Torah are like seedlings that
are kept moist in our beings in order to grow and become like strong healthy
plants that produce a bountiful crop.
Note the
parable of the kingdom – Mat 13:1-9; 18-23
3. As fine rain on the tender plants,
כִּשְׂעִירִם עֲלֵי-דֶשֶׁא
‘’Shorim’’
or drizzle….
Joel
2:23 And you children of Tsiyon, be glad
and rejoice in יהוה your Elohim, for He shall
give you the Teacher of Righteousness, and cause the rain to come down for you,
the former rain and the latter rain, as before.
3(b) And
as(heavy) showers(raviv- bringing fertility) on the grass. (herbs- more
established and hardy)
וְכִרְבִיבִים עֲלֵי-עֵשֶׂב.
This
gives us a picture of a famer who wants light rain just after he has sown his
crop. This is to give the budding seedlings time to grow and become strong.
However, when that crop is established the farmer desires a stronger rain that
will give enough moisture to last until harvest time – Acts 2 and Joel 2:28-32
– two outpourings of YHVH’s Ruach – the former rain and the latter rain.
Heavy
showers in the end times will usher the return of Messiah – (Mat 7:24-27) This
is the latter rain spoken of by Yoel. Only those who have been established by a
first outpouring (gentle rain) will be able to endure the latter rain
outpouring of the Ruach Ha Kodesh – The Set Apart Spirit. YHVH can only harvest
what He has planted.
“The rainy cycle
of Israel is a prophetic type of the outpouring of the Ruach of YHVH and the
harvest of souls associated with true revival. In late October, the early rain
comes. It is called "yoreh," or "the
pourer." It gives the young seedlings their first spurt of growth to
really start them on the way to maturity. The rainy season follows, a time of
relatively steady, but not heavy rains. Finally, in late March or April, the
latter rain comes. The Hebrews called it "malqoesh" or
the "harvest rain." It was much heavier than the early rain, and
compared to the rainy season, it was a veritable deluge. The crops grew by
leaps and bounds during this time, and the harvest immediately followed.”
(Shavuot/Pentecost)

(Blessed are you Yahweh, our Elohim, King of the Universe,

our midst. Blessed are you, YHVH giver of the Torah – Ameyn)
