Leviticus 19:1 - 20:27
May 17th - 23rd
Yahweh emphasizes many of His teaching and Instructions (Loving Torah). What things are good? What things are evil, or lead to evil?
The prayer of Moses, The pleading of Moses who was not allowed to enter. NOTICE, IT WAS DESIGNED THIS WAY. Yahweh always had salvation through faith, in the promise to Abraham (Galatians 3:29), then the Covenant of Moses, to walk in His Teachings and Instructions. Progressive, because Moses can’t take us across the Jordan only “Yehoshua” can, ONLY Salvation can take you across! Praise His Name!
The Septuagint renamed the Hebrew Book of Devarim to its Greek name Deuteronomy, originating from two words: (1) deuteros = second & (2) nomos = law. So we have the reviews of the “law-Torah,” but we know it is the Living Torah!! This 2nd giving is called the Torah of Mount Horeb, it is the same with strong emphasis on having a “Circumcised life and Heart”, and do you??
Please note: A special Hidden understanding that is so Very Important to your Walk, and Relationship with HIM. The Torah of Sinai had 613 Mitzvot, but it didn’t include the Commandment in Deuteronomy 10:16, & Deuteronomy 30:6. This one Commandment is the Secret access to Yahweh that Abraham had, that all the Prophets had, this Access is Yeshua, He is the Circumcised Heart, that brings you to the Ladder, the Door, The Gate, The Aleph – Tav.
Chapter 30 Vows and Oaths -The Importance of our Word; this section is given by Moses to the heads of the tribes-Matot. Verses 1-2 Is your word your bond, your oath? Yes it is, so be careful! Speak life
Chapter 33 Starts out explaining about their journeys, all of them, but the journey is a wilderness and mountain top experience. It is a picture of “Progressive Revelation”, the stages of life in our journeys. You are maturing, in stages, -massa-, (see definitions). You are becoming an overcomer. You are becoming a life giving Spirit of Yahweh in Yeshua.
Pinchas is one of the few Parashah named after an individual. To appreciate how unusual this is, there is no Parashah named Abraham, nor is there one named Isaac, Jacob, Rivka, (Rebekah) Rachel, Leah, Joseph, Moses or Aaron. Clearly, Pinchas was one of the all-time heroes of Jewish history. What was his claim to fame? In an act of tremendous self-sacrifice (and at great personal danger), Pinchas acted to stop a public display of immorality, which had triggered a plague that was killing thousands. Pinchas had stepped forward at a time when everyone else had given up, and for this he was rewarded by God with the "Covenant of Peace."
What a great example of a rebellion that has happened before & does happened and will happen again: A powerful anointing of Yahweh’s choice, not ours. His way & only His way and we have always wanted “My Way”. Last week we were in Korah, in the 2nd year, now we jump almost to the fortieth year, and it’s time to have a way to be redeemed (The Water of Purification) for those who will leave Israel & have a way to return. The last verse in 22:1 …pitched in the plains of Moab on this side of the Jordan by Jericho; Almost across the Jordan. Almost Home, but still being tested!!
America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves. — Abraham Lincoln
This is what we have in this week’s Torah study. Balak tries to have Bil’am destroy Israel from the outside 4 times. “You can not Curse what is blessed”. The time has come to deal with the Real Enemy of the ‘Kingdom of Yahweh’. He is moving in His Spirit to work on YOU, and in YOU! The Remnant (YOU) will not allow the Kingdom to be destroyed from within! Get the Anointing from the Word, THE LIVING WORD; it is a Fire?? Jeremiah 23:29
Deuteronomy 31:1-3 And Moshe went & spoke these words to all Yisra’ĕl, said to them, “I am one hundred-twenty years old today. I am no longer able to go out & come in. And יהוה has said to me, ‘You do not pass over this Yardĕn.’ “יהוה your Elohim Himself is passing over before you. He shall destroy these nations from before you and you possess them. Yehoshua himself is passing over before you, as יהוה has spoken.
