Time to Realign!

Are you realigning your focus? Today’s post begins with this all important question for every believer in and follower of Yeshua (Jesus). It is a question that we are wise to ask ourselves often as it is so easy for us to drift off course in our walk with Messiah. Have you ever really thought deeply upon how much the Father has done to make us aware of His presence and of His times and calendar? In this post I will explore the magnificent gift the Father has given us in this very special month.

Shoftim

Torah Deuteronomy 16:18-21:9  Haftarah Isaiah 51:12-52:12  Brit Chadashah  John 1:19-27  Acts 3:22-23

We find ourselves in the month of Elul, a time set apart by Elohim for us to become introspective and make teshuva (repentance) ahead of Rosh HaShannah also known as the  Feast of Trumpets.  It is a time when the King is in the field and is more accessible than any other time of the year.  It is a time when we are not only to align our lives with Torah and the Mitzvot (commands) but also a time for us to fall in love with G-d all over again.  Many turn to G-d and towards the mitzvot out of fear, but ideally we return because the month of Elul reminds us  to whom we are betrothed.

Shoftim literally translates as ‘judges.”  Chapter 16:18 reads, “Shoftim and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which the L-RD your G-d gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.” (HNV)

When we read the Word we should always be mindful of the PARDES method.  Naturally the pashat or literal meaning is always valid.  We should also be mindful that there is more!  There are the hidden or allegorical meanings known as ramez and the drosh or parables that expand through story form the deeper meaning of the text.  While the people were literally to set judges and officers at the gates of the city so we are to in a sense to set judges at the gates to our souls.  How does something make it into your soul?  Through your eyes and ears.  These organs constantly stream content from the world around us into our minds where conception happens and will birth fruit.  This fruit can be Holy and a result of allowing Torah which we read or are taught to influence our hearts, or it can bear sin, the result of allowing wrong influences access to our hearts.

The month of Elul and the parasha (portion) which we find ourselves studying now call us to not only repent but to set judges at our gates.  Judge more carefully than ever  the things which we choose to expose ourselves.  Be sure to not only focus on restricting wrong content, but set your mind to not only allow but to chase after right input!

Let’s jump ahead to chapter 20.  Specifically read versers 18 & 19, “that they not teach you to do after all their abominations, which they have done to their gods; so would you sin against the L-RD your G-d. When you shall besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, you shall not destroy the trees of it by wielding an axe against them; for you may eat of them, and you shall not cut them down; for is the tree of the field man, that it should be besieged of you?”

Again on the pashat level we can see the logic in the command regarding the trees.  You come into the Promised Land you will want to preserve those trees which are good for food for the most obvious reasons.  You can also understand the logic behind the command to destroy the ones that are not good for food, or perhaps another way to look at it to tear down those that bear fruit not suitable for food.

Apply this to the spiritual component of what is being said and how it relates to the month of Elul.  We know Proverbs teaches us that Torah is a Tree of Life.  We can think back to the Garden of Eden as well and the account of the two trees, one of which we were to eat and the other not.  I believe on at least one level these verses are calling us to keep and cling to the things of the Father, specifically His Way (Torah), and to cut down, destroy, and eliminate the “connections” to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the one that bears evil fruit not profitable for us in the least.  As if I need to make it any more plain, I will nonetheless do so by saying this is a time for us to repent and run to and cling to Torah and not only turn our backs to sin but to utterly destroy it from our very presence.

Re’eh (to see)

Torah: Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17 Haftarah: Isaiah 54:11-55:5 Brit Chadashah: John 7:37-52
Studying the parashot (portions) are an amazing thing! Hopefully you will see that these are not just arbitrarily selected portions, but that they actually correspond with the moedim (appointed times) of G-d. Re’eh, which means “to see” is a wonderful example of that and I will show you something I hope you will find pretty cool to say the least. I will also briefly tie it in with the parasha from last week and look ahead and take a peek into next week.

Before I get to the verse we will look at this week I want to set a little background. Today, as I write this it is the second day of September on the gregorian calendar, but it is the 29th of Av. Coming up at sundown tomorrow through sundown Sunday we begin the month of Elul. This is a very important month on the Hebrew calendar and is the final month of the year leading to Tishre 1 which is not only the new year, but Rosh HaShannah and the start of the fall Festivals of the L-RD.

Why is this important? We are entering into a 40 day period of a time of repentance. The 30 days of Elul and the ten Days of Awe that link Tishre 1 with Yom Kippur or the Day of Atonement.

There is so much deep teaching that could be done here but quite frankly in the end would more resemble a book than a weekly study. Just keep in mind a few quick points before I go further. First Rosh HaShannah is the Feast of “Trumpets” a time when we look for the Shofar or ram’s horn to sound in Heaven calling us home to meet Messiah in Glory! It is court day in Heaven when the accuser of the brethren lodges his complaints against all humanity and nations. Then the Father goes into deliberation during the ten Days of Awe and renders judgement on Yom Kippur. So this time of introspection and repentance is a wonderful gift G-d gives us in order to afford us every opportunity to get ourselves ready, should the Shofar sound.

Remember in Matthew 25, the parable of the ten virgins. All were invited to the wedding, but only 5 were able to go! This reinforces the idea of what an amazing gift this time is.

Now I’ll show how the parasha point towards this time. Last week we studied Eikev, the root of Ya’akov or Jacob which means “heel.” We discussed the Hebrew idiom of “the heels of Messiah.” In a way that parasha tried to get our attention that we are on the heels of Messiah indeed. Naturally we will not know what year in which Yeshua (Jesus) will call us home but we do indeed know the season. This week we look at Re’eh, “to see” and this points to the introspection of the month we are heading into tomorrow evening. Sometimes this parasha may come a little sooner or a little later but it falls pretty close to the start of Elul. We will dig a bit deeper into Re’eh in a moment but I just want to link to next week and give a preview. Shoftim is about judgements. We are told to place judges and officers at the gates of the city. On the surface or pashat level that is a literal instruction. But it goes deeper. During this time of repentance and really all year long we ought to have the mindset to judge what we allow to enter through our gates, in other words our eyes and ears. We ought to guard them diligently so we do not fall into new sin.

Finally, we’ll take a brief look at Re’eh. Look at Deuteronomy chapter 11:26-28, “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you shall listen to the mitzvot of the L-RD your G-d, which I command you this day; 28 and the curse, if you shall not listen to the mitzvot of the L-RD your G-d, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.”

Rabbi Sha’ul (Apostle Paul) showed us that it is the Torah (law) that allows us to even know what sin is, therefore it is imperative for us to study the law and make application to our lives to our best ability. When we fall short, Baruch HaShem Yeshua (Praise the Name of Jesus) we have the blood of Messiah to wash away our sin. But in these verses G-d reminds us that the choice is ours. If we choose to follow the Way in which He has graciously provided us opportunity to reconnect with Him we will be blessed and have life. If we choose to walk another way of our own choosing then there are curses. I would venture to say that these are not punishments that the Father devised as a way to punish us, but rather He is warning us of the natural consequences of walking another way. When we choose to walk another way we are no longer under the umbrella of His protection. As a result of being outside of the Father’s will and stepping out of that protection then the curses come as a natural result of our disobedience.

Let us take this to heart as we enter into this gift from G-d, a gift of a time when the Father is closely paying attention and listening for our cries! The King is in the field this month…cry out, repent and draw close to Him.

Eikev (heel)

 

Torah:  Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25  Haftarah:  Isaiah 49:14-51:3  Brit Chadashah:  Hebrews 11:8-13  Romans 8:31-39

What are you running towards?

Parasha (portion) Eikev is a study rich with many lessons both on the pashat or surface level as well as many deep things.  Let’s first look at the meaning of the word “Eikev.”  It is typically translated as “because,” but it is important to look at the root meaning.  It has the same root as Ya’akov (Jacob).  In this it takes on the meaning of “heel.”  

Sharing the Gospel is too Hard…Right?

So if you are a believer in and follower of Yeshua (Jesus) there is a very high probability that you do not share the Gospel with others.  I say this harsh reality because the statistics show, depending on which study you accept, that between 2 and 3% of people who call themselves Christian actually share the Gospel.  Think of that a moment!  The horrifying fact staring us in the face is that 97% of believers fail to do their part in Messiah’s Great Commission.  

Appearance on Christian Television Network

I just wanted to give you a quick “heads up” regarding an interview I did for CTN that will air this Tuesday August 23rd at 10am EST.  I was a guest on the Herman & Sharron Bailey program so we could discuss my latest book, “The Excuse Assassin.”

 

It is a half hour program that revolved around the book and my personal testimony, but also turned to the Messianic way.  We had a rather good discussion about the relevance of the Torah and the 613 commands and how they apply to us today.  I highly encourage you to watch and set your DVR to record this interview!  Dish Network channel 267 and Direct TV channel 376.  In case you do not have access to CTN, don’t worry!  Later in the week I will post the interview on my YouTube channel and alert you here.

 

 

Va’etchanan

Vaetchanan
torah: Deut 3:23-7:11

Welcome to “Vaetchanan,” which is the Hebrew word for “I pleaded.” This parasha or portion of Torah opens with Moshe pleading with Elohim that he may be able to enter into the Promised Land. Ultimately we know that the L-RD denied the request of Moshe but did allow him to look into the land and see the expanse of the land across the Jordan river. Moshe then charges Ahron and the people to remember the mitzvot or commands of G-d when they are in the midst of the land and emphasizes the importance of the commands by reiterating the blessings and curses associated with the keeping or failing to keep them.

Our focus on this lesson will mainly come from perhaps one of the most well-known portions of Torah in Jewish circles, and it is known as the “Shema.” The word means “hear.” It does not mean hear in necessarily the same way the english word conveys. It does not simply mean to perceive through sound or to listen to. The word Shema is a verb which literally means to hear AND do. There is a definite action associated with the word. In fact, let’s go and read the portion of Deuteronomy which contains the verses which have become the hearts cry of the Jewish people and is part of their daily declaration both when they wake up in the morning and before they go to sleep at night. It is also what is hopefully declared by ones own lips before they die. It is a declaration rooted in the idea of becoming echad (ONE) with G-d. Deuteronomy 6:4-9 reads, “Hear, Yisra’el: the L-RD is our G-d; the L-RD is one: 5 and you shall love the L-RD your G-d with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. 6 These words, which I command you this day, shall be on your heart; 7 and you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the door-posts of your house, and on your gates.”

Right out of the gate it is interesting that the non-Messianic Jews take the first verse to mean that there is only One G-d, singular and there is none other. But, hidden in plain sight we read in the Hebrew no more and no less than three separate references go G-d. Shema Yisra’el ADONAI Elohaynu ADONAI Echad. In the English which you read above doesn’t quite show the same thing. Let’s look a little deeper. First mentioned; is ADONAI. This word technically isn’t a name of G-d but is a word used much like the english “L-RD..” Both refer to the tetragrammaton YHVH, what the Rabbi’s call the unutterable name of G-d. It is the most intimate name of G-d which He gave to the children of Yisra’el at Har Sini (Mt. Sinai.) The second name is Elohaynu. This translates as “our G-d.” But is a form of the first name of G-d given in Genesis chapter 1 verse 1 “Elohim.” We could translate this as G-ds in the plural which is odd if G-d is One as the Shema says and Judaism accepts. Of course, there is indeed only One True G-d but this pluralization is in reference to the triune nature of G-d. Finally we see ADONAI Echad which could be said is a description that ADONAI is One G-d as the Jewish people largely do, but it is also one of His name as in the L-RD G-d is ONe. It speaks to His oneness. So the very daily declaration of Jewish people whether they see it or not declares the triune nature of the Most High G-d of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob!

Looking now at verse 5 heart, soul and might can be more clearly defined as “time, talent, and resources.) I probably don’t need to elaborate on this too much as it is pretty clear what the implications are. I’ll just let you absorb that and draw your own conclusions.

Verse 7 is pretty interesting and likely speaks to a level which, if you are not Jewish or have not had much exposure to Hebraic teachings may come as a bit of a surprise. It is obvious on the pashat or surface level that we are talking about us, moms and dads teaching the Word of G-d to our children. Pretty much a no-brainer there. But, as always, there is something that goes deeper, beyond the surface that begs our attention. You see it is understood within Judaism that we have two fathers in this life. We have a natural father who brings us into this world and we have a spiritual father who brings us into the world to come. Maybe within the church you hear people refer to their spiritual father or spiritual dad? This is where this comes from. The idea is that whoever teaches you Torah is considered your spiritual father. A previous parasha teaches that the Word speaks of the children of Moshe and Ahron, yet only Ahron’s sons are listed. We asked ourselves why this is? The reason is that the Word was not referring to natural children but spiritual children in that all of Ahron’s children were taught under Ahron and more so Moshe. Rabbi Sha’ul refers to his son Timothy and his son Titus. Clearly these Gentile men were not Rabbi Sha’uls natural children but men whom he had taught Torah and about how Yeshua (Jesus) was the Messiah. In fact Yeshua himself famously asked the question “who is my mother and who is my father?” Then he pointed out that “these” his disciples were his mother and brothers. Clearly the disciples had been taught Torah by Yeshua making them His children. So in the Shema when we are told to teach the mitzvot or commands diligently to our children we are also being told we should teach diligently not only to our natural children but to those whom the L-RD has entrusted to us to teach Torah. This is a mitzvot not only to Rabbi Cliff and myself, but to you as well. Why do I say this? We are all called to share the Gospel and the foundation of the Gospel is Torah.

Turn now to verses 17-18 here in chapter 6, “You shall diligently keep the mitzvot of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you. 18 You shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD; that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers.”

Is Moshe or G-d being redundant when they tell us to do that which is right and good? Isn’t that which is right, good, and that which is good, right? Hopefully that is clear and I didn’t just scramble your brain! Since we know that G-d does not waste words and that every word, letter, jot and tittle are monumentally significant we must ask the question why say “right and good?” The seeming repetitiveness speaks to something extremely important. To keep a mitzvot is right. In other words, to do what we are told to do, or abstain from that which we are told to avoid is right in the sight of G-d. But, to go above and beyond the specific mitzvot that is “good.” Let me put it this way when we are commanded to give a tenth portion of our increase and we do that which He commanded, that is right. But, if out of a heart of love and gratitude for the L- RD’s blessing we give fifteen or twenty percent, that is good! Especially if we have done it with love and gratitude only and no expectation that G-d somehow owes us something now. This is what Messiah Yeshua also taught in that if someone asks for your cloak, give him your tunic also. I may have misquoted that so forgive me for only paraphrasing here. He also said if a man asks us to go with him a mile, for us to go with him two. He is teaching us the principle of doing that which is right, and good.

So, how does this apply to us now? I don’t think there is any difference in application from then to now. If we know to do right but do not, it is sin. I think it a good idea we all examine our hearts regularly if not daily to see where we have missed the mark. Remember, we have the blood of Messiah, aren’t you glad for that? I am! Even though this is the case, we ought never

to take for granted our eternal disposition. We don’t need to go around in fear of hell constantly, we can have Shalom knowing our names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Just remember is is by Grace we are saved. now that we are saved by this wonderful grace, we ought to as a natural progression want to do works. These works are not just learning and obeying the mitzvot and doing that which is right…but we ought also, as we are able to also do good.

Devarim (these be the words)

Devarim

Deuteronomy 1:1- 3:22

Devarim, (these be the words), is our focus on this week’s parasha.  We begin the final book of Torah, and are on the homestretch to the Fall Festivals of ADONAI!  This is a wonderful book as it is the final words, so-to-speak of Moshe.  In this book he recaps the ‘words’ of Torah that had been handed down on Har Sini by G-d to the children of Yisra’el.

We know from the account of the Exodus of the Hebrews out of Mitzraim (Egypt), through the wilderness and up to the point of entry into the Promised Land, that the people of G-d had a tendency to get themselves into trouble.  Despite seeing time after time the miraculous hand of G-d at work in their release and their travels they continually ended up being disciplined or their lack of emunah (trust) in G-d and their tendency to complain.  Through all of this we see a picture of Messiah Yeshua in the character of Moshe (Moses).  Time and again we see Moshe interceding on behalf of the people and pleading for G-d’s mercy.  In past parashot we have looked at the techniques Moshe used and how we can apply them to our own lives.  Specifically I will point out again how he reminded G-d of His own promises and words.  He remind the Father that it was not the reputation of the people that was on the line but rather, it was His!

 

To illustrate this intercessory characteristic of Moshe I will focus like a laser on a single word in this week’s Torah portion.  It is found in the first verse of Deuteronomy chapter 1.  “These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.”

The word ‘Dizahab” in the Hebrew literally means ‘enough gold.’  Could it be that Moshe’s use of this specific word is not only making mention to a literal geographic location but that because of the meaning of the word itself is also giving a message to the L-RD?  We already know, and have looked at here that the tendency of the people was to complain against G-d.  This word points us back to the sin of the golden calf.  Perhaps part of the reason the people did not want to go into the Promised land as a result of the report of the twelve, specifically the ten ‘spies’ was because in the wilderness they had all their needs met supernaturally.  G-d fed them, G-d met all their physical needs, G-d fought their battles for them and they were blessed so abundantly out of Mitzraim that they had so much gold and silver that it was enough.                       Another way to say it is that the people had become somewhat spoiled!  It wasn’t so much that they didn’t want the inheritance of the Promised Land, but more so that with that inheritance they were afraid that they would have to work the land and fight their own battles from this point forward.  They had become complacent and unmotivated.  Do we see this in our own lives and own experiences?  We can always find it in others, that’s easy, but we need to look not outwardly, but inwardly and examine our own hearts and see if we ourselves fall into that trap.

There is much more that can be said on the matter, but for the purposes of this teaching it will suffice to say that the use of this word not only remind the Israelites of their past transgressions in order to keep them humble and mindful of not going that way again, but also to in essence remind G-d or at least to possibly suggest to G-d that the reason they had sinned, had something to do with their being blessed beyond their ability to handle it.

Let’s use this lesson to help keep us focused on the importance of not allowing ourselves to become complacent in our blessing.  We ought to be obedient to the L-RD in all things and at all times, not just when tough times or a crisis force focus upon us.  Sure when crisis comes it does have a way of snapping us back into reality and what is truly important, but we need to remain attached to that reality even when our blessings overrun us.  It seems to be a matter of fact that in life there is a natural rhythm, or ebb and flow to blessings and times of lack.  If we can better master our emotions and decisions and stay the course I believe we will find the results to be far more beneficial.

Ten Commandments: To Follow, or Not to Follow

Increasingly  there are calls from every side to do away with those pesky Ten Commandments.  Believers get all up in arms when one group or another want the Commandments removed from a local courthouse or other public place.  Yet, the bitter irony is that the “church” in America has been guilty for the longest time of attempting to remove the Commandments (Mitzvot) of G-d from the “church” and the hearts of believers!

Grace and mercy are wonderful beautiful gifts from Eloheim.  Grace is when we get something we don’t deserve, while mercy is not getting what we do deserve.  I think the hyper-grace ideology has widely over taken much of the body of believers today.  This falls into the once saved always saved mentality.  You see, we get taught that salvation is a free gift, not of works lest any man should boast.  This is in fact true… but there is more, much more!  Rabbi Sha’ul (Apostle Paul) taught us that because we are saved by grace, the evidence that follows is that we will have good works.  Important that you hear me, we are NOT saved by works, only grace can do that.  The evidence of that salvation and free gift is that we will grow in the Word and have good works to follow.

The church has stopped at grace.  They falsely interpret Messiah’s statement “it is finished” to mean that the law (Torah) is done.  In order to believe this false teaching you must do away with other statements Messiah made like, ““Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.”(NKJV)  Fulfill does not mean do away with, that would be a contradiction.  It rather means to make more full, or to bring understanding of what it means and represents.  Messiah also said, “if you love me DO My commandments.”(John 14:15)  “IF” is a mighty big and powerful word indeed!  In other words, again, the evidence that you love Yeshua (Jesus) is that you DO His commands.  “Shema Yisra’el ADONAI Eloheynu ADONAI Echad.”(Deuteronomy 6:4)  From Deuteronomy the Hebrew phrase translates “Hear O’ Israel the L-RD your G-d, The L-RD is One.”  “Shema” or “Hear” does NOT mean to recognize through hearing or to listen, but rather it is a verb meaning to hear AND DO.

Over and over throughout the Word, and I will point out specifically the 23rd chapter of Leviticus, you see the Father declare these are statutes, or ordinances FOREVER.  Does G-d somehow not have a grasp of language which He, Himself created?  Does He not understand and need to be schooled on what “forever” means?  Certainly not!  So if Gentiles or non-Jews are grafted into the vine through the blood of Yeshua our Messiah what does that mean?  We are adopted IN to the Jewish family, NOT the other way around.  We as believers are indeed expected to learn and keep Torah.  This is the very foundation which Paul spoke of.  We are dust and clay.  I get it, we cannot possibly keep all the commandments.  There are actually 613 commands of Eloheim of which the ten are merely a table of contents if you will.  Sha’ul (Paul) said if you break one you broke them all.  This is why we need grace and mercy.  But there is no place in the Word explicit or implicit that suggests we can skate on by without paying attention to the Torah, law or commands.  Deut 28 teaches us there are blessings and curses in the law.  Blessings if we keep them, curses if we do not.  It is of utmost importance to us to learn them in light of this Scripture alone, don’t you think?

Let’s look at the sixth chapter of Romans, a wonderful New Covenant teaching from Paul which makes it clear that sin can still be a problem for the believer even after receiving grace and mercy when we come to Messiah.  You see the very definition of sin is “transgression of the law.”  If the law is done away with then there can be no sin!  Think about it!  I cannot make this point any more clear than that.  If the law is done away with and there can be no sin what in the world do we need to accept Messiah for anyway?  Once again, just to be infinitely clear about what I am saying… There has never been nor ever will be a time when the law will be done away with.  Heaven and earth will pass away before one jot or tittle of the Word will pass away says Yeshua.  Ask yourself…are you still here?  Is the earth still here?  Is heaven still in existence?  The obvious answers are all a resounding “YES!”  Therefore the law is in full effect and we need the blood of Messiah to make us clean from the consequences of failing to keep Torah.  We are however, still expected to learn it, and do our best to keep it.  “Be Holy, for I the L-RD am Holy.”

Read the entirety of Romans 6 and pay particular attention to the first two verses and verse 12.  Paul makes it clear that even once we are saved it is indeed quite possible to live in sin.  If it were not so, he would not have said so and urged us to die to sin!

So perhaps we ought to be careful.  Be careful not to dismiss Torah and the full 613 Commandments of G-d encapsulated in the Ten.  Likewise we must also be careful not to make “works” our salvation.  Simply let our works and keeping of the law reflect the gratitude in our hearts for the free gift we have received!  B’rachot (Blessings!)
