CHAPTER
29 Deuteronomy
29:10-29
(29:9-28 In the Hebrew)
Deu
29:10 You are
standing
today, all of you, to
the Face of hwhy, your
Elohim; your Heads,
your Tribes, your Elders, and your Officers, every man of
Israel, 11
your
little ones, your
wives, and your (sojourner (stranger) which is in the nearness of your
Camps, from the hewer (chopper) of your tree unto the bailer (drawer)
of your
water:
12 by your going over in the Covenant of hwhy, your
Elohim, and in His Alah-Oath, which hwhy, your Elohim,
is cutting (leaguing) with
you the day (today): 13 by that, shall arise you the day (today) to
Himself for
a
People, and He shall be to you for Elohim as the which has spoken to you,
and as the which has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and
to
Jacob, 14 and not with yourselves
by your aloneness I
am cutting (leaguing) ta-this Covenant
and ta-this
Alah-Oath; 15 for ta-which exists him here is
standing with us the day (today) to the Face of hwhy our
Elohim, and tawhich he is not here with us
today:
16 For you, you know tawhich we dwelled
in
the land of Egypt;
and ta
which we had gone
over in the nearness of
the nations which you
had gone over; 17 and you have seen ta-their disgustingness (filth,
pollutions), and ta-their log
idols (rolling idols)
of tree and the stone, silver, and gold, which were with them: 18
facing (lest)
shall exist among you
a man, or a woman, or
family, or a tribe, which his heart faces away the day (today) from withhwhy, our
Elohim, to go to
serve the elohim of ta-these
nations; facing (lest) shall exist
among you a root that
fructifies gall and wormwood; 19 And
shall
be, in his hearing ta-the Words of
this
alah-curse, and shall bless in his heart, to say, Peace shall be
(belong) to
me,
for
I walk in the hostility (imagination)
of my heart, by that, to
add the drunkenness
to
ta-the thirsty:
20 hwhy will
not breathe forgiveness [(be willing at
forgiving)] to him, for then shall smoke
the Anger of hwhy, and His Jealousy (Zealousy,
Zealousness) shall be
against
that man, and shall crouch on Him all of the alah-curses that were
written in
this
Scroll, and hwhy shall
blot out (abolish) ta-his name
from under the Heavens. 21 And hwhy shall distinguish (separate,
make
apart) to Himself to evil from all
of the tribes of Israel, according to [(as)] all of the alah-curses of
the Covenant
that
are written in the Scroll of this Teaching (Torah):
22 And the latter
generation, your
sons which
shall arise from after you,
and the foreigner (alien) which shall come from
a
far (distant)
land, shall say, and they shall see ta-the strikings (blows)
of that
Land, and
ta-her sicknesses which hwhy has made weak (sick) against
her; 23 brimstone (sulfur, cypress resin) and salt shall burn her
up, all
of her Land, she
shall
not be sown, and she shall not sprout, and shall not ascend among
her any
herb like (as) the overthrowing of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and
Zeboim,
which hwhy overthrew
in His Anger, and
in His Fury: 24 And all of the nations, they shall say, Upon what had hwhy
done as thus to this
Land? What was the glowness of
this
Great Anger?
25 And they shall say, Upon which they have forsaken ta-the Covenant of hwhy, Elohim of
their fathers,
which had cut (leagued) with them in His bringing them out from the
land of
Egypt: 26
and they went
and they served other elohim, and they worshiped to
them, elohim which they did not know, and not had a portion to them:
27 and glowed the Anger of hwhy against that
Land, to have come upon her ta-every despisement
(kalal-curse)
that
were written
in
this Scroll:
28 And hwhy uprooted
them from upon
their ground in Anger,
and in Fury, and in Great Indignation (Wrath, Rage), and sent them away
[(cast them)]
to
another
land, as this day. 29 The secrets belong to hwhy, our Elohim:
and the
exposings (revelations, uncoverings) belong to us and to our sons unto
ages to dota-all of the Words of this
Teaching (Torah).
(NOTE: Not all verses will have
comments)
Verses ten and eleven
10 You are
standing
today, all of you, to
the Face of hwhy, your
Elohim; your Heads,
your Tribes, your Elders, and your Officers, every man of
Israel, 11
your
little ones, your
wives, and your (sojourner (stranger) which is in the nearness of your
Camps, from the hewer (chopper) of your tree unto the bailer (drawer)
of your
water:
An Israelite having a person drawing water for them? Since when did the
Israelites obtain servants while in the wilderness? I don't think they
had
slaves in Egypt, because they were slaves themselves under the harsh
rule of Pharaoh. It was most probable that they had servants during
their
travels in the wilderness and obtained them from the destruction of the
battles they fought and destroyed.
Verses thirteen through fifteen
13 by that, shall arise you
the day (today) to Himself for
a
People, and He shall be to you for Elohim as the which has spoken to you,
and as the which has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and
to
Jacob, 14 and not with yourselves
by your aloneness I
am cutting (leaguing) ta-this Covenant
and ta-this
Alah-Oath; 15 for ta-which exists him here is
standing with us the day (today) to the Face of hwhy our
Elohim, and tawhich he is not here with us
today: In verse fifteen of
this week's Torah portion passage
15 for ta-which exists him here is
standing with us the day (today)...
In the Hebrew text, the word "are" in this week's Torah portion
passage point is "yesh". Applying it to the text it says this:
15 for ta-whichyesh,
him here is
standing with us the day (today)...
This refers to "Yeshua" who was there with Moses and the Israelites. Notice
also in verse fifteen
of this week's Torah portion passage that there is a stand alone
Aleph-Tav, meaning there
is no dash between the Aleph-Tav and the phrase in connection to it,
but still connects to it. This stand alone Aleph-Tav is connected to
the the phrase
15 ...and tawhich he is not here with us the day (today): It most likely
applies as a
"hint" to the "One" that would come who is not with Moses and the
Israelites, and that was Yeshua, the Aleph and the Tav (the Alpha and
Omega
in the Greek).
Moses also was not
just talking about them and their descendants, but also those from our
past generations and our generation today as believers in Yeshua who
will be going to be in the land through Yeshua, the Messiah.
Monte
Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted of this week's Torah portion passage that the
ones that Moses said
who are not
there with him would be the Messianics, the believers in Yeshua,
meaning us, that is "our
generation". Thank you Monte.
!!!hwhy Kl dbk
Indirectly related, we as believers have believed that we are part of
Israel by accepting Yeshua into our hearts and made Him our Lord
and Savior. Yeshua noted this, which is noted in the Gospel of John John 20:29 Yeshua saith unto
him, Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed: blessed are
they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Verse eighteen
18 facing (lest)
shall exist among you
a man, or a woman, or
family, or a tribe, which his heart faces away the day (today) from withhwhy, our
Elohim, to go to
serve the elohim of ta-these
nations; facing (lest) shall exist
among you a root that
fructifies gall and wormwood;
In this week's Torah portion passage, the phrase "shall exist" in the
Hebrew text is "yesh". Substituting shall be with
yesh, it says this:
18 facing (lest)yesh
[is] among you
a man, or a woman, or
family, or a tribe, which his heart faces away the day (today) from withhwhy, our
Elohim, to go to
serve the elohim of ta-these
nations; facing (lest) shall exist
among you a root that
fructifies gall and wormwood;
This refers to Yeshua who was in the midst of them when their hearts
turned from hwhy, their Elohim
during His Ministry to when He was crucified on a tree taking the gall
and wormwood.
!!!hwhy Kl dbk Looking at the following words:
GALL
The Hebrew word for gall
is "rohsh"- Resh, Aleph, Shin (sar).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 7219 and its definition
Apparently
the same as H7218; a poisonous plant, probably the poppy (from its
conspicuous head); generally poison (even of serpents): - gall,
hemlock, posion, venom.
from 7218 "rohsh" (sar),
and its definition
From
an
unused root apparently meaning to shake; the head (as most easily
shaken), whether literally or figuratively (in many applications, of
place, time, rank, etc.): - band, beginning, captain, chapiter, chief
(-est place, man, things), company, end, X every [man], excellent,
first, forefront, ([be-]) head, height, (on) high (-est part,
[priest]), X lead, X poor, principal, ruler, sum, top.
As noted, this Hebrew word also means "head". This also could emphasize
the "false head", which is HaSatan.
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb
Ministries noted that this will make one sicker, and sicker,
until the person is dead.
In this week's Torah portion passage, it means that the head of a man
would symbolically be
fructified with
poison. This is the same substance that Yeshua was given, but refused.
I researched why there were two different places in the Gospels where
one source says
that He received the sponge at the cross, and another saying He refused
the sponge at the cross. The reason is, because Yeshua was offered
"two"
different sponges. The first time Yeshua was
given the sponge, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 27:33 And
when
they were come unto a place called Golgotha, that is to say, a place of
a skull, 34 They gave Him
vinegar to drink mingled
with
gall: and when He had tasted
thereof, He would not drink.
This is, because the sponge was filled with "poison", which is the
gall. This poison was a
substance which would have killed Him. If Yeshua took this, He would
have disqualified Himself to be the Messiah, because He would have not
finished His set of last words before He died by saying "It
is finished". That gall would have finished Him first, and the Jewish
People, the Jewish authorities, the Romans, and the world, as well as
the prince of this world, HaSatan, would have stated "It is finished"
against Yeshua instead of Yeshua saying this Himself against HaSatan.
This is the second
time that He was given a sponge, which is noted in the Gospels of
Matthew and John
Matthew 27:48 And
straightway one of them ran, and took a
spunge, and filled it with
vinegar, and put it on a reed, and gave Him to drink.
John 19:28 After this, Yeshua
knowing that all things were now
accomplished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a
spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to His Mouth.
Notice
that this second sponge account is noted later the same Gospel of
Matthew chapter
compared to the first account. There
was no gall added to this sponge, therefore He took this second sponge,
and later said "It is finished".
WORMWOOD
The Hebrew word for wormwood
is "lah-ah-nah"- Lamed, Ayin, Nun, Heh (hnel).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 3939, and its definition
From
an
unused root supposed to mean to curse; wormwood (regarded as poisonous,
and therefore accursed): - hemlock, wormwood.
In this week's Torah portion passage, this would symbolically be one's
manifestation of his
head full of
poison by saying that the other aspect of the fructification of a man
would be speaking out "cursing".
In this week's Torah portion passage, Moses was saying to them in many
words, "Lest they be fructified with the
head full of poison and speaking out cursing". Going back to Matthew's
Gospel account noted above when Yeshua was offered vinegar and gall at
the cross, the first sponge account, if He took it,
He would be taking poison, which would symbolically effect His head and
cause Him to
speak "curses". That is also the spiritual significance why He did not
take
it. Also spiritually, we as believers need to guard our minds from
giving into spiritual poison from HaSatan and his demons, as well as
the flesh and the world, that would cause us to speak curses.
The apostle Paul noted an example of how one's heart and mind could be
guarde, which is noted in his
letter to the assembly in Philipia
Phillipians 4:6 Be
careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with
thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto hwhy. 7 And
the Peace
of hwhy,
which passeth
all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Messiah
Yeshua. 8 Finally,
brethren, whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of
good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think
on these things.
Also
indirectly related, King David speaks about the tongue, which is noted
in the book of the Psalms
Psalm 59:11 Slay
them
not, lest my People forget: scatter them by Thy Power; and bring them
down, Adonai, our Shield. 12 For
the sin of
their mouth and the words of their lips let them even be taken in their
pride: and for cursing and lying which they speak.
The apostle James also noted about the tongue, which he noted in his
epistle
James 3:1
My brethren, be not
many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in
word,
the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may
obey
us; and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which
though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they
turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor
listeth. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth
great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the
tongue
among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire
the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind
of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is
tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 But
the tongue
can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
9
Therewith bless we hwhy, even the
Father; and
therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of hwhy.
10 Out
of the same
mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing.
My brethren, these things
ought not so to be.
The
tongue is a very powerful tool. We as believers need to be careful in
what we speak.
Verse nineteen
19 And
shall
be, in his hearing ta-the Words of
this
alah-curse, and shall bless in his heart, to say, Peace shall be
(belong) to
me,
for
I walk in the hostility (imagination)
of my heart, by that, to
add the drunkenness
to
ta-the thirsty: The Hebrew word for
stubborness (hostility, imagination) is "sh'ree-rooth"- Shin, Resh, Yod,
Resh, Vav, Tav (twryrs).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 8307 and its definition
From
H8324 in the sense of twisted, that is, firm; obstinacy: - imagination,
lust.
from 8324 "Shah-rahr" (rrs),
and its definition
A
primitive root; to be hostile (only active participle an opponent): -
enemy.
There is another Hebrew word similar to this Hebrew word which is most
likely related:
from 5637 "Sah-rahr"
(rro),
and its definition
A
primitive root; to turn away, that is, (morally) be refractory: -
X away, backsliding, rebellious, revolter (-ing), slide back, stubborn,
withdrew.
Verse twenty
20 hwhy will
not breathe forgiveness [(be willing at
forgiving)] to him, for then shall smoke
the Anger of hwhy, and His Jealousy (Zealousy,
Zealousness) shall be
against
that man, and shall crouch on Him all of the alah-curses that were
written in
this
Scroll, and hwhy shall
blot out (abolish) ta-his name
from under the Heavens.
This is similar to what hwhy
said to Moses at Mount Sinai, which is noted in the Torah portion of Ki
Thisa, in book
of Exodus
Exodus 32:31And Moses
returned to hwhy, and said,
Oh now, this People have sinned a great sin, and they have done (made)
for
themselves
elohim of gold. 32 And
now, if You will, lift away (bear away, carry away) their sin, and if
not,
blot me now from Your Scroll which You have written. 33
And hwhy said to
Moses, Whom which
has sinned to Me, I will blot him out of My Scroll.
In the Brith Khadashah (the New Covenant), the assembly of
Sardis was given a warning to stick with the faith or be blotted out of
the book, which is noted in the book of Revelation
Revelation 3:1 And
unto
the angel of the assembly in Sardis write; These things saith He that
hath the seven Spirits of hwhy, and the
seven stars; I know
thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that
are
ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before hwhy.
3 Remember therefore
how thou hast received and heard, and hold fast, and repent. If
therefore thou shalt not watch, I will come on thee as a thief, and
thou shalt not know what hour I will come upon thee. 4 Thou hast a few
names even in Sardis which have not defiled their garments; and they
shall walk with Me in white: for they are worthy. 5 He
that
overcometh, the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not
blot out his name out of the Scroll of Life, but I will confess his
name
before My Father, and before His angels.
For those whose names will be blotted out (I pray that is not the case
for anyone), this is an idea what Yeshua is going to see in the Scroll
As I said, I pray none of us gets blotted out from His Scroll of Life.
It
would
be more grievous
for a believer to have his or her name blotted in the Scroll than for a
non-believer not to be in the Scroll, because the believer was saved
and
later rebelled against His Will and went their own way.
Verse twenty eight 28 And hwhy uprooted
them from upon
their ground in Anger,
and in Fury, and in Great Indignation (Wrath, Rage), and sent them away
[(cast them)]
to
another
land, as this day.
It is not shown in the English, but in the Hebrew text, the English
phrase "and cast them" is the Hebrew "vai-yash-lee-kheym" (Mklsyw).
But this Hebrew word contains a large Lamed as part of the Hebrew word
The Hebrew letter Lamed is the Paleo-Hebrew picture of a crooked
shepherd's staff. The reason this "staff" in the Hebrew word for "cast"
meant that hwhy
would use His Crooked Shepherd's Staff, since hwhy
is "the Shepherd", to cast the Israelites from the land if they reach
that point of rebellion. Mark Biltz of El
Shaddai Ministries noted that the Lamed,
which is a shepherd's staff, is an act to bring back the sheep to the
fold, meaning that hwhy
will bring the Israelites back to the land. hwhy
already brought the Southern House of Judah back starting in the late
1800's
and
became a state in 1948. hwhy
has yet to bring back the Lost Ten Northern
Tribes of the House of Israel, and that can only be done through
Yeshua,
the Messiah,
who says that He is the Shepherd, which is noted in the Gospel of John.
John 10:11 I
am the Good
Shepherd: The Good Shepherd giveth His life for the Sheep.
John
10:14 I am the Good
Shepherd, and know My Sheep, and am known of Mine.
Monte
Judah in his July 2004 "Yavoh" magazine, in his article "The Jots and
Tittles of Moses", noted this regarding the large Lamed:
"The
Lamed means a shepherds staff or a herder's goad. The staff of Moses
was used to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. The staff of
Moses was raised up in the wilderness to symbolize how the Messiah
would [be] raised up on the cross. The Letter Lamed is made bold to
remind us that the Great Shepherd will be the One who gathers us
where ever we may be scattered. This passage of Scripture explains how
Israel was prophesied by Moses to one day [be] cast into all the
nations (just as we have). But the enlgared Lamed reminds us that the
Great Shepherd will bring us back".
Verse twenty nine 29 The secrets belong to hwhy, our Elohim:
and the
exposings (revelations, uncoverings) belong to us and to our sons unto
ages to dota-all of the Words of this
Teaching (Torah).
King Solomon took this verse and applied it, which is noted in the book
of Proverbs
Proverbs 25:2
The Glory of
Elohim is the hiding of a Word: but the glory of kings is to search out
a Word.
We as believers in Yeshua are also kings, which the apostle John noted
in
the
book of Revelation
Revelation 1:3 Blessed
is
he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and
keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
4 John to the seven assemblies which are in Asia: Grace be unto
you,
and peace, from Him Who Is, and Who Was, and Who Is to Come; and
from the seven Spirits which are before His Throne; 5 And from
Yeshua, the Messiah, who is the Faithful Witness, and the First
Begotten
of the dead, and the Prince of the kings of the earth. Unto Him that
loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own Blood, 6 And
hath made
us kings and priests unto hwhy
and His Father;
to Him be Glory and Dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
In
other words, we, as "kings" and "queens" in Yeshua, are to search out a
matter, or a Word, in Messiah Yeshua, who is the Word manifested, which
is noted in the
Gospel of John
John 1:14 And
the Word
was made Flesh, and dwelt among us,...
Another issue regarding this week's Torah portion passage is the phrase
"to us
and to
our sons unto...". In the Hebrew text is "lah-noo ool-vah-ney-noo ahd" (dewnynblwwnl),
but the thing about this Hebrew text is that all of the Hebrew letters,
except
the last letter Dalet, has a dot above each letter
Monte Judah of Lion and Lamb Ministries in his July
2004 "Yavoh" magazine, in his article "The Jots and Tittles of Moses",
noted this regarding the dots:
"Again,
the jots have to do with Jacob's flock or family. This passage has the
jots placed over the future generations. It reminds us that each
generation must look to the Torah for their instruction and to
understand their part in Jacob's family, beginning with Jacob's family
being divided into two compnaies before crossing into the land. We see
that we are divided as the House of Judah and the House of Israel. That
night, Jacob was afraid and in terror. He wrestled with God; he feared
his brother Esau. It was called Jacob's trouble. The next day, he was
unified, his brohter went away, and he received a blessing and anew
name - Israel. The same will happen to us. We are in Jacob's trouble
now. We are dealing with terror. We are divided. We await the blessing
of God and His new day. Our names will be changed. We will live in the
promised land. The sages say that what happened to the fathers will
happen to the descendants. The jots remind of the story of Jacob,
Jacob's trouble, Jacob's flock and family coming together. We associate
Jacob's trouble with end time events, specifically, the Great
Tribulation. Therefore, it is of profound interest to us".
There is also an article from the Haarets website titled "The
Secrets
Behind
the Dots Parashat Nitzavim-Vayelekh", dated August 30, 2013, by Haarets
contributor Yakov Z. Meyer. You
can find
this artlice at this link:
http://www.haaretz.com/weekend/portion-of-the-week/1.544469
There is something else that I noticed regarding the dots. In my
opinion, in the
context of this verse, the dots above the phrase "to us and to our
sons...", regarding the hidden and the revealing, applies in the
context to
what King Solomon said above, but I will note again
Proverbs 25:2
The Glory of
Elohim is the hiding of a Word: but the glory of kings is to search out
a Word.
The dots above represent a symbolic picture of a crown above those of
Moses' generation and the sons after them, meaning that they are
kings in their own right when they search out the Word. The last dot is
located above the Ayin (e)
in the Hebrew word "ahd", which is translated "unto" (de).
The letter Ayin is a Paleo-Hebrew picture of the "eye". In this case,
in context of this week's Torah portion passage, it is saying to use
one's eye to see
the four levels of the word:
FIRST
LEVEL P'shat:The
Literal/Simple
[Breadth] SECOND LEVEL Drash:Parable/Allegory
[Length] THIRD LEVEL Remez:Seek/Search [Depth] FOURTH LEVEL Sod:Inner/Mystical [Height] I would like to add a fifth
level to this process: FIFTH LEVEL Yeshua:Eternal/Kingdom-Earth Connection
[Complete]
The eye is to ultimately see Yeshua in the complete understanding level
of
the Torah. Yeshua said in many words that He was setting the goal
Himself, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 5:17 Think
not
that I am come to destroy the Torah, or the Prophets: I am not come to
destroy, but to fulfil.
Phillip
witnessed the fulfillment, or completion, of the Torah, which is noted
in the Gospel of
John
John
1:45 Phillip
findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found Him, of whom Moses
in the Torah, and the Prophets, did write, Yeshua of Nazareth, the son
of Joseph.
The
apostle Paul noted this, which he noted in his letter to the assembly
in Rome
Romans 10:4 For
Messiah
is the end of the Torah for righteousness to every one that believeth.
Looking
at the word END
The Greek word for end is
"telos" (teloj).
It is from Strong's Concordance number 5056, and its definition
From
a primary
word τέλλω tellō
(to set out for a
definite point or goal); properly the point aimed at as a limit, that
is, (by implication) the conclusion of an act or state (termination
[literally, figuratively or indefinitely], result [immediate, ultimate
or prophetic], purpose); specifically an impost or levy (as paid): - +
continual, custom, end (-ing), finally, uttermost. Compare G5411.
Mark Biltz of El Shaddai
Ministries noted that in this verse of Paul to the Romans, the
King James Version translators mistranslated the word as "end" in the
verse. The apostle Paul wasn't saying that Yeshua
finished and buried the Torah forever, and we are to have a new set of
commandments, but Paul was saying that Yeshua was the "goal" of the
Torah
and
the Prophets, as the Greek word also translates. In other words, the
Torah and the prophets leads to Yeshua. This is how it should be
translated
Romans 10:4 For
Messiah
is the goal

Indirectly related, this is what king David noted in the book of
the Psalms
Psalm 22:1
...My El, my El,
why have you forsaken me?
The Hebrew text is "Ey-lee, Ey-lee, lah-mah ah-zahv-tah-nee?" (yntbze hml yla yla)
These
are the very same words Yeshua spoke and fulfilled at His
crucifixion, which is noted in
the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 27:46 And
about
the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama
sabachthani [in Greek "hli hli lama sabaxqani"]? that is to say, My El, My
El, why hast Thou forsaken Me?
The
experiences David went through was a future fulfilling prophecy to what
Yeshua went through at the cross.
CHAPTER
30 Deuteronomy
30:1-20
Deu 30:1 And
shall be,
when shall come upon you all of these Words of the Blessing and the
Despisement (Kalal-Curse)
which I have given to your face, and you shall return to your
heart
among all of the nations, which hwhy, your Elohim,
shall banish you
there, 2 and you shall return unto hwhy, your
Elohim, and you shall
listen in His Voice according to [(as)] all which I am commanding you
the day (today),
you and your sons, in all of your heart, and in all of your soul; 3 and
hwhy, your Elohim,
will turn ta-your
captivity, and will be merciful (compassionate, pitiful) of you, and
will return
and will collect (gather) you from all of the peoples which hwhy, your Elohim, had
scattered you there.
4 If you shall be banished (pushed out) among the edges (ends)
of the
Heavens, hwhy your Elohim shall collect
(gather) you from there, and shall take you from there: 5 and hwhy, your Elohim, shall
bring you [(have you go)] to the land which your fathers, they
possessed (occupied), and
you
shall possess (occupy) her; and shall do you good [(be good of you)],
and shall multiply you [(you shall multiply)]
than
your fathers, 6 and hwhy, your Elohim, shall
circumcise ta-your heart,
and ta-the heart of
your seed to
love ta-hwhy, your Elohim,
in all of your
heart, and in all of your soul, by that, you shall live. 7 And hwhy, your Elohim,
will give taall
of these alah-curses upon your enemies, and on your haters which have
persecuted
(pursued, chased) you.
8 And you, you shall return, and you shall listen in the Voice
of hwhy, and you
shall do ta-all of His Commandments
which
I
am commanding you the day (today), 9 and hwhy, your Elohim, shall make you
exceed (excel, abound) in every doing (work)
of your hand, in the fruit
of your
belly, and in
the fruit of your animal, and in the fruit of your ground, for
goodness: for hwhy shall
return to rejoice over (upon)
you for goodness as the which had rejoiced over (upon) your fathers: 10
for
you
shall listen in the Voice of hwhy, your
Elohim, to guard (keep, observe, heed) His Commandments
and His
Statutes that are written in
the
Scroll of this
Teaching
(Torah), for you shall return to hwhy, your Elohim,
in all of your
heart, and in all of your soul.
11 For this
Commandment which I am commanding you the day (today), she
is
not difficult (wonderful) from you, and she is not far off (far away).
12 She is
not in the
Heavens, to say, Who shall ascend for us to the Heavens and get (take)
her for
us, and we may hear her, and we may do her? 13 And she is not from
over by
the sea, to say, Who shall go over for us to over the
sea
and get (take) her for us, and we may hear her, and we may do her? 14
For the
Word is much near to you in your mouth and in your heart to do him.
15 See, I have given to your face the day (today) ta-the life and
ta-the good,
and
ta-the death
and ta-the evil; 16 which I am
commanding you today to love ta-hwhy, your
Elohim, to walk in His Ways, and to guard (keep, observe, heed) His
Commandments,
and His
Statutes, and His Judgments (Ordinances),
and you shall live, and you shall multiply: and hwhy, your Elohim,
shall bless you
in the Land which you are going to there to possess (occupy) her. 17
And if your
heart shall face away, and you will not listen, and you shall withdraw
(pushed away, be drawn
away), and you shall worship to
other elohim, and you
shall serve them;
18 I have declared to you
the day (today), for perishing, you
will
perish. You shall not
lengthen (prolong) days upon the Ground which you are going
over
ta-the Jordan
to go to there to
possess (occupy) her.
19 I make witness (testify) the day (today) ta-the Heavens and ta-the Earth against you, I
have given to your
face the life and the death,
the blessing and the despisement (kalal-cursing): and you shall choose
in the
life, by
that,
you
may live, you and your seed: 20 to love ta-hwhy, your
Elohim, to listen in
His Voice, and to cling on Him: for He is your Life, and the Length of
your days: to dwell upon the Ground which hwhy
swore to your fathers,
to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.

Verses one and two 1 And
shall be,
when shall come upon you all of these Words of the Blessing and the
Despisement (Kalal-Curse)

This is the result of the Israelites that were scattered abroad among
the nations
and mixed and mingled with them, which is noted in the books of the
prophet
Jeremiah and the prophet Hosea
Zecheriah 1:16 Therefore
thus saith hwhy; I am
returned to Jerusalem
with mercies: My House
shall be built in her, saith hwhy of Armies (Hosts),
and a line shall
be
stretched forth upon Jerusalem. 17 Cry yet, saying, Thus
saith hwhy of Armies (Hosts);
My cities
through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and hwhy shall yet
comfort ta-Zion, and
shall yet choose
Jerusalem. 18 Then lifted I up
mine eyes, and saw, and behold four Horns. 19 And I said unto the
Messenger that talked with me, What
be
these? And He answered me, These
are the Horns which have scattered
Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
20 And hwhy shewed me
four carpenters.
21 Then said I, What come these to do? And He spake,
saying, These
are the Horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man
did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the
horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up their horn over the land of
Judah to scatter her.
Hosea 9:16 Ephraim is
smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though
they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb.
17 My Elohim will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto
him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.

hwhy, your Elohim,

Looking at the word COLLECT (GATHER)
The Hebrew word for collect
(gather) is "kah-bahts"- Kuph, Bet, Tsade Sophit (Ubq).
It is from
Strong's Concordance number 6908, and its definition
A primitive root; to grasp, that
is, collect: - assemble (selves), gather (bring) (together, selves
together, up), heap, resort, X surely, take up.
This is where we get the modern Hebrew and English word "kibbutz".
Both houses of Israel and Judah have been scattered all over the
peoples of the earth. The Southern House of the Two Tribes of Judah
were last dispersed around 70 BC and returned to the land of Israel and
became a state in 1948. The Southern House still exists today, because
they still have the original Covenant of hwhy
and were not divorced, but the Northern House of the Ten Tribes of
Israel have yet to return, because they were divorced, which is noted
in
the
book of the prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah 3:8 And
I saw,
when for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel [Northern Kingdom of
Israel]
committed adultery I
had put her away, and given her a bill of divorce; yet her treacherous
sister Judah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.
Though
the Southern House of Judah also played the harlot, they were not
divorced as their northern brothers did.
The Ten Northern Tribes of Israel were exiled
to the
Assyrian Empire around 722 BC. It has been around 2,730 years later and
the Ten Northern Tribes have yet to return to the land. But they could
not return, because they are still divorced, until Yeshua came, who is
the Word of hwhy
made Flesh. Yeshua, who is hwhy, was Israel's
"First Husband", and He died at the cross and came back to life,
becoming "the Renewed Bachelor" again for the Northern Kingdom of
Israel, which I
noted in the Torah portion of Ki Theystey, in the book of Deuteronomy,
who now can be betrothed to
Yeshua, and are waiting for Yeshua to take them back to Israel and
become part of His "Bride".

Rico
Cortes- What is the Gospel?
Also notice in verse three of this week's Torah portion passage that
the Aleph-Tav is next to the phrase "your
captivity". When Yeshua came to the earth to die for us and was
resurrected
from the dead, hwhy
used Him to be the
turning point for us, especially for the Lost Ten Northern Tribes of
Israel, as well as the mixed multitude, to turn from their ancestors'
captivity from their judgments of
their sins, and return back to
the fold. Yeshua became the Aleph-Tav for them as well as for us to
turn us from our genrational sins.

Verse six 6 and hwhy, your Elohim, shall
circumcise ta-your heart,
and ta-the heart of
your seed to
love ta-hwhy, your Elohim,
in all of your
heart, and in all of your soul, by that, you shall live.
The House of Judah was worshipping foreign elohim, which they
were told not to do, which is noted in the book of the prophet Jeremiah
Jeremiah 4:3 For
thus
saith hwhy to the men
of Judah and
Jerusalem, Break up your fallow ground, and sow not among thorns. 4 Circumcise
yourselves to hwhy,
and take away
the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of
Jerusalem: lest My Fury shall come
forth like fire, and burn that none
can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.
The Prophet Joel gives the Israelites a way to return to hwhy
which is noted in his book
Joel 2:13 And
rend your
heart, and not your garments, and turn unto hwhy, your
Elohim: for He is
gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and
repenteth him of the evil.
This rending of their hearts could be also an act of circurmcising
their
hearts to return to hwhy.
Verses
eleven through fourteen
11 For this
Commandment which I am commanding you the day (today), she
is
not difficult (wonderful) from you, and she is not far off (far away).
12 She is
not in the
Heavens, to say, Who shall ascend for us to the Heavens and get (take)
her for
us, and we may hear her, and we may do her? 13 And she is not from
over by
the sea, to say, Who shall go over for us to over the
sea
and get (take) her for us, and we may hear her, and we may do her? 14
For the
Word is much near to you in your mouth and in your heart to do him.
The
main part of this issue is that Moses said the Torah is not far
away. Though they did not believe it, they were rebelling
against hwhy
throughout time, and they were under hwhy's
Judgment. The prophet Jeremiah noted this prophecy that
the Torah will be really close to them in their hearts, which is noted
in his
book
Jeremiah 31:31
Behold, the
days come, saith hwhy, that I
will make a New Covenant with the House of Israel, and with the House
of Judah:
32 Not according to the Covenant that I made with ta-their
fathers in
the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of
Egypt; which ta-My Covenant
they brake,
although I was an Husband unto
them, saith hwhy: 33 But
this shall be the Covenant that I will make with ta-the House of
Israel; After
those
days, saith hwhy,
I will put ta-My
Torah in their inward parts, and write her in their hearts;
and
will be for Elohim, and they shall be to Me for a People. 34 And they
shall teach no more a man to ta-his
neighbor, and a man to ta-his brother,
saying, Know ta-hwhy: for they
shall all know Me,
from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith hwhy: for I will
forgive their
iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
Yeshua recalled this week's Torah portion in summary to the Pharisees,
which is noted in the
Gospel of Luke
Luke 17:20 And
when He
was demanded of the Pharisees, when the Kingdom of hwhy should
come, He answered
them and said, The Kingdom of hwhy cometh not
with observation:
21 Neither
shall they say, Lo here! Or, lo there! For, behold, the Kingdom
of hwhy
is within you.
Thus
Yeshua fulfilled this week's Torah portion passage through their
hearing, and the apostle Paul
noted this in his letter to the assembly in Corinth
1 Corinthians 3:12 Now
if
any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood,
hay, stubble; 13 Every man's work shall be made manifest: for
the
day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the
fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any
man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a
reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer
loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. 16 Know
ye not
that ye are the Temple of hwhy, and that
the Spirit of hwhy
dwelleth in you?
In verse fourteen of this week's Torah portion passage, the phrase "to
do him" means "to do Him", meaning
"to do Yeshua", by
following Him and to do His Will through hwhy,
our Heavenly Father, because a woman and a man's head is Yeshua, which
the
apostle Paul noted in his letter to the assembly in Corinth
1 Corinthians 11:3 But
I
would have you know, that the head of every man is Messiah; and the
head
of the woman is the man; and the head of Messiah is hwhy.
Also in verse fourteen of this week's Torah portion passage, it says
that the Word is near. This is a hint
to us that "Yeshua" is near. Substituting "Word" with "Yeshua", this is
how it translates:
14 For "Yeshua"
is very near to you in your mouth and in your heart to do Him.

Verse fifteeen
15 See, I have given to your face the day (today) ta-the life and
ta-the good,
and
ta-the death
and ta-the evil;
Charlton
Heston, a
famous actor who played Moses in "The Ten Commandments" used this
week's Torah portion passage when he had just returned from Mount Sinai
with the Two Tablets of Stones, and
confronted
the Israelites worshiping the golden calf.
The life that Moses said is life that results in being selfless and not
selfish. Yeshua probably based this week's Torah portion passage, which
is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 10:39
He that findeth
his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for My Sake shall
find it.
Yeshua said this,
because it refers to Him. But it was the same
matter in this week's Torah portion passage when Moses noted to the
Israelites at
Jordan-Jericho that they were to lose their lives for hwhy's Sake and not to
find their lives in their own strength. Yeshua also was noting that
this Torah still applies to us today, and it has not changed for over
3,400
years.
Verses fifteen through eighteen
15 See, I have given to your face the day (today) ta-the life and
ta-the good,
and
ta-the death
and ta-the evil; 16 which I am
commanding you today to love ta-hwhy, your
Elohim, to walk in His Ways, and to guard (keep, observe, heed) His
Commandments,
and His
Statutes, and His Judgments (Ordinances),
and you shall live, and you shall multiply: and hwhy, your Elohim,
shall bless you
in the Land which you are going to there to possess (occupy) her. 17
And if your
heart shall face away, and you will not listen, and you shall withdraw
(pushed away, be drawn
away), and you shall worship to
other elohim, and you
shall serve them;
18 I have declared to you
the day (today), for perishing, you
will
perish. You shall not
lengthen (prolong) days upon the Ground which you are going
over
ta-the Jordan
to go to there to
possess (occupy) her.
The People did just that when they were in the land, and this is
what hwhy noted, which is
noted in the book of the prophet Hosea
Hosea 4:6 My People are
destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge,
I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no Priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the Torah of thy Elohim, I will also forget thy
sons.
This Hosea passage is easily taken out of context, because there are
those who don't finish this Hosea verse.
Verse nineteen
19 I make witness (testify) the day (today) ta-the Heavens and ta-the Earth against you,...
The apostle John noted an interesting relation on the basis of this
week's Torah portion passage, which he noted in his epistle
1 John 5:6 This
is He
that came by Water and Blood, even Yeshua, the Messiah; not by Water
only, but by Water and Blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth
witness, because the Spirit is Truth. 7 For
there are
three that bear record in the heavens, the Father, the Word, and the
Holy Spirit: and these Three are One.
8 And
there are
three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the
blood: and these three agree in one.
This is what it says in part of the Lord's Prayer, which is noted in
the Gospel of Matthew
Matthew 6:10 Thy Kingdom
come. Thy Will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
This is not correct according to Jonathan Cahn of Beth Israel Worship Center,
and it should be the other way around:
Matthew 6:10 Thy Kingdom
come. Thy Will be done as in the
heavens, so is on earth.
Thank you Jonathan.
Verses nineteen and twenty
19 ...I
have given to your
face the life and the death,
the blessing and the despisement (kalal-cursing): and you shall choose
in the
life, by
that,
you
may live, you and your seed: 20 to love ta-hwhy, your
Elohim, to listen in
His Voice, and to cling on Him: for He is your Life, and the Length of
your days: to dwell upon the Ground which hwhy
swore to your fathers,
to
Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them. We
have read
throughout Bible history the many decisions that
the Israelites made. The Northern Kingdom of Israel made the wrong
choices that
resulted in their exile from the land.
It hurts me to see brothers and sisters in Messiah fall away from the
truth and fall astray. We as believers need to help them. Show them
that you truly love them as brothers and sisters in Messiah. For those
who are not brothers and sisters in Messiah, I say unto you, "Choose
life" by admitting you are sinners and accept Yeshua into your heart
and receive Him as your Messiah.
Yeshua is the Life, which is noted in the Gospel of Matthew
John 14:6 Yeshua saith unto
him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.
Ending, I ask you that you choose "the Life", who is Yeshua.
