What a great and exciting parashah (portion)! Out of the Rivers of Egypt come 7 complete examples of Life and Death. Read on to see a special name that Joseph was given. What do you think the cows represent? How about the river? Why did Joseph make the family come back 3 times? What did Pharaoh make all of Egypt do when they were in the famine? All of this is a picture of Yeshua and the Bride (YOU)
Israel loves his son so much, he gives him a coat, like a family coat; something you would give a first-born. Joseph was the first-born of Rachel. This display of favoritism to one son caused a wild degree of resentment and jealousy. Do you think this is the kind of jealousy that Yahweh will provoke in Judah, as we see in Romans 11:11?
Jacob is Blessed, but doesn’t seem to spend much time with Yahweh like our mentor Abraham, much like the Bride of Messiah of today. We see that he is full of fear. So Yahweh meets with him, wrestles all night, spends all this time working out his fears of the world and worldly desires. We see a great change in Jacob; from this point on He is Israel!! It seems this change is from the letter to the Spirit, as it is becoming in You!
This study shows us life in Yeshua, the Mayim Chaim. It also shows the deceit and the control of the worldly items in our hearts. The fear of man and of the world systems causes us to do some foolish things as we see Jacob/Yakov doing. Yahweh made a mighty covenant with him, the same one He made with his fathers. This is the same covenant he made with you today, because of the covenant through the seed of Abraham, Yeshua. I pray we walk in His obedience, which brings authority in your life. Let these examples in Torah encourage you to know Him in a way you have never known before.
Be Transformed This Year!
You are preparing the Generations (Toldot) to come! Who are they??
These are the generations, descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; but these are also the Generations of Abraham & his Seed, Yeshua/Jesus, and you. All of this is from the Covenant that has been renewed from Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, and then again in Jeremiah 31:31-34 and Hebrews 8:8-12. These are the Generations of His Love and Compassion for His Bride, through the redemption of the Son-ship and the Spirit of Adoption. Praise His Name that you can be grafted into His genealogy. This study can show us how we can choose the right birthright, the right kingdom, and how to serve the right God. We also learn how to live from the wells that give living water, that give life and give it more abundantly!
Simchat Torah - Simchat Torah -The Joy of God’s Teaching and Instructions
The majesty of God; the blessings of the twelve tribes; the Excellency of Israel. Moses from mount Nebo views the land; he dies there; his burial; his age; thirty days’ mourning for him, Joshua succeeds him; the praise of Moses.
Revelation 21:3 - And I heard a great voice from the throne, saying: Behold the tabernacle of Elohim is with(in) men: and he will dwell (Sukkot) with them. And they shall be his people: and God himself with them shall be their God. (DRB)
1 Corinthians 3:16 - Don’t you know that you that you are the temple of the Living God and that the Spirit of Yahweh dwells in you?
If you Read all these Scriptures, even the ones in the Brit, it will enlighten you and put a fire in and put a fire in you all week long!
Is Yahweh dwelling in YOU?
Ever wondered why Yahweh, Elohim seemed to take a special delight in the sound of a shofar? The shofar is a ram's horn, according to Strong's Dictionary #H7782, it is translated as "trumpet" or “trumpets” 68 out of 72 times in the Old Testament. What does the sounding of the shofar mean for us - the people called to be Torah observant?
…Which is what you are already singing, (Revelation 15:3) and the song of the Lamb. This Rock Yeshua is the Foundation (Ephesians 2:20) and this is the foundation or the Rock to build upon, & this what we are learning in Torah, There is no ‘Salvation’ in any other rock or job or lifestyle; so set your priorities in HIM. Notice in Revelation 21 there are 12 foundations, Jewels, (Rocks) which are the attributes of Yeshua. All 12 of them are in Matthew 5-7, can you find them?? Shalom: You can find and give Spirit and Life in the Living Rock, 1st Corinthians 10:4. You have the Living water and the Bread of Life!
The Covenant was given to Israel, not a church or synagogue, but HIS people-Israel and also those that are not with them on that Day. Who could this be? Covenant is the Exchange of Lifestyles, Yahweh’s Lifestyle. Remember Baal Peor? (Numbers 25:3) This was the Exchange of Lifestyles of the World.
