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."
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
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!!
A great in- A great in-depth study of our nature, character and rebellion depth study of our nature, character and rebellion. Take this one to heart, can you work Take this one to heart, can you work with one another, are you part of the Yeshua Code, with one another, are you part of the Yeshua Code, the Yeshua factor, to “Be One”??
Rahab, a picture of Faith or fear? We have a 2nd set of spies that walk in faith. They also give a prostitute salvation/Yeshua. Notice the red cord—what does this represent? How did all of Jericho crash down and yet Rahab and her house were saved? (Faith?)
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.
