News and commentary for Monday, 15 April, 2024.

In one of his letters to the Corinthians Paul talks about the cup that Yeshua gave to his disciples and said, this is my blood of the renewed covenant. (1 Cor 11:25) Why was Paul talking about this cup? What does it have to do with the covenant? What was the issue in his congregation?

What does “immersed into Mosheh (Moses)” mean?

To get to the understanding of 1 Corinthians 11: 25, Rabbi Steve Berkson backs up to chapter 10 in order to gain the contextual framing necessary to understand the real meaning of that one verse, as Paul intended for his congregation.

Getting Stoned

Biblically, that is.

Torah contains many commandments. Some of those are positive, "you shalls," and some are negative, "you shall nots." Most frequently, the negative commandments carry tangible punishments such as restitution, whiplashes, hanging, or even stoning. Sometimes no punishment is prescribed, or a vague phrase, "he shall be cut off from his people." It has been speculated to be banishment or shunning, and some sources say this is a Divine punishment, not a human one.

Let's take a closer look at stoneable offenses, which will help us to understand a Divine punishment in John's Revelation.

“You shall also say to the sons of Israel: ‘Any man from the sons of Israel or from the aliens sojourning in Israel who gives any of his offspring to Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of the land shall stone him with stones.’” (Le 20:2)

“Now a man or a woman who is a medium or a spiritist shall surely be put to death. They shall be stoned with stones, their bloodguiltiness is upon them.” (Le 20:27)

“Moreover, the one who blasphemes the name of the LORD shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him. The alien as well as the native, when he blasphemes the Name, shall be put to death….Then Moses spoke to the sons of Israel, and they brought the one who had cursed outside the camp and stoned him with stones. Thus the sons of Israel did, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.” (Le 24:16, 23)

“Now while the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering wood on the sabbath day…Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘The man shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.’ So all the congregation brought him outside the camp and stoned him to death with stones, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.” (Nu 15:32-36)

Idolatry, dark arts, blasphemy, and desecration of the Shabbat are the most explicit of the commandments that carry a death penalty of stoning. An additional commandment against adultery is linked to idolatry:

Thus they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women. But they, righteous men, will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands. ‘For thus says the Lord GOD, ‘Bring up a company against them and give them over to terror and plunder. The company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords; they will slay their sons and their daughters and burn their houses with fire. Thus I will make lewdness cease from the land, that all women may be admonished and not commit lewdness as you have done. Your lewdness will be requited upon you, and you will bear the penalty of worshiping your idols; thus you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’” (Ezekiel 23:44-49)

The Ezekiel passage is addressed to two nations in their state of apostasy, Oholah (Northern tribes of Israel) and Oholibah (Judah). They are also called mystically "Babylon" and "Egypt" because they carried with them the adulteries/idolatries of Egypt and Babylon and continued to practice them. Their example was a message to other "women," or nations.

The vital transition in Revelation is that first Israel is warned through the "moedic memos" to the Seven Assemblies of Revelation. Next, those nations from which they carried the adulterous idolatries are judged. The smaller to greater pattern may also be seen in Zechariah 14:17 when he prophesies that the commandment that initially was specific to Israel of going up to Jerusalem for the foot festivals of Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot will extend to the other nations in the millenniu...

With this episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, we will speak with Barrie Schwortz who was the Official Documenting Photographer for the Shroud of Turin Science Team in 1978. Barrie Schwortz will speak with us about the Shroud as evidenced by his extensive professional photography background.

Barrie had been asked to join the Shroud of Turin Science team back in 1978 due to his extensive professional work with the Los Alamos Laboratory, scientifically analyzing films and photos of U.S. Government atomic bomb blasts.

Join us now as we learn a little something about the life of Barrie Schwortz and about the knowledge that he gained in working with the Shroud of Turin science experts, and what they learned and discovered about this ancient cloth.

This is PART 1 of the interview, Real Israel Talk Radio Episode 148.

Genesis 123 Foundation and Bridge Connector Ministries are partnering together to launch a Global Day of Prayer for Israel on May 15, 2024.  May 15 is the day on the secular calendar in 1948 on which Israel achieved independence. Israel’s enemies call it the “Nakba,” or Catastrophe. They speak of Israel’s very existence as a “catastrophe”. Join us as we bring a massive and powerful force for good, beseeching God: *to protect Israel and that the IDF should be safe and victorious, *that ALL the hostages will be rescued/released immediately, and *that God will change the hearts of Israel’s enemies. You can be part of an international powerhouse of Jews and Christians flooding God’s inbox as we pray together for Israel. Learn more!

Audio reading: Ex 33:12-23, Luke 9:51-10:12, Psalm 74:1-23, Prov 12:11

Here's another one of those paraschot that just seems to be SO "old testament," and that has perhaps even been used as a poster child for "done away with." After all, it's a 'disease' that hasn't been seen for centuries, except in a few Bible movies, and isn't really "leprosy" at all, anyway. So who cares?

Which is why Mark suggests we ought to!

Parsha "Tazria" (Leviticus chapters 12 through 13) also at least has something to do with the 'eighth day,' when an infant male child is to be circumcised. But it also comes from a section that is 'politically incorrect,' in a world that so hates His Word, and then introduces a concept that might be even more "out of favor."

The Erev Shabbat reading lays out all the sordid details:

https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/SSM-4-12-24-Tazria-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3

The sages suggest that a person being overcome by the malady of 'tzaraat' and exiled outside of the camp was a sort of testimony that Elohim Himself was publicly pointing out that individual's wrongdoing.

Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship has suggested in the past that perhaps the "NOT-leprosy" that is described in Scripture, but has not actually been SEEN in centuries might in some ways thus be a type of 'blessing' for His people, in that the 'evil tongue' might be revealed for what it is, while repentance is still possible.

Such detail about a 'plague' that probably hasn't been seen anywhere on the planet for over a thousand years. And if the 'evil tongue' of lashon hora is the proximate cause - you have to wonder why it isn't more common in today's world of "calling evil good," and vice-versa, than ever.

So why no more? And why not - especially - in a time when truly reprobate "leaders" give a whole new understanding to the term "evil tongue," or lashon hora.. don't we "unclean, unclean" as bumper music for every fake newscast?

Tazria: Why? They Have NO Shame!"

The combined two-part teaching is here:

This week we will look at a Psalm that isn't in the book of Psalms. Habakkuk 3 starts out by calling it a prayer or song, and then uses the formats and style of the Psalms of David. This Psalm ends by asking it to be given to the singers and instrumentalists for the worship in the temple. Within the words of this Psalm is a message of hope and confirmation that our Heavenly Father will never leave us or forsake us no matter what things look like surrounding us. We are called upon to stay true to Him and His promises.

The Song of Moses, the Song of the Lamb & the New Song

We know that the Song of Moses is found in Deuteronomy, but where can we find the Song of the Lamb?  How about the New Song that can only be learned by the 144,000?  Are there clues in scripture as to what the New Song will be?  What might we learn ABOUT the singers of these songs with regard to their whereabouts (during the tribulation and wrath) from the songs they sing?  You might be surprised!  This is part 2 of a 2 part introductory series.  Then we plan to dig into the details of the New Song & 144,000 that sing it!  Visit www.HisWordHeals.com/blog for part 1 of this message and more messages like this one.  You can also sign up for email updates letting you know each time a new message is available.  Blessings in Y'shua Messiah!
