Ya'akov - An Inductive Study - Session 9 - Do Not Be Deceived

Ya'akov - An Inductive Study - Session 8-The Path to Sin and Death

Ya'akov-An Inductive Study - Session 7 -The Source of Temptation

A covenant made between two parties has certain expectations of performance. When those expectations are not met the covenant has been broken or breached. When a covenant has been broken there will then be another expectation–consequences.

In this lesson of “Are You Covenanted?”, Rabbi Steve Berkson focuses on the consequences of us breaking our covenant we have made with our Creator.

When we looked at key “prepping” points for the Greater Exodus as children of Sarah, Jerusalem above and temples of the Ruach HaKodesh. We saw the need to:

guard against wickedness entering her house, a temple of the Ruach HaKodesh

pray for her generation (until the Holy One Himself seals our lips)

obey the Covenant, especially assembling on Shabbat and at the feasts, conspicuously holding daily "services" the lost may easily find because they are landmarks

This week, we’ll identify the traits of the warriors of a thousand generations gathering to Jerusalem. Here is our working text:

?Your neck is like the tower of David,

Built with rows of stones

On which are hung a thousand shields,

All the round shields of the mighty men. (So 4:4)

To understand a thousand shields and generations, we look at the First Mention of a thousand:

To Sarah he said, “Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is your vindication before all who are with you, and before all men you are cleared.” (Ge 20:16)

When Avimelekh “redeems” Sarah’s reputation to a thousand generations, the earlier part of the story gives context.

In ancient times, rape was viewed as less permissible than killing the husband and then taking the wife. For this reason, Avraham twice uses the deception "Say you are my sister" to protect himself. In a sense, the serpent “killed” Adam and then had access to Eve, perhaps the source of some strange doctrines pertaining to the serpent and Eve. It is a spiritual metaphor, not a physical relationship. In Sarah, the 1,000 generations were in jeopardy, yet her reputation, which was held captive, was redeemed with 1,000 pieces of silver. In Messiah Yeshua, the serpent killed the Bridegroom, yet he resurrected, zealous with love stronger than the grave.

Once confronted with the plague on his house because he held Sarah unlawfully, Avimelekh seeks to rectify the wrong and clear Sarah's name to lift the plague.

“And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What have you encountered [ra-ah-”seen”], that you have done this thing?” Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God [Yirat Elohim] in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife. Besides, she actually is my sister...” (Ge 20:10-12)

Avraham worried that there was no Yirat Elohim, or fear/reverence of Elohim. This is the seventh spirit of Adonai listed in Isaiah, which Creation Gospel students know quite well! It is the Shabbat spirit. Why does Avraham say "Elohim" instead of "YHVH"? Perhaps it is because he does not think Avimelekh knows the Creator as YHVH, as Pharaoh did not, but probably he was familiar with variations of "El" or "Elohim" as Creator. The important point is that Avraham did not identify any reverence (also translated as fear) of Elohim in Avimelekh's city-state. Where there is no reverence of Adonai, there is little respect for rule of moral law.

It is no accident that Yirat Adonai is connected to Shabbat and the Temple:

“You are awesome [norah, from yareh, ?????? ?????], O God, from Your Sanctuaries.” (Ps 68:35/36)

“From where does the awe of God issue forth if not from the Holy Temple? Thus does it state, ‘My Sabbaths shall you observe, and My Sanctuary shall you fear [tira-u ?????????] (Le 26:2).’” (Shir 4§7)

“This verse indicates that the Sanctuary is sanctified in its destruction just as it was sanctified when it still stood.” (ibid)

Fear of Elohim is what Avraham pointed out was lacking among Avimelekh’s people, who would murder him for access to his wife as the serpent “murdered” Adam to corrupt his children with sin. Just as Adam and Eve (bride and bridegroom) lost their dwelling place in the Garden, so the serpent seeks to prevent the Bride and Bridegroom fr...

Parsha "Vaetchanan" (Deuteronomy 3:23-7:11) might be considered one of the 'most important' in the entire Torah: it includes not only the 'second reading' of the Ten Debaraim/Words/Sayings/Commandments, but also what the Messiah called the Greatest Commandment of all. So, it's certainly "feature packed."

The overview and reading from Erev Shabbat:

But, as Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship points out, there's more still. The Torah portion also includes some of the very most IGNORED verses in the whole Book as well.

And when you compare how Moses laid it out with what Yahushua said in His 'very first public address,' the Sermon on the Mount, the reasons why become clear.

And, as Mark points out, this is a primer on how - and why - we must "rightly divide the Word of Truth." And the midrash might also be called"

"Vaetchanan: The Most Important Commandment in Scripture - and the Most Ignored"

The combined full two-part teaching is here:

This week, I'm going to share a bit of our worship session that we had in Tennessee with some great fellowship. The text comes out of Psalm 66 where David encourages us to Praise our Heavenly Father no matter the circumstances. In fact, praise to our Abba gives us the perspective to see that all challenging situations are being used by our Heavenly Father to teach us something or prepare us for something. Instead of asking, "Why is this happening to me?" we should instead ask, "What am I supposed to learn in this situation?" Our Heavenly Father only has our best in mind as He guides us through the situations of Life! Blessings.

The Daughter of Babylon - Who is the Daughter of Babel?

Originally posted Feb 2020 but I think you'll see that the last 3 1/2 years and continued almost daily events have only served to strengthen the validity of this message which appears even more urgent today than ever.  FULL VIDEO available on our His Word Heals! website.  Is Jeremiah 50 & 51 all about ancient Babylon and was this prophecy of her destruction already fulfilled since Babylon is just a bunch of half rebuilt ruins?  Will the ancient city of Babylon be rebuilt to fulfill the end time Daughter of Babylon prophecies?  Or perhaps is end time Mystery Babylon the Great already in existence just waiting for Jeremiah's prophesied invasion from the North by a multitude of great nations?  Today's program is the second half of our video entitled Mystery Babylon the Great - Daughter of Babylon on our website at www.hiswordheals.com .  If you find this message eye opening and worth considering PLEASE LIKE OUR VIDEO ON YOUTUBE AND SHARE IT ON SOCIAL MEDIA.  PLEASE JOIN WITH US IN SOUNDING THE SHOFAR.
