Shoftim/Judges) D’Varim (Deut.) 16-21

Details: Created on Saturday, 14 August 2021 12:34

Torah Portion: Shoftim (Judges) D’Varim (Deut.) 16:18-21:9

Haftorah Reading: Isaiah 51:12-53:12

Messianic Scripture Matthew 5:38-42; Acts 3:13-26; I Timothy 5:17-22

Today I want us to look at a couple of scriptures from our Torah portion this week. Much of my material will come from an article I read this week called, “The Mysterious Prophet” from First Fruits of Zion.

In Deut. 18:15 we read, “The L-rd your G-d will raise to you a prophet from your midst, from your brothers, like me, to him shall you listen.” We need to look also at Deut. 34:9-10 where we see the same promise of a prophet to come whom the L-rd knew face to face. So who is this person, this prophet?

Re’eh (See or Behold) D’Varim (Deut.) 11:26-16:17

Details: Created on Saturday, 07 August 2021 13:32

Torah Portion: Re’eh (See or Behold) D’Varim (Deut.) 11:26-16:17

Haftorah Reading: Isaiah 54:11-55:5

Messianic Scripture I Cor. 5:9-13; I John 4:1-6

Today we look at our Torah portion and find it covering many different topics. It covers the food laws and the three holidays when Israel is to congregate in Jerusalem. We also find the setting up of a central place of worship once the people cross over the Jordan and conquer the land. All these topics point to one central fact, G-d’s people were to be different from those around them. The people were being called to see with spiritual eyes the benefits of being and living as the people of G-d. They were being challenged to see with spiritual eyes the world around them. We have that same challenge today.

Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded) D’Varim (Deut.) 3:23-7:11

Details: Created on Saturday, 24 July 2021 18:20

Torah Portion: Va’etchanan (And I Pleaded) D’Varim (Deut.) 3:23-7:11

Haftorah Reading: Isaiah 40:1-26

Messianic Scripture Matt. 4:1-11,22:33-40; Mark 12:28-34

Today we read the Torah portion, “And I pleaded.” The Haftorah reading is from Isaiah 40:1-26. It is from this reading that this Shabbat is known as the Shabbat of Comfort. The first verse of Isaiah 40 says, “Comfort, yes, comfort My people! Says your G-d.” This statement should speak to all of us today. As believers we have the responsibility to comfort the Jewish people. It should move each of us to do whatever we can to stand up for Israel and to comfort the Jewish people today in an increasingly hostile world.
