Are You For Or Against YHWH? (Parashat Balak)

 

Shabbat Shalom Everyone,

By studying what Bil’am (Balaam) did when he was asked to curse Israel and how he was able to get Israel to stumble against YHWH we are able to understand the expectation that YHWH has for His People. By doing anything that is contrary to YHWH is something that we need to avoid. Watch and learn in order to walk in the righteous path of YHWH. WE cannot serve two masters, YHWH and Mammon. So which are you for? YHWH or Mammon?

YHWH will kneel before you presenting gifts and will guard you with a hedge of protection,
YHWH will illuminate the wholeness of his being toward you bringing order and he will beautify you,
YHWH will lift up his wholeness of being and look upon you and he will set in place all you need to be whole and complete (Numbers 6:24-26)

Shalom,

Dirk

Parashat Chukat (Regulation/Decree/Commandment/Statute)

Shabbat Shalom Achim (brothers and sisters in Hebrew)

Today’s this week’s reading is called Parashah Chukat, Numbers 19:1-22:1.  The story of the fiery serpents gives us better understanding of Yeshua and what we are to do in order to do what is good and righteous in YHWH’s eyes.  There are parallels between the Bronze Serpent and Yeshua.   By being apart from YHWH we are dead and by looking and believing in Yeshua we can have everlasting life.

Let this story of Israel and the fiery serpents give you better understanding and wisdom of the awesome grace and mercy that is YHWH.

YHWH will kneel before you presenting gifts and will guard you with a hedge of protection,
YHWH will illuminate the wholeness of his being toward you bringing order and he will beautify you,
YHWH will lift up his wholeness of being and look upon you and he will set in place all you need to be whole and complete (Numbers 6:24-26)

Have a blessed Shabbat

Shalom,

Dirk

Shalom,

This week’s lesson is from Numbers 13:1-15:41. In order to prepare for the future, we must look back to the beginning to understand what happened so that we may do the right thing and not repeat the same mistakes. Because of not being prepared we can fall into unbelief and disobedience. Let us return to the Torah and study so that we can be prepared for the future. With Yahushua Ha Mashiach’s help, it is possible.

YHWH will kneel before you presenting gifts and will guard you with a hedge of protection,
YHWH will illuminate the wholeness of his being toward you bringing order and he will beautify you,
YHWH will lift up his wholeness of being and look upon you and he will set in place all you need to be whole and complete (Numbers 6:24-26)

May you all be blessed,

Shabbat Shalom,

Dirk
