Sermon on the Mount: Fulfill

Shabbat Shalom Achim (brothers and sisters in Hebrew)

Oftentimes when we read Scripture, we have our own “understanding” based on what was taught to us while we were growing up. Sometimes those ‘understandings” are carried from generation to generation and as a result are taught to many people. The word fulfill in Matthew 5:17 is one of those “understanding’ that many in Christianity have mistakenly thought they understood and taught it to the next generation.

We need to go back to the source, YHWH, and who He is and what He has done for us. When we read the Torah and Prophets with the right foundation then we can understand what Yahushua was referring to when the word fulfill was used in Matthew 5:17. The word “fulfill” was not to fulfill the Torah and Prophets in the sense that Yahushua brought the end to the Torah and Prophets or that He has met all the requirements of the Torah and Prophets. Far from it!

Watch the video and fully understand what Yahushua came to do when He said that He did not come to destroy the Torah or Prophets, He did not come to destroy but to…

יברכך יהוה וישׁמרך׃
יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך׃
ישׂא יהוה פניו אליך וישׂם לך שׁלום׃

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,

Halloween or Fall Festival?

Shabbat Shalom Achim (brothers and sisters in Hebrew)

With the approaching “holy day” of Halloween, Many Christians and Jews still participate in this celebration.  Some of them even try to have “alternate” celebrations to avoid “Halloween”.  They even sell pumpkins and other “Halloween related items”.

Do they realize what they are doing?  Even if they try to do what is “right”, it does not make it right.

Watch the video and learn—then take the right steps in pleasing YHWH, our Elohim, who is the only one!

יברכך יהוה וישׁמרך׃

 יאר יהוה פניו אליך ויחנך׃

ישׂא יהוה פניו אליך וישׂם לך שׁלום׃

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,

Black Fire on White Fire

 

Shabbat Shalom Achim (brothers and sisters in Hebrew);

This is the last Torah Portion of the Torah before we return to the beginning and start anew in Genesis. This portion is where Mosheh blesses Israel and then goes up on Mount Nebo to die.

Many people do not understand the value of Torah and all that pertains to the Torah. The Torah is more than just the black ink on white paper. The Torah is all-encompassing, a gift from Abba our Father to his Children, Israel. We all are invited to be part of that family.

Let us allow YHWH to work within each one of us.

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
