A Pinnacle of the Temple

I had always wondered as a child what was the pinnacle of the temple.  I guess I had thought it looked like a steeple. I know, kinda stupid.  But this Torah Portion in the Brit Hadasha took us to Matthew 4:5 where the devil takes Yeshua up to the Holy City Jerusalem and setteth Him on a Pinnacle of the Temple.  Well, there it is, a Pinnacle of the Temple. 

Shalom!!!

Difficult Verses

Passion For Truth Ministries has done a great job of explaining difficult verses.  Check it out here.  Like 1 Timothy 4:1-5 about Forbidding Marriage and Abstaining from Certain Foods to Wrestling with the Words of Paul.  Maybe it will help you get a better understanding instead of what we were all taught in church. 

Shalom!!!

Forgetting Adonai

Deu 8:11 "Beware that thou forget not the YHWH thy Elohim, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day:"

Interesting that Moses tells the Israelites that He says that forgetting YHWH is equated with not keeping His Torah!  Hmmm!

Let us not forget Him and love Him as He has loved us. He is faithful to His Covenant as we should be also. 

Shalom!!!

800yr Old Jewish Toilet Found in Germany

This is kinda funny.  Ancient Jewish toilet found in Germany.  It was found in December 2011 and is probably the oldest Jewish toilet ever found.  You can read the whole article at Aliyah Magazine.

Inscription says, “This is the window through which feces are going to get out.” 

Recompense Before Reward

Isa 40:10 "Behold, the Lord GOD will come with strong hand, and his arm shall rule for him: behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him."

 

Isaiah 40:10 states that Adonai will come with reward (for righteousness) and recompense (for unrighteousness). The recompense comes BEFORE the reward! In the Torah portion, recompense (the plague) came before the reward (land inheritance).

 A correction to Am Yisrael's behavior in the incident with Moab/Midyan in Numbers 25. In other words, the judgment of Am Yisrael, the plague and correction (Numbers 26:1-30:17) needed to occur before He was able to use them as instruments of His righteous indignation. How could He use a sinful Israel to judge the heathen.


It had always been Adonai's plan to judge the nations of Canaan because of their sin. This is clearly taught in Genesis 15:13-16. What was not revealed previously was that Am Yisrael would be the instruments of His wrath. Considering Adonai is judging the nations of Canaan because of their multitude of sins, would it be appropriate for Him to judge them with Israel if Israel is just as sinful? Of course not. Therefore, the judgment against Midyan will not occur until Adonai first cleans up Israel.

Scripture states that judgment begins in the Adonai's house first. Then he deals with the sinners.

1Pe 4:17 "For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of Elohim: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?" 

I believe Peter is quoting from Ezekiel.

Eze 9:3-6 "And the glory of the Elohim of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side; And the YHWH said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof. And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity: Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house."
He began at the Sanctuary.  He is getting His house in order.  Can we not see that is what He is doing this day?   We need to get our house in order. 

Shalom!!!
