What the Hell is Going On !!!

http://conpats.blogspot.com/2017/03/chuck-kolb-03092017.html


Welcome to Tetzaveh (You Command), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
This Shabbat is one of four special Shabbatim preceding Pesach (Passover): Shabbat Zachor (Remember).
 Since this Shabbat falls before Purim (Feast of Lots), it has a special Maftir and Haftarah reading. 
Please read with us these portions of God’s word that will be heard in synagogues
around the world during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service.  We know you will be blessed!


In last week’s Torah reading, God instructed Moses and the Israelites to construct a Tabernacle (Mishkan) in the wilderness.
 
This week, God commands them to bring pure olive oil for the lamp, and to create holy garments for the priests (cohanim).

You can view this Parasha on our website complete with embedded links ...

Weekly Torah Portion: Tetzaveh

"It's a bird, it's a plane..." no, it's just the Kohen Gadol, ordinary mortal but super-hero, nonetheless, serving G-d in the Holy Temple. With the powers vested in his priestly vestments, the integrity which fills his heart and his unfettered love for his brethren and for all humanity, the kohen serving beside the altar in the Holy Temple is the embodiment of every virtue and act of courage portrayed by modern fictional super heroes.

Tetzaveh (Exodus 27:20 - 30:10)
Parashat Tetzaveh is read on Shabbat:

David “King” Friedman Approved As Ambassador to Israel
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

David Friedman, President Trump’s nominee for US Ambassador to Israel, was approved on Thursday by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Friedman, a lawyer, is an outspoken supporter of Israel. The vote reflected party affiliations, with all 11 Republicans supporting Friedman’s nomination, while New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez was the only Democrat to vote for Friedman. Friedman was grilled by the committee for his harsh public statements against former President Obama, who he called a “blatant anti-Semite” for his deal with Iran that removed sanctions while allowing them to continue their nuclear program. He also referred to J Street, the extreme left-wing Jewish group, as “Kapos”,
Jews who helped the Nazis in World War II. [...]

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION

INTO THE FRAY: Liberman - A dove in hawk’s feathers ? 
by Martin Sherman

... The return to reticence? Indeed, apart from a few short-lived declarations of pseudo-resolve in the immediate wake of the changing of the guard at the White House, the Israeli leadership seems to have slipped back into its compliant pre-election mode of reticent hesitancy regarding the future of Judea-Samaria. Instead of seizing the moment and presenting the incoming administration with a new robust and assertive policy blueprint, the Israeli government hummed and hawed, essentially receding back to positions not very different from those it adopted under the Obama-administration.

Major secular Jewish groups have embraced the antisemites' false defense

... As has been widely reported, a mob of leftist students prevented Murray from speaking. They shouted him down with a stream of epithets that went on without interruption, until Murray and Stanger were spirited out of the lecture hall. They were brought to another location where they carried out their conversation in front of a camera that was livestreaming to students blocked by the mob from hearing them in person. The mob followed them to the new location and rioted outside the room as they spoke. The rioters assaulted them as they made their way from the second location to their car. They hurt Stanger in the neck. [...]

Command [Tetzaveh] the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning. 
Exodus 27:20



Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Tetzaveh - the Beauty of Holiness !!!





Reading from the Torah scroll using a silver yad (Torah pointer, literally, hand)
  
Shabbat Shalom !
 
Welcome to Tetzaveh (You Command),
this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
 
This Shabbat is one of four special Shabbatim preceding Pesach (Passover): Shabbat Zachor (Remember).
 
Since this Shabbat falls before Purim (Feast of Lots), it has a special Maftir and Haftarah reading.  Please read with us these portions of God’s word that will be heard in synagogues around the world during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service.  We know you will be blessed!
 
TETZAVEH (You shall Command)
Exodus 27:20–30:10; 1 Samuel 15:1–34; 1 Peter 2:1–25; Maftir Deuteronomy 25:17–19
 
“Command [Tetzaveh] the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning.”  (Exodus 27:20)
 
In last week’s Torah reading, God instructed Moses and the Israelites to construct a Tabernacle (Mishkan) in the wilderness.
 
This week, God commands them to bring pure olive oil for the lamp, and to create holy garments for the priests (cohanim).
 

This gold Menorah, created by The Temple Institute, is similar to the one
used in ancient times in the Holy Temple and will be consecrated for use
in the next Temple.
 
The Role of Beauty and Splendor in Serving God
“These are the garments they are to make: a breastpiece, an ephod, a robe, a woven tunic, a turban and a sash.  They are to make these sacred garments for your brother Aaron and his sons, so they may serve Me as priests.”  (Exodus 28:4)
 
In this Parasha, sacred garments are to be made for the priests so they can serve God.
 
One of them is the breastplate of judgment (Choshen Hamishpat).
 
The breastplate is associated with the Urim and Thummim, and they are used for divining the will of the Lord.
 
The priestly breastplate was made of embroidered linen sized and shaped into a square cubit.  It contained four rows, each with three precious gems embedded within the plate and surrounded with gold.  
 
Each jewel in the priest’s breastplate represented one of the twelve tribes of Israel, whose names were engraved upon the stones.  God would use the individual letters of these names to spell out His judgments for Israel when the Urim was used to consult Him.
 
"He is to stand before Eleazar the priest, who will obtain decisions for him by inquiring of the Urim before the LORD.  At his command he and the entire community of the Israelites will go out, and at his command they will come in."  (Numbers 27:21)
 

This stained glass window depicts the
Kohen Gadol (High Priest) and the priestly
garments.  (photo by Andreas Franz Borchert)
 
In the Brit Chadashah (New Testament), John describes his vision of the New Jerusalem, in which the foundation stones of the city walls are adorned with 12 gems.  Some, if not all, of these gems are also in the breastplate.
 
Some of the stones’ true identities may have been lost, since the Hebrew and Greek cultures shared no definitive gem names, especially during the 1,000 years between the writing of 1 Samuel and the Book of Revelation:
 
“The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone.  The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald; the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.”  (Revelation 21:19–20)
 
There are over 30 different opinions concerning the identification of the breastplate stones in rabbinical literature and tradition.  (Temple Institute)

Valley for over 3,000 years.
 
What we see in the description of the Breastplate and New Jerusalem is that God considers beauty to be glorifying as we serve Him on earth and in Heaven, where we will one day be surrounded by the brilliant splendor of streets paved with gold and divinely cut jewels embedded in foundations.
 
God also considers certain colors and material important and glorifying in service to Him.
 
“You shall make holy garments for Aaron your brother, for glory and for beauty."  (Exodus 28:2)
 
The ephod, or garment underneath the breastplate, was made out of fine linen and woven out of gold, blue, purple and scarlet threads.  Although a priestly garment, it seems that King David wore it as well when he brought back the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem.
 
“Now David was clothed with a robe of fine linen with all the Levites who were carrying the ark, and the singers and Chenaniah the leader of the singing with the singers.  David also wore an ephod of linen.” 
(1 Chronicles 15:27; see also 2 Samuel 6:14)

Serving God in the Beauty of Holiness
Everything God creates in His physical world helps us understand His spiritual world.  The use of physical gems on the breastplate of the Kohen Gadol is no different. 
 
Since these stones represent the 12 tribes, and the breastplate is connected with discovering the will of God, the stones represent how precious Israel is to the Lord and His desire to lead them into His will.
 
The precious stones embedded in the foundations of the New Jerusalem also represent the 12 tribes. From this we can understand the continued importance of Israel in the Messianic Age.
 
All Believers in Yeshua play a significant role, as well.  Scripture says that we are a holy priesthood and living stones, a spiritual house through Yeshua the Messiah:
 
“And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God, you also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Messiah Yeshua."  (1 Peter 2:4–5)
 
Like a precious jewel, precisely cut, shaped and polished by a master lapidary, we each have the ability to uniquely reflect the beauty and glory of God's Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) as we serve Him.
 
When we fulfill that destiny, we take our place in a spiritual house, whose cornerstone—the One who holds it all together—is, of course, Yeshua HaMashiach.
 
“Behold, I lay in Zion a choice stone, a precious corner stone, and he who believes in Him will not be disappointed.”  (1 Peter 2:6)

Parasha Zachor  
Because this Shabbat falls before Purim (Lots), a special reading from Deuteronomy 25:17–19 is studied in addition to the regular Scripture portion.  
This Shabbat is also called the Zachor (Remembrance) reading, because it details God’s command that we remember the wickedness of Amalek:
 
“Remember what Amalek did to you on the road, on your way out of Egypt.
 
“That he encountered you on the way and cut off those lagging to your rear, when you were tired and exhausted; he did not fear God.
 
“And it shall come to pass, when the Lord your God has given you rest from all your enemies round about, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall obliterate the memory of Amalek from under the heavens.  Do not forget.”
 
These Scriptures to remember Amalek are read on the Sabbath before Purim—which celebrates Esther’s victory in helping to save the Jewish People from annihilation in Persia.
 
Why do we read them now?  Because the one who plotted the annihilation, the anti-Semite Haman, is believed to be a descendant of Amalek.  We must remember what he did as well.
 
This Shabbat is, therefore, also called Shabbat Zachor (Shabbat of Remembrance), and is one four special readings before Passover.

Haftarah Zachor: The Aftermath of Disobedience  
“Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.”  (1 Samuel 15:3)
 
In Haftarah Zachor (1 Samuel 15:1–34), God remembers the Amalekites and tells Saul through the Prophet Samuel (Shmuel HaNavi) that He is going to punish them for fighting Israel after they left Egypt.  Saul, therefore, is to utterly obliterate the memory of the Amalekites.
 
Although Saul does destroy the Amalekites and everything considered useless, he spares King Agag and keeps the best of the sheep and oxen and everything considered valuable.
 
Saul defends his disobedience by saying that he kept the best of Amalek for a sacrifice to the Lord.  Nevertheless, God sees through his so-called "good intentions," and Samuel rebukes Saul's defiance with a word from the Lord:
 
“Does the Lord delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as much as in obeying the Lord?  To obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed is better than the fat of rams.
 
"For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry.  Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, He has rejected you as king.”  (1 Samuel 15:22–23)
 

Saul Reproved by Samuel, by John Singleton Copley
 
Saul's misplaced mercy in keeping King Agag alive almost wiped out the Jewish People.
 
According to commentaries, Agag impregnated a maidservant before his death and, therefore, the Amalekite lineage survived.  Haman, who is called the “Agagi,” was his offspring.
 
Through Haman, Amalek once again tried to destroy the Jewish People.
 
Though murder is abhorrent to the Jewish People and all followers of Yeshua, God is utterly committed to the survival of His people, and He will do whatever is necessary to ensure their future.
 
Remembering Agag and Haman reminds us that our own disobedience can negatively affect those whom God loves, long after we are gone.  Let us, therefore, set our hearts on being obedient, rather than simply doing what seems best at the time.

Amalek Lives On  
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.  Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.  For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.”  (Ephesians 6:10–12)
 
Amalek represents all evil forces throughout history trying to stop God’s plan.  It is the opposite of everything beautiful and glorifying to God.
 
It still exists today as an anti-Messiah spirit that does not fear God, and despises God’s people with a venomous hatred. 
 
The spirit of Amalek is against Israel.
 
We see this same spirit active within the fundamentalist Jihadi Islamic factions whose sole aim is to kill and destroy Christians and Jews once and for all time—that is the foundational ideology of Islamic scriptures.

What is the only way to defeat the spirit of Amalek?  Zachor—remember.  
 
We must never forget what the spirit of Amalek has done to the Jewish People over the past 3,000 years—as expressed in the slogan for Holocaust Remembrance Day—“Never Forget.”
 
Even as the last of the Holocaust Survivors become elderly and pass away, the remembrance of the horrors of the Holocaust that the spirit of Amalek committed against God’s people through the Nazis must never be forgotten.
 
We must always remember and never forget that we have an enemy who seeks to steal, kill, and destroy; therefore, we must be continually on the alert and wear our spiritual armor daily.
 
God's will is that we not be defeated, but that we live victorious, abundant, and joyous lives through Yeshua, empowered by the Ruach HaKodesh.
 
“The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.”  (John 10:10)
 
 
In these troubled last days, as the spirit of Amalek once again tries to destroy Israel, please pray for the salvation of the Jewish People and help us bring the Good News of Yeshua to the Holy Land.
 
"I will strengthen Judah and save the tribes of Joseph.  I will restore them because I have compassion on them.  They will be as though I had not rejected them, for I am the LORD their God and I will answer them."  (Zechariah 10:6)

"The LORD their God will save His people on that day as a shepherd saves his flock.  They will sparkle in his land like jewels in a crown."  
(Zechariah 9:16)

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.

Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
