Torah Parashah Chukat ~
B’Midbar 19:1-22:1 RSTNE
p 122
- Red Heifer sacrifice - (We have
done many teachings about this being the
prophecy of Messiah!) :)
- Clean and unclean rules
-
Water from the rock
-
Death of Aharon
-
Isra’el destroyed the
Kanaanites
-
Isra’el became negative and
spoke against Moshe - YHWH sent "fiery serpents" - and many died.
-
Isra’el repented and Moshe
put serpent on pole and those who looked at it were healed.
** The word “serpent” here in 21:8
is supplied/ added. It was the Hebrew word - seraph = YHWH’s fiery attendant
of His alter. Shin -resh - pey. Moshe lifted up a seraph of brass which goes
back to the first mention in Sh’mot (Exodus) 4:3 - same word that is translated as “bronze” -
also in Yeshayahu (Isaiah) 6:2.
-
Isra’el asked to pass
through Sichon the melech (king) of the Amorites .... but he said they could
not... so Isra’el destroyed them and
took all the cities

Brad Scott’s B’re’shiyt teaching -
our # 45 :)
Page 52 in Study Guide
B’re’shiyt 1:20
“Vay-yo’mer Elohiym yishe’re’tzu ham-mayim sheretz nephesh chay-yah. Ve’oph
oe’opheph ‘al-ha’aretz ‘al-pe’ney
re’qiy’a hash-shamayim.”
“And said Elohiym let swarm the waters
with swarmers soul living. And birds let
fly around above the earth on the face in the firmament of the heavens.”
“And Elohiym said, Let the mayim bring
out abundantly the moving creatures that have chayim, and fowl that may fly
above the earth in the open firmament of the shamayim.”
**
Review:
Vay-yo’mer = “and said”
Elohiym = “the Great One”
Yishe’re’tzu = Shin-Resh-Tzad
= “to bring forth in great
numbers; teaming, swarm
Root = “sharatz” - speaks of all the
life under the waters - the
clean and the unclean.
= with swarmers - swarmers swarming... with swarmers soul living.
Nephesh = to be refreshed, soul, creature, life, lust,
selves, person, heart
**
3 Dimensions -
example :
1. Plants (first dimension) - have life... plant life. Plants are in ground in order to sustain our
life.
2. Animals (second dimension) - have a nephesh and life. - They can reproduce after themselves and do
things the plans can not.
3.
Mankind (third
dimension - height, width, and depth) - YHWH breathed His Spirit into man.

End of Review:
p 53 in study
guide...
chay-yah= living
root = chet- yod- hey
=to
live, active, vital: life, beast, raw, congregation, running, moving and reproducing
B’re’shiyt 1:25; 2:9
Miz’mor 68:11;
Vay-yiq’ra 13:10;
14:5
Brad writes:
“Elohiym is
commanding to bring forth in great numbers, active and vital creatures.”
ve’oph = ayin-peh
= ‘oph: to be lifted up: flying, fly fowl, bird
ve’opheph : flying around (birds)
-
literally -
flying souls flying around
Again - a
doublet a double word in Hebrew... of
flying things flying around...
zepor is the hebrew word for BIRD...
but ve’oph is not ...
It is really speaking
of everything that lifts up off of the earth and flies around....
Brad says...
P’tanon in Greek
which is translated as birds and fowl and flying around.
the root meanings of
that word all incompas that idea of fowl and flying around.
But in Hebrew there
are 2 different words... a distinction between something that just flies and
something that is technically a bird, and really is only translated as this in
the bible... Sometimes it will mean a bird
and sometimes it will mean a flying around thing that is not a bird...
Brad says...
“All materials
necessary for animal life: water, air,
light, plants, and even chemical materials in the earth are put into place
before soulish life. It is very clear
that Elohiym did not make single-celled creatures first, but creatures already
swarming and flying and distinct from one another.” :)
Brad goes on to
say.... back to chayah....
chay-yah= living
root = chet- yod- hey
=to
live, active, vital: life, beast, raw, congregation, running, moving and reproducing
Chay-yah often
translated as = life = actively moving and reproducing after itself....
The Word says..like
kind producing like kind. - “and this
continues life.”
“However if you step
out of that and combine things together than shouldn’t be - then you are going
to start the process of DEATH.”
“and that is why YHWH
said don’t eat from the tree of the da’at of tov and ra - because that starts
the process of death -
- b/c life is found in things
reproducing after themselves...”
In Modern Hebrew -
“the soul” - which is part of your life.. the moving, the refreshed... in
Modern Hebrew - a fan is called a nephah - the breathy thing the fan does.
Examples
B’re’shiyt 1:25 - the
life of the man
2:9 - tree of Chay-yah = etz chay-yah - a REAL TREE...
Remember YHWH started
with the things in the natural to teach us the spiritual.
“Man’s life is
sustained by the etz chay-yah... the tree of life .... by things that come off of that tree... things
that come out of the ground sustains man - who came out of the ground... that
is why we should focus on putting into our bodies - things that come out of the
ground - not synthetic things that are produced in a labratory”
“Evolution teaches
that man came through chemical ways - so
if we came from chemicals - then it is only natural that if we came from
chemicals -
-- then we should
treat our maladys / diseases - with chemicals!”
... THAT is the problem!!
YHWH already has
given us things from the ground to cause us to live abundantly
chay-yah - also obeys
the the pattern of like kind producing after like kind...
so physical life
produces physical life
Brad goes on and
says....
“Eternal life with
YHWH can only come from YHWH...
Brad says...
“Now that the seed of
the etz chay-yah has been removed from man and therefore he is only living by
the tree of the knowledge of good and evil
and therefore man
doesn’t the life of YHWH in him so he can’t produce the life of YHWH (eternal
life).
So this means... man
must be given salvation/ eternal life -
as a gift from YHWH.”
“Eternal life has to
come from Yah.”
Yochanan (John)
17:3 RSTNE p 772
“And this is eternal chayim, that
they might know You, the only emet Eloah
and Y’shua ha Moshiach, whom You have sent.”
Life only comes in
physical from a seed having to meet with an egg
-and they become one
and then you have the ability to reproduce life...
This is done in
various ways in plants and animals and humans
but the point is....
YHWH uses the concept of seed to describe this.
so... the spermata of
man combined with the egg of the woman - when they come together the best they
can produce is: what is in the egg and what is in the sperm...
However the seed that
YHWH is talking about is the WORD of YHWH
-
and that only
comes from Him and that is Spirit.
-
Remember Yochanan
says... “MY words are Spirit and my Word is life”
Yochanan (John)
6:63 RSTNE p 761
“It is the Ruach that makes alife: the
flesh profits nothing: the words that I speak to you, they are Ruach, and they
are chayim.”
From the Greek :
Zoe
Zoea - both come from
Chay-yah
In the Greek - there
are other words that repreent life = bios..
~~
So back to B’re’shiyt
1:20....
so Yah is commanding
to bring forth in great numbers - active and vital creatures in the ocean/seas.
Rememmber that those
creatures, later are going to represent you and I symbollically as fish in the
sea...
(B’re’shiyt 48 -
“fish” - “fishers of men”)
~~~**
Let’s look at
B’re’shiyt 48 about the fish.... because we need to be sure we have this...
Let’s turn to B’re’shiyt 48: 16 RSTNE p 46
“The Malach (angel) who redeemed me
from all evil, bless the lads; and let my name - Yisra’el be named on them, and the
name of my ahvot Avraham and Yitzchak; and let them grow into a multitude like fish - vai-dag-oo lerov in the midst of the earth.”
bless the lads = refers to teeming fish
a multitude like
fish - vai-dag-oo lerov = again -
teeming fish
B’re’shiyt 48: 19
“And his abba refused, and said, I
know it, my son, I know it: he also
shall become a people, and he also shall be great: but truly his younger brother shall be
greater than him and his zera shall become the fullness of the gentile nations - melo ha-goyim.”
a multitude like
fish - vai-dag-oo lerov = this is
about the teeming fish.
This word is used
again ONLY in Romans 11:25.
Romans 11:25 RSTNE p 847
“ For I would not Yisra’elite
brothers, that you should be ignorant of this mysterious secret, let you should
be wise in your own pride and conceit; that partial blindness has happened to
Yisra’el until the fullness of the nations - the melo hagoyim - comes in.”
~
Wow!
No wonder Y’shua said
something i never understood...
Mattityahu
(Matthew) 4:19 RSTNE p 679
“And He (Y’shua) said to them, Follow
Me and I will make you fishers of men.”
He was referring to
Torah of B’re’shiyt 48!
**
B’re’shiyt 1:20 is
about the birds of the air and the fish of the sea...
Next time we will be
ready for B’re’shiyt 1:21
study guide page 54
-
we even get to
“sea monsters”...
*** ** ** **
Let’s go to
“Guardian Angel” by Skip Moen #5 teaching
Understanding the
role of male and female according to HEBREW.
Let’s review just a
bit:
B’re’shiyt
2:16-17
We learned about “freely eat” or
better translated “eat - eat”
In Hebrew = “achol
tochel” which is really “achol achol” - which is DELIGHT with NO lack -
compelte and utter satisfaction.
We also learned about “surely die” or
better translated “die-die”
In Hebrew = “mot
tomut” - which is compete insufficiency and lack. Empty.
Then we learned in B’re’shiyt 2:18 - Helper = Ezer Kinegdo
“Ezer” = “helper”
“kinegdo” = “as in
front of him”
“It is not Adam’s
productive energy that needs assistance.
It is his faithfulness to YHWH’s instruction. He needs a protector, encourager, and spiritual director. He needs someone assigned to keep him on the
straight and narrow. He needs one who
comes alongside for the express purpose of guiding his obedience.”
Her role is the role
of priest and spiritual guide for Adam!”
~~**
So today we are
starting with what Moen calls:
“The parade” - B’re’shiyt 2:19-20
YHWH makes the
animals and “parades” them to Adam where he names them.
What if the parade
was an “educational lesson”
YHWH understood that
it was not good for man to be alone - but man didn’t know it.
Adam had to discover
for himself that he had no ezer kenegdo.
We know animals were
used and still are used to “help” man... albeit less and less) but this is not
what is missing...
Moen says that
“Adam didn’t lack conversational
companionship, psychological interaction or purpose...”
Let’s ask some
questions...
“What was it that
Adam had to discover that could not be provided among the animals and could not
be found in a relationship with YHWH?”
“Why was it necessary
for Adam to discover this fact on his own?”
“Why didn’t YHWH just
build Chavah (Eve) and present her as His gift?”
**These are difficult
and dangerous questions (Moen says).
Difficult because
they force us to reconsider the FAMILIAR story.
We might actually
have to READ what it says.
Dangers because they
call into question many of our preconceived notions about the story of Gan
Eden.
*
Adam needs to figure
out on his own that there is no creature UNDER his authority that is suitable
for him.
When YHWH assigned
Adam the job of naming the animals... HE was showing Adam that he was in charge
of those things. - They were all UNDER
his authority.
Adam names them all
and in the process - discovers there is nothing like him - UNDER him.
So through the
“Parade”, if you will, Adam learns there is nothing like him - under him.
B’re’shiyt
2:21-23
Adam’s ezer is not found in the
“parade”... She actually comes FROM him.
If she comes from Him, she can not be UNDER him.
She is exacty equal
to him - that is why Adam says...
B’re’shiyt 2:23 “And Ahdahm
said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called ISHA (woman) because she
was taken out of ISH (man).” (woman and man
= Hebrew interlinear English translation.)
There is no sign of
hierarchy here.
Moen says - we need
to remember this when we read Shaul’s letters.
Shaul was perhaps the
greatest Hebrew scholar - and when he talks about the “head” - the Greek -
“kephale” it must be consistanat with Torah’s description of this relationship!
“Since these words in
Torah are the basis of Shaul’s argument we must know precisely what the Torah
says.
The text tells us
Chavvah is NOT built UNDER Adam’s authority.
Even Adam acknowledges her equality folling their sin.
She is taken
FROM HIM to emphasize the fact that her very substance is EQUAL with him.”
*
Moen says it is very
important - to understand that the differece between animals and human beings.
Evolution will say -
we are just a higher evolved animal!....
But the WORD
says - YHWH made Adam
from the ground - not from animals.
AND then YHWH gives
man His (YHWH’s) own breath/ RUACH / SPIRIT.
So this means - that
“man” is the only part of creation with “a built in bond between heaven and
earth”.
- The only part of
creation “connected” with YHWH.... through is Ruach!
Moen is referring
back to what we talked about earlier as “being human”.
“To be human is to
recognize, nourish and exhibit this dual relationship.”
Remember, he said
earlier - that if we are not DOING YHWH’s instructions - we are not human....
... NOw he is saying
“to be human is to recognize, nourish and exhibit this dual relationship.”
*
Moen makes another
point about Chavvah’s origin from Adam - as this “sets the stage for the
biblical view of human sexuality.”
YHWH created animals
- and it is ovbious that they were created with gender...
But yet, YHWH SAYS
that he created male and female “man” with gender....
Why???
Moes asks..
“Why not just say,
like the animals, that man was created after his kind.”
The Bible
specifies gender of MAN for 2 reasons:
1. Sex is sacred
It is not like the reproductive
instinct of animals - it has a spiritual component to it, that moves it beyond
just reproduction.
There is something special - it is a
gift from YHWH.
Cultural circumstance
provide another reason that the Word emphasizes the gender creation of human
beings.
~
{Interesting that i
am teaching this the day after the Law of the Land for all 50 of these United
States - was just changed to now “marriage” is legal betwen gay and lesbian
couples.
You know what bothers
me the most of all this... Marraige was created by YHWH. They should call it something else - b/c HE
designed marriage...and that is between one man and one woman.... and HE makes
it very clear that anything else is an abomination to Him. So to me - they can
make it legal in the land -albeit an abomination - but they should call it
something else!!!! - calling it something else doesn’t make it less than an
abomination - it is just the principle of the whole mess.}
~
In the beginning of
Yisra’el -when B’re’shity was written -
most religious explanations of the beginning of the world suggested that the
creation of the world was the result of the sexual activity of the “gods”.
~~
Let me interrupt this
with - Who /what do we know about the gods?
=They are demons that
fell from heaven... they are not just some made up stories.
~~
The idea that sexual
relations of man came from the gods... implies that human sexual activity is an
imitation of “divine sexual activity”.
“The fertility cults
that surrounded Isra’el practiced ritual sexual activity as part of worship of
these divine sexual beings.”
The Word/ Torah
“absolutely rejects any such explanation.”
“Sex is created. It is not a reflection of the gender of
YHWH. He is beyond ‘gender’ and ‘sex’.
Sex “does NOT reflect
divine identiy but it does reflect order and harmony.”
“The sexual practices
of the fertility cults were idolatrous because they mimicked the supposed
sexual actions of the gods in order to control divine favor.
The Elohiym of the
Hebrews set human sexuality apart from any such attempts to control anything in
creation.
Sex is not about
control it is about chay-yah (life).”
*** ***
*** ***
As i said before - we
MUST know what the Word says - because if you don’t know what YHWH says - if you don’t know what you believe - the
world is more than happy to tell you what you “should” believe!!
Things are
changing...
I read an article
yesterday that says retailers are not being allowed to sell the confederate
flag. They are doing something - like
not selling video games that have the confederate flag... They are talking about banning/ burning books
and movies with it in...
*
Yoel 2 and Yeshayahu
42 talk about darkness coming ...
and Tehillim 18:28
says “For You will light my candle: YHWH my Elohiym will enlighten my darkness.”
Over and over evil is
seen in the Torah as darkness and YHWH is LIGHT.
YHWH said...
Yeshayahu 61:1 RSTNE p 343
“The Ruach of the Master YHWH is upon
Me; because YHWH has anointed Me to preach the Besorah to the meek; He has sent
Me to bind up the brokenhearted to proclaimliberty to the exiles, recovery of
sight to the blind and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.”
~
So no matter how ugly
the world gets... we will stand on the Rock that is Y’shua haMoshiach and carry
His light and serve and worship Him and Him only.
We are going to keep
our minds focused on HIM and NOT on the negative MESS around us.
And we are going to
remind ourselves constantly - that we serve the only LIVING Elohiym... the
Elohiym of our avhot (fathers) - The Elohiym of Avraham, Yitzchak and Yakov....
and we know who is in control and who is in charge and who is on the thrown.
Remember... He called
us to be fishers of the teeming masses of Yisra’el, and so i invite you to not
just be doing it now but to be studying the Torah (whole book) so we can
continue to fish!!
Baruch HaShem
YHWH!!!
