Torah Portion When You Go Out - The Way Documentary

17 September 2016 - 14 Elul 5776
Torah Parashah - Ki Tetze ~ When you go out
D’barim 21:10 - 25:19  RSTNE p 154
The Way video
Devarim 22:9 - don't mix seed in your fields

Torah Parashah - Ki Tetze ~ When you go out
D’barim 21:10 - 25:19  RSTNE p 154

We know that D’barim is Moshe’s review of what YHUH had already said...  He’s reminding the people...

I want to point out a few things in this parashah:

D’barim 22:5 p 154
“A woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment; for al that do so are an abomination to YHUH your Alohiym.”

D’barim 23:1 p 155
“He that is wounded in the stones, or has his private member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of YHUH.”

~~ Both of those verses speak to some of our culture’s popular issues.


Then there is:

D’barim 22:9-12 p 154

9 “You shall not sow your vineyard with different zera; lest the fruit of your zera that you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled and forfeited.”

-   this verse is about mixing seed....

10 “You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.”

-   again not mixing...

11 “You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, as of wool and linen together.”

-   wool = frequency of 500
-   linen = frequency of 500
-   but together they cancel each other to 0.

Everything has a frequency.. and the healthier it is the higher it is.  Put a higher frequency with a lower one - the lower raises....  this is life giving... we need to wear linen and we need to wear wool... but no point if it is 0. 

~
Wayiqra (Leviticus) 19:19 p 96
“You shall guard My chukim.  You shall not let your cattle mate with a diverse kind;  you shall not sow your field with mixed zera;  neither shall a garment mixed of linen and wool come upon you.”

D’barim 22:12 “You shall make for yourself tzitzit upon the four corners of your garment, with which you cover yourself.”
        
         B’midbar (Numbers) 15:37:40 p 119


~
This parashah seems that Moshe is reminding Yisra’el that YHUH hates mixed. 

~~~
D’barim 24:3-4 p 156
“And if the latter husband hates her, and writes her a Get (certificate of divorce), and puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his bayit; or if the latter husband dies, who took her to be his wife;
4 Her former husband, who sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after she is defiled; for that is abomination before YHUH your Alohiym gives you for an inheritance.”

What is the going on here?? 
Why would YHUH make a rule like this? 
I was taught there was no divorce... in Yah’s kingdom...

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 3:8  p 350
“And I saw, that for all the reasons which backsliding Yisra’el committed adultery I had put her away , and given her a Get of divorce; yet her perverted sister Yahudah feared not, but went and played the harlot also.”

So right here in Yirmeyahu - YHUH gives Yisra’el a certificate of divorce. 

Who does He divorce?....Yisra’el - not Yahudah!
-   the 10 tribes lost in the wilderness....

and if we go back to D’barim 24:3... who became the second husband of Yisra’el?

-   the pagan gods

So when Yisra’el leaves the pagan gods...

according to that Torah in D’barim 24:3-4...  she can’t come back to YHUH... 

UNLESS....
unless the bridegroom dies. 
= EXACTLY WHAT YHUSHA DID!!!!

A documentary made by Luke and Kayte - a husband and wife team...
It was released Aug 14, 2016

The Way is the story of countless believers around the world who’ve traded Easter ham for Passover lamb and Sunday church for Saturday Sabbath - all in an effort to live like the Savior.

They’re holding every church tradition up against scripture and cutting away anything that doesn’t conform. In the process, they encounter resistance from a religious system two millennia in the making, and for the first time, learn what it’s like to be a “peculiar people.”

~

Q. What questions does the doc explore?

- If Jesus lived a perfect life, why do modern-day Christians live so differently from Him, in everything from our diet to our dress to our holidays and day of worship?

- If God never changes, why is His moral code for modern-day believers different from the one He gave everyone in the Old Testament?

- Why do we see the apostles observing Passover and other biblical festivals that are nowhere to be found in our modern day church?

*****

I want you to know - going in to this...
that many people talk - and nobody “corrects” anything....

I want you to think about the questions and the statements made... and how it all lines up with Torah.

Watch documentary.

Discuss.

Who was the person who really knew their “stuff” ???

Where are we in all of this???

Set Apart - Choosing Life - Torah Portion Ki Tetze - August 29

SET APART - CHOOSING LIFE - 29 Aug 2015

29 Aug, 2015  ~  14 Elul 5775
Torah Parashah - Ki Tetze  - D’varim 21:10-25:19  RSTNE p 154



The Torah Parashah = Ki Tetze  - D’varim 21:10-2:19  RSTNE p 154

D’varim 22:9-11 p 154
        “You shall not sow your vineyard with different (seed) zera; lest the fruit of your  (seed) zera that you have sown, and the fruit of your vineyard, be defiled (change that word in RSTNE from kadosh to defiled!!!) and forfeited.
        You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.
        You shall not wear a garment of different sorts, as of wool and linen together.”


There are many teachings we can pull from this Torah parashah...  even from these 3 verses i just read.... 

For example we know that wool is a life giving item because it has an electromagnetic frequency of 500, and linen also has a frequency of 500... and the two combined = 0. -- etc....

But what i want to focus on is - the MIXING.


Remember when we learned that in B’re’shiyt 1:2 and the earth became - hay’tah tohu vavohu and v’choshek.”

hay’tah = became

tohu = confused, empty and worthless

vovohu = shockingly confused... what hasatan does to the “seen”.

and

v’choshek - DARK.

But He didn’t leave it like that!!

B’re’shiyt 1:3
        Vay-yo’mer Elohiym y’hiy ‘or vay’hiy ‘or.
And Elohiym said Let there be light: and there was light.

B’re’shiyt 1:4
        Vay’yar Elohiym ‘et-ha’or kiy-tov  vay-yav’del Elohiym beyn ha’or uveyn  ha chochek.

And Elohiym saw the light, that it was good: and Elohiym divided the light from the darkness.

that word “divided” = vay-yav’del =
        root = badal = vet-dalet-lamed
                pictograph =
                        vet= house, family, divide
                        dalet = door, move, hang, enter, open, path or way
                        lamed = staff, lead, teach, yoke, forward, tongue,                               control
        The Etymological Dictionary of Biblical Hebrew says
                Vet-dalet-lamed = to separate for a purpose.

He separated dark from light.... 

and he vay-yav’del  -- ed His people....

Sh’mot (Exodus) 19:5   p 62
        “Now therefore, if you will obey My voice indeed and shomer My brit, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all peoples;  for all the earth is Mine.

Sh’mot 31:13 p 73
        “Speak also to the children of Yisra’el, saying, Truly My Shabbats you shall shomer;  for it is an ot between Me and you throughout your generations;  that you may know that I am YHWH that does set you apart.”

Wayiqra (Lev) 11:44-45 p 88

Wayiqra 19:2 p 95

Dan 1:8 p 435

I Thess 5:22 p 897
        “Abstain from all forms of evil.”

Kefa Aleph (I Peter) 1:14-16 p 824

Kefa Aleph 2:9 p 824

2 Corinthians 6:14-17 p 868

Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 50: 4-6 p 389

Yechezkel 14:1-11 p 402

Wayiqra 20:24-27 p 97

~
Throughout the Torah, YHWH spends a lot of time telling His people how to eat.

The first sin was about eating... 

He calls us to eat different than the world.

~

He separated dark from light.... 

and he vay-yav’del  -- ed His people....

YHWH calls us to be.

~~
He calls us to think differently than the world.

Romans 12:1-2 p 848

This is choosing hope and not fear and worry.

This is standing in defiant faith

 Yochanan Aleph (I John) 5:4-5

Gilyahna (Revelaton) 2:11, 17, 26 
      3:5,12,21 
      12:11


This is choosing to stand and walk in defiant faith - that defies how it looks around us....
        that no matter how it looks, or feels, 
no matter how “bad” the internet tells us things might be...

standing and knowing that YHWH says He will never leave us and He will never forsake us.

This is choosing to bow in gratitude  for the things we have and the things He has done and the things He will do for us...

This is choosing hope and not fear... because HE said so.

**
We need to work on renewing our minds...

We do that as we study the Word.

We also do that focusing on what He has done.

Get out paper to write on....
So right now i want you to make  list of 10 things you are thankful for.
write them down...

We also have difficult times remembering who we are...

If i asked you to tell me a story about a time when things were awful for you and you weren’t proud (pleased with) of yourself, it would be easy to think of something...

and every time we think of those miserable moments...  we make that memory tree stronger...

Since this is the month of ELUL.... the time of teshuvah...

your home work is to ask YHWH to show you the trees that need cleaned up...  repent of the sin in your life...

AND also repent of building stronger trees from those places.

I want you to picture the tree with the miserableness and I want to invite you to
renounce , repent and declare the truth... over the issues i that tree...
and i want you to repent of growing that tree bigger - focusing on that negative thing....

and then i want you to picture that tree falling...  melting away... and ask YHWH to help  you destroy it by no longer thinking on that... you’ve repented - it is DONE....

~~

NOW i want you to think of a good memory...  a time when you got to experience something amazing.....

I want you to share that memory....  with someone near you... 

What ever memory/ situation we think about /focus on - that memory tree gets stronger...

That’s why it is important to intentionally focus on what you are grateful for...  b/c those memories get stronger.

Fear and worry and hate and anger trees can get so big they crowd the love and joy out....

but not any more... b/c we are called to be overcomers...

we will no longer ruminate on the negative things...

I want to invite you to repent of that and ask YHWH to remind you/ point it out to you - every time you try and return to that habit and then immediately make yourself go to a good memory where you were amazing.

This is how we FIGHT.

this is how we stand in defiant faith....

*** ~~~~  ****~~~~~~***

This is the month of Elul - and we need to be preparing....
The fall Moedim are coming up...

Yom Teruah starts Sunday night Sept 13 and  ends Monday night Sept 14. 

Yom Kippur starts Tues night Sept 22 and ends Wed night Sept 23.

Sukkot starts at sunset  Sunday Sept 27 and goes through the 8th day - Sun night Oct 4 - Monday night Oct 5.

~
We need to remember that this month  Elul - of which we are now to the 14th day...  is a month set aside for repentance and teshuvah (returning to YHWH).   Actually the 1st of Elul starts the 40 days of favor.  Repentance especially happens in the 10 days of Awe - Yamim Nora’im....  From Yom Teruah through Yom Kippur.

Prepare....  and we just talked about how we do that.

so I am inviting you to get a notebook/journal out and start to do this work... 

We have got to learn how to be overcomers and be transformed by the renewing of our minds....

because then we will be continuing in His Word and His Word (THE TRUTH) will set us free!!

So are you going to... or not? 
Are you going to just push it aside... or are you going to do it.

I’ve been reading about our brains and exercise.  I’ve been learning about how exercise facilitates learning and how exercise kicks dementia....  and i can sit around and wait....  but i am not going to wait until i “feel like it”... this is VITAL!!!
as is the renewing of our minds.

We have to stop being lazy and stop being too busy and dig into His Word and retrain our brain - make new habits of thinking - especially in those places where there is negativity.

May we know the Truth, and walk in it - with defiant faith
deifying the things that we believed that were lies....

may we choose and DO - LIFE this day...
because HE CALLED US TO BE DIFFERENT  -TO BE SET APART FROM THE WORLD....  TO BE OVERCOMERS.

AMEIN AND AMEIN.
