This is week’s Torah Portion, which is the Last Torah Portion(Vezot Haberakhah: Deuteronomy 33,1-34,12) and then The First Portion(Bereishit: Genesis 1,1-6,8) both are included in Simchat Torah(Restarting the Torah Reading Cycle done on the 8th day of Sukkot). The verse below is that blessing of Moses(Deuteronomy 33) prior to his last trip up the mountain to die.
Deuteronomy 33:7 And this for Judah, and he said: Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him in unto his people; his hands shall contend for him, and Thou shalt be a help against his adversaries.(this seems to mean that Judah’s work […]
Is there any such thing as “Unconditional Love”?
Yes, A mother and/or a Father of a New Born. The reason there is “Unconditional Love” at that time is clear. Without “Unconditional Love”, the species would have died out long ago, because of this screeming, crying, loud, annoying, eating, peeing, messy, nasty little copy of a human, “Unconditionally TRUSTING YOU” to give them everything they require to survive. At that point, except in rare occasions, the parents are filled with “Unconditional Love” and commitment to this “bundle of joy” which is their future.
Maybe we should start with what we mean […]
Originally written 20150820.
A strange thing happened yesterday. I went for a walk to see more of Jerusalem and found myself back to the Old City and to the area of the Wall. It was very hot again with very few people in the area. I turned around went the 4km back to where I am staying, to cool off a do some writing.
Later, at 20:00 (8:00p.m.) I went out to see about getting food and to just enjoy the cool of the evening. This means that I intentionally did not take a camera, computer, smart phone, digital notebook, […]
When I want to know THE LAW or the TRUTH, I always look to the Writings of Moses, aka, Written Torah, or the TORAH between the two sticks.
Why, when I want to Know what the Living GOD OF ISRAEL wants from me do I go there? “Numbers 12:7 My servant Moses is not so; he is trusted in all My house; 8 with him do I speak mouth to mouth, even manifestly, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD doth he behold; wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against My servant, against Moses?’”

This is a follow-up of “How Close Could We Be?”.
First be for we consider that question of “Close To What?”, it would be good to remind ourselves of some basics with GOD.
1) Everything HE said has or will come true.
2) Do we know what has not come true yet? Questions:
A) Have the Children of Israel fulfilled this: i.) Leviticus 26:38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up. 39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and […]
“Daniel 12:11 And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the detestable thing that causes appalment set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Happy is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days”
Okay, we need some starting points:
Stoppage of the Continual burnt-offering –Must be when it is stopped in the Temple King Solomon built. (Called the House for the NAME; 1 Kings 5:19 And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as […]
Self-Control is exactly what we need. To follow your feelings leads you to do wrong and then striving to justify that it is okay because it felt good. A review of expectations by GOD and our problem.
We start with having only one rule, don’t eat of the tree in the middle of the garden. We failed. Is The ALMIGHTY expecting to much of us? Just the opposite, we demand to little of ourselves. We don’t really try. We are caught up in: Me; I feel; I want; I need; I; I; I. Is this the right thing to do? […]
A quote used to make a point was “Exodus 21:15 informs us that one may choose a life of slavery over freedom.”–Not a valid quote! Shalom: What things in our lives are we allowing to enslave us to keep us from freedom? Fears, Resentments, Ego, Selfishness, Pursuit of Money and ‘Stuff”? Blessings
In response to the invalid quote:
I wrote: It is horrible that the shepherds should mis-qoute the LAW. “Exodus 21:14 And if a man come presumptuously upon his neighbour, to slay him with guile; thou shalt take him from Mine altar, that he may die. 15 And he […]
The most powerful reason why, if you are blessed enough to have children, is/are right in front of you. Your children and your future, these are a perfect reason start learning and teaching. What you reveal to your children by your actions, will demonstrate what they will do to you toward the end of your life. Yes, they will act as you do in their dealings with others but, more to the power they will do it to you. You can change, you can do what is Right. First, you will need to know what RIGHT looks like, fortunately the […]
The Hebrews(Meaning from the other side or the Other)
A Problem is found here! How can it be that even the Hebrews in Egypt, that saw the events there and then were expelled, chased by Pharaoh and his army, trapped by the sea and then walked on dry ground with walls of water on both sides, those that left had no knowledge of GOD or what just happened?
They did not internalize the events of GOD’s Mercy and Power! In other words they just did not perceive or understand those events taking place around them. Could it be likened to: […]
