Weekly Bible Reading # 10- Miketz/ At the End Torah Gen 41:1-44_17 Haftarah 1Kings 3:15;4:1 New Testament Matt. 27:15-28 *** Aleph Bet Parshat Miketz: Why Didn't Joseph Write Home? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srSTuj6KVt4 (8 mins) *** Parashat Miketz 5785 | Why Does God Choose the Outsider? Rabbi Richman https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dE8kHmAICus (~20 mins) *** Rabbi Richman Weekly Torah Portion: Miketz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Phfdho7VxlU (24 mins) The story of the betrayal of Yosef by his brothers and their ultimate reconciliation is one filled with pathos and pain. While the sin of the brothers who sold Yosef into slavery has long term ramifications which have reverberated throughout Jewish history for 1000's of years, their crime, ironically, by leading to Yosef's ascent in Egypt, saved humanity from deadly famine. *** Rabbi Isaac #10 - Torah Parashah Mikketz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_psJxS_BMA (90 mins) Mikketz Genesis 41-44:17 Mi Ketz, means "from the end" or "completion". It was the end of two full years, from the time the butler and baker were released from prison till Pharoah dreamed and the wine bearer remembered his promise to Yosef (Joseph). His experience in prison must have been akin to what we feel when we have the call of God on our lives and have to wait, sometimes years, to carry it out. He demonstrates for us the best way to spend our time, serving our Master diligently as the scripture says "whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might" Eccl. 9:10 By doing this, Yosef's endured the situation in patient service to Yahweh and his character was strengthened and prepared for the calling on his life. Learn the symbolism of Joseph and Benjamin as different aspects of Messiah and the correlation with Joseph being brought forth from the pit (on Rosh Hashana/Yom Teruah/Day of Trumpeting) and those who will be brought forth from the pit of Death when Messiah comes on a future Day of Trumpeting! Contemplate the lessons for us in needing to have discernment and wisdom like Joseph to prepare for the coming famine (both Spiritual and Physical) and be a blessing to not only our families but all that God brings to us! *** #10 Haftarah Mikketz - Parallels of Wisdom from Yosef and Solomon for us Today! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLm-5Wh3KvI (60 mins) This week's haftorah from I Kings 3:15-4:1 opens with the words "And Solomon awoke, and behold it was a dream," echoing this week's Torah portion which opens with Pharaoh's dreams. Though not included in the haftorah, in this dream God granted King Solomon his legendary wisdom. The haftorah then relates a famous episode that made all of Israel aware of their new monarch's keen intellect. Two harlots approach King Solomon to adjudicate their dispute. They lived together in the same house, and each had given birth to an infant three days apart. One night, one of the infants was accidentally crushed to death by her mother, and one woman accused the other of switching infants in order to have a live baby. Each woman claimed that the live child is theirs and the deceased child was the other's. King Solomon asks that a sword be brought and orders that the child be cut in half with each woman receiving one half. At this point, the mother of the living child exhorts the king to give the child to the other woman so that he may live, while the other woman says, "Let it be neither mine nor yours, divide!" The king ruled: "Give her the living child, and by no means slay him: she is his mother!" We draw inferences in our D'var Torah prophetically between these two woman... one true woman, one false woman with end-time prophecy about the true pure woman keeping God's commandments versus the false woman called a harlot in Revelation... Watch and learn the deeper message for us today! *** Crowder - All My Hope featuring Tauren Wells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7tElvdnId4Q (~3 mins) *** |

At the same time, its inner dynamic is a spiritual, prophetic tension that will lead to the final messianic Redemption with the reunion of the descendants of Joseph and Yehuda. The Torah portion of Va'yeshev (Gen. 37 : 1 - 40 : 23) is read on Shabbat, 20 Kislev 5785 - December 21, 2024 _________ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone *** Messianic Rabbi Isaac Assembly of Called-Out Believers Two Sticks Roundtable Radio Show - Episode 13 "What it means to be Grafted into Israel" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DbCsuck2DAI (50 mins) *** Messianic Rabbi Isaac Assembly of Called-Out Believers #9 Haftarah Vayeshev - Parallels and contrasts between Yosef and his 10 brothers with the 10 Tribes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7AxkD1xO4U&list=PLjwGJ03D1fXoJ40g4nvce1GDyj7Q31... (45 mins) Dec 21, 2019 This week’s haftorah in Amos 2:6-3:8 parallels the Torah parashah in Genesis 37:1-40:23 about Joseph and his brothers. It contains an allusion to the sale of Joseph by his brothers, an incident discussed in this week’s Torah reading. Amos opens with a rebuke to the Jewish People. God had been patient with them, notwithstanding their transgression of the three cardinal sins — sexual impropriety, idolatry, and murder. Their fourth sin, however, crossed the line — the mistreatment of the innocent, widows, orphans, and the poor… in essence, not taking care of the “whole house of Israel”! God reminds the Jewish people how He lovingly took them out of Egypt, led them through the desert for forty years, and settled them in the Holy Land. There, He bestowed the gift of prophecy on some and inspired others to become Nazirites. Yet the Jewish people did not respond appropriately, giving wine to the Nazirites and instructing the prophets not to prophesy. Amos then describes God’s punishment for the errant behavior: “And the stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee naked on that day, says the Lord.” The haftorah ends with an admonition from God, one that also recalls His eternal love for His people: “Hearken to this word which the Lord spoke about you, O children of Israel, concerning the entire nation that I brought up from the land of Egypt. ‘Only you did I love above all the families of the earth; therefore, I will visit upon you all your iniquities…'” *** Pastor/Messianic Rabbi Isaac Assembly of Called-Out Believers #9a Vayeshev - Illustrated D'var Torah with Deeper Understanding of Joseph and his Brothers! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6v0_lZ5ah4 (~38 mins) Nov 21, 2021 Listen and learn from Rabbi Isaac's new Dvar Torah teaching on the 9th Torah Parashah Vayeshev Hebrew for “and he lived.

A ‘man’ wrestles with Jacob all night, unable to defeat him but finally wounding him. The adversary informs Yaakov that his name will henceforth be Israel. Who was that man anyway? Why did he attack Jacob? And if his name is now 'Yisrael,' why does God Himself continue to call him by both names?

(67 mins) *** This week’s haftorah mentions the punishment of Edom, the descendants of Esau, whose conflict with Jacob is chronicled in this week’s Torah reading. The prophet Obadiah, himself a descendant of an Edomite convert, describes the punishment destined for the nation of Edom. The Edomites did not come to Judea‘s aid when she was being destroyed by the Babylonians, and even joined in the carnage. Many years later the Edomites (the Roman Empire) themselves destroyed the Second Temple and mercilessly killed and enslaved their Jewish cousins. Though the Roman Empire was one of the mightiest to ever inhabit the earth, the prophet forewarns: “If you go up high like an eagle, and if you place your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down, says the Lord. . . And the house of Jacob shall be fire and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau shall become stubble, and they shall ignite them and consume them, and the house of Esau shall have no survivors, for the Lord has spoken.” After describing the division of Esau’s lands amongst the returning Judean exiles, the haftorah concludes with the well known phrase: “And saviors shall ascend Mt. Zion to judge the mountain of Esau, and the Lord shall have the kingdom.” *** Because He Lives - Grace Larson https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxbveK1MrpE |
Weekly Bible Reading #7 Vayetze/And he went out Torah Gen. 28:10-32:3 HafTarah Hos. 11:7-14:9 New Testament John 1:19-51 Apr 7, 2016 What is your view of Jesus? John the Baptist was very aware of who Jesus is: "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" (John 1:29). We learn that our faith should not be dictated by the world's opinion of God because the majority of people have not received Him—but those who do have the right to become His children. This teaching is from our series 43 John - 2016 with Skip Heitzig from Calvary Albuquerque. *** Rabbi Richman Torah Portion Vayetze What is Jacob's Ladder?
