AW: A Very Interesting Passage in the Parshat HaShavua

Can we do תפילות prayers for: 

Daniel

That also through him The האור Light,  רפואה The Healing and The ואהבה Love of ישועת יהוה Yeshuath YHWH may come back to הארץ The Land of Israel?

 

Daniel send me:

Dear Chevrei,

Shalom in the Name of Yeshua HaMoshiach.

I'm commenting the promise made to Yaakov Avinu of what the Scripture reads, saying,,

                      ``And Elohim said to him(Yaakov-Yisrael), I am El-Shaddai:
                   be fruitful and multiply; a nation-goy; and a congregation of
                   Goyim shall come from you.``(Bereshith/Genesis 35:11)

In Jewish terminology Goyim are more than one singular Goy(Goy, a non-Israelite) or a whole national group. So YHWH promised Yaakov an Israelite nation and a congregation of individual Gentiles.

This is the nation of Israel and the congregation of Gentiles is the true body of the Messiah people mistakingly call the church.

I'm Jewish and from early in my believing life of close to 40 years  I've struggled with this concept. Our Rabbis refer to Christendom as Eisav(Esau). And it has been giving us the spirit of Eisav since the days of Emperor Constantine and the early church fathers. Our Rabbis are right, but not all what is called Christian exhibits the replacement spirit of Eisav.

In the early times in Acts(Ma'asei HaShaliachim) 15:14-21 Yaacov, the Mevaqqer or leader of the kehilah in Yahrushalayim was told that we should version the Goyim except with a nutshell version of the seven mitzvot of B'nai Noach whice is,

                  (1) No pollutions of idols
                  (2) No sexual immorality
                  (3) No eating of strangled animals
                  (4) No eating of blood

Our Rabbis have gathered 7 laws from the first 11 chapters of Sefer Bereshith, the 7 Noachide laws are

                  (1) Set up courts of justice & equity(Bereshith 9)
                  (2) No blasphemy of the Divine Name(as the serpent
                  did to Chavah(Eve) in Bereshith 3)
                  (3) No idolatry(like Nimrod and Semiramis did in Be. 11)
                  (4) No sexual immorality(when YHWH Elohim created
                  Adam and Chavah, at the end of Bereshith 2 they were a couple)
                  (5) No murder (Bereshith 9)
                  (6) No robbery(all violent crime is included-Bereshith 6:11)
                  (7) No eating the limb of a living animal(another example of violence)
                  or its blood(Bereshith 9)

Also they were to go th shul every Shabbat to learn and be instructed by the Levites and Rabbinical lay scholars(Acts 15:21)

This congregation of Goyim is in Ephesians 2 called in our English translations the Commonwealth of Israel. Connected somehow to the nation of Israel coming out of the loins of Yaakov. It was a fishing trip for the House of Ephraim(Romans 9:24-26). Christian Zionism is a good enough connection to Israel and Jewry. Kol HaKavode John Hagee!

The true body of Messiah is connected to Israel, the fraud is trying to replace Israel! Our Rabbis were right in calling the fraud of the Vatican Eisav but were wrong in calling all Gentile Christians Eisav.

Love in Yeshua

Want Something Different This Christmas?  http://www.firstgiving.com/sussya                                                                                                    November 2010: Blessings The Jewish Liturgy is filled with formal prayer services, performed three times a day, every day, with even more added on Shabbat and festivals!  But there are also mini prayers-blessings, actually-which we sprinkle steadily throughout our days, adding significance and spirituality to the events which color our lives.  You can find them every way you turn! We recite blessings when we wash our hands, before and after we eat or drink, when we smell something nice, see something special, hear certain sounds.  When we are about to perform a commandment, put on clothing, build a house, or have a baby. Maybe because blessings are shorter than ordinary prayers... maybe because you can say them on the go, wherever you are... I find blessings especially meaningful-a special spurt of spirituality that keeps me reminded of G-d's presence in our lives and of our deep desire to keep that relationship steady and constant. These blessings are varied and many. Some I find myself saying half a dozen times a day, like the blessing over foods which include wheat, barley, rye oats or spelt. , "Blessed are You, our G-d, King of the universe, Who creates species of nourishment."  Doesn't matter if I'm gobbling a bowl of breakfast cereal, sneaking a slice of Shabbat's leftover cake, finishing up my kid's bowl of macaroni and cheese, or licking out the bowl from my mixer.  I first say that blessing.  Some blessings, though, are said rarely and some people may never even get a chance to utter them, like the blessing said when your son reaches Bar Mitzva at the age of 13.  My husband will get to say it three times in his life, once when Avraham hit that age and again when Netanel and Elitzur become Bar Mitzva.  The blessing is "Blessed is the One Who has freed me from the punishment due this boy."  Of course the blessing doesn't mean 'Good riddance' and we are not trying to rid ourselves of responsibility for this child.  We are, instead, admitting that this boy is now a man and will be burdened with the responsibility of his own actions.  A moving, heart-racing blessing to mark a moving rite of passage. Some blessings have more meaning at different points in your life.  My daughter Atara started finding a certain blessing very meaningful not long ago.  One August night, a year and a half ago, she had been driving herself and her friends home from the neighborhood synagogue where they had been praying the midnight service Rosh Hashana Eve.  The car swerved, uprooting a tree on the road divider, totaling the car.  Everyone walked out with only minor bruises and aches and pains.  Every time Atara drives past that spot, still picturing the now faded black skid marks, she proclaims this beautiful blessing, "Blessed are You, our G-d, King of the Universe, Who performed a miracle for me at this very place."  Our family prepared her a memento of that miracle, framing our old car key with the inscription of this blessing.   To Read the Rest of This Reflection...     Did you enjoy reading Shira's Reflections?

They felt so isolated and alone, yet having us visit meant so much to them. Today, over ten years later, I am still moved by their dedication to the Land of Israel. They wanted to do something to bless us so they sent Sondra and me home with freshly picked grapes. What a wonderful present from the beautiful Judean desert. Your gift today to help their Youth Center and children's playground will show them that there are Christians around the world who care about them. Christians who are willing to give a sacrificial gift to encourage them in their commitment to live in the Land as God commanded. Please join me today by sending in your best gift to bless Bet Yatir." Go to our website and read more (PDF) about how Bet Yatir is affecting Israel.
