Birth Pains or Great Distress
Shabbath Beshalach, Iwas thinking on the next pasukiem.
So, how we can look on this time where we are living in now.
Birth Pains or Great Distress
Messiah prophesied that prior to His return; there shall be a time of Great Distress, or Great Pressure.
This time is also known as the time of “birth pains,” which is often found in the same passage, as a parallel term, describing the Great Distress.
What is to be born at this time? Yisra'ĕl, repenting Yisra'ĕl, namely Yisra'ĕl who has turned back from apostasy, unbelief and disobedience – with the born again gentiles grafted in among them!
Mat 24:21 “For then there shall be great distress,1 such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. Footnote:1Or great pressure, or great affliction.
The time where we living in start ‘to show’ something like the above?
Mat 24:29-31 “And immediately after the distress1 of those days the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light, and the stars shall fall from the heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken. Footnote:1Or pressure.
Are people talking something like the above special in other religious?
30 “And then the sign of the Son of Aḏam shall appear in the heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, and they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming on the clouds of the heaven with power and much esteem.
31 “And He shall send His messengers with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His chosen ones from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.
Who are these chosen ones?
Again….Mar 13:24-27 “But in those days, after that distress, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give its light,
25 and the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers in the heavens shall be shaken.
26 “And then they shall see the Son of Aḏam coming in the clouds with much power and esteem.
27 “And then He shall send His messengers, and assemble His chosen ones from the four winds, from the farthest part of earth to the farthest part of heaven.
Who are these chosen ones?
Rev 7:14 And I said to him, “Master, you know.” And he said to me, “These are those coming out of the great distress, having washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
Deu 4:30 “In your distress, when all these words shall come upon you in the latter days, then you shall return to יהוה your Elohim and shall obey His voice.
To who is spoken the above words?
Jer 30:6-7 ‘Ask now, and see if a man is giving birth. Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labour, and all faces turned pale?
7 ‘Oh! For great is that day, there is none like it. And it is the time of Yaʽaqoḇ’s distress, but he shall be saved out of it.
About who’s distress are Scriptures ‘speaking’?
Who is Ya’aqob? And what is promised about Ya’acob?
Psa 22:31 They shall come and declare His righteousness To a people yet to be born1, For He shall do it! Footnote: 1See Great Distress in Explanatory Notes.
Psa 102:18 This is written for a generation to come, So that a people to be created praise Yah.
Isa 66:7-8 “Before she laboured, she gave birth; before a pain came to her, she was delivered of a male child.
8 “Who has heard the like of this? Who has seen the like of these? Is a land brought forth in one day? Is a nation born at once? For as soon as Tsiyon laboured, she gave birth to her children.
Who are her children and what is her promise to her?
Mic 4:6-13 “In that day,” declares יהוה, “I gather the lame, and I bring together the outcast and those whom I have afflicted.
7 “And I shall make the lame a remnant, and the outcast a strong nation. And יהוה shall reign over them in Mount Tsiyon1, from now on and forever. Footnote: 1Isa. 24:23.
8 “And you, O tower of the flock, stronghold of the daughter of Tsiyon, it shall come to you, the former rule shall come, the reign of the daughter of Yerushalayim.”
9 Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no sovereign in you? Has your counsellor perished? For pain has gripped you like a woman in labour.
Is Yeshuah Rabbeinu the one who you are following?
10 Be in pain, and deliver, O daughter of Tsiyon, like a woman in labour. For now you are to leave the city, and you shall dwell in the field. And you shall go to Baḇel, there you shall be delivered, there יהוה shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
Are you from the redeemed by YHWH?
11 And now, many gentiles shall be gathered against you, who are saying, “Let her be defiled, and let our eyes look upon Tsiyon!”
12 But they do not know the thoughts of יהוה, nor do they understand His counsel. For He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing-floor.
13 “Arise and thresh, O daughter of Tsiyon, for I make your horn iron and your hooves bronze. And you shall beat many peoples into pieces, and I shall seclude their gain to יהוה, and their wealth to the Master of all the earth.”
Mic 5:3-7 Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labour has given birth, and the remnant of His brothers return to the children of Yisra’ĕl.
O Israel, Yudah and Ephraim, are you returning?
4 And He shall stand and shepherd1 in the strength of יהוה, in the excellency of the Name of יהוה His Elohim. And they shall dwell, for at that time He shall be great, to the ends of the earth. Footnote: 1Ezek. 34:13-14.
5 And this shall be peace. When Ashshur comes into our land, and when he treads in our palaces, we shall raise against him seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.
6 And they shall shepherd the land of Ashshur with the sword, and the land of Nimroḏ at its entrances. And He shall deliver us from Ashshur, when he comes into our land and when he treads within our borders.
Who are they that desire to go back to their Hebraic Roots?
7 And the remnant of Yaʽaqoḇ shall be in the midst of many peoples, as dew from יהוה, as showers on the grass, which do not wait for man nor delay for the sons of men.
About whom are the Scriptures talking in the next verses?
Hos 1:9-11 then He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi, for you are not My people, and I am not for you.
10 “Yet the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be as the sand of the sea, which is not measured nor counted. And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ they shall be called, ‘You are the sons of the living Ěl.’
11 “And the children of Yehuḏah and the children of Yisra’ĕl shall be gathered together, and appoint for themselves one head, and shall come up out of the earth, for great is the day of Yizreʽĕl!
Hos 2:23 “And I shall sow her for Myself in the earth, and I shall have compassion on her who had not obtained compassion. And I shall say to those who were not My people, ‘You are My people,’ while they say, ‘My Elohim!’ ”
Rom 9:25-27 As He says in Hoshĕa too, “I shall call them My people, who were not My people, and her beloved, who was not beloved.”
26 “And it shall be in the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not My people,’ there they shall be called sons of the living Elohim.”
27 And Yeshayahu cries out on behalf of Yisra’ĕl, “Though the number of the children of Yisra’ĕl be as the sand of the sea, the remnant shall be saved.
Mat 24:8 “And all these are the beginning of birth pains.
Can we understand what is said in Rev 12:5-11 in connection with all what is said above?
Rev 12:5-11 And she bore a male child1 who was to shepherd all nations with a rod of iron. And her child was caught away to Elohim and to His throne. Footnote: 1Isa. 66:7.
6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by Elohim, to be nourished there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
7 And there came to be fighting in the heaven: Miḵa’ĕl and his messengers fought against the dragon. And the dragon and his messengers fought,
8 but they were not strong enough, nor was a place found for them in the heaven any longer.
9 And the great dragon was thrown out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who leads all the world astray. He was thrown to the earth, and his messengers were thrown out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in the heaven, “Now have come the deliverance and the power and the reign of our Elohim,1 and the authority of His Messiah, for the accuser of our brothers, who accused them before our Elohim day and night, has been thrown down. Footnote: 1See 11:15.
11 “And they overcame him because of the Blood of the Lamb, and because of the Word of their witness, and they did not love their lives to the death.
Please let us come together in Prayer (by singing/praying The Song of Moshe and The Song of The Lamb) and Teshuvah in the Love of Yeshuath YHWH. Yehudah, Ephraim and all 'the called out ones',
Until comes in fulfillment,
Zec 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David (The whole House of Israel, Jews and Ephraim), and upon the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourned for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.Blessings,
Ariel

| "Bread from Heaven" (Exodus 15:4) Shvat 9, 5771/January 14, 2011 Never a dull moment! That may be the best way to describe this week's Torah reading of Beshalach, (Exodus 13:17-17:16). The Israelite escape from Egypt, the hot pursuit by Pharaoh's chariots, the stand-off at the Sea of Reeds, the splitting of the Sea and the glorious Song of the Sea, the destruction of Pharaoh's army, thirst and hunger in the wilderness, water from the rock, the savage attack by Amalek, and, of course, the appearance of the wondrous manna, the "bread from heaven" - it all takes place this week! No sooner have the children of Israel emerged from under the heel of their Egyptian overlords, than their world seems to become topsey-turvey. What had been a very stable, if malignant environment under Egyptian dominance, has, overnight, become highly turbulent. Having been immersed in a setting where all of life's decisions where beyond their control, they now have become masters of their own fate. Nor does this contradict G-d's purpose in taking them out from Egypt. For, as we will learn, they can only become true servants of HaShem by becoming masters of their own fate. Likewise, they can only become a free people by attaching their destiny to G-d's will. At one moment Israel is crossing the Sea of Reeds as a united, triumphant people, singing G-d's praise. At another moment they in the desert, hungry, thirsty, divided, and full of misgiving toward Moshe and G-d. G-d addresses their hapless situation by introducing them to the manna - "bread from heaven." He explains, through Moshe, that this dew-like manna will appear each morning upon the surface of the earth. All the people need to do is to go out and gather it. It is of a pure spiritual nature, but it will provide Israel with all its nutritional needs, what we refer to today as a well-balanced meal. Our sages further tell us, in Midrash, that the manna would assume any taste that its consumer would hope for. French toast is your fancy? That's what it will taste like. You prefer a thick steak? Not a problem! It almost appears as if the brutal take-it-or-leave-it existence of slavery is being replaced by a type of over-the-top heavenly coddling. Certainly this can lead to no good! But there is much more to the manna phenomenon. Moshe continues to instruct the people that they are to gather only the amount of manna required for their families' need. Not more, not less. Anyone who tries to gather more than their requirements and hoard the surplus will be disappointed the following morning when they discover yesterday's manna rotting and inedible. G-d is teaching Israel , via the manna, the rudimentary rules of responsibility to ourselves, our families, our neighbors and our people. Self indulgence is not permitted. Nor is self denial. We are to be conscious of, and considerate of our neighbor's needs. We are to act responsibly and in harmony as we go out to harvest the heavenly bounty each morning. No one is lacking. Social cohesion is coming to Israel. The ragtag throng of runaway slaves that escaped from Egypt is beginning to earn it new title of nation: the nation of Israel. But still, a major and necessary component of what makes a just society on earth is missing. Torah continues: "And it shall be on the sixth day that when they prepare what they will bring, it will be double of what they gather every day." (ibid 16:5) Here appears Israel's first lesson in observing the holy Sabbath, (Shabbat). They are to gather twice their normal daily requirement on the sixth day, (Friday), and keep the surplus overnight so that they can enjoy it the next morning - still Shabbat! In this manner they acknowledge G-d as creator, and sanctify the Shabbat as His day of rest. And no less essentially, they express their knowledge that the G-d who delivered them from Egypt is the very same G-d of creation - G-d is One! What is forbidden during the six days of our profane week becomes a sacred responsibility in preparing for Shabbat. In this way we honor our fellow man, and in this way we honor G-d. But truly, both sets of instructions concerning the manna are absolutely necessary, both for the creation of a just civil society and also for the formation of a nation attached with an inseparable bond to G-d. A nation that is fastidious in allocating its resource to its citizens, but allows no place for G-d will soon take on the traits of some of the most hateful and cruel societies that man has ever known. A nation that revels in honoring G-d, but does not honor the dignity of its own people, G-d's children, is not honoring G-d at all, but blaspheming His name. Just before we read of the manna, while we are hearing of Israel's thirst in Marah, we are told that, "There [G-d] gave them a statute, (Hebrew - chok), and an ordinance, (mishpat), and there He tested them." (ibid 14:25) The Hebrew chok - "statute" - refers to those commandments which create relationships between man and G-d, such as the laws of kashrut, the Temple offerings, the red heifer, and, of course, the Shabbat. Mishpat - "ordinance" - signifies those commandments which direct us as how to behave toward our fellow man, such as the laws which forbid stealing or trespassing, and the laws that insist that we return a lost object, help a neighbor's donkey which is suffering under a heavy load, or refrain from speaking ill of another. "Chok umishpat" - "a statute, and an ordinance," this is the twin lesson of the manna, and these are, in fact, the twin pillars upon which Torah stands, honoring G-d and honoring our fellow man, ultimately honoring ourselves. Hardly an indulgence, the manna was a "hard tack" teaching device for a nation hungry for sustenance, both physical and spiritual. Consider this well on your next trip to the market! |
 Tune in to this week's Temple Talk as Yitzchak Reuven and his special guest host, Tzvi Richman discuss this week's Torah reading of Beshalach, G-d's handing over to Israel the command of time - establishing the new moon, Israel's freedom from slavery - the true test of faith, and all the coaxing the children of Israel require as they take their first steps in the desert. Led and fed by daily miracles as they entered the desert en route to the promised land of Canaan, Israel experiences many seeming lapses of faith. Yet they are known as the generation of knowledge and existed in a spiritual reality far higher than any other generation. What does this teach us about the nature of faith? The nature of man? |

 This week features the Light to the Nations teaching by Rabbi Chaim Richman, entitled, "The Holy Temple: to Build or to Wait? Part IV: The Rambam, in his "Letter on Persecution" specifically says that we are not to wait for moshiach for the performance of any mitzvah. Does the building of the Holy Temple constitute an exception?" (This teaching was initially posted in November 2009. Rabbi Richman will not be recording new teachings until he returns from his upcoming trip to the USA.) Click here to view. |
 The song of the Sea, sung by the children of Israel at the splitting of the Sea of Reeds is the celebration of the recognition of G-d in the world, and can only be sung after we put that recognition to the test, and take the first step into the sea that lies before us.
