Weekly Torah Portion: Ki Tavo

The joy of living mindfully, of living for Hashem, of being ever cognizant and in recognition of Hashem, and thanking Hashem for everything He has given us, for what G-d has given us is everything we need. This is the message of Ki Tavo, and the bringing of the first fruits.

I find that throughout the years, my humiliation for having joy in haShem has minimized, and it is wonderful to laugh, baruch haShem, to love and consider his own.

[verah]

Thank you, Rabbi.
Let us be thankful to the Almighty.
Let us be joyful in the Almighty.
Let us be mindful of Him.
And let us "Tikkun Olam".
This world is in desperate need for positivity and healing...

Fantastic Bible story. It’s interesting that if King Saul would have obeyed the Lord and destroyed all of Israel’s enemies, the Amalekites, then he wouldn’t have been attacked and killed by them. But the Lord rejected him as King because of his disobedience and chose David in his place.

As to the presence of alleged Amalekites in Palestine proper, such colonies have been assumed on the basis of Judges, v. 14 and xii. 15. The first passage speaks of "Ephraim whose root is in [A. V. "was against"] Amalek"; in the second, the judge Abdon is stated to have been "buried in Pirathon [southwest of Shechem], in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekite."

What are some of the credentials of the Messiah according to the Tanakh?

* Messiah was to be born at Bethlehem: Micah 5:2 (Micah 5:1 in Hebrew Bible)
* Messiah would be from the tribe of Judah: Genesis 49:10
* Messiah would present himself by riding on an ass: Zechariah 9:9
* Messiah would be tortured to death: Psalm 22:1-31
* Messiah would arrive before the destruction of the Second Temple: Daniel 9:24-27
* Messiah’s life would match a particular description, including suffering, silence at his arrest and trial, death and burial in a rich man’s tomb, and resurrection: Isaiah 52:13-53:12

In regard to lineage, birthplace, time, and lifestyle, Yeshua/Jesus matched the Messianic expectations of the Hebrew Scriptures.

And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son. " Zachariah 12:10, check also Isaiah 53

The Mashiach walked upon the waters. Job 9:8 "Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea."
Psalm 77:19 "Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen."

The name of the Mashiach in Isaiah 62:1 "Because I love Zion, I will not keep still. Because my heart yearns for Jerusalem, I cannot remain silent. I will not stop praying for her until her righteousness shines like the dawn, and her salvation(YESHUA) blazes like a burning torch."

Jeremiah 23:5-6
"The days are coming, " declares the LORD, "when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, a King who will reign wisely and do what is just and right in the land. In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteous Savior.(The LORD our Righteous YESHUA)

Proverbs 30:4
Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?

Yeshua, Jesus of Nazareth came and died on the cross and rose up on the third day, by his blood that he shared on the cross of Calvary 2000 years ago, if you repent and believe you shall receive full redemption!!! Maranatha!!
