The Identity of
the Bride up to the Torah
We just prepared a new book, based on our
Yeshiva study Chayyeh Sarah. You will discover what the Torah and
Jewish sources teach about the Bride. Following is an excerpt that
also comments the story of the cave of Machpelah, marriage in the
Torah, and other themes developed in this particular portion of the
Bible:
Choosing Rivka
Genesis 24:12-14 Then he said, "O
Lord God of my master Avraham, please give me success this day, and
show kindness to my master Avraham. Behold, here I stand by the
well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming
out to draw water. Now let it be that the young woman to whom I
say, 'Please let down your pitcher that I may drink,' and she says,
'Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink'-let her be the
one You have appointed for Your servant Yitzchak. And by this I
will know that You have shown kindness to my master."
Q: What qualities is Avraham's servant looking
for?
Rivka is acting this way:
Genesis 24:18 -20
So she said, "Drink, my lord." Then she quickly let her pitcher
down to her hand, and gave him a drink. And when she had finished
giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw water for your camels
also, until they have finished drinking." Then she quickly emptied
her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw
water,
and drew for all his
camels.
Rivka has a heart like Avraham, the
same family characteristic as him: hospitality, a heart turned
towards others, and eagerness to serve his neighbor!
During the last lesson, we have seen that G-d
was seeking to form a nation established on justice, charity and
love of one's neighbor, for practicing hospitality and love meant
knowing Him.
One of the main characteristics of the Bride is her heart:
she loves serving and understands the needs before they are
mentioned:
Genesis 24:17; 19-20 And the servant
ran to meet her and said, "Please let me drink a little water from
your pitcher." And when she had finished giving him a drink, she
said, "I will draw water for your camels also, until they have
finished drinking." Then she quickly emptied her pitcher into the
trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his
camels.
"The world is based upon three things: Torah, worship, and the
practice of loving acts." Pirkei Avot1:2
She fulfills the commandments (the
ten camels) of the L-rd for the purpose of the Torah is to love
one's neighbor as oneself:
Matthew 22:37-40 Yeshua said to him,
'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Torah
and the Prophets.
Genesis 24:58 Then they called Rivka
and said to her, "Will you go with this man im haish hazeh
עִם-הָאִישׁ
הַזֶּה?" And she said, "I will
go."
: The last letters of the words "with this man im haish
hazeh עִם-
הָאִישׁ
הַזֶּה" spell the word "Moshe
מֹשֶׁה" who gave the Torah to
the Jewish people.
All this can be achieved only through
the miraculous power of the Holy Spirit who works in a truly
circumcised and surrendering heart.
Rivka, symbol of Israel and of the
House of Judah, gives water to the ten camels representing the
scattered Ten tribes who must come back to drink from the sources
of the Torah.
Eliezer was successful in his mission. Through Rivka, G-d provided
a wife for Yitzchak corresponding to the vision of Avraham; as his
physical and spiritual relative, she too longs for this
vision.
Like Avraham, she would leave her country and her family to follow
her mission.
The Presents
Genesis 24:22 So it was, when the
camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring
weighing half a shekel beka
בֶּקַע, and two bracelets for
her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold.
The presents offered by the servant to Rivka
project this vision before her eyes and urge her to leave
immediately to join her promised husband. The presents were not
very valuable for a man as rich as Avraham but they had a great
prophetic meaning:
The half shekel represented the half
shekel each Jew would later give for the census:
Exodus 38:26 a bekah the head beka
lagulgolet בֶּקַע
לַגֻּלְגֹּלֶת
-- half a shekel, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for
every one that passed the numbering from twenty years old and
upward, [of] the six hundred and three thousand five hundred and
fifty. (DBY)..."

Our
last book has now been translated into English and Dutch now! It
is a strong prophetic message that sheds light on the rise of Islam
and the solution HaShem has planned to fight
it.
We
are at the dawn of the 21st century, 2,000 years after the coming
of our Master Yeshua and the world is on the road to ruin. While
the Church should be strong after these centuries of practice, we
witness the rise of a conquering religion, entering with power in
all the civilized Christian countries to subjugate and submit men
and women to an iron yoke. What are the reasons for this spiritual
war and why does G-d allow Islam to conquer the Western world? What
are the secret agreements concluded by our governments to give
access to mass immigration for Muslims in Europe and in the United
States? We will try to answer these questions in part, in this
study based on the sacred texts of the Word of G-d and certain
Jewish sources.

Study with Judah
Messianic Torah Observant Teachers in Israel.
October Session
open
We are very
blessed to offer the possibility to French and English speakers to
study Torah and receive certification at the end of their studies.
Many have registered already and the encouragements we receive are
just amazing! People are going back to their Jewish roots and enter
a new intimacy with our Savior! More holiness, more closeness, more
understanding of G-d's plan through Jewish Sources, of the return
of the Ten Tribes...
Yeshua
and Torah are one !
A revelation of the Messiah without His Torah is only a partial
revelation of Yeshua!
He speaks; who will listen to His voice?
For if you really believed Moshe, you
would believe me; because it was about me that he wrote. But if
you don't believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what
I say?" John 5:46-47 Two options to study:
1. Complete
Training with graduation
2. Personal
Enrichment Studies
The Distance Messianic Yeshiva is
meant for those who want to deepen their Torah knowledge and go
back to the Jewish roots of their faith, while discovering the
Presence of the Messiah from the beginning of the Book of Genesis
until the Book of Revelation. It also addresses those who desire to
receive serious training in order to thoroughly become and also
train talmidim (disciples) according to Yeshua's
commandment:
Therefore, go and make people from all
nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the
Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh, Matthew 28:19

I feel overwhelmed
in my spirit this morning to tell you how much both your studies
and friendship have meant this last year; how important they are;
and what an immense blessing (which is not a strong enough word)
for myself and, by extension, my daughter. I pray without having
proper words to express that G-d would shine upon you and pour out
upon you in such ways as have not been seen
before!

"If you hold back your foot on
Shabbat from pursuing your own interests on my holy day; if you
call Shabbat a delight, ADONAI' s holy day, worth honoring; then
honor it by not doing your usual things or pursuing your interests
or speaking about them. Isaiah 58:14 If you do, you will find
delight in ADONAI-- I will make you ride on the heights of the land
and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Yaakov, for the

A very interesting comment
from one member of the Yeshiva:
"This past
weekend when I was meditating, the L-rd showed me something---not a
profound revelation mind you, just a continuation of what He's been
showing me concerning the House of Judah---I correlate it to 2
Corinthians 3:3 clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ministered by
us, written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God, not
on tablets of stone but on tablets of flesh, that is, of the
heart.
Judah is not just the keeper of the
Oracles of G-d, they are not just leader in the things of G-d; He
has made them a "living epistle"---His book on display, so to
speak. Again, Judah, the elder brother has been leading the way.
This living epistle has been and continues to be a visual, living
depiction of His eternal plan set in the midst of man for all to
see. Through obedience to the practice and keeping of the annual
feasts, Shabbat, Torah, they continually and symbolically depict
His redemption, death, burial, resurrection, infilling,
ingathering, forgiveness, light, eternity through openly keeping
His commandments! This "epistle" has been on display for centuries,
as a testimony, but sadly, man has not seen and has openly
condemned, criticized, ridiculed, tried to destroy and has oft
times refused to receive this wonderful display of HaShem's
faithfulness. His awesome plan truly on display every day for those
who have eyes to see and ears to hear and a heart to receive what
has been written and given. I pray that all would see, but
especially the House of Israel/Ephraim as the tribes make their
return. I thank G-d for putting on display through Judah, in the
keeping of His appointed feasts, His eternal plan and that He has
given me eyes to see!!"
You have two possibilities to study:
Complete training with graduation or
Personal enrichment.
The Complete training will allow those who want to teach Torah to
be part of our network of Torah teachers, who desire to start a
Yeshiva in their home or at their kehila. Sukkat David will offer
help to those who want to initiate Torah study groups.
Take the opportunity to study Torah starting with the highly
prophetic Book of Genesis. Torah is the key for the end times;
everything has been written in it. We just need to dive into it and
receive tremendous revelations on Yeshua and His plan for our
lives.
From the beginning of the messianic calling of the
first Patriarch, the Torah teaches us that faith is the key to
salvation. Grace also has been present since the beginning.
The foundations are laid from the first Book of the Bible,
to help us understand the perfect plan of salvation that G-d has
for mankind. If one doesn't study the foundations of this plan a
great part of the Revelation is lost, notably, the Revelation of
Messiah Yeshua.
Receiving Him in our heart as Savior and Master is one
thing, one first necessary step for our salvation, but our path
doesn't stop there. After Pesach (salvation by grace), we must head
to the Festival celebrated in honor of HaShem, "three days walk"
after the reception of the Torah: Shavuot. Avraham saw the L-rd,
and the story of his life and of his descendents reveals His
Presence, even from the beginning.
The same way we have received the Savior in our hearts, it
is now about receiving His Torah engraved in our hearts, even as
proclaimed by the prophets in Jeremiah 31:31. True new birth takes
place by the action of the Ruach HaKodesh, who circumcises our
hearts to be able to walk according to the criteria of holiness of
Elohim.
But in order to be able to walk in these commandements, under
Yeshua's yoke, we need to know the Word. When did G-d speak, before
the eyes and to the ears of all, with the sound of thunder, setting
ablaze an entire mountain? The answer is obvious: the Creator of
the universe came to reveal His heart at Mount Sinai, a place that
didn't belong to anyone, and that was open freely to all those who
wanted to drink the waters of life.
Yeshua manifested Himself on that day at Mount Sinai, but
only Moshe could see Him. Moshe's skin shone so intensely that he
covered it with a veil. He
shone from the initial Light of Creation: the Light of Messiah. He
is the PURPOSE of the Torah; He fills us with His love and calls us
to follow Him, to prepare a heavenly Bride.
He left us these words: John
5:45-47 But
don't think that it is I who will be your accuser before the
Father. Do you know who will accuse you? Moshe, the very one you
have counted on! For if you really believed
Moshe, you would believe me; because it was about me that he
wrote. But if
you don't believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what
I say?
Indeed, if we don't believe the Torah of Moshe, how will we believe
the words of Yeshua? They are the same, only revealed to our
understanding, because the veil was lifted.
By studying the Torah, our intimate knowledge and
revelation of Yeshua grows.
Don't stay at the stage of Pesach and salvation by grace;
move on to the stage of priesthood! He is preparing the Kingdom of
priests for the Glory of G-d the Father!
Register to the Yeshiva, we are over 180 students
from many different English and French speaking countries. Join

Chanukka first candle lighting next
Thursday evening!
Eight
days of lighting the Chanukkiah, a time of inward circumcision.
According to Jeremiah's prophecy (Jeremiah 31), the circumcision
of our hearts allows for the Torah to be engraved on them. To have
a circumcised heart also means to have a renewed mind, a new way of
thinking based on the Word of G-d as mentioned by
Sha'ul: Romans 12:2 In other words,
do not let yourselves be conformed to the standards of the 'olam
hazeh. Instead, keep letting yourselves be transformed by the
renewing of your minds; so that you will know what God wants and
will agree that what he wants is good, satisfying and able to
succeed.
Excerpts of the Book:
"
Now it is important to understand that the Greeks did not seek to
destroy the Jews physically, as it was the case several times in
history, with Amalek, Hitler and Islamists today. In contrast, they
sought to impose their worldview; they wanted the spirits and minds
of the Jews, to have them abandon their faith in the G-d Who was
One and Who cared about forming a people holy in His
criteria.
When the Greeks entered Jerusalem, they found no military
opposition, but after a time of more or less pacific occupation,
the Jews showed unusual resistance: they refused the culture! They
realized that their identity as a set apart people was jeopardized
and they had no choice; they had to resist or to die. Compromise
was simply impossible. In view of the Hellenization power spreading
over the world at that time, Israel had to react and counter the
movement, like a firewall against the enemy.
From that moment on, the Jews became the Greeks' worst enemy since
their "globalization" was not taking effect in Jerusalem; Greek
democracy opposed Jewish Theocracy, but it soon became inadmissible
for the Greeks, notably under the reign of Antiochus
Epiphanes.
Although the population refused the common enemy of forced
Hellenization, two clans appeared among the Jews: the righteous
(Chassidim) among poor classes who refused any concession; and the
Hellenizers (Mityavnim) from wealthier classes. Seduced and often
afraid of the violence of the Greeks, they went to the gymnasium
and to the theater. They learned to speak Greek; they dressed in
Greek fashion and chose Greek names. Many Jews were conquered and
many, willing to please the Greeks and take part in the Olympic
Games, compromised to the point of grafting a foreskin to hide
their circumcision, which the Greeks considered as
mutilation.
Antiochus IV dreamed of becoming a second Alexander. With the help
of the Hellenizers, he discharged the Cohen Gadol Onias and
replaced him with Jason, his brother Hellenist who had exchanged
his Hebrew name Yehoshua for Jason.
The religious Jews faithful to the Torah refused to assimilate and
continued to study in secret. The Jewish revolt began in the
context of a serious event which took place in the town of Modi'in.
Mattityahu, a Cohen and father of five sons, rebelled against the
royal order to sacrifice a pig on the altar:....]
D�finition
of Hellenism:
Here is a definition given by those who claim to be part of this
pagan movement, still functioning in Greece today:
"Hellenism
(ELLENIKON ETHNISMOS) is not simply a Religion and Cosmotheory, it
is a certain form of human consciousness and an everyday ethos. It
is a strong adversary of the so-called "Monotheism" and this not
only due to its being the most well-documented of the ancient
polytheistic nature-religions, but also because it is the cultural
product of a civilization much higher -on all levels- than the one
which created and spread the worship of a Desert "God" throughout
the world.
Hellenism
perceives Cosmos (KOSMOS, i.e. the Universe) as an ever-existing
Being, which not only was not created by some "creator" God out of
nothing (EK TOU MEDENOS), but on the contrary allowed the Gods
themselves to be created through its procedures. Hellenism
understands Cosmos as APEIRON (Apeiron, Infinity) in great,
wonderful order and therefore in Hellenic language Cosmos means
also jewel (KOSMOS, KOSMENA). Gods were born inside the Cosmos and
live inside it -they are part of it. This is our REAL dispute with
the so-called "Monotheism;" not the number of Gods (One or Many,
Mono- or Poly-) but where the God or Gods stand in relation to the
Cosmos. For the
"Monotheists"
the Cosmos was created by an ever-existing Being outside it (so in
this macro-historical level it is nothing more than a mortal
creation). For the "Monotheists" Cosmos is a creation that has to
obey the laws of its "creator." For us Hellenes, the eternal Cosmos
emerges always from inside of itself (ANADYETAI AFS EAUTOU) and is
the creator of all Gods, which have to obey its own
laws."
Hellenism
is a deeply pagan religion. It is based on the negation of
monotheism. It denies the only true G-d of the Bible. This thinking
is at the origin of our Western
world.
Purchase our book to read more. It is
very iportant to understand how to discern G-d's Will in those end
times! Happy Feasts of the Lights!
