Welcome to Parasha Miketz (At the End), this week’s Torah Portion.
We know you will be blessed as you follow along with us in this
portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues around the world
during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. Enjoy !
Because this Shabbat (Sabbath) falls during the eight-day holiday
of Hanukkah, it is called Shabbat Hanukkah.
In last week’s study, Joseph’s brothers became jealous of him, plotting against
him because his father favored him above his other sons and because his
prophetic dreams revealed his own grand destiny. So they threw Joseph into a
pit and then sold him into slavery. While serving honorably as a slave, Joseph
was falsely accused and sent to prison for a crime he didn’t commit.
In this week’s reading, Joseph is finally about to come to the end of his many trials
and enter into his grand destiny. In fact, the name of the Parasha, Miketz,
found in the opening verse of this week’s Torah reading, hints at this
since this Hebrew word means at the end of.

Weekly Torah Portion: Miketz
Yosef wasn't a saint who was immune to the same temptations that we all struggle with.
He was, however, a tzadik - a righteous man - who was able to overcome his own
potential for downfall by staying focused on who he was - a son of the Hebrews
- and the plan that G-d had assigned him to fulfill in life.
Miketz (Genesis 41:1 - 44:17)

A special thanks to outgoing President Obama and all our dear friends at the United Nations—for reminding us what Chanukah is all about! This week’s special Chanukah edition of Temple Talk is hosted by two men who have been deemed international criminals by the United Nations – together with many hundreds of thousands of Israelis, who live their lives, together with their families, in homes that the United Nations has deemed to have been built on land ‘in flagrant violation under international law.’ Join Yitzchak Reuven and Rabbi Chaim Richman, who connect the dots between outgoing President Obama and King Antiochus, between UN Resolution 2334 and Chanukah, and between Yosef and his brothers, and the contemporary issues facing the Jewish people today. A joyous and light-filled Chanukah to all our listeners, from Temple Talk!

Christian Organization Bringing Israeli Delegation to Trump Inauguration
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
In the wake of deteriorating relations between Israel and the US culminating in the disastrous UN vote last Friday, Tommy Waller, a Christian from Tennessee, is bringing a delegation of Israeli Knesset members to Donald Trump’s inauguration on January 20th. A spiritual Christian, Waller describes himself as deeply connected to the land and agriculture of his native Tennessee. When he came to Israel 13 years ago and saw the vineyards bearing fruit in Mount Bracha near Shechem, he realized he was witnessing the fulfillment of prophecy right in front of his eyes. [...]

As Door Closes on His Era, Obama Expels 35 Russian Diplomats
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz
In another drastic last-minute bridge-burning move, President Barack Obama expelled 35 Russian diplomats suspected of spying and imposed sanctions on two Russian intelligence organizations. “These actions follow repeated private and public warnings that we have issued to the Russian government, and are a necessary and appropriate response to efforts to harm U.S. interests in violation of established international norms of behavior,” Obama said in a statement from Hawaii, where he is on vacation. US intelligence services claimed that Russia ordered cyber-attacks on Hillary Clinton’s campaign in order to influence American elections in favor of Republican candidate, Donald Trump. State Department declared as “persona non grata” 35 Russian intelligence operatives and is closing two Russian compounds in New York and Maryland, putting sanctions on two Russian intelligence agencies, the GRU and the FSB, four GRU officers and three companies that Obama said “provided material support to the GRU’s cyber operations.” [...]

Palin said America should get out of the UN and get the UN out of America
BE SURE TO LISTEN TO THE INTERVIEW. SARAH AT HER BEST.
by John Hayward - BREITBART
On Thursday’s Breitbart News Daily on SiriusXM, former Alaska Governor and 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin talked with Breitbart London Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam about the return of national sovereignty that began with Brexit and might lead to a United States withdrawal from the United Nations in the wake of its anti-Israel vote. “I think many of us have called for America to really step up and consider what it is that we are funding and supporting via the UN, and how it works so hard really against U.S. interests, and just saying – look what the U.K. just did,” Palin said, referring to the Brexit vote. “This is such an encouraging time, where it’s not just us, but those across the pond, too, are understanding that their nation’s sovereignty and security are on the line here, with the ties that bind us to interests that really don’t further our agendas,” she declared.

Build, Baby, Build
by Evelyn Gordon
There’s really only one suitable Zionist response to last week’s UN Security Council resolution on the settlements: massive settlement construction. That’s the appropriate response for more than one reason, but I’ll focus here on the most obvious one: The resolution proves conclusively that Israel gets no credit for showing restraint on this issue, so there’s no earthly reason why it should continue suffering the costs of restraint. As I’ve written repeatedly in the past, data from Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics shows that there has been less settlement construction under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu than under any of his predecessors. Nor is this a matter of partisan dispute: The left-wing daily Haaretz, a virulent opponent of both Netanyahu and the settlements, used the same data to reach the same conclusion last year. [...]

Shabbat Hanukkah - Parasha Miketz - A Light Shining in the Darkness !!!
Shabbat Shalom and
Happy Hanukkah !
Welcome to Parasha Miketz
(At the End), this week’s Torah Portion.
Because this Shabbat (Sabbath) falls during the eight-day
holiday of Hanukkah, it is called Shabbat Hanukkah.
We know you will be blessed as you study with us the
portion of the Torah that will be read in synagogues around
the world during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service.

Miketz (At the End)
Genesis 41:1–44:17; Zechariah 2:10(14)–4:7; maftir:
Numbers 7:48–59;
John 1:1–18
John 1:1–18
“And it came to pass at the end of [miketz]
two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed a dream: and, behold,
he stood by the river.” (Genesis 41:1)
In last week’s study, Joseph’s brothers became jealous of
him, plotting against him because his father favored him above
his other sons and because his prophetic dreams revealed his
own grand destiny. So they threw Joseph into a pit and then
sold him into slavery. While serving honorably as a slave,
Joseph was falsely accused and sent to prison for a crime he
didn’t commit.
In this week’s reading, Joseph is finally about to come to
the end of his many trials and enter into his grand destiny.
In fact, the name of the Parasha, Miketz, found
in the opening verse of this week’s Torah reading, hints at
this since this Hebrew word means at the end of.
Joseph is brought out of the darkness of an Egyptian
dungeon to interpret the strange dreams of the Pharaoh. In
just one day, Joseph is promoted from prison to palace, and
his life was suddenly transformed from darkness to light.
Joseph Interprets Pharaoh's Dream, by James Tissot
A Light in the
Darkness
Because Miketz coincides with Hanukkah or the Festival of
Lights this year, this week’s portion includes a
special Haftarah (prophetic reading) about the prophet
Zechariah’s vision of a grand Menorah. He says,
“He
asked me, 'What do you see?' I answered, 'I see a solid
gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it,
with seven channels to the lamps. Also there are two olive
trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on
its left.'” (Zechariah 4:2–3)
Two olive trees feed this grand Menorah with oil. The
trees are often considered to refer to Joshua the High Priest
and Zerubbabel, religious and political figures.
But since prophecy usually reveals the present and future,
and since trees in
Scripture often represent people, these
two trees are seen by some to represent Jewish Believers and
Gentile Believers, anointed sons who have been shining light
into the darkness for over 2,000 years.
Others think the two trees represent the Messiah (the
Lord's Righteous Branch) and Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) who
are “anointed to serve the Lord
of all the earth.” (Zechariah 4:14)
Zechariah promises that the darkness that comes from our
sin, which separates us from God, will be supernaturally
lifted in a single day by His Righteous Branch.
“I am going to bring My
servant, the Branch. … and I will remove the sin of this
land in a single day.” (Zechariah 3:8–9)
God also speaks of the supernatural working of the Ruach
(Holy Spirit) to accomplish the Lord's plans, such as the
building of the Second Temple by Zerubbabel:
“This is the word of the LORD
to Zerubbabel: 'Not by might nor by power, but by My
Spirit,' says the LORD Almighty.'" (Zechariah 4:6)
The fried food of Hanukkah, which includes donuts (sufganiyot),
represents the miracle of a one-day supply of holy oil for the Temple
Menorah lasting the eight days required to purify more oil.
In the Holy Sanctuary, the light of the Menorah
became a symbol of God’s Divine Presence; its light
not only lit up the inside of the Temple, but tradition says
it also shined out the windows and into Jerusalem where people
could bask in its rays during the dark nights.
During this time of year, when the winter nights are the
longest, we sense our need for light more intensely.
Some people even experience what has been termed S.A.D.
(Seasonal Affective Disorder)—a particular depression brought
about by a deficiency of sunlight. Likewise, when we are going
through our “long, dark night of the soul,” we feel more
intensely our desire to see even a glimmer of light.
The Hebrew prophet Isaiah wrote of a “Great Light” that
would one day come to lift people out of the gloomy darkness:
“Nevertheless the gloom will not
be upon her who is distressed … The people who walked in
darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the
land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.”
(Isaiah 9:1–2)
Jewish children bask in the glow of the hanukkiah
(Hanukkah menorah). (Go Israel photo by Dana
Friedlander)
Who is this “great light” of which Isaiah
prophesied? The Light would come in the form of a
child, who would eventually rule the nations in righteousness
and justice, seated on the throne of His father, David, for
all eternity.
“For
unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the
government will be upon His shoulder and His name will be
called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and
peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David and
over His kingdom, to order it and establish it with judgment
and justice, from that time forward, even forever.” (Isaiah
9:6–7)
Yeshua HaMashiach (the Messiah—the Anointed One) said, “I am the Light of the World.
Whoever follows Me will never walk in darkness, but will
have the light of life.” (John 8:12)
Enjoying the light of the hanukkiah (Go Israel photo by Dana Friedlander)
Light of the World
Hanukkah is a celebration of light.
This joyous festival commemorated the salvation of the
Jewish people from the oppression of the Greeks who ruled the
Jewish people
from 332–164 BC.
from 332–164 BC.
It was both a physical salvation and a spiritual one, since
the Jews were not only rescued from persecution, but also
liberated from an enforced Hellenized (Greek) religious system
and culture.
They fought for
freedom to worship the One True God, to keep His
commandments and observe the festivals as written in the
Torah.
Though not commanded in the Torah, the Jewish People have
honored the liberation of the Holy Temple and its
re-dedication to God by celebrating the Festival of Dedication
/ Hanukkah.
Did Yeshua celebrate Hanukkah? The only reference in
Scripture to Hanukkah is found in the Brit Chadashah (New
Testament), and it indicates that He more than likely kept the
festival.
The Gospel of John reveals that Yeshua walked in the courts
of the Temple during Hanukkah:
“Now it was the Feast of
Dedication in Jerusalem, and it was winter. And Yeshua
walked in the Temple, in Solomon’s porch.” (John
10:22–23)
While He was there, some asked Him directly if He were the
Messiah.
Yeshua pointed to the works He had done as proof, but
explained that they did not believe in Him because they were
not His sheep.
In this week’s Brit Chadashah portion, Yeshua the
Messiah proclaimed His mission as one of healing the
brokenhearted and setting captives free.
The verses He cited came directly out of the book of the
Hebrew prophet Isaiah.
“So
He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as
His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath
day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of
the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He
found the place where it was written:
“The
Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to
preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the
brokenhearted; To proclaim liberty to the captives and
recovery of sight to the blind; To set at liberty those who
are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD”
(Luke 4:16–19; see also Isaiah 61:1)
(Luke 4:16–19; see also Isaiah 61:1)
Yeshua Teaches in the Synagogue,
by James Tissot
Yeshua and Yosef
(Jesus and Joseph)
Many parallels can be drawn between Yeshua and
Joseph.
At the time of Joseph’s release from prison into the
service of Pharaoh he was 30 years old, just as Yeshua was 30
when he began His public ministry in the service of the King.
Also, Joseph's appearance and personality had been so
changed during his time in Egypt that his brothers no longer
recognized him.
They stood right in front of Joseph, seeking the salvation
from their famine that only he could provide, and yet they had
no idea he was their brother.
Likewise, Yeshua’s
Jewish brothers and sisters today hold in front of them
the Scriptures that reveal who He is, and yet they are
unable to recognize Him as their Jewish Messiah.
One reason for this modern-day blindness is the way Yeshua
has been portrayed by Christians over the centuries: He seems
to have ceased being the observant Jew who faithfully kept the
commandments of God in the Torah and has, instead, been
labeled as the Gentiles’ “god.”
A 13-year-old Jewish boy reads from the Torah
for the first time publicly.
Yeshua's identity has been so changed that the
great majority of Jewish people cannot fathom that this
“Jesus” could possibly be the Jewish Mashiach
(Messiah) for whom they
have been waiting, longing and praying for over 3,000 years.
Nevertheless, the
prophet Zechariah told us that one day, all the Jewish
people will recognize Him:
“And I will pour out on the
house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of
grace and pleas for mercy, so that, when they look on Me, on
him whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for Him, as one
mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over Him, as one
weeps over a firstborn.” (Zechariah 12:10)
Today, thousands of Yeshua’s brothers and sisters are
coming to understand who He truly is: they are known as
Messianic Jews and their search for the Messiah of the
Scriptures has ended. These “completed Jews,” as some call
them, are steadily gaining recognition as a legitimate sect of
Judaism in Israel and in the world.
Reading the Torah
Another important parallel is that Joseph’s father
Israel (Jacob) had exalted Joseph, and God has exalted
Yeshua:
“When He appeared as a human
being, He humbled himself still more by becoming obedient
even to death—death on a stake as a criminal! Therefore God
raised Him to the highest place and gave Him the name above
every name.” (Philippians 2:8–9)
Although Joseph’s brothers had hated him and vowed that
they would never bow down to him, as his dreams suggested they
would (Genesis 37:19–20), we see in this Parasha
that in the end
(miketz), they do come and bow down to their brother
Joseph.
This is a prophetic picture of the day when all of Israel
will recognize Yeshua’s authority, and every knee will bow to
Him and know that He is the Lord.
“... that in honor of the name
given Yeshua, every knee will bow—in heaven, on earth and
under the earth—and every tongue will acknowledge that
Yeshua the Messiah is ADONAI—to the glory of God the
Father.” (Philippians 2:10; see also Isaiah 45:23)
Please pray that the Jewish People will recognize Yeshua
(Jesus) in Zechariah's Messianic prophecy as they hear about
the Righteous Branch and the promise that sin will be removed
in a single day.
On this Festival of Dedication, please also consider
sending a special gift to help set the captives free from
sin. Your gift shines a light in the darkness by helping us
explain the Messianic prophecies to the Jewish People.
"In Him was life,
and that life was the light of all mankind." (John
1:4)

The Jewish people (the People of the Book)
gave the world the BIBLE. Today there are about 14 million
Jewish people in the world though most have never studied
the Messianic Prophecies. Finally, for the first time, there will
be a Hebrew Messianic Prophecy Bible, based on the
Ancient Dead Sea Scrolls and Masoretic texts translated
into hundreds of languages, exposing the true meanings.
Many have falsely said that God is finished with His
Chosen People; however, Bible prophecy clearly states that
this will never be so. In fact, in these Last Days, God is moving
among His people to physically and spiritually restore them.
