http://conpats.blogspot.com/2017/02/chuck-kolb-02232017-real-mexican.html

Welcome to Mishpatim (Laws), this week’s Parasha (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 !


 
In last week’s portion of Scripture, Israel received the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.
 
This week, God gives specific legislation—laws called mishpatim, which means judgments. 
These are intended to guide the daily lives of His holy nation in justice and righteousness.

Mishpatim
Are laws meant be broken – or to fix the broken?

In the afterglow of Sinai, the laws of order are drafted. From criminal law to civil to fiscal, the legislative ideals of heaven and the practical courts of earth are fleshed out. How to treat a foreigner? How to optimize agriculture? How about the relationship between milk and meat? All told, 53 of the 613 mitzvoth are herein diagrammed. With Aaron in charge of the camp, Moses ascends on high for forty days and forty nights to download the entirety of the Torah and the intricacies of all the Mitzvoth. [...]

Weekly Torah Portion: Mishpatim

We can liberate ourselves by recognizing that G-d is all there is and that all the world belongs to Him. The lofty ideals and transcendent experience of the Sinai revelation need to be translated into action and transformed into a "G-d conscious consciousness" that informs and animates our every thought and deed.

While Rabbi Chaim Richman is in the USA for upcoming speaking engagements, Yitzchak Reuven mans the lone microphone and tries to understand the significance of Sinai, not only for the Children of Israel who stood at Sinai 4000 years ago, but for all of us who stand at Sinai today! Why is upholding civil law every bit a matter of worshiping G-d as is keeping Shabbat, and why is honoring our fellow man an essential aspect of honoring G-d? Set down your smart phones for a moment and contemplate what it must be like to eat and drink while at the same time experiencing a mind-blowing vision of G-d, and why such a scenario is not so far fetched at all!

Benjamin Netanyahu Supports Pardon for Hebron Shooter Azaria
by JNI Media

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on a state visit to Australia, on Thursday told reporters he favors pardoning Private (formerly Sergeant) Elor Azaria, “Due to the special circumstances soldiers like him are under,” as he put it, Israel Radio reported. Azaria was sentenced to 18 months in military jail after he was convicted for killing a neutralized terrorist in Hebron last year. Netanyahu explained that those special circumstances are the fear experienced by soldiers and other security forces of defending themselves during terrorist attacks, lest a court later punish them for their actions.

Terror Bio-Plague Could Kill 30 Million in Fulfillment of Zechariah End-of-Days Prophecy
by Adam Eliyahu Berkowitz

It is a “reasonable probability” that terrorists will use biological weapons to create a pandemic that would kill tens of millions, Bill Gates told an international security conference last Saturday. The scenario the billionaire philanthropist described is disturbingly similar to plagues prophesied to occur in the end-of-days, and terrorists have already made attempts to bring it on. “Whether it occurs by a quirk of nature or at the hand of a terrorist, epidemiologists say a fast-moving airborne pathogen could kill more than 30 million people in less than a year,” Gates announced in his address to the Munich Security Conference. “And they say there is a reasonable probability the world will experience such an outbreak in the next 10-15 years. While “natural epidemics can be extremely large,” he warned, “intentionally caused epidemics, bioterrorism, would be the largest of all.” [...]

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION

The end of Palestine
by Daniel Greenfield

Palestine is many things. A Roman name and a Cold War lie. Mostly it’s a justification for killing Jews. Palestine was an old Saudi-Soviet scam which invented a fake nationality for the Arab clans who had invaded and colonized Israel. This big lie transformed the leftist and Islamist terrorists run by them into the liberators of an imaginary nation. Suddenly the efforts of the Muslim bloc and the Soviet bloc to destroy the Jewish State became an undertaking of sympathetically murderous underdogs. But the Palestine lie is past its sell by date.

These are the ordinances [mishpatim הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים] that you are to set before them.
Exodus 21:1



Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Mishpatim - What's so Special about Being a Slave !!!




A 12-year-old Jewish girl reads from the Torah scroll at her synagogue for the first time.
 
Shabbat Shalom !
 
Welcome to Mishpatim (Laws), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
 
This portion of Torah will be read during this week’s Shabbat (Saturday) service in synagogues all around the world.
 
Mishpatim (Laws)
Exodus 21:1–24:18; Jeremiah 34:8–22, 33:25–26; Colossians 3:1–25
 
“These are the ordinances [mishpatim הַמִּשְׁפָּטִים] that you are to set before them.”  (Exodus 21:1)
 
In last week’s portion of Scripture, Israel received the Ten Commandments at Mount Sinai.
 
This week, God gives specific legislation—laws called mishpatim, which means judgments.  These are intended to guide the daily lives of His holy nation in justice and righteousness.
 

A Jewish man wearing tefillin (phylacteries) holds a Torah scroll protected
by a sturdy case called a tik.
 
Once We Were Slaves
“When you acquire a Jewish bondsman, for six years he shall work and in the seventh year he shall go free.”  (Exodus 21:2)
 
Since the Israelites had just been released from slavery, the first of God’s mishpatim deals with servants and slaves.
 
According to the rabbis, the six years that a slave is obligated to work represent the 6,000 years that we will work to serve the Lord.  The seventh year of freedom represents the Messianic age—the thousand years when we will rule and reign from Jerusalem with Messiah, who will sit on the Throne of His earthly father David.
 
Several verses later in this passage, the painful experiences of the Israelites in Egypt are highlighted again, this time to elicit empathy for the foreigner.  God commands the Israelites that foreigners be treated with kindness and respect.
 
“You shall neither mistreat a stranger nor oppress him, for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.”  (Exodus 22:21)
 

A Jewish teen holds a Torah scroll covered by an ornately decorated
Torah mantle that commemorates those who perished in Nazi death
camps during the Holocaust.
 
In total, Parasha Mishpatim contains 53 mitzvot (commands) 23 imperative commandments and 30 prohibitions.
 
This series of laws, also called “The Covenant Code” by some Bible scholars, specify penalties for various violent crimes such as murder, kidnapping, and assault.  Pre-meditated murder, kidnapping, and striking or even cursing a parent all carry the death penalty.
 
“And he who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death.”  (Exodus 21:17)
 
Laws were also given regarding how to make reparation for assault and injuries caused by animals, as well as damage to crops or livestock.  They prohibit seduction of virgins, the practice of sorcery, bestiality, idolatry, and mistreating the disadvantaged of society.
 
Infractions of these laws often carry the severest of penalties—death by stoning—since God wanted to keep peace and order within the camp.
 
But it is more than that.  God has genuine concern for justice and the well-being of the individual.  
 
For instance, if a widow or fatherless child is to cry out to God because of someone’s ill treatment of them, God promises He will pour out His fierce wrath upon their oppressor and kill them so that their wives would be widows and their children fatherless (Exodus 22:22–24).
 

An Israeli family in Jerusalem
 
Remember the Sabbath and the Appointed Times
This week’s Parasha also reveals the law of the Sabbath, which is more than a Sabbath rest every seventh day.
 
Every seven years, the land is to enjoy a Sabbath rest called the Shemitah.  Israel ended its seventh year of letting the land lie fallow in September 2015.
 
“Six years you shall sow your land and gather in its produce, but the seventh year you shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of your people may eat; and what they leave, the beasts of the field may eat.”  
(Exodus 23:10–11)
 
As well, the three pilgrimage festivals are mentioned as a time when all adult Jewish males are to appear before the Lord: Pesach (Passover), Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles).
 
“Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord GOD.”  (Exodus 23:17)

In this Parasha, Moses reads before all the people the Book of the Covenant that God has given Israel.  After the people commit to keeping God’s law, Moses sprinkles blood upon the altar and on the people as well, since all covenants are formally ratified and are usually sealed with blood.
 
“Then he took the Book of the Covenant and read in the hearing of the people.  And they said, ‘All that the LORD has said we will do, and be obedient.’  And Moses took the blood, sprinkled it on the people, and said, ‘This is the blood of the covenant which the LORD has made with you according to all these words.’”  (Exodus 24:7–8)
 
Likewise, the New Covenant was sealed with the blood of Messiah, Yeshua, the Lamb of God.  At the Passover meal with His disciples, Yeshua held up the cup of redemption and said, “This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.”  (Luke 22:20)
 
The most righteous of all men, Yeshua HaMashiach, became the final atonement for all generations who accept His sacrifice on their behalf.
 
“I, the LORD, have called you in righteousness; I will take hold of your hand.  I will keep you and will make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Gentiles, to open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”  (Isaiah 42:6–7)

Haftarah (Prophetic Reading) for Mishpatim
Haftarah Mishpatim opens with a covenant that King Zedekiah (last king of the First Temple time) and the people of Jerusalem made with each other before God in His holy Temple.
 
In that covenant, they agreed to free the Hebrew slaves who had been held longer than the prescribed term of six years.
 
Sadly, it seems the people tried to manipulate God by freeing their slaves as God commanded so that He would turn back siege forces coming against Jerusalem.  
 
Once those siege forces turned back, the people broke the covenant by forcing the freed men and women back into slavery.
 
God reminds them of the seriousness of this covenant with each other by including in Jeremiah's prophecy their act of walking between two halves of a slaughtered animal.  
 
Why such a gory scene?  
 
Covenants are not to be taken lightly.  As covenant parties walked through these bloodied carcasses, they saw the punishment to themselves of violating the covenant they made—they would also be cut in two, metaphorically if not literally.
 

Jewish pilgrims visit the Western (Wailing) Wall during
Passover.  On the Temple Mount, the Muslim Dome of the
Rock occupies the spot where the Holy of Holies once stood.
 
In this Haftarah, God chastised the people for violating the covenant they made.  They also violated the law God gave their ancestors when they left Egypt—to free slaves after six years of work.
 
As a result, God promised to release famine, pestilence, and the sword over the city—to bring Babylon against Jerusalem, which occurred under Zedekiah's watch.
 
Jeremiah 34:8–16, therefore, is a judgment prophecy against the re-enslavement of Judean slaves and the breaking of covenant.
 
Still, today, we cannot make a covenant with God in order to get a particular result (in this case, the safety of Jerusalem), and then renege on our agreement once we get what we want.
 
Just as God had His eye on the covenant made with Zedekiah, He has His eye on the covenants and promises that we make with Him and with one another.
 
Moreover, we cannot expect to treat people as less worthy than ourselves—to take away their inalienable rights or take advantage of their time, talents, or labor—and expect God's blessings.
 
God is not like that; He is a covenant-keeping God and He wants us to be just as faithful.
 
"If I have not made My covenant with day and night and established the laws of heaven and earth, then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David My servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  For I will restore their fortunes and have compassion on them." 
(Jeremiah 33:25–26)
 
 
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.
 
"You will again have compassion on us; You will tread our sins underfoot and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea."  (Micah 7:19)

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.
