#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to this week's Torah study, Bechukotai (In My Statutes).
Please read with us the portion of Scripture that will be read in synagogues around the world
this Shabbat (Saturday). We know you will be blessed!
Last week in Parasha Behar, God instructed Israel to give the land a Sabbath rest in the seventh year. This Sabbatical year is called Shemitah (release). As well, God commanded that every 50th year also be a Shabbat year, the Yovel, commonly called the Year of Jubilee. Behar ends with God's directive to observe His Shabbats and reverence His sanctuary. This week's Parasha, Bechukotai, which is the last reading from the book of Leviticus, details the blessings of obedience and the curses of disobedience.
You can view this Parasha on our website complete with embedded links ...

Please note that parashat Bamidbar is being read in the land of Israel this Shabbat.
In the diaspora the previous Torah reading, Bechukotai, is being read this Shabbat.
Weekly Torah Portion: Bechukotai
The list of blessings we receive when we follow G-d's statutes and observe
His commandments is short and sweet. But don't take those blessings or their source for granted.
We stray from G-d's will at our own peril.
Bechukotai (Leviticus 26:3 - 27:34)

Filmed in the Old City of Jerusalem, this ground-breaking documentary investigates the research of renowned Biblical archaeologists, Bob Cornuke, David Sielaff and Earnest L.

If they are right, then there is nothing to stop the Jewish people building their long awaited for Third Jewish Temple in the actual site where the Temples once stood.

US Sends 900 New Troops to Saudi Arabia, Qatar Amid Iranian Threat
by JNS
The United States has sent 900 new troops to Saudi Arabia and Qatar amid the threat from Iran, announced U.S. Acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan on Wednesday. “I don’t see a change in any behavior,” he told reporters on his way to Indonesia. “The situation still remains tense. It is a high-threat environment. Last week, U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States will send 1,500 troops to the Middle East to serve in a “mostly protective role” in response to the Iranian threat. An estimated 600 were already there, reported Bloomberg, adding to the announced total.

THERE IS NO DIPLOMATIC SOLUTION
Trump Is Waging (and Winning) a Peaceful World War III Against China
by Dick Morris, WESTERN JOURNAL
But China’s aspiration to worldwide domination is anything but benign. It is a combination of Spanish mercantilism and English imperialism, seasoned with Prussian militarism and Russian expansionism. The goal is to reduce the rest of the world to colonial or dominion status, controlled politically, socially, intellectually, and economically by China. In turn, China is run by a handful of men in Beijing who need not pay the slightest attention to the views of those they govern or the nations they dominate.

Secretive Bilderberg Meeting Draws Pompeo and Kushner and even Kissenger
by Edward Wong and Alan Yuhas, NYT
In Montreux, on the eastern shore of Lake Geneva, political and business leaders from Western nations are gathering for the 67th Bilderberg Meeting, an annual forum in which participants agree not to reveal exactly what was said or who said it. It is a shadow version of Davos, the elite annual winter conference in the Swiss Alps that President Trump has attended once but has also criticized. The State Department has not even put the Bilderberg Meeting on Mr. Pompeo’s public schedule, though a senior official confirmed he was attending Saturday. Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law and Middle East adviser, is another top administration official planning to attend. The 130 or so participants also include King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands; Stacey Abrams, the American politician; Henry Kissinger, the former senior American foreign policy official; Eric Schmidt, the former chief executive of Google; and David H. Petraeus, the retired general. Some top bank executives are on the list, too.

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Bechukotai - Walking Out of Exile into Blessings !!!
Shabbat Shalom
Welcome to this week's Torah study, Bechukotai (In My Statutes).
Please read with us the portion of Scripture that will be read in synagogues around the world this Shabbat (Saturday). We know you will be blessed!
Bechukotai (In My Statutes)
Leviticus 26:3–27:34; Jeremiah 16:19–17:14; Luke 22:7–20
"If you follow My decrees [chukkot] and are careful to obey My commands [mitzvot], I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit." (Leviticus 26:3–4)

Last week in Parasha Behar, God instructed Israel to give the land a Sabbath rest in the seventh year. This Sabbatical year is called Shemitah (release). As well, God commanded that every 50th year also be a Shabbat year, the Yovel, commonly called the Year of Jubilee. Behar ends with God's directive to observe His Shabbats

This week's Parasha, Bechukotai, which is the last reading from the book of Leviticus, details the blessings of obedience and
the curses of disobedience.
the curses of disobedience.
God promises the people that they will be blessed, enjoying prosperity and security in the Land, if they keep His statutes (chukkot) and commandments (mitzvot).
He also warns that if they reject the Torah and abandon
His covenant, they will be cursed.
His covenant, they will be cursed.
This ominous exhortation is called the Tochacha (rebuke or reproof) and is one of two Torah portions in which such a warning is given.
The other is Ki Tavo (Deuteronomy 26:1–29:8).

Walking in His Blessings
Parasha Bechukotai begins with ten verses that describe the general blessings that reward obedience to God's commandments.
The first of God's promises is seasonable rain in the Land, which will produce such an abundance of fruit that the time for threshing will extend until the time for sowing seed.
"I will send you rain in its season, and the ground will yield its crops and the trees their fruit." (Leviticus 26:4)
The book of Ecclesiastes reminds us that there is a time and season for everything. (Ecclesiastes 3:1)
One needs to look no further than a season of drought in their land to understand how it brings destruction rather than blessing.
God's blessings are always delivered on time.
God's blessings are always delivered on time.

God also promises that if the Jewish people keep His commandments (Torah), then they will live in peace in their Land, They will chase their enemies, who will fall before them:
"I will grant you peace in the land, and you will lie down and no one will make you afraid.... You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you." (Leviticus 26:6–7)
This comforting section of blessing concludes with God's promise of a reciprocal relationship with His people.
If they walk in His ways, He will accept them as His people and put His Tabernacle among them, walking in their midst.
"I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people." (Leviticus 26:12)
Ultra-Orthodox Jews walk in Jerusalem (Photo by Michael Jones)
The blessings that result from obedience are framed by the metaphor of walking (halak) in His chukkot (divine decrees or statutes that defy reason, such as the law of the Red Heifer) and keeping (shamar) His mitzvot (commandments).
The list of 13 blessings ends with a curious reminder that God set the Israelites free from the bondage of slavery in Egypt.
"I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians; I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high." (Leviticus 26:13)
We understand from this verse that it is God who enabled the Israelites to walk uprightly by revealing Himself to them and setting them free from slavery.
It is only within this covenantal relationship that they
could walk in His ways.
could walk in His ways.
These verbs "walking" and "keeping" in this Torah portion imply that blessing comes from deliberate action on our parts. Nevertheless, keeping His commandments is only possible because
He has set us free.
He has set us free.
It is wonderful to claim the blessings of God; however, these promises are conditional upon our obedience. It is futile to walk in disobedience and still claim the blessings that result from our relationship with God.
Disobedience is a symptom of a broken relationship.

Disobedience, Curses, and Exile
A 28-verse section detailing about 30 specific curses that result from disobedience follows the blessing section of this parasha.
It is a list of ever-worsening consequences that will come upon God's people if they disobey His commandments.
These passages are recited in the synagogue with fear and trembling:
"I will bring on you sudden terror, wasting diseases and fever that will destroy your sight and sap your strength. You will plant seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it. I will set My face against you so that you will be defeated by your enemies; those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee even when no one is pursuing you." (Leviticus 26:16–17)
A yad (Torah pointer) is often used when reading from the Torah scroll to
protect the handwritten text and parchment as well as the sanctity of the
scroll itself.
This Torah portion underlines the importance of giving the Holy Land its Shemitah year of rest by emphasizing that it would finally be able to rest when God exiled His people because of their disobedience.
"Then the land will enjoy its sabbath years all the time that it lies desolate and you are in the country of your enemies; then the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths." (Leviticus 26:34)
Indeed, God brought upon His people the worst punishment ever — exile from their own Land.
Although a remnant remained in the Land, the Jewish People were scattered to the four corners of the earth where they have been persecuted in the nations.
"I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out My sword and pursue you. Your land will be laid waste, and your cities will lie in ruins." (Leviticus 26:33)
While the Jewish People remained in exile, the Land itself received the rest that the people denied it when they inhabited it.

Despite the excruciating description of severe punishments and terrible calamities that would come on Israel for her disobedience, God ends with a word of comfort and consolation:
"Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, nor will I so abhor them as to destroy them, breaking My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
"But I will remember for them the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD." (Leviticus 26:44–45)
God's love for His people is not based on the fickleness of human emotion; it is based on the bedrock of covenant.
Although the covenant blessings promised to the Israelites when they left Egypt came with specific if / then conditions, the Abrahamic Covenant upon which they were based was given without conditions.
For evidence of the reliability of the Bible and the faithfulness of God, we need to look no further than the establishment of the modern-day state of Israel, the restoration of the land to amazing fruitfulness, and the drawing of His people home to the Promised Land from the four corners of the globe.

Trusting in God
"Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the LORD." (Jeremiah 17:5)
The prophetic portion of Bechukotai follows the theme of the blessings associated with walking with God in a covenantal relationship and the curses associated with walking away from Him.
In this portion, the prophet Jeremiah rebukes the people of Israel for idolatry and faithlessness, telling them that they will go into exile.
But the Haftarah section ends with a note of anticipation when Jeremiah shows his trust in the Hope of Israel by praying, "Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for You are my praise." (Jeremiah 17:14)
Elsewhere in Jeremiah, God promises through this prophet a New Covenant (Brit Chadashah), in which the law of God would be written on the heart.
"'The days are coming,' declares the LORD, 'when I will make a new covenant (Brit Chadashah) with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they broke My covenant, though I was a husband to them.'" (Jeremiah 31:31–32)
The Passover Seder (ritual meal; literally, order) follows a pattern that is
set in the Haggadah, a Jewish text that is read on the first night of
Passover. Among the symbolic foods served at the Seder are matzah
(unleavened bread) and four cups of wine: the Cup of Sanctification; the
Cup of Deliverance; the Cup of Redemption; and the Cup of Restoration.
This New Covenant was sealed in the blood of Yeshua the Messiah when he died on the Roman execution stake.
On the Passover, less than a day before His death, Yeshua held up the Cup of Redemption and said, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is poured out for you." (Luke 22:20)
Under the strength of this covenant, our sins are forgiven and remembered no more. (Isaiah 43:25)
But does this new-found freedom in Messiah give us a license to sin, forsaking the standards set forth in God's law? The Jewish Rabbi Sha'ul (apostle Paul) answers this question with a resounding chas v'chalilah! (God forbid!)
"What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?" (Romans 6:1–2)
An Orthodox Jewish man prays at the Western (Wailing) Wall.
While Yeshua has paid the price for our sins and the resulting curse of the law, and we can abide in God's love through faith, the New Covenant in no way nullifies our call to walk in holiness.
He has set us free from slavery to sin and we need no longer serve that evil master, suffering the curses of the law.
Neither do we need to serve God in fear of punishment; rather, we are now free to enjoy the relationship promised in this Torah portion. He walks among us, and we are His people who serve Him out of love, devotion, and gratitude for all He has done for us.
The apostle Paul wrote in the book of Romans that there is nothing — absolutely nothing — which can separate us from the love of God that is in Messiah Yeshua.
Now that is truly the good news!
"For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Messiah Yeshua Adoneinu (our Lord)." (Romans 8:38–39)
The vast majority of Jewish people here in the Holy Land and around the world do not know forgiveness of sins through Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah).
As His follower, you have the power to make a difference through your intercessory prayers and your freewill offerings.
Shabbat Shalom from the Entire Bibles For Israel Family!
