CHUCK KOLB 03/25/2016

Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Tzav (Command) - Victory Over Death !!!

Previously posted ...
Maundy Thursday till It is Finished !!!

http://conpats.blogspot.com/2016/03/chuck-kolb-03242016.html

Welcome to this week’s reading of the Torah portion called Tzav (Command!).
Please join with us as we study the Scriptures that will be read this Shabbat
(Saturday) in synagogues around the world. We know you will be blessed as
you study this Torah portion with us.  Enjoy !


Last week, in Parasha Vayikra, God spoke to Moses from the Tent of Meeting,
giving him the laws of the offerings (korbanot קָרְבָּנוֹת), detailing the circumstances
under which they would be offered in order to draw close to God.

In Tzav, the priests are given the procedure for offering the necessary sacrifices
on behalf of all the nation of Israel.  As these offerings are read in the synagogue,
however, few will connect those offerings to the death and resurrection of Yeshua
(Jesus), which is being remembered this weekend. Nevertheless, those offerings
are essential to our understanding of what Yeshua accomplished on the tree. 
They comprise the following five categories: the burnt offering, the meal offering,
the peace offering, the sin offering, and the guilt offering.

Weekly Torah Portion: Tzav

Confusion reigns in our modern world, and every aspect of modern society seems to feed on this confusion, fanning the flames of man's existential disconnect with his own true self. The Holy Temple, and more specifically, the offering of animals on the stone altar in the Holy Temple, is designed to banish man's confusion by compelling him to focus on who he is and to Whom he is answerable. Are we just a link on the food chain, or is our G-d given soul that which determines who we can be?

Tzav (Leviticus 6:1-8:36)
Parashat Tzav is read on Shabbat:

The Portion of Tzav
Weekly Torah Portion: Sacrificial Offerings: a How-To Guide

This lengthy passage deals with the details of several sacrifices discussed in last week’s Torah portion, Vayikra. Each section is introduced with the phrase “Zot Torat…”, or “This is the law of…”. God tells Moses that he is to teach Aaron and his sons what to do with the various offerings the Children of Israel will bring. Of the burnt offering, God commands that its ashes be removed from the altar while the priest wears his holy garments, but then carried out of the camp while the priest wears other garments. The fire on the altar is to be kept burning at all times, a reminder, the Israel Bible points out, of God’s constant presence among the people. Today, this constant flame is represented by the eternal light hanging above the Torah ark in synagogues the world over. [...]

Dustin Hoffman and the Miracle of Purim
by Rabbi Yonason Goldson
... Which brings us back to the Festival of Purim.
FROM THE INSIDE OUT

The world we live in is a deceptive place. People pretend to be what they aren't. Cheap and easy pleasures promise happiness but don't deliver. Life's greatest gifts go unnoticed as they hide in plain sight. The soul summons us to reach for greatness but the body pulls us in the opposite direction. And we ourselves go into hiding, donning masks to play the parts that we think others expect of us, lying to them and lying to ourselves. We chase empty dreams because we're unwilling, or afraid, to search for fulfilling truths. Often we take refuge in mind-altering chemicals like alcohol to blunt the relentless feeling of futility born of confusion. Ironically, dressing in disguise provides us an opportunity to be ourselves. If no one knows who we are -- even if we're only pretending that no one knows who we are – we suddenly become free to be ourselves, to drop the masks we wear everyday because we're protected by the masks that hide our identity.

The NWO's Final Plan Coming Into View - Left Wants More Terror To Take Our Freedoms
While The 'Thorn In The Globalists Side' Slams United Nations And NATO
by Stefan Stanford - All News Pipeline - Live Free Or Die

The new story from Mike Adams over at Natural News tells us that ISIS planned to unleash a nuclear holocaust in Brussels by attacking a nuclear plant there and Adams reminds us, due to the current administration's open door policies, hundreds of nuclear facilities in the US are now vulnerable to similar attacks. Since the Brussels attack, ISIS has also released a new video calling for more 'jihad' upon the West, and anybody who's been paying attention and who knows 'the history of Islam' also knows that 'jihad', or the 'holy war against infidels (non-believers),' is a central tenet of this 'religion'. As reported earlier today by Susan Duclos on ANP in her story "Chilling Details Revealed Indicates ISIS Is Prepared To Attack The U.S. At Any Given Moment" we learned that, despite the fact that Barack Obama said the terrorists 'are not an existential threat' to the US, we learn here they may be. The mere fact that there are an unknown amount of terrorists in the country who want to do Americans harm and are being freely permitted to go about their business of planning to harm Americans by their own families and friends, who are not turning them in, speaks volumes.

What Russia won by withdrawing from Syria
by Dr. Maxim A. Suchkov, Al MONITOR

Russian President Vladimir Putin presented medals on March 17 to armed forces personnel who distinguished themselves in Syria, congratulating the gathering of 700 military men and women and members of the defense industry for contributing to what the Kremlin is hailing as a victorious campaign in Syria. “The struggle against international terrorism is a fair and righteous cause. This is a struggle against enemies of civilization, against those who effect barbarity and violence,” he said at the Kremlin ceremony, according to his prepared remarks later made available. “Our country has demonstrated its unquestionable leadership, willpower and responsibility.” Putin outlined Russia’s three major achievements. First, “We did not let this terrorist tumor grow; [we] destroyed the bandits’ hiding places and munitions depots and blocked oil-smuggling routes that brought the terrorists their main funding,” he said.

INTO THE FRAY: Bombs in Brussels (or “It’s Islam, Stupid” revisited)
Islam is to terror as rainfall is to flooding.
by Martin Sherman, JPOST

One out of six people all over the world is a Muslim… [T]rying to say anything in general about this huge community – 1.5 billion people – will be wrong… The vast majority of these populations are not involved… with violence and terror all over the world…. I don’t think there is anything essential that connects between this huge and historically important religion and all the terrorism that’s going on – Sami Abu Shehadeh, secretary- general of Arab faction Balad, Tel Aviv-Jaffa, in a debate with me on “The rise of anti-Muslim sentiment in the West,” i24 News, December 16, 2014. This week’s column, including the introductory quotation, is largely similar to the one I wrote in January 2015 (“It’s Islam, stupid!”), two days after the carnage in the Paris offices of Charlie Hebdo, perpetrated in the name of Islam – and a day before the Islam-inspired slaughter among the shelves of kosher supermarket Hyper Cacher in the French capital.

Will Senate Democrats take violations of the Iran deal seriously?
Will Democratic senators and members of the House follow their consciences and defend American national security interests, or will they march in step with Obama?
by Eric R Mandel, JPOST

The contentious debate over the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action has not ended, but simply moved into its next predictable phase: dealing with Iranian violations of the JCPOA and UNSC Resolution 2231. Back in the summer of 2015, Democratic Senators wrestled over the difficult choice of trusting the president on Iran or risking the wrath of the administration and the Democratic leadership by opposing the deal because it would weaken American national security interests. In the end, most begrudgingly choose political allegiance over principle, but publicly promised disappointed constituents that they would meticulously monitor for Iranian violations, and be quick to respond with “snapback” sanctions if Iran reneged on the deal.

For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:
Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again; when he suffered,
he threatened not; but committed himself to him that judgeth righteously: Who his own self bare our sins in his own
body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your souls.
1 Peter 2:21-25 KJV



Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Tzav (Command) - Victory Over Death !!!




 
Shabbat Shalom !
 
Welcome to this week’s reading of the Torah portion called
Tzav
(Command!).
 
Please join with us as we study the Scriptures that will be read this Shabbat (Saturday) in synagogues around the world.
 
TZAV (Command!)
Leviticus 6:1–8:36; Jeremiah 7:21–8:3; 9:22–9:23; 1 Corinthians 15:1–58
 
“The LORD said to Moses:  ‘Command [Tzav צַו] Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the law of the burnt-offering.’”  
(Leviticus 6:89)
  

A Jewish man prays wearing a tallit (prayer shawl) and tefillin
(phylacteries) while holding a Torah scroll covered in a velvet Torah mantle.
 
Last week, in Parasha Vayikra, God spoke to Moses from the Tent of Meeting, giving him the laws of the offerings (korbanot קָרְבָּנוֹת), detailing the circumstances under which they would be offered in order to draw close to God.
 
This week’s Parasha is entitled Tzav, which means
to order or command.
 
What was God instructing Moses to command Aaron and his sons?  He was commanding the Jewish priesthood (lineage of Aaron) to observe their rights and duties as the kohanim, who in Parasha Tzav are commanded to always keep the fire on the altar burning and never to extinguish it.  (Leviticus 6:13)
 
For this reason, when we light our Shabbat candles on Friday night to usher in the Sabbath, it is customary not to blow out the flame but to let the candles burn down completely.
 
And although the fire no longer burns on the Temple altar, and our Shabbat candles burn until they go out, may our hearts always burn brightly with the fire that God Himself lit there, never to be extinguished by the cares of this world.
  

On Friday night, it is customary to kindle Shabbat candles just before the
arrival of the Sabbath.  (Photo by Robert Couse-Baker)
 
In Tzav, the priests are given the procedure for offering the obligatory sacrifices on behalf of all the nation of Israel.  As these offerings are read in the synagogue, however, few will connect those offerings to the death and resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus), which is being remembered this weekend.
 
Nevertheless, those offerings are essential to our understanding of what Yeshua accomplished on the tree.  They comprise the following five categories: the burnt offering, the meal offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.
  
1.  Korban Olah (קרבנ עלה Burnt Offerings) 
“Let him offer a male without blemish; he shall offer it of his own free will at the door of the tabernacle of meeting before the LORD.”  (Leviticus 1:3)
 
The Korban Olah is voluntary offering that is to be completely burnt.  Nothing is to be eaten.
 
To offer it, the worshiper brings a male animal without blemish to the door of the Tabernacle.  A male or female dove or pigeon can be offered if a person does not have the means to offer a bullock, ram or goat.
 
The Israelite then places his hands upon the head of the animal offering with the knowledge that this innocent animal is about to pay the price for his sin.  After the worshiper asks Adonai for forgiveness, the animal is slaughtered.
 

Israeli sheep
  
2.  Minchah (מִנְחָה – Meal Offerings) 
Tzav also describes the duties for the Minchah (present or gift) or the Meal Offering in which the people of Israel also give grain offerings.
 
The priests burn a fistful (Kometz) of this offering on the altar and eat the rest.
 
Often the choicest flour is mixed with oil and salt to make a cake, but it cannot contain leaven or honey.
 
Although honey has a pleasant smell when it boils, it smells bitter and unpleasant when it burns.  The offering was to be sweet smelling, as was the incense offered with it.
 
Salt and leaven represent two entirely different things: salt preserves things, while leaven changes them radically.  Leaven is associated with sin, pride, hypocrisy, false teaching, and worldliness
(1 Corinthians 5:6–8, Luke 12:1, Galatians 5:9, Mark 8:15)
.
  

The priest makes an offering (Source: Internet Archive)
 
While this Parasha seems to specify grain, elsewhere we see also vegetables and animals given for a Minchah
(Genesis 4:3–4; 1 Samuel 2:15–17).
 
Both Cain and Abel offered a Minchah and not a Korban Olah.  Cain and his offering were not accepted and Able and his offering were.
 
Abel offered a fat portion of the firstfruit of his flock; however, the Bible does not indicate that Cain brought the firstfruit of his produce.  It just says that he brought the fruit of the ground, which seems to indicate that the quality of the offering was substandard.
 
We can infer from this that Cain did not offer the Minchah in faith or with a good attitude (Hebrews 11:1–2, 4; 1 John 3:12).
 
Cain became embittered when God rejected both him and his offering; however, God graciously told him that if he would do well, he would be accepted.  Cain rejected Adonai's advice, likely do to unbelief, and things went from bad to worse.  He did not repent, choosing instead a path of rebellion that resulted in him killing his brother.
 
"If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?  But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it."  (Genesis 4:7)
  

Cain is resentful that Abel's offering is accepted.

3.  Shelamim (שְׁלָמִים Peace Offering) 
The Shelamim (which is related to the word shalom) is a voluntary offering that expresses a sense of wellbeing, praise, and thanksgiving, such as when Jacob and Laban made a treaty with one another.  (Genesis 31:54)
 
This offering is similar to the burnt offering; however, while male or female animals were acceptable, birds were not.  The animals are not fully burned as are burnt offerings, but only specified portions of fat and internal organs were placed on the altar.
 
A portion of the Shelamim, without the blood, is to be eaten by the priests and even by the one offering up the sacrifice.
 

Men pray at the Western (Wailing) Wall.
 
4.  Chatat (חַטָּאת Sin Offering) 
Chatat are offered for unintentional sins (Leviticus 4:1–4), sins due to carelessness or inadvertence.
 
The status of the offender dictates the class of chatat.  If the offender is the high priest or the whole community of Israel, it is considered a more serious transgression because it impacts the welfare of the entire nation.  A young bull is required and it is burned outside the camp.
 
If the offender is a leader, such as the king, a male goat is to be brought.
 
If it is an individual, a female sheep or goat is to be brought.  For these latter two, the priests are to eat the sacrifices within the Tabernacle grounds.
 
The chatat is also required for three sins of omission:
  • withholding testimony;
  • becoming impure due to an interval of forgetfulness; and
  • violating an oath unintentionally.

Reading the Torah scroll
 
5.  Asham (אָשָׁם – Guilt Offering)
Leviticus 6:5–7 details the guilt offering of a ram for the following:
  • unintentionally using sanctuary property for personal use;
  • forestalling punishment for one’s sin when one is uncertain one has sinned or for unknown sin; and
  • lying under oath or defrauding a person in regards to a found article, a deposit, loan, etc.
For an Asham, it does not suffice to simply offer a sacrifice.  The offender has to make restitution plus add an additional fifth of the value.
  

A shepherd tends his flock at a tourist attraction recreating first century
village life in Israel.
 
Around the world, as Jewish People read about the offering instituted by God Himself, many Believers in Yeshua (Jesus) will remember the price He paid to rescue us from the power of sin.
 
“Messiah was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and He will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for Him.”  (Hebrews 9:28)
 
In fulfillment of Scripture, Yeshua became our guilt offering, paying the price for sin once and for all.
 
“Though the Lord makes His life a guilt offering, He will see His offspring and prolong His days, and the will of the Lord will prosper in His hand.”
(Isaiah 53:10)
 
Confession and restitution is still our moral responsibility to one another when we sin, yet the sacrifice to remove our guilt and cleanse us has been made by Yeshua.
 
Feeling guilty when we sin is healthy; it’s a sign that we must make amends.  But to keep feeling guilty after restitution has been made and the sacrifice has been paid is not healthy.  We can receive Yeshua's sacrifice as our own once we acknowledge our guilt and make amends.
 
While the guilt offerings on the altar of the Temple only covered sin, Yeshua’s death and resurrection actually removed sin for all time.
 
As Yochanan (John) said when he saw Yeshua coming to him at the Jordan River, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.”  (John 1:29)
  

Though Yeshua endured an agonizing death to atone for the sin of the
world, He rose again on the third day.  Because He was completely
sinless, death could not hold Him.  Had He not borne our sins, He
wouldn't have died at all.
 
Yeshua Is Prepared for Burial
“Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus [Yeshua].  …
With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away.”  
(John 19:38)
 
On Good Friday, Christians remember the horrific death that Yeshua suffered on our behalf.
 
Believers also read how Joseph (Yosef) of Arimathea and Nicodemus (Nakdimon) came to Pilate to ask for Yeshua’s body.
 
Because Jewish burial customarily takes place within 24 hours, in keeping with Jewish practice, they sought to bury Yeshua right away.
 
They also prepared Yeshua’s body for burial with tahara, ritual purification.  In this ritual, the body is cleansed, and then dried and dressed in takhrikhim, a simple white shroud  (Mark 15:46–47).
 
“Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.  Taking Yeshua’s body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.  This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.”  (John 19:39–40)
  

Although Yosef and Nakdimon carefully prepared
Yeshua's body for burial, when the women came
to the tomb after High Shabbat had ended, it was
empty and the burial linen was left to the side.
Yeshua had already risen from the dead.
 
When Yosef and Nakdimon performed the mitzvah of preparing Yeshua’s body for burial, they were performing the duties of the Khevra Kadisha — a burial association that ensures the body is correctly prepared for burial and protected from desecration.
 
By wrapping Yeshua in linen, they were practicing the custom of takhrikhim, providing the proper burial garment for the deceased.
 
Since the Sabbath was quickly approaching, there was insufficient time to
complete the preparations before the holy day of the Passover began; therefore, Yeshua was placed in a sealed tomb until the close of the High Sabbath day.
 
Thus, Yeshua was buried in a rich man’s tomb in fulfillment of the Messianic prophecy in Isaiah 53:
 
“He was assigned a grave with the wicked, and with the rich in His death,
though He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.”  (Isaiah 53:9)

However, more important than how Yeshua was buried is that He rose from the dead and gained victory over death.  Hallelujah!
 
Both spiritual and physical death has been defeated through Yeshua’s victory,
as Saul of Tarsus (Paul) said:
 
“But Messiah has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits [bikkurim]
of those who have fallen asleep.  For since death came through a man [Adam], the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man.  For as in Adam all die, so in Messiah all will be made alive."  (1 Corinthians 15:20–22)
 
This is the ‘Good News’ that we want to share with all Jewish people, so that
they can be sure of their place in the olam habah
(the world to come).

If Death Is the Result of Sin, How Could Yeshua Die Sinless? 
"The Messiah, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed."  
(1 Corinthians 5:7)
 
Since Yeshua’s death, burial and resurrection occurred in a Hebraic context, examining Jewish customs surrounding death, burial, mourning and resurrection can further our understanding of Good Friday and Resurrection Sunday.
 
Creation, including mankind, was not intended to suffer death.
 
The first book of the Torah, Bereshit (Genesis),
reveals death as the judgment of God upon mankind for their spiritual fall in the Garden of Eden.
 
After Adam and Chava (Eve) failed their test of obedience, God said:
 
“By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground [adamah], since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.”  (Genesis 3:19)
 

When Adam and Eve sinned, all of mankind came
under the curse of the broken law.  Yeshua redeemed
us from that curse.
 
The name Adam was taken from the word for ground or earthadamah, since the man (Adam) was taken from the ground (adamah).
 
This Hebrew wordplay reveals a spiritual truth: sin has brought physical death to all of mankind and with it, a return to the earth (adamah).
 
Thus ends a person’s physical existence on earth, with the spirit separating from the body.
 
Yeshua’s death, however, was not due to His own sin, since He was sinless.  He died when He took upon Himself the sins of the world and all the guilt that comes with it.
 
“But you know that He appeared so that He might take away our sins.  And in Him is no sin.”  (1 John 3:5)
 
 

The gospels of Mark, Matthew and John report that Yeshua was handed
over to the Roman soldiers, who clothed Him in a ragged scarlet cloak,
jammed a crown of thorns on His head, and mocked Him saying, "Hail,
King of the Jews!"
 
Thankfully, Yeshua’s death wasn’t the final word.
 
Just as He promised, death couldn’t hold Him
(John 2:18–22; Matthew 26:31–32).
 
“He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our
justification.”  (Romans 4:25)
 
The sting of death is sin (1 Corinthians 15:56), and in Yeshua, death has lost its sting!
 
Therefore, we can live confidently without any fear of death or dying, as we
know that when we pass from this life, our lives continue eternally with our
loving Father in Heaven.

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.
