#ShabbatShalom - Welcome to Bo (Come!), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion). "BO" is the portion of Torah
that will be read in synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday) service.
Please read it along with us. We know you will be blessed!

In last week’s Parasha Va'era, we read of the first seven calamities (makot) that God inflicted upon Egypt to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery. This week in Parasha Bo, God sends the most devastating and final three plagues:  locust, darkness and death of the firstborn. After the final plague, Pharaoh finally acquiesces, triggering the Exodus of the Hebrews. But what were the purposes of the Ten Plagues?  To pressure Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free?  Perhaps, but God is fully capable of setting His people free without a king’s permission. He is committed to communicating something vital to them:
 "I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD." - Exodus 12:12 - Haleluyah !

Torah Teasers Parshat Bo by Moshe Erlbaum

Todah Rabah - beloved Rabbi Ralph Messer ...
Simchat Torah Beit Midrash - Joy of God’s Teaching and Instruction

What Does It Mean to Choose Life? Every decision you make can be made in a way that you are “choosing life.” The Torah is God’s constitution; it is His teaching and instruction; it is eternal and it is life. His Spirit is pure Light, abundant with untouchable, supreme, sovereign power.
God is the Source of all life.

Bo means “come.”  In this portion, we read of the final three plagues that came upon the Egyptians, which led to the Children of Israel’s departure from Egypt.  Before the final plague, the Death of the Firstborn, Moses gave the Children of Israel instructions regarding the first Passover offering: They were to bring a sheep into their dwellings, keep it there for four days, slaughter it, and eat its flesh.  They were also instructed to mark their doorposts with its blood so that the Angel of Death would not kill their firstborn during the tenth plague. This took a lot more courage than one might imagine.  Why?  Because sheep were worshipped by the Egyptians.  It was one of their gods.  Killing an Egyptian deity could have gotten the Children of Israel killed.  However, it was a vital step in their path to freedom.

Simon Parkes updates are worth watching. Here’s why.
I am focused on what Trump has being doing to advance his plan and the support for his plan that is provided by Powell, Wood, Flynn, Lindell, McInerney, Miller and Gaynor to name the most prominent.
And then on Jan 18 and the updated on Jan 20 I posted this remarkable video.

Trump will be sworn in on Mar 4/21 as the 19th President of the United States of America.
Posted Jan 18/21 and now updated.
You absolutely must watch it again.  It confirms Trump’s Plan.
Finally, I have one other source that I haven’t told you about. Mudar Zahran, who is getting ready to make his move in Jordan, is in daily communication with many intelligence operatives. He knows, as much as any one, the state of Trump’s Plan as his move depends on it.  In the days leading up to Jan 20 he advised that I keep calm and enjoy the show. A little earlier he said the show was going to be even bigger than a three ring circus.

- The military was all set to arrest everyone at the inauguration but something stopped them
that something was so huge that they decided to abort the plan
the US is now run by two governments
- Biden is in charge of domestic and diplomatic matters.
- The military are in charge of  all things military including Military Courts.
- Look for friction between the two governments.-
- Look for them to set up a military tribunal to hear evidence of the election fraud
- The military is run by Christopher Miller, the S of Defense, and Pete Gaynor, Acting Head of Homeland Security (FEMA)
- 800 senior officers and Generals are loyal to Trump
- Another 8,000 people are on his team locally and internationally
- It is expected that the military will bring Trump back either on Mar 4/21 or some date in April.

Until next week Shabbat Shalom from Israel !
In this week’s Parsha Bo,

we witness the final three plagues against Egypt.  In preparation for the final plague, the Children of Israel are commanded to sacrifice a lamb and sprinkle blood on their doorposts.  When we commemorate the Exodus on Seder night, we have a tradition to refrain from eating roast meat or lamb so that it does not appear that we are trying to replace the Paschal lamb.  Since Passover is still months away and lamb has a starring role this week, we decided to try a 5-ingredient Roasted Lamb with Lemon Potatoes along with a full menu of 5-ingredient recipes that will turn heads this Shabbos.

Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Go [Bo / come] to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials
so that I may perform these signs of mine among them. Exodus 10:1



Shabbat Shalom - Parasha Bo (Come) - Plagues, Freedom and Redemption !!!



 
Welcome to Bo (Come!), this week’s Parasha (Torah Portion).
"BO" is the portion of Torah that will be read in synagogues around the world during the Shabbat (Saturday) service. 
Please read it along with us. 
We know you will be blessed!
 
Shabbat Shalom

Parasha Bo (Come!)
Exodus 10:1–13:16; Jeremiah 46:13–28; Revelation 9:1–21
 
“Then the LORD said to Moses, Go [Bo / come] to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his officials so that I may perform these signs of mine among them.’”  (Exodus 10:1)
 

Moses and Aaron with Pharaoh, by Marc Chagall
 
In last week’s Parasha, we read of the first seven calamities (makot) that God inflicted upon Egypt to persuade Pharaoh to release the Israelites from slavery.
 
This week in Parasha Bo, God sends the most devastating and final three plagues:  locust, darkness and death of the firstborn.
 
After the final plague, Pharaoh finally acquiesces, triggering the Exodus of the Hebrews.
 
But what were the purposes of the Ten Plagues?  To pressure Pharaoh to let the Israelites go free?  Perhaps, but God is fully capable of setting His people free without a king’s permission.
 
We see in this Parasha and last week's that God does not see the Egyptians simply as an enemy to be overcome; rather, He is committed to communicating something vital to them:
 
"I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt.  I am the LORD."  (Exodus 12:12)
 

A 13-year-old Jewish boy gets a little help carrying the Torah scroll.  The
average weight of a Torah scroll is 20 to 25 pounds, not including the
protective case called a Torah tik.

The plagues demonstrate God’s supremacy over and judgment on all the false gods of Egypt.
 
When Moses first asked Pharaoh to let the Israelites go, he responded, ”Who is YHVH, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go?” 
(Exodus 5:2)
 
The God of Israel wants everyone to know who He is.  And He wanted to make sure that Pharaoh and all of Egypt knew Him, too.
 
He even told Pharaoh that He was sending the powerful plague of hail, “so that you [Pharaoh] may know that there is none like Me in all the earth.”  (Exodus 9:14)
 
Pharaoh Notes the Importance of the Jewish People, by James Tissot
 
In the end, Pharaoh did come to realize the power
of the God of Israel.
 
But God was not only concerned about the beliefs of the Egyptians.  The Torah indicates that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart in order to demonstrate His power to all the nations as well as the powerlessness of their false gods.
 
God does not want to be known only to this one nation of Israel, either. He wants His name to be proclaimed in every nation on earth:
 
“For this purpose I have raised you [Pharaoh] up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth."  (Exodus 9:16)
 
And God certainly did make Himself known to Pharaoh
through the final three plagues.
 

An Orthodox Jewish man prays at the Western (Wailing)
Wall in Jerusalem.

The Eighth Plague: Locusts (Arbeh אַרְבֶּה)
“If you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory.  And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the earth; and they shall eat the residue of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.”  (Exodus 10:4–5)
 
Parasha Bo begins with the eighth plague upon Egypt—locusts.  They devoured all the crops and vegetation of Egypt
that remained after the hail.
 
Even though locusts are driven by the wind, a plague of locusts is so devastating that it cuts off the light of the sun and wipes out the food supply of the affected area.
 
In the Book of Joel, this plague makes another appearance, ravaging the land.  The Prophet Joel links it to sin and the Last Days, exhorting Israel to repent and return to the Lord.
 
God promises Israel that He will make up for all the years that the swarming locusts have devoured:
 
“I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten — the great locust and the young locust, the other locusts and the locust swarm — My great army that I sent among you.  You will have plenty to eat, until you are full, and you will praise the name of the Lord your God, who has worked wonders for you; never again will My people be shamed.”  (Joel 2:2526)
 

Swarm of locusts in Madagascar
 
Locusts are also mentioned in the Brit Chadashah (New Testament) as one of the end-time plagues upon the earth.
 
With the sounding of the fifth shofar in the Last Days, locusts emerge from the bottomless pit.
 
They will not harm the vegetation, but they will have the power to sting like a scorpion and torment men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
 
“Then out of the smoke locusts came upon the earth.  And to them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.  They were commanded not to harm the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only those men who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.”  (Revelation 9:3–4)
 
 

In the ninth plague, God revealed to the Egyptians that
their sun god Ra was nothing but stone and that the God
of Israel is the One True God.
 
The Ninth Plague: Darkness (Hosek חוֹשֶך)
“Then the LORD said to Moses, ‘Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt — darkness that can be felt.’  So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days.  No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days.”  (Exodus 10:21–23)
 
With the ninth plague of darkness, Adonai delivered a crushing blow to the worship of the Egyptian sun god, Ra, demonstrating the folly of believing in idols and mythical deities.
 
Although the Egyptians were plunged into total darkness, the Israelites enjoyed light in their dwellings in the land of Goshen.
 
While everyone outside the shelter of God’s covenant live in ever deepening darkness, especially as the end of the age approaches, the light of Believers in Yeshua shines ever more brightly. 
(Proverbs 4:18)
 
Today, there are so many reports of evil, and many are fearful of what may come upon us.  Nevertheless, even when there is total, paralyzing darkness in the world, we can still have light in our dwellings, just as the Israelites had in Goshen.
 

Shabbat candles
 
It is time for us to stop cursing the darkness and, instead, start living in the light.
 
Instead of complaining, murmuring and fault finding over the darkness of “Egypt” (the world), we can be all that God has made us to be, shining as lights in the midst of a dark and perverse generation.  (Philippians 2:14–15)
 
And if we think that we do not know the Word enough to be a bright light, we must remember that even the smallest of lights shine brilliantly in the darkest of places.
 
The Bible says that the wicked stumble in the darkness and do not even know what makes them trip.  (Proverbs 4:19)
 
When people are in complete darkness, they cannot perceive anything outside of themselves.  In this state of darkness, it is easy to live in a completely self-centered, miserable world.  Often a symptom of this darkness is using people for self-benefit.
 
But God’s presence in our lives promotes a kind of love that is giving, not self-seeking.  (1 Corinthians 13:5)
 

Torah scroll and yad (Torah pointer)
 
We need Yeshua, the Light of the World to set us free from our own preoccupation with ourselves so that we may truly love our neighbor.
 
Sadly, far too many of us who have been set free from darkness to live in the light still willfully stumble in the darkness of unforgiveness, bitterness, and resentment.  We must determine to let these go and walk in God's holy Light.
 
Just as paralyzing darkness fell on Egypt, many in the world will one day experience a great, devastating darkness, which is one of the end-time plagues mentioned in the Book of Revelation.
 
When the angel pours out the fifth bowl of God’s wrath, the kingdom of the beast will be plunged into total darkness. 

This foreshadows the state of people who descend into Sheol (hell), where there is a complete absence of all light.  Revelation tells us that even this will not convince the servants of Satan to repent and turn to the Maker of All.
 
"Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became full of darkness; and they gnawed their tongues because of the pain.  They blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores, and did not repent of their deeds.”  (Revelation 16:10–11)

The Tenth Plague: The Striking of the Firstborn
(Macat B’Chorot מַכַּת בְּכוֹרוֹת)
“This is what the LORD says: ‘About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.  Every firstborn in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.  There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt—worse than there has ever been or ever will be again."  (Exodus 11:4–6)
 
When Pharaoh still refused to repent and relent after the Plague of Darkness, God sent the tenth and most devastating plague — the Striking of the Firstborn of Egypt.
 
Egypt’s king refused to let God’s firstborn (Israel) go, so God took Pharaoh's firstborn and those of his loyal subjects.  The word is clear — God will treat the nations (and individuals) as they have treated Israel!
 
God acts on behalf of His people and judgment will fall on the enemies of Israel.
 
While Pharaoh was perhaps unmoved, remaining stubborn and proud as the rest of the land suffered under God’s hand, when God struck down his firstborn son, the hardness of his heart was broken through.  
 
How tragic that it took the death of Pharaoh’s own child to bring him to the place of humility and submission where he was willing to let God’s people go.

May our hearts be soft toward the leading of the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) so that God will never need to use increasingly painful disciplinary measures to break through our stubborn and willful pride and bring us into a holy place before Him.
 
Moses prepared the people of Israel for this final judgment on Egypt by instructing them to sacrifice a lamb and to put its blood on the tops and sides of their doors.
 
“And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.”  (Exodus 12:7)
 
The blood of the Passover lamb served as the sign that caused the judgment to “pass over” the Israelites, sparing them from suffering the wrath of God that fell upon the Egyptians.
 
“Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are.  And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” 
(Exodus 12:13)
 

Lamb
 
At the conclusion of this Parasha, Moses leads the children of Israel out of Egypt, and the Lord gives them the ordinances
of the Passover.
 
Thus the Lord did all He had promised; not one Word that the Lord had spoken was left unfulfilled.  Reminding ourselves of this truth helps us to also trust in God’s faithfulness, power, and mercy now and
in the days to come.
 
Today, the Jewish People still celebrate this miraculous
Passover each year.
 
“So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations.  You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.”  (Exodus 12:14)
 
Individual Believers and entire churches are increasingly commemorating Passover as well, since it foreshadows Yeshua the Messiah, the Lamb of God who was sacrificed in order to spare us from the judgment of God.
 
A man reads from the Passover Haggadah (Telling / Order) as everyone
raises a glass of wine, a custom during the Passover Seder (traditional dinner). 
 
Redeeming the Firstborn
Because God spared the firstborn Jewish sons from the 10th plague, we find in this Torah portion the command to consecrate or set apart for Him every firstborn male.  (Exodus 13:1–2)
 
As well, because they were spared, the firstborn traditionally fasts on the day before Passover to commemorate this miracle.
 
However, the firstborn sons ended up worshiping the Golden Calf along with most of Israel, so they forfeited their right
to serve God in the Temple.
 
God, instead, gave that right to the tribe who did not worship the Calf — the Levites.
 
Jewish parents, therefore, redeem their firstborn sons in a special ceremony called the Pidyon HaBen (Redemption of the Firstborn Son).  (Numbers 3:45–47)
 
In this ceremony the firstborn is fully absolved from the duty to perform Temple Service.
 

The Pidyon HaBen (redemption of the firstborn son) is a
traditional Jewish ritual that has been practiced since ancient times.
 
This symbolic ritual of redeeming the firstborn son out of Temple Service continues today with the payment of five silver shekels (or about 4.4 ounces of pure silver) to a man of Cohen descent, according to the command given by Moses:
 
"Take the Levites in place of all the firstborn of Israel, and the livestock of the Levites in place of their livestock.  The Levites are to be mine.  I am the Lord.  To redeem the 273 firstborn Israelites who exceed the number of the Levites, collect five shekels for each one, according to the sanctuary shekel, which weighs twenty gerahs.  Give the money for the redemption of the additional Israelites to Aaron and his sons.”  (Numbers 3:45–48)
 
 
The Israeli Mint has created special edition silver commemorative coins
for Pidyon HaBen (Redemption of the Firstborn) services.  The weight of
the five coins corresponds to the weight of the five silver sheqalim given
to the Cohen in Temple times for the Redemption of the Firstborn.
 

It is because of God’s enduring mercy that He brought each one of us out of the darkness that held us captive.

“To Him who struck down the firstborn in Egypt
    His love endures forever
and brought Israel out from among them
    His love endures forever;
With a mighty hand and an outstretched arm
    His love endures forever.”  (Psalm 136:10–12)

 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.
