PARASHA  “Matot” (tribes) and Masei (Journeys of)  

Numbers 30:1-32:42,  33:1-36:13………….Jeremiah 1:1-2:3…………John 1:1-51 

…..I am not feeling very well now, intestinal cramps, so I will have to make this parasha a little short, so if anyone out there has a natural remedy for intestinal cramps, (without chemicals) leave me a comment.

…..Making vows, promises, etc.  We need to be careful upon making “vows” Adonai takes serious “promises” that we make, especially using “His” Holy Name (YHVH).  We might have said in times before words like;  “I sware to God that I’ll____________,  or “I promise that I’ll______” or “Next week by this time, I’ll________!

But how do you know that you will still be in the land of the living by next week to fulfill your promise? We take “making promises too lightly”.  

…..If we remember the Israelie “Yeptah” who, upon winning a war against Israel’s enemies, “vowed” a vow and said, “Whatever comes out first from my house to meet me, I will offer it up as a burnt offering”.  I am sure that he was probably thinking of some animal, be it a lamb or a goat, yet when he got home, his only “daughter” came out to meet him.  The WORD of God says he “kept” his vow, yet how can we imagine that God would accept a human sacrifice? The WORD does not say, but there is a possibility that he DID offer up his daughter, yet not as a burnt offering, but perhaps a servant to the Levites in the tabernacle,  

…..What did Yeshua say about vows?  “Let our YES be YES, and NO, be NO” without more words.  We might have good intentions, yet only the LORD manages our time on earth.  If we say that we will do something, and we use God’s name, and we end up NOT doing it, we will have taken HIS HOLY NAME in vain.  So, what words can we say when we want to do something, without “vowing”. 

…..”If God permits, I will try to____________”  or  “I am not sure if I can, but, I will try to________”  these words seem better, because it leaves the option “if God permits” .  We can make plans for the future, but the future is always in the hands of Adonai 

JEREMIAH 1:1-2:3   

…..The calling of Navi YirimYahu (the prophet Jeremiah) As we see in the beginning, God says, “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you!”  A great statement, a great truth that flies in the face of abortionists, those that say, “a fetus in not yet human”.  If God is saying that EVEN BEFORE” being formed in the womb, He had Jeremiah in mind. 

…..Where are we before being formed in the womb of our mothers.  No one seems to know; the WORD does not say.  Some believe that we are in Spirit form and that we await bodies to go into, and that when a man and woman unite together in love making, when the sperm meets the egg, there is a guardian angel that is sent to be with that person, and either God or the angel takes the spirit and puts it inside the tiny microscopic body.  Well, who knows if this is true, but it might just be that way. 

…..Everyone has a calling in life, we just have to find out what it is.  Our first calling is to “get right with God” and accept Yeshua as our Messiah, LORD and Savior, that act of faith will secure our eternity in Heaven.  Then we must search out hearts and ask the LORD what our calling will be.  It may be full time ministry, it may be a secular job joined with ministry.  The gifts of the Holy Spirit will enable us to do many things.   Jeremiah was called to a difficult task, to “wake up” the nation of Israel that was seeded deep in sin, his calling as “Prophet” (or spokesman) was for him, he accepted it, and we have his book to prove it.  

…..Prophets declared the words of Adonai to the nations, today we have the complete written word of God.  Everything we need to know is written in the Bible.  His entire WORD is in 66 books.   Can God speak through individuals today with “special words?” Sure, but those words will NOT contradict what is already written in the Torah.

…..If you are called to teach and expound God’s WORD, (which was the mission of the prophets of old in a general way)  STUDY to show thyself WORTHY, a WORKMAN that needeth not be ashamed, but rightfully dividing the WORD of TRUTH! 

JOHN 1:1-51  

…..”In the beginning, was the WORD, and the WORD was with God and GOD was the WORD” This opening statement clarifies that YESHUA was part of the creation in the beginning, Yeshua has many names;  Son of David, The Second Adam, Son of Man, the WAY, the TRUTH, the LIFE, the LIVING WORD, and many more.

…..WORDS are alive, and with words, Elohim created the heavens and the earth, bringing into being all that is in existence today.  There are the things that were “created” (Bara) and those things (such as man) that were “Made” (Asah) “Asah” is used when things are “made” from pre-existing material, such as Adam (man) from earth, dust, water, and the spirit was put inside the body. 

…..In time, GOD was manifested in human form as YESHUA, who is the “Living WORD” to pay the price of sin, to crush the head of HaSatan, to teach the Torah, heal the sick, We as followers of Yeshua are called to share and teach his WORD to all who will listen.  Are you fulfilling YOUR CALLING?   

Shabbat Shalom………Ben Avraham
