Living Torah

We enter into the Holy Place. It is an area of service, duty and preparation. Each item has special meaning and directs our steps toward the goal of the Tabernacle.

The Holy of Holies is the place of His presence. It is here that we understand our very reason for life; the presence of our Creator. Join in our walk that began with a place of knowledge that has brought us to the place of Him.

Hanoch is back home! So much to report on this week from politics to a tree planting that stands in the way of world peace. connecttoisrael.org

Regulations. Instructions. Maybe just plain common sense from above on how we should treat one another. After all, how we treat one another is tied to how we are treating our Creator. One word to sum it all up? Responsibility!

News and updates from Sabi Hanoch. Why is HaShem so faithful? It is a mystery beyond our comprehension. connecttoisrael.org

“The Path Toward The Destination” Focusing on our destination is essential, but if we must also keep an eye on where our feet step as we are walking. God says He will direct our step, which means He will help us in the placement of our steps. How do we receive this help? Admitting we need help is a vital beginning. Falling in love with that help takes our walk to a whole new level!

Egypt is now in the Hebrews rear view mirror and that is a problem that will hinder their walk. Driving while looking in the rear-view mirror can be dangerous to your forward progress. It sure was for the Hebrews. Time to learn a different way of life, thanksgiving instead of complaining!

News from the Land and a discussion on the bones in the wilderness of exile. Where will your legacy be buried? connecttoisrael.org

The last plagues are coming upon Egypt and it is time to go home! Why did all this have to happen? Why will it have to happen again? Is part of the answer in the “mixed multitude”? Was this group the prophetic shadow of our lives today?

I bit different approach this week. Are we just seeking to validate what we think we know or truly desiring to learn?

“The Goal Set Before Us” Is life about the journey or the destination? Which is more important for us to focus on? What if you find yourself walking the wrong direction? Is it ever too late to make direction changes? So many life lessons are packed into the hour.

Let the plagues begin! What is the purpose of the plagues? Are they about Egypt, the Hebrews, something else? Is the answer yes? Is there one answer more right than the others? How relevant is that question today? Beware of false repentance of today’s systems!

“Walking The Road” If our “confession” does not change our walk then our words may have been just that, words. In Messiah God has made Himself approachable to us. This one thought separates us from all other religions on this earth. He is approachable, but it is our choice to make the first life changing steps toward Him.

Our Internet connection had issues on top of its issues. We work through it the best as we can for a short update. connecttoisrael.org

The story of deliverance begins. Will we read it or allow it to read us? The lives of Moshe and the Hebrews are recorded for us so that we will not make the same mistakes they made. Embracing our calling in the deliverance story may not make the process easy, but will ensure less mistakes along the way.

“If You Confess” How serious do we take the words we speak? Are our words simply audible vibrations for others to hear or are they words of commitment? Can others count on us to follow through with our confession? Can God count on the same?

Jacob is able to enjoy his growing family in the last years of his life. Like all though, his life comes to an end. Jacob is given a special gift of speaking prophecy over his family. Was he speaking to his family gathered before him on that day or to a family in the future? If the answer is yes, we may want to pay attention.

“While We Were” How do you purify the impure? Lessons of life can give us lessons for life. The fact that God would desire to step into our lives to inject His purity into us is a mystery beyond comprehension. Though we may not understand fully just gives His actions more depth and meaning. There is no greater love than His!

Prophecy is best when we have the filter of hindsight. The story of Joseph continues and brings up some interesting questions for the future. In the end maybe the reason for prophecy is not to answer questions about the future, but rather to explain the present.

News and updates from The Land.

“The Wages of Sin” Does God grade on the curve? Can our good deeds be used to outweigh our evil deeds? What about “God knows my heart”? This week we look at a very serious subject that every person must one day deal with. One should not kick the can too long!

The account of Joseph brings forth many shadows and pictures which speak to our day. It all comes down to one subject, the family coming together as one. Has the subject changed or it everything happening today for the same purpose?

A short update this week due to ongoing internet issues and a very long guiding day for Hanoch.

Jacob has a bit of time to rest and enjoy his growing family. The rest will however be short-lived. The life of his family becomes a wonderful picture of his family to come and the plan to break the dysfunction hold once and for all.
