Mat 246-15 You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

Mat 2423-25 Then if anyone says to you Behold here is the Christ or There He is do not believe him (24) For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders so as to mislead if possible even the elect (25) Behold I have told you in advance

Mat 244-17 And Jesus answered and said to them See to it that no one misleads you (5) For many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will mislead many (6) You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not

frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs

(9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

IF YOU DO ) והיהH1961 עקבH6118 תשמעוןH8085 אתH853

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

2 Jacobrsquos birth Genesis 2526 hellipJacob came forth holding on to Esaursquos ldquoheelrdquo ldquoAnd you shall say to Pharaoh lsquoThus said יהוה ldquoYisrarsquoĕl is My son My first-born (Exodus 422)

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

ON THE HEELS עקב OF THE MESSIAH

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה Signs that we could be the the last generation that will witness the end time events prior to the coming of the ldquoWarrior King Messiah Yeshua sonf of Elohymrdquo - Never in the history of judaism amp christianity that have record breaking numbers of believers keeping torah 1967 ndash 20151Cor 1011 And all these things ( experience of the generations of israelites in the wilderness prior to entering the promised land) happened to those as examples and it was written for our warning on whom the ends of the ages have come

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

The period of the Messiah refers to the time when the Messiah could appear before the Kingdom is established in Zion - The time immediately preceding the appearance of the Messiah will be a time of testing in which the world will undergo various forms of tribulation called chevlei Mashiach ( חבלי the birth pangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a - (המשיחKetubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some say the birth pangs are to last for 70 years with the last 7 years being the most intense period of tribulation -- called the Time of Jacobs Trouble ליעקב היא ה The climax of the ^^^ (Jer 307) עת־צרGreat Tribulation ( גדולה ה is called the great Day of the (צרLORD ( דול יום הג ־יהוה ) which represents Gods wrath poured out upon a rebellious world system On this fateful day the LORD will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) and worldwide catastrophes will occur For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקבMessianic Hope The King of the JewsThe Medieval rabbi and scholastic philosopher Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon or Rambam) is considered to be a mainstream voice of traditional Judaism Maimonides Twelfth Principle of the Jewish faith is his affirmation that the Messiah is coming to restore Israel to greatness beyond that known in the days of King Solomon I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah and though he may delay nevertheless I wait for his coming every day The following statement by Maimonides is probably the definitive rendering of the traditional Jewish view on the subject If a king will arise from the House of David who is learned in Torah and observant of the mitzvot as prescribed by the written law and the oral law as David his ancestor was and will compel all of Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and reinforce the breaches and fight the wars of G-d we may with assurance consider him the Messiah If he succeeds in the above builds the Temple in its place and gathers the dispersed of Israel he is definitely the Messiah If he did not succeed to this degree or he was killed he surely is not the redeemer promised by the Torah (Mishneh Torah)

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Isaiah 66 But He will be indignant toward His enemies (15) For behold the LORD will come in fire And His chariots like the whirlwind To render His anger with fury And His rebuke with flames of fire (16) For the LORD will execute judgment by fire And by His sword on all flesh And those slain by the LORD will be many (17) Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens Following one in the center Who eat swines flesh detestable things and mice Will come to an end altogether declares the LORD (18) For I know their works and their thoughts the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues And they shall come and see My glory (19) I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations Tarshish Put Lud Meshech Tubal and Javan to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory And they will declare My glory among the nations (20) Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the LORD on horses in chariots in litters on mules and on camels to My holy mountain Jerusalem says the LORD just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD (21) I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites says the LORD (22) For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me declares the LORD So your offspring and your name will endure (23) And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath All mankind will come to bow down before Me says the LORD (24) Then they will go forth and look On the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me For their worm will not die And their fire will not be quenched And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Mat 246-15 You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

2 Jacobrsquos birth Genesis 2526 hellipJacob came forth holding on to Esaursquos ldquoheelrdquo ldquoAnd you shall say to Pharaoh lsquoThus said יהוה ldquoYisrarsquoĕl is My son My first-born (Exodus 422)

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקבMessianic Hope The King of the JewsThe Medieval rabbi and scholastic philosopher Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon or Rambam) is considered to be a mainstream voice of traditional Judaism Maimonides Twelfth Principle of the Jewish faith is his affirmation that the Messiah is coming to restore Israel to greatness beyond that known in the days of King Solomon I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah and though he may delay nevertheless I wait for his coming every day The following statement by Maimonides is probably the definitive rendering of the traditional Jewish view on the subject If a king will arise from the House of David who is learned in Torah and observant of the mitzvot as prescribed by the written law and the oral law as David his ancestor was and will compel all of Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and reinforce the breaches and fight the wars of G-d we may with assurance consider him the Messiah If he succeeds in the above builds the Temple in its place and gathers the dispersed of Israel he is definitely the Messiah If he did not succeed to this degree or he was killed he surely is not the redeemer promised by the Torah (Mishneh Torah)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Mat 246-15 You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs (9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

Mat 2423-25 Then if anyone says to you Behold here is the Christ or There He is do not believe him (24) For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders so as to mislead if possible even the elect (25) Behold I have told you in advance

Mat 244-17 And Jesus answered and said to them See to it that no one misleads you (5) For many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will mislead many (6) You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not

frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs

(9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs

(9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Mat 244-17 And Jesus answered and said to them See to it that no one misleads you (5) For many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will mislead many (6) You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not

frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs

(9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

2 Jacobrsquos birth Genesis 2526 hellipJacob came forth holding on to Esaursquos ldquoheelrdquo ldquoAnd you shall say to Pharaoh lsquoThus said יהוה ldquoYisrarsquoĕl is My son My first-born (Exodus 422)

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

ON THE HEELS עקב OF THE MESSIAH

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקבMessianic Hope The King of the JewsThe Medieval rabbi and scholastic philosopher Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon or Rambam) is considered to be a mainstream voice of traditional Judaism Maimonides Twelfth Principle of the Jewish faith is his affirmation that the Messiah is coming to restore Israel to greatness beyond that known in the days of King Solomon I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah and though he may delay nevertheless I wait for his coming every day The following statement by Maimonides is probably the definitive rendering of the traditional Jewish view on the subject If a king will arise from the House of David who is learned in Torah and observant of the mitzvot as prescribed by the written law and the oral law as David his ancestor was and will compel all of Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and reinforce the breaches and fight the wars of G-d we may with assurance consider him the Messiah If he succeeds in the above builds the Temple in its place and gathers the dispersed of Israel he is definitely the Messiah If he did not succeed to this degree or he was killed he surely is not the redeemer promised by the Torah (Mishneh Torah)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Mat 244-17 And Jesus answered and said to them See to it that no one misleads you (5) For many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will mislead many (6) You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not

frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs

(9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Mat 244-17 And Jesus answered and said to them See to it that no one misleads you (5) For many will come in My name saying I am the Christ and will mislead many (6) You will be hearing of wars and rumors of wars See that you are not

frightened for those things must take place but that is not yet the end (7) For nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom and in various places there will be famines and earthquakes (8) But all these things are merely the beginning of birth pangs

(9) Then they will deliver you to tribulation and will kill you and you will be hated by all nations because of My name (10) At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another (11) Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many (12) Because lawlessness is increased most peoples love will grow cold (13) But the one who endures to the end he will be saved (14) This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations and then the end will come (15) Therefore when you see the ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet standing in the holy place (let the reader understand)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

2 Jacobrsquos birth Genesis 2526 hellipJacob came forth holding on to Esaursquos ldquoheelrdquo ldquoAnd you shall say to Pharaoh lsquoThus said יהוה ldquoYisrarsquoĕl is My son My first-born (Exodus 422)

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

OPENING BLESSINGldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers and shall love you and bless you and increase you and shall bless the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your land your grain and your new wine and your oil the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flock in the land of which He swore to your fathers to give you ldquoBlessed are you above all peoples ndash there is not going to be a barren man or a barren woman among you or among your livestock ldquoAnd יהוה shall turn away from you all sickness and put on you none of the evil diseases of Mitsrayim which you have known but He shall put them on all those who hate you (Deuteronomy Devarim 712-15)

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

INTRODUCTION

As יהוהrsquos special nation they are preparing to enter the land that has been promised to them Most of these second generation Israelites have never known anything other than life in the desert so it is critical that they be taught the importance of and the extreme necessity of keeping the commandments of יהוה that pertain to living in the land The Almighty YEHOVAH is fully capable of defeating the enemies in the land and caring for their needs but only IF they do things HIS way Moses is very aware that the tendency will be for them to forget what he has told them to remember and will do his best to present the consequences ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulings and shall guard

and do them that יהוה your Elohim shall guard with you the covenant and the kindness which He swore to your fathers (Deuteronomy 712)

Alef Tav את

(Deuteronomy 712 )והיהH1961 עקבH6118 תשמעוןH8085 אתH853

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

CODED MESSAGE

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

2 Jacobrsquos birth Genesis 2526 hellipJacob came forth holding on to Esaursquos ldquoheelrdquo ldquoAnd you shall say to Pharaoh lsquoThus said יהוה ldquoYisrarsquoĕl is My son My first-born (Exodus 422)

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

The first thing we note is the stand-alone alephtav (את) in this verse The stand-alone alephtav (את)appears in peculiar places throughout the Hebrew Scriptures and points to the Messiah who Himself declared that He was the alpha and the omega (in Hebrew this is the aleph and the tav) the first and the last the beginning and the endConsidering this implication this first part of Deuteronomy 712 would read ndash Then it shall be because you listen to ) את ) hellip יהושע

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Judaism teaches that we have to give it our all when we study s Word We have to look deep as well as on the surface Herersquoיהוהwe have a situation that wersquove seen before in which the English translations do not convey the entire message that was written In fact therersquos a ldquocoded messagerdquo in these Scriptures just for us today This parsha titled ldquoEkevrdquo according to Strongrsquos Concordance Dictionary means ldquoconsequentlyrdquo or ldquobecauserdquo derived from verse 1 ldquoAnd it shall be because you hear these right-rulingsrdquo is named ldquoon the heelrdquo by the rabbis Why Neither the English word ldquoheelrdquo or the phrase ldquoon the heelrdquo or any like it appear in the English translations of this Torah portion not even in those published by Jews such as the Stone Edition TaNaK and Chumash from Artscroll or the JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Scriptures Could it be that the rabbis saw more here Is Elohim perhaps telling us something more profound

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Verse 1 opens in the Hebrew with ldquoVrsquohaya ekev tirsquoshmarsquounrdquo which we read above in English as ldquoAnd it shall be because you hearhelliprdquo Looking at the Hebrew we get ldquoVrsquohayardquo means ldquoAnd it shall berdquo but also ldquoAnd you shall dordquo ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo we have a form of the word ldquoshemardquo or ldquoto hear and dordquo But ldquotirsquoshmarsquounrdquo is the future tense of the verb ldquoshrsquomardquo What itrsquos saying here is suggesting that there will be those who hear and obey in the future ( Prophecy) not just when these words were spoken and written ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo is Strongrsquos 6118 and is translated generally from Hebrew as ldquobecauserdquo We see that its meaning includes ldquoas a result ofrdquo or ldquoconsequentlyrdquo In other words ldquoif you do thus and so then (ldquoekevrdquo or as a result) this and that will happenrdquo This is why it is sometimes translated as ldquorewardrdquo or ldquowagesrdquo

EKEB עקב

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

As the mountains surround Yerushalayim So יהוה surrounds His people Now and forever (Psalms 1252)

also states He is going to prepare a dwelling place for us יהושעldquoIn My Fatherrsquos house are many staying places And if not I would

have told you I go to prepare a place for you (John 142)

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

rdquowalking out Torahrdquo or ldquohalachahrdquo which means what is legally binding according to Torah Walking it out is how we ldquoshrsquomardquo

3 It is ldquohinted atrdquo in Genesis 315 ldquoAnd I put enmity between you and the woman and between your seed and her Seed He shall crush your head and you shall crush His heelrdquo

When we walk according to Torah we crush the head of the adversary

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

ldquoEkebrdquo is spelled (ayin-kuf-beit)ldquoayinrdquo means ldquoeyerdquo ldquoto seerdquo or ldquoseeingrdquo ldquokufrdquo means ldquoto surroundrdquo and ldquobeitrdquo means ldquohouserdquo or ldquodwelling placerdquo So in the letters we have ldquoseeing surrounds the houserdquo ldquoSeeingrdquo isnrsquot just related to eyesight יהוהrsquos ldquoseeingrdquo or His ldquoforeknowledgerdquo is what surrounds us all but especially those whom He calls or chooses As the people Elohim chose to set His ldquoDwelling Placerdquo within or to ldquomake His stay withrdquo the Father promises to keep His eyes upon us and to surround us

AQAB עקב

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

AQEB עקב Another meaning for ldquoaqabrdquo is ldquoto come from behindrdquo Even though Esau was born first Jacob came from behind to supplant him From the prophets wersquore going to have an exciting ldquocome from behind to finishrdquo also These letters are also pronounced ldquoaqebrdquo Strong 6119 which means ldquo heelrdquo Heel has three biblical indicators1 ldquoheelrdquo refers to ldquoheel printrdquo or ldquofootprintrdquo and speaks of our ldquowalkrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

The letters in ldquoekevrdquo or ldquoekebrdquo (ayin-kuf-bet [or vet]) when you change the vowel markings are pronounced ldquoaqabrdquo Remember there are no vowel markings in the Hebrew Torah The pronunciation and meanings of the words are derived from the context So these words could have several definitions as long as those meanings fit into the context of the Scriptures where they appear And as long as there is harmony with the context we can have multiple meanings even in the ldquoparshatrdquo or simple straight-forward understanding of the Scriptures ldquoAqabrdquo is Strongrsquos 6117 which means ldquoto supplantrdquo or ldquoto circumventrdquo So in context what are we circumventing by ldquohearing and doingrdquo Torah According to the context of our parsha this week we are circumventing the curses that come from not obeying Torah and supplanting them with the blessings of obedience to His Word ldquoaqabrdquo is the root word in ldquoYarsquoaqobrdquo (Ya [Yud] ndash Aqab) or ldquoYahrsquos Supplanterrdquo or ldquoYahrsquos Circumventorrdquo Jacob would replace Esau and be renamed by Elohim as Israel ldquoovercomes with Elrdquo

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

With which Your enemies have reproached O יהוה With which they have reproached the footsteps עקב of Your anointed

(Psalms 8951)Jewish commentator James Stone Goodman points to the usage of ekev in Psalms 8951 where it speaks of ldquoon the heels (ekev) of the Messiahrdquo as referring to the last generation before the Messiah That ldquoheelrdquo generation contains the weight of every generation prior to ithellipevery word said every mitsvah (commandment) performed contributes in someway to the coming of the Messiah That generation is therefore pointed to in Devarim 712 as the generation who will ldquoshemardquo to the instructions of והיה

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

The period of the Messiah refers to the time when the Messiah could appear before the Kingdom is established in Zion - The time immediately preceding the appearance of the Messiah will be a time of testing in which the world will undergo various forms of tribulation called chevlei Mashiach ( חבלי the birth pangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a - (המשיחKetubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some say the birth pangs are to last for 70 years with the last 7 years being the most intense period of tribulation -- called the Time of Jacobs Trouble ליעקב היא ה The climax of the ^^^ (Jer 307) עת־צרGreat Tribulation ( גדולה ה is called the great Day of the (צרLORD ( דול יום הג ־יהוה ) which represents Gods wrath poured out upon a rebellious world system On this fateful day the LORD will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) and worldwide catastrophes will occur For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

Note The following article is based on a comment Rashi made regarding the Days of the Messiah in parashat EikevOur actions invariably reveal what we are believing about the nature of reality We will live what we believe Put the other way around what we believe will determine what we do Nearly all of our conscious intentions are future-directed We assume that the future will resemble the past and therefore we make our plans and set our agendas And yet to what end What is the purpose of our lives Where are your actions taking you

Questions like these concern your personal philosophy of life Every person makes choices based on their vision and expectation of a future good Every person therefore lives by a creed that speaks toward the future Sadly many people live for the immediate moments of life cheap thrills fast food and mindless entertainment Lets eat and drink for tomorrow we die (1 Cor 1523) Others may enjoy fine art reading and learning - hoping thereby to improve themselves Most people live in order to love others friends and family But apart from God none of these otherwise good things will ultimately satisfy our hearts Disordered love comes from setting the hearts affections on the transitory the ephemeral and the unabiding but God has set eternity within our hearts (Eccl 311) The Lord has wired us to experience discontent when our hearts deepest need goes unmet

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

On a larger scale philosophers have asked whether life itself - all of it - has any meaning or purpose Why is there something rather than nothing - and for what reason Is the universe essentially a random set of events or is there some overarching purpose and design to everything Is history linear or cyclical Does it have a goal or destination or is this entirely unknowable to us Are human beings evolving - and if so to what Is there a spiritual dimension to reality or is everything causally determined by matter and motion Do we have free will or are we entirely conditioned to do what we do Various answers have proposed to deal with these questions over time including mythological polytheism (eg Zoroastrianism EgyptianGreek mythology animism paganism) cyclical impersonalism (eg Hinduism Jainism Taoism reincarnationism Stoicism) various types of materialism (eg scientific naturalism pragmatism evolutionism nihilism) humanism (Buddhism secular humanism atheistic existentialism) romantic idealism (Marxism Hegelianism) mysticism (theosophy new age thinking popular Kabbalah) and so on

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

The traditional Jewish view of history may be called (for lack of a better term) monotheistic personalism There is one Supreme God who is the personal Creator and Ruler of all that exists God is both immanent (sustaining creation) and transcendent (above creation) This God has a Name (YHVH) a mind and a moral purposive will that imbues all of creation God is LORD over all time and space the King of Glory who is Master of all possible worlds Since God knows and providentially controls everything human history is a controlled process that leads to a destination History is therefore progressive and eschatological - leading to a future goal

But where is everything going In particular what is the destiny of the human race If there is a characteristically Jewish philosophy of history it decidedly centers on the vision of Zion as the restoration and fulfillment of the lost paradise of Eden The relationship between Adam and God will be fully restored in the coming theocratic utopia called heavenly Jerusalem This is heaven the place of our deepest longing

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

The period of the Messiah refers to the time when the Messiah could appear before the Kingdom is established in Zion - The time immediately preceding the appearance of the Messiah will be a time of testing in which the world will undergo various forms of tribulation called chevlei Mashiach ( חבלי the birth pangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a - (המשיחKetubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some say the birth pangs are to last for 70 years with the last 7 years being the most intense period of tribulation -- called the Time of Jacobs Trouble ליעקב היא ה The climax of the ^^^ (Jer 307) עת־צרGreat Tribulation ( גדולה ה is called the great Day of the (צרLORD ( דול יום הג ־יהוה ) which represents Gods wrath poured out upon a rebellious world system On this fateful day the LORD will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) and worldwide catastrophes will occur For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקב

As Ive mentioned before the word Zion is mentioned over 160 times in the Scriptures Thats more than the words faith hope love and countless others And since Zion is a poetic form of the word Jerusalem the number of occurrences swells to nearly 1000 It is therefore not an overstatement to say that God Himself is a Zionist Out of Zion the perfection of beauty God shines forth (Psalm 502) Zion represents the rule and reign of God in the earth and is therefore synonymous with the Kingdom of God (Malkhut Elohym) The entire redemptive plan of God -- including the coming of the Messiah Himself and our very salvation -- is wrapped up in the concept of Zion It is the historiography of God -- His philosophy of history if you will

In a sense Zion is the heart of the Gospel message and the focal point of Gods salvation in this world Zion represents our eschatological future -- our home in olam haba (the world to come) Even the new heavens and earth will be called Jerusalem -- Zion in her perfection (Rev 21) This is what Adonai Tzevaot says I am very jealous for Jerusalem and Zion but I am very angry with the nations that feel secure (Zech 114-15) For Zions sake I will not keep silent for Jerusalems sake I will not remain quiet till her righteousness shines out like the dawn her salvation like a blazing torch (Isa 621) The builder of Jerusalem is God the outcasts of Israel he will gather in Praise God O Jerusalem laud your God O Zion (Psalm 1472-12)

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

First the sages argued that a divine day (יום) equaled 1000 years based on Psalm 904 A thousand years ( שנים in your sight is as a day (ie kyom (אלף (כיוםThey reasoned that since man was made in the image of God and the Torah describes six days of creation followed by a day of divine rest mankind (as a whole) was therefore allotted 6 x 1000 years (ie 6000) for works to be established in the world followed by a 1000 year Shabbat (Sanhedrin 97a Rosh Hashana 31a) The ancient Seder Olam Rabbah (c 240) catalogs historical events from the start of Creation according to the 6000 years of history Humanity will have his time of reign on earth for 6000 years and then the Messiah will begin his reign in the 7th millennium a Sabbath of sacred history Later midrash goes along with this basic outline Six eons for going in and coming out for war and peace The seventh eon is entirely Shabbat and rest for life everlasting (Pirke de Rabbi Eliezer) The Apostle Peter may also have had this outline in mind when he wrote With the Lord one day is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day (2 Pet 38 Psalm 904) Happy are those who will be left alive at the end of the sixth millennium to enter the Shabbat which is the seventh millennium

The period of the Messiah refers to the time when the Messiah could appear before the Kingdom is established in Zion - The time immediately preceding the appearance of the Messiah will be a time of testing in which the world will undergo various forms of tribulation called chevlei Mashiach ( חבלי the birth pangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a - (המשיחKetubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some say the birth pangs are to last for 70 years with the last 7 years being the most intense period of tribulation -- called the Time of Jacobs Trouble ליעקב היא ה The climax of the ^^^ (Jer 307) עת־צרGreat Tribulation ( גדולה ה is called the great Day of the (צרLORD ( דול יום הג ־יהוה ) which represents Gods wrath poured out upon a rebellious world system On this fateful day the LORD will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) and worldwide catastrophes will occur For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617)

The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) ^^^ Only after the nations of the world have been judged will the Messianic kingdom (מלכות האלהים) be established upon the earth The remnant of Israel will be saved and the 1000 year reign of King Messiah will then commence (Rev 204)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקבMessianic Hope The King of the JewsThe Medieval rabbi and scholastic philosopher Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon or Rambam) is considered to be a mainstream voice of traditional Judaism Maimonides Twelfth Principle of the Jewish faith is his affirmation that the Messiah is coming to restore Israel to greatness beyond that known in the days of King Solomon I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah and though he may delay nevertheless I wait for his coming every day The following statement by Maimonides is probably the definitive rendering of the traditional Jewish view on the subject If a king will arise from the House of David who is learned in Torah and observant of the mitzvot as prescribed by the written law and the oral law as David his ancestor was and will compel all of Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and reinforce the breaches and fight the wars of G-d we may with assurance consider him the Messiah If he succeeds in the above builds the Temple in its place and gathers the dispersed of Israel he is definitely the Messiah If he did not succeed to this degree or he was killed he surely is not the redeemer promised by the Torah (Mishneh Torah)

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקב

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקב

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

ליעקב (Jer 307) היא Just before the arrival of Yeshua as Mashiach ben David a period of tribulation and distress for Israel will occur After this great tribulation period however Yeshua will usher in Yom YHVH the Day of the LORD and the sabbatical millennium the 1000 year reign of King Messiah will commence (Rev 204) ^^^ Expecting a terrible times for the wicked and exciting times for the saints of YEHOVAH

Day of the LORD is often associated with Tishah BAv and the catastrophic destruction of the Jewish Temple the words of the prophets were only partially fulfilled and there awaits another Day coming when God will terribly shake the entire earth (Isa 219) For the great day of their wrath has come and who can stand (Rev 617) ( Paul wilburn songs about end times)The prophet Malachi likewise says Surely the day is coming it will burn like a furnace All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble and that day that is coming will set them on fire says the LORD Almighty Not a root or a branch will be left to them (Mal 41) For those who are godless the great Day of the LORD is a time of horrific judgment but for those who belong to the LORD it represents a day of victory and great blessing Regarding that day the prophet Malachi said Then you will trample down the wicked they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I do these things (Mal 43)

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

Isa 666-24 A voice of uproar from the city a voice from the temple The voice of the LORD who is rendering recompense to His enemies (7) Before she travailed she brought forth Before her pain came she gave birth to a boy (8) Who has heard such a thing Who has seen such things Can a land be born in one day Can a nation be brought forth all at once As soon as Zion travailed she also brought forth her sons (9) Shall I bring to the point of birth and not give delivery says the LORD Or shall I who gives delivery shut the womb says your God (10) Be joyful with Jerusalem and rejoice for her all you who love her Be exceedingly glad with her all you who mourn over her (11) That you may nurse and be satisfied with her comforting breasts That you may suck and be delighted with her bountiful bosom (12) For thus says the LORD Behold I extend peace to her like a river And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream And you will be nursed you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees (13) As one whom his mother comforts so I will comfort you And you will be comforted in Jerusalem (14) Then you will see this and your heart will be glad And your bones will flourish like the new grass And the hand of the LORD will be made known to His servants

Isaiah 66 But He will be indignant toward His enemies (15) For behold the LORD will come in fire And His chariots like the whirlwind To render His anger with fury And His rebuke with flames of fire (16) For the LORD will execute judgment by fire And by His sword on all flesh And those slain by the LORD will be many (17) Those who sanctify and purify themselves to go to the gardens Following one in the center Who eat swines flesh detestable things and mice Will come to an end altogether declares the LORD (18) For I know their works and their thoughts the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues And they shall come and see My glory (19) I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations Tarshish Put Lud Meshech Tubal and Javan to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory And they will declare My glory among the nations (20) Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the LORD on horses in chariots in litters on mules and on camels to My holy mountain Jerusalem says the LORD just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD (21) I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites says the LORD (22) For just as the new heavens and the new earth Which I make will endure before Me declares the LORD So your offspring and your name will endure (23) And it shall be from new moon to new moon And from sabbath to sabbath All mankind will come to bow down before Me says the LORD (24) Then they will go forth and look On the corpses of the men Who have transgressed against Me For their worm will not die And their fire will not be quenched And they will be an abhorrence to all mankind

Ultimately the Great Tribulation period is redemptive and healing (called yissurim shel ahavah the troubles of love) The prophets wrote that Zion will go through labor and then give birth to children (Isa 668) Thus the Vilna Gaon wrote that the geulah (national redemption) is something like rebirth of the nation of Israel This accords with the prophetic fulfillment of Yom Kippur as the Day of Judgment and time of Israels national conversion In the verse from prophet Jeremiah regarding the Time of Jacobs Trouble its vital to see the goal in mind - yet out of it he is saved ( שע יו ה When Yeshua returns to (וממנZion all Israel will be saved (Rom 1126) The sages note that childbirth is a time of radical transition and struggle for the baby -- from the time of relatively peaceful existence within the womb into the harsh light of day -- and therefore a similar transition between this world and the Messianic world to come is about to take place

The outworking of humanitys history is essentially a conflict between good and evil It traces back to paradise lost and the eventual construction of Bavel in ancient Shinar where Nimrod attempted to collectivize humanity under autocratic rule Yeshua referred to it (among other things) as a conflict between the Kingdom of God ( מלכות and the kingdom of Satan (John 834-6) The (אלהיםApostles likewise spoke of children of darkness and children of light (Eph 58 Col 113 1 Thess 55 etc) Politically speaking St Augustine described the cosmic conflict as one between the City of Man and the City of God World politics nearly always involves some form of violence against those who belong to God (Matt 1112)

As for the exact timing of these events no one knows the day or hour In fact various Jewish sages have argued for missing years in the prophetic calendar (due to periods of exile or other factors) ( Joseph Dumond research on calendar is critical)Since Jewish tradition states that the days of Messiah began after 4000 years of history (ie four days) we can better understand the Messianic fervor among the Jews during the first century in Judea The Essenes were awaiting the advent of the Teacher of Righteousness and the Zealots wanted to establish the Kingdom of God by force of arms Even the common people of Israel were full of expectation that the Messiah would soon appear to redeem captive Israel It was in this context in the fulness of time (Gal 44) that Yeshua began His earthly ministry as the Suffering Servant who redeemed us from the curse of the law (Gal 313)Act 16-7 So when they had come together they were asking Him saying Lord is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel (7) He said to them It is not for you to know times or epochs (kairos- seasons) which the Father has fixed by His own authority

King Messiah is the instrument by whom Gods kingdom is to be established in Israel and in the world The Messiah Mashiyach functions as Israels Savior who would be empowered by God to - Restore the Kingdom of David (Jer 235 Jer 309 Ezek 3423) - Restore the Temple in Zion (Isa 22 Micah 41 Zech 613 Ezek 3726-28) - Regather the exiles (Isa 1112 435-6 5111)- Offer the New Covenant to Israel (Jer 3131-34)- Usher in world peace and the knowledge of the true God (Isa 24 119) This will include the entire world speaking Hebrew (Zeph 39)- Swallow up death and disease (Isa 258)- Raise the dead to new life (Isa 2619)- Spread Torah knowledge of the God of Israel which will unite humanity as one As it says God will be King over all the world -- on that day God will be One and His Name will be One (Zech 149)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקב

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

According to this general framework of history we are currently living in the days of the Messiah just before the time of great worldwide tribulation that will lead to the prophesied acharit hayamim ( מים הי or the End of (אחריתDays This is the age in which the spirit of the Messiah is available to all These are days of Gods favor that are ending soon According to traditional Jewish sources (Pesachim 54b Midrash Tehilim 92) no one knows the exact time when the Messiah will appear -- though there are some hints The condition of the world during the end of days will be grossly evil (2 Pet 33 2 Thess 23-4 2 Tim 31-5) The world will undergo various forms of tribulation collectively called chevlei Mashiach ( המשיח the birth - (חבליpangs of the Messiah (Sanhedrin 98a Ketubot Bereshit Rabbah 424 Matt 248) Some sages say the birth pangs will last 70 years with the last 7 years as the most intense period -- the Time of Jacobs Trouble עת־צרה

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back

ESCHATOLOGY JEWISH VIEW ON END TIMES עקבMessianic Hope The King of the JewsThe Medieval rabbi and scholastic philosopher Maimonides (Rabbi Moshe ben Maimon or Rambam) is considered to be a mainstream voice of traditional Judaism Maimonides Twelfth Principle of the Jewish faith is his affirmation that the Messiah is coming to restore Israel to greatness beyond that known in the days of King Solomon I believe with complete faith in the coming of the Messiah and though he may delay nevertheless I wait for his coming every day The following statement by Maimonides is probably the definitive rendering of the traditional Jewish view on the subject If a king will arise from the House of David who is learned in Torah and observant of the mitzvot as prescribed by the written law and the oral law as David his ancestor was and will compel all of Israel to walk in the way of the Torah and reinforce the breaches and fight the wars of G-d we may with assurance consider him the Messiah If he succeeds in the above builds the Temple in its place and gathers the dispersed of Israel he is definitely the Messiah If he did not succeed to this degree or he was killed he surely is not the redeemer promised by the Torah (Mishneh Torah)

Dual Aspect of Mashiach How could the Jewish sages have missed the advent of Messiah especially in light of the fact that their own eschatology expected the Messiah to appear some 2000 years after the Torah was given to Israel (ie the first century AD) Even the Babylonian stargazers were able to discern the appointed time (Matt 21-2)

Perhaps the sages got confused about how to interpret the Hebrew prophets This shouldnt surprise us for a variety of reasons not the least of which is that the prophets were regularly misunderstood and persecuted by the sages in Jewish history Still the sages might have missed the coming of Yeshua because there seems to be two distinct pictures of the Messiah given in the visions of the prophets On the one hand Messiah is portrayed as a great king deliverer and savior of the Jewish people who comes in triumph in the clouds (Dan 713) but on the other he is depicted as riding a donkey lowly and humble (Zech 99) a suffering servant born in lowliness despised and rejected of men These two images of Messiah eventually lead to various oral traditions that there would be two Messiahs Messiah ben Joseph ( בן־יוסף ) and Messiah ben David (משיח בן־דוד (משיח

Mashiach ben Yosef is identified with the Suffering Servant of whom the patriarch Joseph prefigured (and of whom Isaiah plainly spoke in his four Servant Songs) In some traditions of Judaism Mashiach ben Yosef is recognized as a forerunner and harbinger of the final deliverer Mashiach ben David Ben Yosef suffers for the sins of Israel and ends up getting killed in the battle against evil (Isaiah 53) Of course Christians see Yeshua as the prophesied Man of Sorrows and Suffering Servant who would bear the sins of many

Mashiach ben David on the other hand is identified as the great military ruler and King of Israel of whom King David prefigures This greater son of David will regather the exiles set up the Temple and deliver Israel from all her enemies This is the Messiah that the sages of Judaism have long been expecting ^^^ Christians believe Yeshua the Messiah in His second coming will completely fulfill this description of Mashiach ben David

In other words since the prophecies concerning the Messiah are twofold or dual aspect we discern that they would be fulfilled in two distinct ways Yeshua is both Mashiach Ben Yosef (the Suffering Servant - at His first coming) and Mashiach Ben David (the Reigning King - at His second coming) He is also the Anointed Prophet Priest and King as foreshadowed by other meshichim in the Tanakh ^^^ Both traditional Jews and Christians are awaiting for the appearance of the Messiah though Christians of course will welcome Yeshua back
