BEHA’ALOSECHA
Numbers 8:1 – 12:16
Please Pray this
Prayer
First
before reading
In the name of Yahushua
Our Messiyah,
I pray for the Spirit of Understanding
The Spirit pf Knowledge and
The Spirit of Wisdom
As I read through this Parasha
That the Truth of Torah may
Come forth. Amen
This Torah Portion “Beha’alotcha”
meaning “When you ascend,” which
begins with the line: “And YAHVEH spoke to Moses, saying, When you light the
Menorah, the seven lamps shall give light in the front of the Menorah.”
When Aaron lit the Menorah in the
Tabernacle, at the request of the CREATOR, Aaron actually brought the Upper
World to the lower world, and that light is what will continue to shine until
Messiyah return. It just happened that after the death of Messiyah Yahushua in
the year 61 ad, the central lamp of the Menorah could not stay lit until the
Temple was destroyed 40 years later.
Every spiritual act that reveals light
has a physical manifestation, but there is a much greater level of satisfaction
available to us in the knowledge that we are revealing light from the upper
world.
When we focus our attention on the upper
world it produces a shift in our consciousness, suddenly it is not how many
people we help or whether or not we have the approval of others does not even
cross our mind, for in the Heavenly Kingdom humility rules supreme.
What is the character of believers who place
their emphasis on the Spiritual Kingdom? Humility! In this Torah Portion
Beha’alotcha, the Torah says: ‘the man Moses was very humble, the most humble
man on the face of the earth at that time.’
The
beauty of the gift of humility is that it is available to all. Anyone can be
humble, through discipline, just look at the Buddha Monks. But paradoxically,
true humility is perhaps the most difficult thing to achieve in this world,
which makes the insights of the Torah Portion of Beha’alotcha so valuable.
True
spiritually humility comes from a human heart that has his or her ego reprogram
by the operating system of the Holy Spirit and the application program of the
Torah. The development of the Menorah in our lives is such an operating system,
as we experience the sixth days of creation, we will have our mind or our ego
reprogrammed.
The discussion of the Menorah comes
right after the discussion pertaining to the Nazarite vow, and twelve leaders
present their offerings at the Temple. Torah is setting the stage by outlining
the steps to building our Menorah spiritually.
These offerings by the leaders serve the
function of giving thanks for being able to dedicate (Nazarite vow) or
rededicate one self for the service of EL YAHVEH.
The cleaning and preparing the Lamps of
the Menorah each day required that they removed literally or virtually
everyday, the previous day burnt wick. Those things that we experience and have
been processed into our lives, we leave them and press on towards the next day
process, a new wick, and a new experience.
