As I read through this Parashas

This Torah portion is the fifteen in the cycle, it is called Bo, which means to come referring to the first verse: Then יהוה said to Moses, come to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart.

The Torah says that when the CREATOR made this demand of Moses, the two of them were in Egypt, which means that even in the midst of our darkness HE is there. No matter how deeply mired we are in our own Egypt, our source of restriction, according to the Esh Kodesh, a unique channel opens up each year on the Sabbath of Bo thanks to Messiyah Yahushua who act as a conduits for the CREATOR. By offering insights into the nature of revelation and by providing the service to Messiyah Yahushua our direct who sits at the Right Hand of ABBA YAHWEH, the Torah portion of Bo and the Sabbath gives us access to Light when we most need it.

This portion like all the others, the CREATOR will revealed to us the Light of the Word only according to our level of Spiritual Maturity or what I called our days of Creation. Which means that the CREATOR’S role in our lives is limited only by our ability to accept it?

The CREATOR is revealing HIMSELF to us at all times. Moses knew this, Jerimiyah knew this, which is why they sought out the Thorn Bush on the mountain, and Jeremyah saw the rod of an almond tree. Because Jeremiyah saw well, YAHWEH  hasten HIS Word to perform it.

When we truly believe the CREATOR is being revealed to us right where we are, HE will revealed HIMSELF  to us, much the same way HE hasten to revealed to Moses and Jeremiyah.

Now that we understand our limitation, why don’t we just ignore our limitation? The reason is simple, through our selfish ego, our self-serving actions stand in the way, creating a stumbling block between our me first mentality and a shift in spiritual consciousness. We can see the trees but not the forest, we cannot see through the darkned-glass. Instead of seeing the CREATOR in all things we see ourselves.

As believer who are experiencing the sixth days of Creation, on the first day we learn the all important lesson, to recognize light from darkness, meaning that the recognizing off falsehood is as crucial as seeing the Truth. We must also remember that everything in the spiritual realm is a revelation of the Light of the CREATOR, which remind us that we need to make an all important distinction between physical desire and spiritual desire.

As human we are a network of desires. Our desires for pleasure and acceptance for example are physical. When we feel the desire to be accepted by our piers, we rightly think of this as our own desire. The error most believers make is applying the same to understanding to spiritual desires; we believe that when the desire to pray or fast that this is our own desire. It is not!

The fulfilling of any physical desires involves three steps: one, the desire, two, we act on the desire, three we succeed in satisfying the desire. In Spiritual matters steps one in never ours. It always come from the CREATOR. Just like Moses and Jeremiyah the desire comes from the CREATOR, the burning bush and the Almond tree.

Our desires comes to us in the form of feelings. For those of us who are not yet mature, it is not HIS Word HE put in our mouth, it is HIS Desire that HE place within our Ego.

One of the lessons of this portion is that even though the CREATOR can be found in all things, the decision to seek HIM lies exclusively with us. To accomplish this, we have to make a change in our spiritual consciousness. We achieve this when we acknowledge that every thought, every situation hold a potential revelation from the CREATOR. The first seven commands represent the bottom seven Sefirot in the tree of life and the final three commandments, the top three Sefirot.

In this Parasha, the climax of Moses’ mission is impending. The last three plague, the commandment to sanctify the New Moon which establish the Spiritual calendar, the light governing Passover, and the sanctification of the first born are about to be revealed to Moses.

The first plague in this Parasha, that of Locusts, introduces a new element; EL YAHWEH tells Moses that He intends to make a mockery of Egypt by putting to rest the Haughty presumptuousness of Pharaoh and his cohorts, so that not only Egypt, but even the Children of Yisrael would know that EL YAHWEH, is MELECK in all the World.

The inclusion of the Children of Yisrael in this Parasha is to prove that that even believers are often not perfect in their faith.
