This is the 50th
Torah Portion of this Torah cycle. In this portion Ki Tavo, Moses tells the Israelite, in effect, we have a field, we have a family, we have a blessing,
so do not just wake up in the morning and thank ABBA YAHVEH; that is not
enough.
Do something to
express your appreciation in a tangible way. Express the fruit of the spirit,
or take action on gratitude will help you in the transformation of the ego that
will led to more blessing.
The Sabbath of Ki
Tavo teaches us to find ways to make the most of our spiritual day availale to
us. That the Torah contains great light. How then can we get more Light from
it? When we encourage people to read the Torah. Even a simple spiritual tool
like appreciation can reveal new Light if we do not settle for expressing it in
words, but take action to show our gratitude for the Word.
On this Sabbath of
Ki Tavo, we want to tap into the consciousness of newness. As Moses was about
to leave this world, he sums up all the wisdom he has been trying to teach for
forty years, by saying to the people, live every moment as if it is the most
important moment to be alive. This is the best of times for those who believe
in Messiyah Yahushua and who keep the Commandmenrs of Torah.
On this Sabbath,
ABBA YAHVEH is asking us to use all the tools the Holy Spirit has given to us,
by living fully in every moment, so we can experience a taste of immoratity.
In this chapter
Moses concludes the particular teaching on the statutes which he thought fit to
be given to Yisrael, those who were incharge at his parting from them; what
follows is by way of sanction and ratification. In this chapter;
I.
Moses
gives them a form of confession to be made by him that offered the basket of
his first-fruits verse 1–11.
II.
The
protestation and prayer to be made after the disposal of the third year’s tithe
verse 12–15.
III.
He
binds on all the precepts he had given them,
1. By the divine
authority: "Not I, but YAHVEH thy EL has commanded thee to do these
statutes’’ verse 16.
2. By the mutual
covenant between YAHVEH and them verse 17, etc.
Deu 26:1 “And it shall
be, when you come into the land which יהוה your Elohim is giving you as an
inheritance, and you possess it and dwell in it, - Coming into the Land is an acronym
for coming to maturity, we have posses, taken charge or into control of the
desires of the flesh, that we have been given and bring it under subjection. In
essence we have become a overcomer. The flesh is made of the dust of the earth,
otherwise known as the Land. When we overcome every disere of the flesh, those
flesh attributes that is our dispossision, then the Holy Spirit will possess
our body.
Deu 26:2 that you shall take some of the first of all the fruits of the soil
which you bring from your land that יהוה your Elohim is giving you, and
shall put it in a basket and go to the place where יהוה your Elohim chooses to make His
Name dwell there. – A good work that was ordered to be done, is that we
are to present a basket of their first-fruits to ABBA YAHVEH every year.
Besides the sheaf of first-fruits, which was
offered for the whole land, on the morrow after the passover (Lev. 23:10),
every man was to bring for himself a basket of first-fruits at the feast of
pentecost, when the harvest was ended, which is therefore called the feast of first-fruits (Ex. 34:22),
and is said to be kept with a tribute
of free-will-offering, Deu. 16:10.
But the Jews say,
"The first-fruits, if not brought then, might be brought any time after,
between that and winter.’’ When a man went into the field or vineyard at the
time when the fruits were ripening, he was to mark that which he observed most
forward, and to set it aside for first-fruits, wheat, barley, grapes, figs,
pomegranates, olives, and dates, some of each sort must be put in the same
basket, with leaves between them, and presented to YAHVEH in the place which he
should choose.
Now from this law we
may learn. To acknowledge YAHVEH as the giver of all those good things which
are the support and comfort of our natural life, and therefore to serve and
honor him with them.
To deny ourselves.
What is first ripe we are most fond of; those that are nice and curious expect
to be served with each fruit at its first coming in. My soul desired the first ripe fruits, Micah 7:1.
When YAHVEH
appointed them to lay those aside for HIM he taught them to prefer the
glorifying of HIS name before the gratifying of their own appetites and
desires.
To give to YAHVEH
the first and best we have, as those that believe HIM to be the first and best
of beings. Those that consecrate the days of their youth, and the prime of
their time, to the service and honor of YAHVEH , bring HIM their first-fruits,
and with such offerings HE is well pleased. I remember the kindness of thy youth.
From the spiritual sense of the Word. As each person goes through their
Torah Cycle and the fruit of the spirit is observed, The leader of the group,
must present to Father יהוה
those who have made significant spiritual gain over the last year. At
the Fall Feast the total spiritual growth is determine and present to our
Father on the Day of Atonement, the next year growth will depends on the growth
the year before.
That is why we are admonish in Matthew 13: 10And
the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables
“Kabbalah?” 11He answered and said to them, “Because
it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of Heavens,
but to them it has not been given. 12“For
whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever
does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.; 25: 28‘Therefore take
the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29‘For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will
have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken
away. 30‘And cast the unprofitable
servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’;
Mark 4: 23“If anyone has
ears to hear, let him hear.” 24Then He said to them, “Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it
will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given. 25“For whoever has, to him more will be given; but whoever does
not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.”;
Luke 8: 16“No one, when he
has lit his Menorah, covers it with a vessel or puts it under a bed, but sets
it on a lampstand, that those who enter may see the light. 17“For nothing is secret that will not be revealed, nor
anything hidden that will not be known and come to light. 18“Therefore take heed how you hear. For whoever has, to him
more will be given; and whoever does not have, even what he seems to have will
be taken from him.”
Deu 26:3 “And you shall come to the one who is priest in those days, and say to
him, ‘I shall declare today to יהוה your Elohim that I have come to
the land which יהוה swore to our fathers to give us.’ – Today we bring ourselves to Yahushua
and say to Him, I have complete my sixth day of Creation, I have reach
maturity, I have come into the Land “my body” and I have posses it.
We must remember that our body is made from the dust of
the earth, to posses our body is to excert spiritual dominion over it, bringing
it under the subjection of the Torah and the Holy Spirit. This is what
scripture calls picking up our Cross and following Yahushua.
This offering is a one time offering, this offering must
be done only when we come into the Land, it cannot be repeated.
Deu 26:4 “And the priest shall take the basket from your hand and place it
before the altar of יהוה your Elohim. – Yahushua will take the basket and present it to Father יהוה, as first
fruits, first born from among men, were Yahushua is the chief of the first born
sons.
Deu 26:5 “And you shall answer and say
before יהוה
your Elohim, ‘My father was a perishing Aramean, and he went down to Mitsrayim
and sojourned there with few men. And there he became a nation, great, mighty,
and numerous. – The individual should say to EL YAHVEH my father and I was sent to
earth to learn the constitution of the Heavenly Kingdom.
We came here as a small Menorah and we have grown into a large Menorah.
