Ki Tetze

Torah portion Ki Tetze is the 49 Portion, in this portion ABBA YAHVEH want to reveals to us how we can aspire to the level of umateh elokim beyadi, where we have the spirit of power to ward off judgment and suffering.

Most of us are not at this level as yet, but as we experience each Portion in its fullness, we will achieve spiritual maturity. Every believer who believe in Messiyah Yahushua, are in one of the sixth day days of Creation, or we are receiving one of the six color of the rainbow, which is a code word for revelation.

Whatever day of Creation or light of revelation we are receiving, this Torah Portion gives us the ability to cast aside judgment using the Spirit of Authority, according to the revelation we experiencing.

What is the principle behind developing this spirit of Authority, we can reread it in Torah Portion Berasheet. If we go back to the third day of Creation, when the Spirit of Counsel and Authority begins to develop. As children of the light, we are either in the Light or darkness. Yet, there is a mixture of light and darkness called dusk. There are also various level off light starting at 6 am and climax at 12.00 noon.

The name יהוה Yud, Hei, Vav, and Hei is a channel for mercy “Racham”: in Kabbalah, this is understood as Right Column energy. The Name Elohim “gods” indicates judgment, which is left Column energy. Putting it more directly, the desire to Share, the Light of ABBA YAHVEH is Right Column energy. The Desire to receive for the Self Alone is Left Column energy.

As believers, we must remind ourselves that the purpose of Creation was given to us the free will to engage in a spiritual battle between our egos: the desire to share verse the desire to receive.

Whenever we act according to Torah, or should I say righteously, we diminish our natural desire to receive, but increase the desire to share. When it is said that there is a right way to do things, on a spiritual level we are pointing out the potential to elevate the Right Column over the Left Column.

In every situation we always have two choices: we either allow the left to rule over the right or we can say no and allow the right to rule over the left. I am going to deny the natural intent of the ego to receive for its selfish purpose. Every day we are given numerous opportunities to decide whether we are going right or left.

In this chapter as in our daily lives provision is made,

·   For the putting away of the guilt of blood from the land, when he that shed it had fled from justice verse 1-9.

·   For the preserving of the honor of a captive maid verse 10–14.

·     For the securing of the right of a first-born son, though he were not a favorite verse 15–17.

·    For the restraining and punishing of a rebellious son verse 18–21. 

·   For the maintaining of the honor of human bodies, which must not be hanged in chains, but decently buried, even the bodies of the worst malefactor’s verse 22, 23.

In this passage the Torah respond to the often inflamed passion of a soldier in battle. If he sees a woman among the enemy and feels a desire for her, the Torah is providing a avenue the parameter in which it should be done.

Rather than risk sin that would lead to further spiritual contamination, the Torah provide an avenue to acquire a wife from among the gentile nation.
