Our Messiyah,

The Spirit of Wisdom

As I read through this Parasha

That the Truth of the Torah may

Come forth. Amen

       This Torah portion of Veyeira is the Hebrew word for ‘He saw’, is the 4^th Torah Portion of the cycle, we find that after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, the daughters of Lot, lay with their fathers and conceived children by him. The explanation given by some of the Hebrew sages, for the apparent violation of the Torah restriction of incest is that Lot’s daughters believed that they and their father was the only survivor left on earth.

The Torah tells us that Lot’s daughters said, “We will make alive, from our father, a continuation, a zerah.” The daughters use the word zerah, or seed, rather than the word child.  The choice of word indicates their motives for laying with their father. It was not primary for bearing a child, but for accomplishing something far greater, it was to plant a seed, that would one day producer the Messiyah.

This seed would revealed the Messiyah, the revelation of the Light of bila hamavet lanetzach, of victory over death, and Techiyat haMetim, the Resurrection of the dead. 

In every stage of our spiritual development, our Heavenly Father revealed more of Himself to us. Let us now investigate the cause by which EL YAHVEH appeared to Abraham.

We have an account in this chapter of another interview between YAHVEH and Abraham, probably within a few days after the former, as the reward of his cheerful obedience to the law of circumcision. Here is, 

I. The kind visit which YAHVEH made to Abraham, and the kind entertainment which he gave to that visit, verse 1-8. 

II. The matters discoursed of between them. 

1. The purposes of YAH’s love concerning Sarah verse 9–15. 

2.           The purposes of YAH’s wrath concerning Sodom. 

(1.) The discovery YAHVEH made to Abraham of HIS design to destroy Sodom verse 16 – 22. 

(2.) The intercession Abraham made for Sodom verse 23, etc.
