Today’s Parsha

• 2 when a man makes a vow to ADONAI or formally obligates himself by swearing an oath, he is not to break his word but is to do everything he said he would do. 3 "When a woman makes a vow to ADONAI, formally obligating herself, while she is a minor living in her father's house;

Numbers 30:2 to end of chapter

• 4 then, if her father has heard what she vowed or obligated herself to do and holds his peace, then all her vows remain binding - every obligation she has bound herself to will stand. 5 But if on the day her father hears it, he expresses his disapproval, then none of her vows or obligations she has bound herself to will stand; and ADONAI will forgive her, because her father expressed his disapproval.


• 6 "If, having made vows or rashly committed herself to an obligation, she gets married; 7 and her husband hears but holds his peace with her on the day he learns of it, then her vows and obligations she has bound herself to will stand.


• 8 But if her husband expresses his disapproval on the day he hears it, he will void the vow which is on her and the obligation to which she has bound herself; and ADONAI will forgive her.


• 9 "The vow of a widow, however, or of a divorcee, including everything to which she has obligated herself, will stand against her. 10 "If a woman vowed in her husband's house or obligated herself with an oath


• 11 and her husband heard it but held his peace with her and did not express disapproval, then all her vows and obligations will stand.


• 12 But if her husband makes them null and void on the day he hears them, then whatever she said, vows or binding obligation, will not stand; her husband has voided them; and ADONAI will forgive her. 13 Her husband may let every vow and every binding obligation stand, or he may void it.


• 14 But if her husband entirely holds his peace with her day after day, then he confirms all her vows and obligations; he must let them stand, because he held his peace with her on the day he heard them. 15 If he makes them null and void after he has heard them, then he will bear the consequent guilt."


•

16 These are the laws which ADONAI ordered Moshe between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter, if she is a minor living in her father's house. END (Baruch HaShem)


• 4 Hear the word of ADONAI, house of Ya'akov and all families in the house of Isra'el; 5 here is what ADONAI says: "What did your ancestors find wrong with me to make them go so far away from me, to make them go after nothings and become themselves nothings?

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 6 They didn't ask, 'Where is ADONAI, who brought us out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the desert, through a land of wastes and ravines, through a land of drought and death-dark shadows, through a land where no one travels and where no one ever lived?'

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 7 I brought you into a fertile land to enjoy its fruit and all its good things; but when you entered, you defiled my land and made my heritage loathsome. 8 The cohanim didn't ask, 'Where is ADONAI?' Those who deal with the Torah did not know me, the people's shepherds rebelled against me; the prophets prophesied by Ba'al and went after things of no value.

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 9 "So again I state my case against you," says ADONAI, "and state it against your grandchildren too. 10 Cross to the coasts of the Kitti'im and look; send to Kedar and observe closely; see if anything like this has happened before: 11 has a nation ever exchanged its gods (and theirs are not gods at all!)? Yet my people have exchanged their Glory for something without value.

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 12 Be aghast at this, you heavens! Shudder in absolute horror!" says ADONAI. 13 "For my people have committed two evils: they have abandoned me, the fountain of living water, and dug themselves cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water! 14 "Is Isra'el a slave, born into serfdom? If not, why has he become plunder?

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 15 The young lions are roaring at him - how loudly they are roaring! They desolate his country, demolishing and depopulating his cities. 16 The people of Nof and Tachpanches feed on the crown of your head. 17 "Haven't you brought this on yourself by abandoning ADONAI your God when he led you along the way?

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 18 If you go to Egypt, what's in it for you? Drinking water from the Nile? If you go to Ashur, what's in it for you? Drinking water from the [Euphrates] River? 19 Your own wickedness will correct you, your own backslidings will convict you; you will know and see how bad and bitter it was to abandon ADONAI your God, and how fear of me is not in you," says Adonai ELOHIM-Tzva'ot.

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 20 "For long ago I broke your yoke; when I snapped your chains, you said, 'I won't sin.' Yet on every high hill, under every green tree, you sprawled and prostituted yourself. 21 But I planted you as a choice vine of seed fully tested and true. How did you degenerate into a wild vine for me? 22 Even if you scrub yourself with soda and plenty of soap, the stain of your guilt is still there before me," says Adonai ELOHIM.

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 23 "How can you say, 'I am not defiled, I have not pursued the ba'alim'? Look at your conduct in the valley, understand what you have done. You are a restive young female camel, running here and there, 24 wild, accustomed to the desert, sniffing the wind in her lust - who can control her when she's in heat? Males seeking her need not weary themselves, for at mating season they will find her.

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 25 "Stop before your shoes wear out, and your throat is dry from thirst! But you say, 'No, it's hopeless! I love these strangers, and I'm going after them.' 26 Just as a thief is ashamed when caught, so is the house of Isra'el ashamed - they, their kings, their leaders, their cohanim and their prophets,

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 27 who say to a log, 'You are my father,' and to a stone, 'You gave us birth.' For they have turned their backs to me instead of their faces. But when trouble comes, they will plead, 'Rouse yourself and save us!'

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 28 Where are your gods that you made for yourselves? Let them rouse themselves, if they can save you when trouble comes. Y'hudah, you have as many gods as you have cities! END (Baruch HaShem)

Jeremiah 2:4-28

• 28 After this, knowing that all things had accomplished their purpose, Yeshua, in order to fulfill the words of the Tanakh, said, "I'm thirsty." 29 A jar full of cheap sour wine was there; so they soaked a sponge in the wine, coated it with oregano leaves and held it up to his mouth.

John 19:28 to end of chapter

• 30 After Yeshua had taken the wine, he said, "It is accomplished!" And, letting his head droop, he delivered up his spirit. 31 It was Preparation Day, and the Judeans did not want the bodies to remain on the stake on Shabbat, since it was an especially important Shabbat. So they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies removed.


• 32 The soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man who had been put on a stake beside Yeshua, then the legs of the other one; 33 but when they got to Yeshua and saw that he was already dead, they didn't break his legs. 34 However, one of the soldiers stabbed his side with a spear, and at once blood and water flowed out.


• 35 The man who saw it has testified about it, and his testimony is true. And he knows that he tells the truth, so you too can trust. 36 For these things happened in order to fulfill this passage of the Tanakh: "Not one of his bones will be broken." 37 And again, another passage says, "They will look at him whom they have pierced."


• 38 After this, Yosef of Ramatayim, who was a talmid of Yeshua, but a secret one out of fear of the Judeans, asked Pilate if he could have Yeshua's body. Pilate gave his consent, so Yosef came and took the body away. 39 Also Nakdimon, who at first had gone to see Yeshua by night, came with some seventy pounds of spices -- a mixture of myrrh and aloes.


• 40 They took Yeshua's body and wrapped it up in linen sheets with the spices, in keeping with Judean burial practice. 41 In the vicinity of where he had been executed was a garden, and in the garden was a new tomb in which no one had ever been buried.


• 42 So, because it was Preparation Day for the Judeans, and because the tomb was close by, that is where they buried Yeshua. END (Baruch HaShem)

• Let’s talk a little about exactly where the Crucifixion took place.

Rebbe’s Parsha

• Next week we’ll get back to our Messianic Judaism 101 classes but there’s been a couple questions that have come up in the last couple weeks so…

• I thought it’d be best to do a class from our Messianic Apologetics Course first.

• This morning we’re going to take a look at the questions or accusations that may be shot at you from Non-Messianic Believers

• All of the Scriptures I use here will be from the KJV and the NIV for their sake.

• I try not to use too many Messianic terms either.

• It’s best to keep it simple

• And please keep in mind this teaching isn’t exhaustive.

• For every scripture a non-Messianic shoots at me, I usually have 10 or more to shoot back but…

• I tried to keep this particular teaching very concise so that it doesn’t get too complicated.

• I have found that this is just a good way to start any Messianic Apologetics course.

• I’ve asked Bob to come and play the part of the Non-Messianic and he and I are going to have a typical conversation.

• Now, the conversation you have with someone may not go exactly like this, but, it’ll be close.

• You also may not choose to be as harsh as I am here in this conversation, you gotta use some wisdom and…

• you may even choose not to talk to the person at all if you don’t think you’re going to get anywhere with them.

• Remember, you’re not obligated to go and convince anyone.

• You have the Pearl of Great Price, you don’t have to beg anyone to take it from you.

• If you do choose to engage, never let them see you get angry, you’re more effective just standing your ground.

• So Bob if you’ll come forward and start off our dialogue.

• Non-Messianic: You’re under the Law…• Romans 6:14 says…• For sin shall not have dominion over you: for

ye are not under the law, but under grace.

• My reply: Jesus Himself said in Matthew 5:18 • For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth

pass , one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

• Have you noticed the earth has not passed away?

• Non-Messianic: Well you can be under Law, I’ll be under grace.

• My reply: Believers in Jesus are supposed to be zealous for the Law… Acts 21 says…

• 20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, and said unto him, Thou seest , brother, how many thousands of Jews there are which believe ; and they are all zealous of the law.

• Non-Messianic: : Well that’s ok for Jewish Believers I suppose but we gentiles don’t have to do that.

• My reply: The Bible says in Exodus 12• 49 The same Law applies to the native-born

and to the alien living among you. • Where do you see Jesus or the Disciples or

anyone in the Bible contradicting that?

• Leviticus echoes this in chapter 24 KJV• 22 Ye shall have one manner of law, as well

for the stranger, as for one of your own country: for I am the LORD your God.

• Non-Messianic: That’s for the Jews, look it’s in the Old testament. It’s not for Christians.

• My reply: Was Paul a Jew or a Christian after he started following Jesus?

• Non-Messianic: He was a Christian.• My reply… Acts 22:3 says• 3 "I am a Jew, born in Tarsus of Cilicia, but

brought up in this city. Under Gamaliel I was thoroughly trained in the law of our fathers and was just as zealous for God as any of you are today.

• He didn’t say he WAS a Jew he said I AM a Jew. He went further and said…

• Acts 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.

• He didn’t say he WAS a Pharisee, he said, “I am a Pharisee”. The Pharisees kept the Law.

• Non-Messianic: The Jews have too many laws, we can’t even keep them all.

• My reply: What kind of loving Father would give His children an objective impossible to keep? What kind of sadistic god do you serve???

• Non-Messianic: We all sin! For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.

• My reply: That doesn’t mean we have to continue to sin. That’s a lie from the Enemy that you’ve bought into… John 8 says:

• 10 When Jesus had lifted up himself , and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? 11 She said , No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

• So obviously we CAN go and sin no more.

• Non-Messianic: The Law is a curse.• My reply: Galatians 3:10 says… For as many

as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written , Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

• The curse of the law is the curse which comes from not keeping it… just as it has always been.

• Non-Messianic: But Peter had a vision which clearly showed we don’t have to keep the law and shouldn’t call any food unclean.

• My reply: That passage in acts 10 says this in verse 28 And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company , or come unto one of another nation; but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

• The vision was about how Peter should react to a Gentile Man, it had nothing to do with food. In fact, if the Disciples or Paul thought it was ok to eat pig, they’d have never been allowed in any Synagogue and Paul could no longer call himself a Pharisee.

• Paul kept all the Law we see in Acts 21:24

• James said to Paul in Acts 21…• 24 Them take , and purify thyself with them,

and be at charges with them, that they may shave their heads: and all may know that those things, whereof they were informed concerning thee, are nothing; but that thou thyself also walkest orderly , and keepest the law.

• The Law has NOT been done away with. Jesus fulfilled it. I fulfill my contract of marriage everyday to my wife. I don’t fulfill it one day and then it’s over. Fulfilling something can and in this case is continually being fulfilled. Jesus still doesn’t break any of His Laws.

• Non-Messianic: But that was all the Law of Moses.

• My reply: There’s no such thing as the Law of Moses. Who gave those Laws to Moses? G-d did, they are G-d’s Laws, not Moses’.

• Do you believe that Jesus is G-d?• Non-Messianic: Yes• My reply: Then those are Jesus’ Laws aren’t

they and Jesus said in the New Testament in John 14

• 15 If ye love me, keep my commandments.• Non-Messianic: But Jesus said that all the

commandments hang on loving God and your neighbor.

• My reply: If you truly love G-d and your neighbor, you’ll keep all of G-d’s Laws. If you don’t keep all of G-d’s Laws then you don’t love Him or your neighbor. Currently, you’re breaking many Biblical laws like:

• The Bible says we’re supposed to keep G-d’s Holy feasts forever. When speaking of the Feast of Booths G-d said in Lev 23… 41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year. It shall be a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall celebrate it in the seventh month.

• It doesn’t say just until the Messiah comes.

• Non-Messianic: Yeah, but that’s the “Feasts of the Jews”.

• My reply: The Bible never calls them the “Feasts of the Jews” or the “Feasts of Israel” anywhere. In fact each and every time it says, “These are My feasts saith the L-rd.” These are G-d’s feasts and you’re not keeping them. You’re breaking His Laws and it is separating you from Him. This is your chance to repent and make things right.

• You need to know the Law doesn’t save you. The Law is what you follow AFTER you get Saved and that in turn brings you into a better understanding of G-d’s Word.

• Non-Messianic: I thought Acts says we only have to keep some of the Laws?

• My reply: In Acts 15:19 it says…

• Acts 15:19• 19 Wherefore my sentence is , that we trouble not

them, which from among the Gentiles are turned to God: 20 But that we write unto them, that they abstain from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and from things strangled, and from blood.

• These are some of the minimum requirements for Gentiles, not the maximum. Notice, murder isn't even listed there.

• They cant possibly be the maximum because Jesus gave additional laws then what is listed in this passage like during communion in 1 Cor 11 verse 25

• 25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped , saying , This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye ,as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

• That’s a commandment. It’s not part of the list in Acts and it’s not listed in the ten commandments. It’s an additional law that Jesus expects us to keep. Jesus didn’t do away with any of the Law but he did ADD some more laws.

• Non-Messianic: But I thought we were free from the Law???

• G-d gives only good things to His Children. The Law is good for us, why would you want to be free from it? The word Law means instruction and who doesn’t need a little instruction from time to time?

• We want Law and so did the First Church.• 1 Corinthians 9:21 says…

• To those not having the law I became like one not having the law though I am not free from God's law but am under Christ's law, so as to win those not having the law.

• Would Paul have to win you over to Law?• ‘Cause if he would have to win you over to

Law, then you’re on the wrong side.

• Non-Messianic: You worship on Saturday, the Lord changed the Sabbath to Sunday.

• My reply: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that. But it does say in Ex 31

• 13Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying, Verily my sabbaths ye shall keep: for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations; that ye may know that I am the LORD that doth sanctify you.

• Non-Messianic: That was to the children of Israel, not to Gentiles.

• My reply: The Children of Israel included Gentiles (called the “sojourner” in the Bible) or anyone who wanted to follow G-d.

• Before Jesus came, G-d didn’t reject people who wanted to follow Him. Do you really think G-d rejected people because they were Gentiles?

• Non-Messianic: What you’re suggesting is that we’re supposed to do works… and we don’t have to do works anymore because Jesus died for our sins. That’s why He came!

• My reply: James 2:14 says 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.

• In other words, if you have no works, you have no faith. And Jesus didn’t come to save us from works He came to save us from everlasting death.

• Non-Messianic: Why would I even want to be a Messianic Jew? There’s no advantage to it. There’s neither Jew or Greek in Christ Jesus.

• My reply: Paul said in Romans 3:1-2 NIV• 1 What advantage, then, is there in being a

Jew, or what value is there in circumcision? 2 Much in every way! First of all, the Jews have been entrusted with the very words of God.

• Much in every way! Did you know the New Testament said that? What else do you think is being kept from you?

• Do you know when the Disciples found out when Jesus was going to die?

• Non-Messianic: Yes, not long before the crucifixion.

• My reply: Can you tell me one simple thing then, the one thing you should know beyond a shadow of a doubt… what is the Gospel?

that Jesus came and died for my sins and was then resurrected that I may have eternal life.

• Jesus called James and John to follow Him in Mathew chapter 4

• 22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

• 23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.

• This is the very beginning of Mathew. Jesus hadn’t revealed to anyone that He was going to die let alone rise from the dead for their sins.

• In fact even after He died, the Disciples didn’t believe he was going to rise. They were shocked when He did. No one would’ve been shocked if he’d been preaching it everywhere from the very beginning don’t you think?

• Non-Messianic: Yeah, I hadn’t thought about that I guess.

• My reply: So now you realize that you don’t even know what the Gospel is. It’s one of the very fundamentals of our faith and you haven’t been taught the truth about it.

• Non-Messianic: Ok so what is the Gospel?

• At this point Bob if you could turn to the audience and say (including saying “Your reply)… “Your reply: Why don’t you come to Synagogue and find out. Rabbi would love to talk to you.

• I’ll then turn to the audience and say… “Please stand for the Benediction”.
