Jerusalem Tours - Shalom Jerusalem Tours

Jerusalem Tours - Shalom Jerusalem Tours Have you ever dreamed of visiting the land of Israel? The Holy Land is a place where the past meets the present and the words of Scripture come alive.

ISRAEL

A visit to Israel is not just a spiritual tour but a life changing journey! Most of all however, a visit to Israel brings the Bible (Torah) to life - it is a journey through the Holy Book which helps us to come to understanding the past, present and what is to come. Can you imagine the excitement when you drive east from Tel Aviv's airport and suddenly there - nestled among the Judean hill

s, lies JERUSALEM! Could this be the view Yeshua enjoyed before He entered the City seated on a donkey and the crowd paved His way with palm branches? And when you stand in the GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE and touch the knurled trunks of ancient olive trees (which the guide tells you are over 2000 years old) you are humbled by the thought that it could have been these very branches under which Yeshua prayed in the hours before His betrayal. Visit the SEA OF GALILEA and stroll among the ruins of CAPERNAUM. Look up towards the MOUNT OF BEATITUDES and it is easy to visualise Yeshua looking across the sea of faces and delivering His Sermon on the Mount. And if you take a walk along the lakeshore in the early evening and the wind is tossing the waves violently, it is so easy to imagine a small boat with anxious disciples and their Master comforting them . . . The ravages of war and the signs of progress have obliterated much of the Israel of Yeshua’ time, but underneath it the entire Bible remains alive. Bethlehem may no longer be a neither small town, nor Nazareth a rural village but… they're still there, and they hold the history of the faith. A visit to Israel could mean a swim in the DEAD SEA, the view from the MOUNT OF OLIVES, a walk along the VIA DOLOROSA, a visit to the tombs of ABRAHAM and ISAAC, a journey across the Negev Desert, or strolling through the narrow streets of Old Jerusalem. No matter where you are in Israel, familiar names will leap at you constantly - you will be close to the Bible every minute of the day. If you love your Father in heaven and enjoy every relationship with Him you can't afford not to visit Israel.

Shalom Shalom Family ⚘️

Take not for granted the smallest things and let it not slip our minds unnoticed. In all things, let us be reminded that every day is a gift and a blessing.

How often do individuals focus on the bad and speak the negative into their own lives? Giving it words to increase and feeding it by constant complaints.

Hosea 10:12
Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek YHVH, until He comes and showers His righteousness on you.

A farmer will not just leave his dry land to waist, he will take care of it, preparing the soil to be plowed, plant seeds (positive) and pray for YHVH to send the rain.

Isaiah 45:8
“You heavens above, rain down my righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up, let righteousness flourish with it; I, YHVH, have created it.

Acts 14:17
Yet He has not left Himself without testimony: He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy.

We experience the best joy and outcome in our life, when we give constant glory to YHVH. In the right season we will reap the good fruit of all our hard labor. Nothing just fall into our hands and just as grounds needs to be pepaired , and the seeds planted in the soil, there is a waiting time. While we wait, we pray that YHVH bless us by pouring out His blessings in our life.

Block out speaking curses in your own life, allowing negativity to take over everything you worked for. Speak life and experience prosperity.

Our Heavenly Father and Great I Am, thank You for every sparing life. Thank You for the joy we have, waking up this morning hearing the sound of rain, knowing that You have send doen the rain to feed the grounds. Thank You for patience and endurance. Even the very supportive structure to uphold us in our growth. Our Heavenly Father we are blessed with so many blessings and we take joy this morning, giving thanks with our hearts and spirit. Thank You for being our provider and taking care of us. Thank You for blessings of our children, family and friends. To You all the glory and praise. Please forgive us our trespasses and sins. Forgive us for every negative attitude and word spoken. Let Your kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Be blessed and stay blessed 🌷

L**h-L**ha

Our life changes when we connects with the Power of our Almighty and allow Him to do His will for us. Not only is this a important step of faith but, acknowledging that our relationship with YHVH is an act of love and spontaneous obedience.

Psalm 62:11
“Power belongs to you, YHVH.”

We would like to live in peace, experience love, prosperity and happiness. To experience the best things in life is to recognize the power of that is in YHVH's Name. Just by the power of YHVH's spoken words all comes to existence.

Our course and ways are determined by our Creator his plans are never to harm us but to offer us a.life of goodness and prosperity with a future.

Through our obedience to Him, YHVH will be moving mountains and opening seas. YHVH has the power to do more than what we can even imagine.

Matthew 22:14
“Many are called but few are chosen”

This statement is the conclusion to the Parable of the Wedding Feast. Yeshua spoke this parable to show what the kingdom of heaven will be like when the end of the age comes.

In the parable, the king sends his servants out to gather the wedding guests to the wedding feast. But those invited refused to come, some because they were too busy with their own worldly pursuits and some because they were positively hostile toward the king. So the king commands his servants to go out and invite anyone they find, and many come and fill the wedding hall. But the king sees one man without wedding clothes, and he sends him away.

Yeshua concludes by saying that many are called "invited" to the kingdom, but only those who have been “chosen” and have received Yeshua, will come.

The phrase "L**h L**ha" translates to "go forth" or "you should go".

This is an order that YHVH gave to Abram when YHVH prepared not only to change Abram's course but destined a future of hope and a foundation that will change the future of all his generations.

L**h-L**ha is considered a significant step in human history. YHVH calls Abram to leave his home and to go to a land that YHVH Himself will show him. This again indicates that Abram will not travel on his own, but that YHVH will lead the way.

YHVH promises to be with Abram and his family, to bless all nations of the earth through his family. YHVH who is the owner of all the earth and all that exist plannec to show Abram the land YHVH will define its borders.

In obedience to the instruction YHVH gave to Abram, Abram's entire future will change. Abram's journey is a mew identity and a new version of himself.

Genesis 12:1
YHVH had said to Abram, ‘Go [l**h l**ha] from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.’”

The Hebrew word l**h (לֶךְ) means "go". L**ha refers to "you" Another refrain of the word "l**ha" is "L**ha Dodi" which means "Let us go, my beloved, to greet the bride, the Sabbath presence, let us welcome" and is a request of Yisrael's "beloved" to join together in welcoming a "bride"

As a "bridegroom" will leave his home and prepare a home for his bride, YHVH as the Father prepared a home for His righteous son. This will be a place called "home". A place that is the new beginning of a future with his bride.

In the beginning YHVH instructed Adam and Chavah ‘life giver’ (Eve) to go out, be fruitful and multiply" in Genesis 1:28

The meaning of Chavah as ‘life giver’ comes to her only after she gives birth, become the mother of all the (Humans) living.” (Genesis 3:20)

L**h L**ha" is referred to as the Great Commission.

Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of "all nations", baptizing them in the "Name of the Fathe"r and of "the Son" and of "the Holy Spirit" and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

The command"L**h L**ha,” carries the most exciting messages of YHVH’s call to His people to make exit and "aliyah" , literally to "go up or to ascend", to leave country, kindred, home and go to the Promised Land.

This resonate so deeply, spiritually and comforting to know that YHVH prepared a future and a place for us.

Yeshua HaMashiach is the Chosen one, YHVH had amazing plans for us through Yeshua. Every plan of YHVH is purposeful and determined for the best outcome.

Just as YHVH chosen Yeshua as the Messiah, that will change direction towards YHVH, YHVH chosen people in ancient times to contribute to the destined plan.

The Hebrew word "to choose" is בָּחַר, which is pronounced "bachar" and also meaning a biological. The Hebrew meaning "Bechira" means "the chosen one".

YHVH as the Alpha and Omega have a perfect plan from the beginning to everlasting.

Genesis 1:27-8
“So YHVH created mankind in His own image, in the image of YHVH He created them; male and female He created them. YHVH blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it.”

As the Creator and owner of all heaven, earth and all that exist, YHVH has the right to a "Chosen" one that will determine the full purpose of YHVH's plan

The word "aliyah" in Hebrew means to immigrate to the Land of "promise". When a person makes "aliyah’ it refers to "immigratation. Just as these words are defined a meaning as oleh or olah it means one who goes up. Abram was chosen by YHVH to oleh "go up".

YHVH chosen a very specific place, that YHVH Himself prepared at the time of creation for HIS purpose. YHVH established.

Genesis 12:2-3
“I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”

YHVH had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Yerushalayim, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Yisrael, will "I put My Name for ever" 2 Chronicles 33:7

These passages emphasize that YHVH's covenant with Abraham and shows YHVH's heart for a diverse and redeemed people, gathered from every part of the world, ultimately fulfilling His promise to bless all families of the earth.

Genesis 12:1–4
Now YHVH said1 to Abram,“Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and pin you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” So Abram went, as YHVH told him, and Lot went with him.

As Abraham's entire future depended on the plans YHVH had for him, it was Abraham's faith and trust carried him through.

Galatians 3:7–9
Know then thst it is thise of faith who are the sons of Abraham. And the Scripture, foreseeing that YHVH would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying; In you shall all the nations be blessed.” So then, those who are of faith are blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith .

Isaiah 48:3
“I foretold the former things long ago.They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to be heard. Suddenly I acted, so they came about.

YHVH's grace, love and His peace surely surpasses all understanding. There is no peace for the wicked.

Isaiah 48:15-19
I, I have spoken, yes I called him. I will bring him, so his ways will succeed. Draw near to Me, hear this: Since the beginning, I have not spoken in secret. From the time it existed, I was there. So now YHVH Elohim has sent Me, and His Ruach. Thus says YHVH, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Yisrael:
“I Am YHVH your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. If only you had listened to My commandments! then your peace would be like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea. Your seed would have been like sand, and your offspring like its grains.
Their name would never be cut off or destroyed from before Me.”

YHVH gave the land he showed to Abraham as a inheritance for ever. YHVH directed the way to Abraham, YHVH led the Yisraelites through the desert and He provided the water. Nothing is done in secret andBy His spirit He leads us to His promises that will be fulfilled.

Isaiah 48:21-22
They did not thirst when He led them through the deserts.
He caused the water to flow out of the rock for them.
He split the rock also, and the waters gushed out.’”
“There is no shalom,” says YHVH, “for the wicked.”

The earth is filled with His Glory As the generations of Abraham are blessed, the earth is filled with a multitude of the offspring of Abraham.

Genesis 28:13–14
“I Am YHVH, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and … all peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.”

The wicked ones try to bring great division into the world, but it is YHVH Himself that will do the final sifting, removing the wicked. The Kingdom of YHVH will never be shaken, nor will it be destroyed. YHVH's power will prevail and His promises never fail. All will be accomplished.

Revelation 7:9–11 (A Great Multitude from Every Nation)
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number from every nation, from all tribes and people and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white white robes, with palm branches in their hands and crying out with a loud voice, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne and to the Lamb" And all the Angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped YHVH.

A House divided cannot stand. There is only One God and One faith. In Standing together undivided we are His people.

Isaiah 54:10
“‘Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed,’ says YHVH, who has compassion on you.’”

When YHVH commanded Abram to walk the length and breadth of the land, it fulfilled a legal custom in ancient times to claim ownership of a property by walking through it.

Do we also claim our ownership to walk by faith and in His truth to be chosen for the promised Kingdom.

Noah walked “with” YHVH; YHVH paved the way for Abram to walk “before” YHVH, to come to the knowledge of faith in his walk knowing the one true God is with him.

Abram crossed over into his destiny chosen by YHVH, and his descendants inherited the reward and blessing. May we, too, come to this life-altering place where we “cross over” into a newness of new beginnings, experiencing our life with Him.

As the wedding feast is prepared, we participate in being clothed and ready.

Genesis 5:24
And Enoch walked with YHVH: and he was not; for YHVH took him."

In this verse above, the Hebrew word for "took" is "laqach" and it means:

"To take, receive, to be led away, to be captured, to gain possession, exercise authority. To take a woman means "to "marry a wife", to be taken away from her family, have a relationship with her and bring children forth.

In fact it means to win her heart over and let her desires be for you that is her husband. When you have children that she will teach the children well. " It shares its root with the Hebrew word "leqach" which means: "teaching, instruction, learning". The Groom coming to sweep His Bride off her feet and take her to be married, after she has purified herself, through His teaching and instruction.

The Hebrew word for "went up" is the same word as "aliyah" and means: "to go up, ascend, rise, to be lifted up, to be carried away. The base meaning of "rise in elevation" stem from "to exalt, honour."

To those who believe in the God of Yisrael, the Messiah Yeshua our Savior, we are being "called up" to live our lives increasingly holy and be focused on the One that is "above".

Yeshua was without sin, Enoch "pleased God" and Elijah was a prophet of God, Noah and Abraham walked righteously. Yeshua HaMashiach is known as the Righteous one who sits at the right side of YHVH.

Soon we will celebrate the Feast of Chanukah, which means "Feast of Dedication." That feast is all about the Messiah hidden in plain sight, being "dedicated" to YHVH in holiness.

Before the bride is ready she goes through a time of purification and cleansing.

1 Corinthians 6. 19-20
Know you not that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have of YHVH, and you are not your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify YHVH in your body, and in your spirit...."

When YHVH ask us to leave everything, we must embrace, be joyful in our hearts as He opens the door for us. These words speak to us, to go to the Land that “He will show you.”

This is a level of trust that you can only understand fully when you spiritual and physically experience it. This is a time of reflection before we make AliaYah.

Lesson Continuing!

Be blessed and stay blessed

REMEMBER

Shabbat, October 7th: A Day Forever Remembered

Never forgotten, forever remembering the lives taken, all who are still in captivity.

Shabbat, a day of rest on October 7th 2023 will be written in the hearts and minds of many. Today marks the anniversary that weighs heavy entering these High Holy Days

The nations of Yisrael and all over the world looked upon the most evil actions that took place on a Holy Shabbat, commemorated the deadliest year in five decades for those killed in war and terror.

One of the most heart-wrenching events of this invasion was the massacre at an outdoor music festival near Re'im, resulting in countless innocent lives lost. Civilians, including children, were not only caught in the crossfire but deliberately targeted.

On October 7, 2023, Yisrael faced an unprecedented crisis, a day that changed the lives of a nation and touched the hearts of the world.

This was a weekend music festival that took place in the South of Yisrael beginning on October 6th, 2023, and that at 6:29am on the morning became one the main sites attacked on October 7th, resulting in most gruesome death Hamas militant groups launched.

It was a wide-scale operation named "Operation al-Aqsa Flood" against Yisrael from the Gaza Strip. This operation was not just a series of attacks but a meticulously planned invasion that plunged the region into chaos. The initiative began with a massive rocket barrage, where thousands of missiles rained down upon Yisraeli soil, causing significant destruction and loss of life.

Ecclesiastes 9:12
Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.

The assault didn't stop there. Armed militants infiltrated Yisrael, employing various modes of attack, from vehicles to boats and even paragliders. Yisraeli towns and military installations near the Gaza border became war zones, with reports of massacres, hostage situations, and intense street battles.

The aftershock of October 7th is still being felt, not only in the affected areas but throughout the world. The international community responded with a mixture of sorrow, outrage, and calls for peace.

As we navigate the aftermath of this dark day, the stories of resilience, unity, and hope emerging from the shadows serve as a beacon for a better tomorrow.

Remembering October 7th is not just about the pain and loss but also about the unwavering Yisraeli spirit and our shared commitment to healing and peace.

While war still persist and escalate from all sides, we pray earnestly for the peace of Yerushalayim.

This commemoration is a time to weep and a time to come together, a time to show what unites us, not what divides us and a time to demonstrate resilience.

While many stand in torn garments from the pain they cannot bare, we know that soon we all will be reunite with our loved ones.

The tearing of gatments is a symbol of mourning and deep sorrow. As we remember the blood-drenched Yeshua HaMashiach, we cant comprehend a deeper rendering of heart brokenness in the heart of YHVH and of the people who experienced this first hand.

These are tears in the heart of the State of Yisrael, shattered, bereaved, crying bitter tears, refusing to be comforted for its sons and daughters as this great tragedy has befallen them.

Isaiah 40
“Comfort, comfort My people,” says your GOD.
Speak kindly to the heart of Yerushalayim and proclaim to her that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed. For she has received from Adonai’s hand double for all her sins.

A voice cries out in the wilderness, “Prepare the way of YHVH, Make straight in the desert a highway for our GOD.

Every valley will be lifted up, every mountain and hill made low, the rough ground will be a plain and the rugged terrain smooth. The glory of YHVH will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together.” For the mouth of YHVH has spoken.

A voice is saying, “Cry out!”So I said, “What shall I cry out?”
“All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades.
For the breath of YHVH blows on it.Surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades. But the word of our God stands forever.”

Get yourself up on a high mountain, you who bring good news to Zion! Lift up your voice with strength, you who bring good news to Yerushalayim! Lift it up! Do not fear!

Say to the cities of Yudah:
“Behold your GOD!”
Look, YHVH Elohim comes with might, with His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him.

Like a shepherd, He tends His flock. He gathers the lambs in His arms carries them in his bosom, and gently guides nursing ewes.

Who Is Like Him?

Who has measured the waters in the palm of His hand, or measured out heaven with a span, or calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, or weighed the mountains in scales,
or the hills in a balance?

Who can fathom the Ruach YHVH? Or instruct HIM as HIS counselor? With whom did HE consult, and who instructed HIM? Who taught HIM in the path of justice or taught HIM knowledge? Who informed HIM about the way of understanding?

Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and count as a speck of dust on the scales. Behold, the islands weigh as fine dust.

Lebanon is not enough to burn, or its animals enough for a burnt offering. All the nations are as nothing before HIM.
By HIM they are accounted null and void.

To whom then will you liken YHVH?
To what likeness will you compare HIM? To an idol? A craftsman casts it, a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it.

One too poor for such an offering chooses wood that will not rot. He looks for a skilled craftsman to prepare HIM an idol that will not totter.

Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told to you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

HE sits above the circle of the earth, its inhabitants are like grasshoppers. HE stretches out the skies like a curtain,
spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. HE reduces princes to nothing. HE makes the judges of the earth a confusion.

Scarcely are they planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely their stem takes root in the earth, when HE blows on them and they wither, and a storm carries them off as stubble.

“To whom then will you liken ME?
Or who is MY equal?” says the Holy One.

Lift up your eyes on high, and see!
Who created these?
The One who brings out their host by number,
the One who calls them all by name. Because of HIS great strength and vast power, not one is missing.

Why do you say, O Yaacov, and assert, O Yisrael, “My way is hidden from YHVH, and the justice due me escapes the notice of my GOD ”?

Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
YHVH IS THE ETERNAL GOD, the Creator of the ends of the earth. HE does not grow tired or weary. HIS understanding is unsearchable. HE gives strength to the weary, and to one without vigor HE adds might.

Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall, but they who wait for YHVH will renew their strength. They will soar up with wings as eagles. They will run, and not grow weary. They will walk, and not be faint.

Psalms 106:4-5
Remember me, O YHVH, when You favor Your people. Visit me with Your salvation (when You rescue them), That I may see the prosperity of Your chosen ones, That I may rejoice in the gladness of YOUR nation, That I may glory with Your inheritance.

Remember me.
Be blessed and stay blessed!

Ha’Azinu (Listen)

YHVH commands Moshe to go up to the top of Mount Nebo to catch a glimpse of the Promised Land before being “gathered unto His people.”

YHVH brought the Yisraelites out of slavery in Egypt and brought the ancestors of the generation in Deuteronomy to the edge of the promised land. But they rebelled, refusing to enter the promised land. They let their fear and discouragement take precedent over trusting YHVH.

James, the brother of Yeshua, write in the New Testament; “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.” Other versions say “judged by a stricter standard” or “judged more severely than others.”

There are consequences in decisions, choices and way of actions taken. Moshr was not allowed to enter the Promised Land because when YHVH told him to speak to a rock so that it would send out water for the Yisraelites to drink in the desert, Moshe struck the rock with his staff instead.

In response to this, YHVH told Moshe, “Because you did not believe in me, to uphold ME as HOLY in the eyes of the people of Yisrael, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land that I have given them.”

YHVH remained faithful to the Exodus generation and their children as they wandered in the desert for forty years. And after forty years, this new generation was preparing to put down roots where they had never lived. It was a season of overwhelming transition, a second chance to live as an obedient people in response to a good God who never stopped sustaining His people.

Moshe also took credit for the action himself: “Must we bring you water out of this rock?” Anyone who is entrusted with the responsibility of acting on YHVH’s behalf must always be very careful to make sure that YHVH gets all of the Glory, credit, and praise.

YHVH had already chosen and protected His people, through Egypt and the exodus and in the wilderness. The covenant was an invitation into a new kind of life, a way for the Yisraelites to to demonstrate YHVH ’s goodness and love to the entire world as a nation.

In today’s life it is not much difference as many read the Truth, they see and hear the truth but by their own choices they are not attentive to hear the Word of YHVH and follow the direction of the world.

The Scripture reveals that to this point the Yisraelites had been regarding Moshe as the physical representation of YHVH.

Im yet another issue arises again during the reign of Uzziah, and in his case, the nature of the offense is made very explicit: “But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride led to his downfall. He was unfaithful to YHVH his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. Azariah the priest with eighty other courageous priests of YHVH ollowed him in. They confronted King Uzziah and said, ‘It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to YHVH. That is for the priests, the descendants of Aaron, who have been consecrated to burn incense. Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the YHVH”

Deuteronomy 32:1
“Give ear [Ha’Azinu], Oh heavens, and I will speak …”

After Moshe was punished by not "listening" or being attentive in his hearing to YHVH, Moshe received his verdict. But in all, Moshe had to accept what YHVH have decided.

Rebellion is worse, as it would have turned into worse consequences. Moshe accepted his verdict, while YHVH appointed Yoshua to take the lead. In this Moshe gathered the people to listen to his song.

While Moshe gathered the people together to listen to a shir (song) called Ha’Azinu (Listen), he song became to be a reminder of the consequences of turning from YHVH.

Spiritual leaders do affect their followers, both directly, in terms of the consequences of their decisions and choices, and indirectly, through their example.

Not only Moshes's disobedience, but also thre disobedience of Yisraelites lead to punishment.

Deuteronomy 32:52
“Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Yisrael.”

Moshe wax allowed to see the land, but was told that he shall not enter in. It is a devastating disappointment and, yet, he ends his public life with a song.

Moshe promised in (Deuteronomy 31:21) that the words of the Torah would not be “forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants.”

The song begins by describing YHVH’s lovingkindness and faithfulness toward Israel, and it ends with a promise of vengeance, redemption, and atonement for God’s land and people.

Moshe had three songs written. The first in Deuteronomy 31 is Ha’Azinu (Listen),

The other is the song of the Lamb, which refers to another song which was known by the first readers of Revelation 15:3-4.2

Toward the end of Deuteronomy 31, YHVH warns Moshe that after his death, Yisrael will sin, causing YHVH to become angry and abandon Yisrael, allowing troubles to rain down upon their heads. Deuteronomy 31 YHVH tells Moshe to teach the Yisraelites the Ha’azinu song that describes how YHVH will destroy the Yisraelites and remove them from HIS land when they worship other gods. The song is meant as a proof to the Yisraelites that YHVH warned them in advance what would happen.

The Yisraelites will then realize that YHVH will maintain HIS distance. At this point, YHVH surprisingly instructs Moses to teach the Yisraelites a poem or song before his death, which Moshe promptly writes down and teaches them.

Deuteronomy 31:17, 18
And I will hide My countenance from them, Yet I will keep My countenance hidden on that day.

Deuteronomy 31:20
And they eat their fill and grow fat and turn to other gods and serve them, spurning Me and breaking My covenant.

Deuteronomy 31:30
Then Moshe recited the words of this poem to the very end, in the hearing of the whole congregation of Yisrael.

Deuteronomy 32:20
He said: I will hide My countenance from them,

Deuteronomy 32:43
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He wilBut despite these connections, and even despite the explicit statements in 31:30 and 32:44 which frame Ha’azinu as the song, certain pieces of evidence point to this connection as being late and artificial.

Is the song a witness for YHVH against Yisrael, to demonstrate that he warned the Israelites in advance or is it for the Israelites, to explain to them why evil has befallen them ?

YHVH's prediction that Yisrael will go astray and turn to idol worship is repeated. The claim that Yisrael will break the covenant is repeated and the threat that YHVH will hide His face is repeated. Why the repetition?

Repetition is to bring attention in your hearing.
What is the nature of this song? It begins by describing God’s lovingkindness and faithfulness toward Israel, and it ends with a promise of vengeance, redemption, and atonement for God’s land and people.


Deuteronomy 32:43
“Rejoice, O Gentiles, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people.”

The word "Gentile" refers to "Goyim" which means pagan. A pagan is a individual believing in false idols and serving them as their god.

YHVH'’s salvation is available for all people, of every tongue, tribe, race and background. All nations will rejoice together in unity at the goodness of YHVH.

This song has severe words of rebuke against Yisrael for infidelity and unfaithfulness to YHVH. YHVH will not just “hide His face” from His people but He would also render judgment.

Deuteronomy 32:23–24
“I will heap disasters on them; I will spend My arrows on them. They shall be wasted with hunger, devoured by pestilence and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of serpents of the dust.”

These rebukes seem quite harsh and reveal the discipline of YHVH. It is for our good that will ultimately end in our final redemption.
The song of Moshe foresees that the people of Yisrael will make YHVH jealous with their worship of false gods and idols and that YHVH in turn will provoke His people to jealousy with those who are called “not a nation.”

YHVH will turn away, and troubles befall Ysrael.

Deuteronomy 32:21; see also Romans 11:13–15)
“They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not God; they have moved Me to anger by their foolish idols. But I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a nation; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.”

This reference to not a nation is in Hebrew loh ami. It is found again in the Book of Hosea:

Hosea 2:23; (Read Romans 9:25)
“I will plant her for myself in the land; I will show My love to the one I called 'Not My loved one.' I will say to those called 'Not My nation,' (loh ami) 'You are My nation'; and they will say, 'You are My God.'"

When the Yisrael turned.against YHVH and been dispersed into all counties, they were no longer a "nation" but they became "goyim" a pagan "gentile". Therefore they had to repent before they could return to the land.

These people who were once “not a nation” are now YHVH's people.

The Gentiles who have become graftef in to join themselves to the God of Yisrael came to Redemption and Salvation through the Jewish Messiah Yeshua HaMashiach.

1 Peter 2:10
“Once you were not a nation, but now you are the nation of YHVH; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

These are the very people who YHVH has called to salvation to provoke Yisrael to jealousy.

Romans 11:11
“So, I ask, did they stumble in order that they might fall? By no means! Rather through their trespass salvation has come to the Gentiles, so as to make Yisrael jealous.”

The Levi family were to be priests among the 12 tribes. Yeshua HaMashiach is a descendant of Aaron, affirming his priestly succession as the rightful High Priest of Israel.

Studying the genealogy of Yeshua, we find in Matthew and Mark two different accounts. Matthew emphasizes Yeshua’s title and lineage through His adopted father, Yoseph, as the anointed Messiah of Yisrael, calling Yeshua the “son of Abraham” and “the son David.” The narrative reveals that Yeshua was a Levite and a descendant of Aaron, affirming His priestly succession as the rightful High Priest of Yisrael.

Yeshua gathered twelve disciples to go out into the world to the "gentiles" to proclaim the goodness and favor of YHVH. These disciples were chosen to go out.to a dying world to spread the truth about the only true God. The God of Yisrael.

Moshe himself was about to die, having never entered the Promised Land. But he still praised YHVH in song reminding YIsrael of God’s power, love, and faithfulness..It was this ability to sing in the face of apparent tragedy that set Moses apart from the others. He admitted his wrongs yet accepted the punishment.

The Song of Moshe and the Song of the Lamb as in.(Revelation 15:3)

They're not just playing harps, they're singing.
"And they sing the song of Moshe, the servant of YHVH,
and the song of the Lamb...."

The Song of Moses refers to the victory song sung by the people after crossing the Red Sea (Exodus 15:1-3), rejoicing in YHVHs glorious victory. .Let's meditate on the Song of the Lamb line by line. (Revelation 15:3-4)

"Great and amazing are Your deeds,.O YHVH God the Almighty! Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations!
Who will not fear, O YHVH, and glorify YOUR NAME?. For YOU ALONE ARE HOLY. All nations will come and worship YOU,
for YOUR RIGHTEOUS acts have been revealed."

YHVH's deeds are spectacular, numerous, and worthy of praise.Just consider the wonders in the sky above and the earth beneath as the angels open the seals and pour out the bowls of wrath. "Shock and awe" don't begin to measure our reaction.

YHVH's ways are "just and true." Miracles can be counterfeited, but righteousness and truth cannot be faked. YHVH's ways, even his terrible punishments, are "just and true." YHVH's attributes reflect his exalted nature. He is called, "God the Almighty," which corresponds to the Hebrew titles of YHVH. The Almighty (El Shaddai). He is also titled, "King of the nations", "King of the ages", "King of righteous". All Nations Will Worship You (Revelation 15:4)

"WHO WILL NOT FEAR, O YHVH, an,AND GLORIFY YOUR NAME? FOR YOU ALONE ARE HOLY. ALL NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED." (Revelation 15:4)

Revelation 5:12.saying with a loud voice:
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

On the Day of Atonement, a single animal atoned for the sins of all Yisrael.

Look, the Lamb of YHVH, who takes away the sin of the world! '” (John 1:29;. John 11:50-52).

Revelation 12:11
And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death

YHVH was planning this all along: one Lamb to die for one world. By his grace he has provided a lamb “the Lamb that was slain from the creation of the world”

Revelation 14:1-20
Then I looked, and behold, on Mount Zion stood the Lamb, and with him 144,000 who had his name and his Father's name written on their foreheads. And I heard a voice from heaven like the roar of many waters and like the sound of loud thunder. The voice I heard was like the sound of harpists playing on their harps, and they were singing a new song before the throne and before the four living creatures and before the elders. No one could learn that song except the 144,000 who had been redeemed from the earth. It is these who have not defiled themselves with women, for they are virgins. It is these who follow the Lamb wherever he goes. These have been redeemed from mankind as firstfruits for God and the Lamb, and in their mouth no lie was found, for they are blameless. ...

Our Story

ISRAEL A visit to Israel is not just a spiritual tour but a life changing journey! Most of all however, a visit to Israel brings the Bible (Torah) to life - it is a journey through the Holy Book which helps us to come to understanding the past, present and what is to come. Can you imagine the excitement when you drive east from Tel Aviv's airport and suddenly there - nestled among the Judean hills, lies JERUSALEM! Could this be the view Yeshua enjoyed before He entered the City seated on a donkey and the crowd paved His way with palm branches? And when you stand in the GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE and touch the knurled trunks of ancient olive trees (which the guide tells you are over 2000 years old) you are humbled by the thought that it could have been these very branches under which Yeshua prayed in the hours before His betrayal. Visit the SEA OF GALILEA and stroll among the ruins of CAPERNAUM. Look up towards the MOUNT OF BEATITUDES and it is easy to visualise Yeshua looking across the sea of faces and delivering His Sermon on the Mount. And if you take a walk along the lakeshore in the early evening and the wind is tossing the waves violently, it is so easy to imagine a small boat with anxious disciples and their Master comforting them . . . The ravages of war and the signs of progress have obliterated much of the Israel of Yeshua’ time, but underneath it the entire Bible remains alive. Bethlehem may no longer be a neither small town, nor Nazareth a rural village but… they're still there, and they hold the history of the faith. A visit to Israel could mean a swim in the DEAD SEA, the view from the MOUNT OF OLIVES, a walk along the VIA DOLOROSA (The way of the Cross), a visit to the tombs of ABRAHAM and ISAAC, a journey across the Negev Desert, or strolling through the narrow streets of Old Jerusalem. No matter where you are in Israel, familiar names will leap at you constantly - you will be close to the Bible every minute of the day. If you love your Father in heaven and enjoy every relationship with Him you can't afford not to visit Israel.
