We note that Isaiah began in chapter 2 declaring how in the last days Zion, God&#8217;s holy mountain would be the chief of mountains, God&#8217;s Torah (His instruction) would go forth to the nations, and the nations would flow to Him (see Isaiah 2:1-5). Notice how Isaiah opens with Israel instructing the nations, but the reality is that God&#8217;s holy people, His holy city (Jerusalem) and Judah were in fact being taught by the nations to be unfaithful to God, and to trust in themselves as opposed to trusting in God. Isaiah went to great lengths to describe Jerusalem and Judah&#8217;s pride, going as far as comparing them to prideful women who make men lust for them. Even in the midst of their problems the Lord is still seeking Jerusalem and Judah&#8217;s repentance and turning from their sins. Isaiah continues to describe the state of Judah and Jerusalem saying the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13997\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide2-3.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e9\u05e2\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05d3<br><\/strong>\u05d0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b6\u05d7\u05b1\u05d6\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05d1\u05b7\u05e2 \u05e0\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d3 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05de\u05b9\u05e8 \u05dc\u05b7\u05d7\u05b0\u05de\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05e0\u05b9\u05d0\u05db\u05b5\u05dc \u05d5\u05b0\u05e9\u05b4\u05b9\u05de\u05b0\u05dc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05e0\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1 \u05e8\u05b7\u05e7 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e7\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b1\u05e1\u05b9\u05e3 \u05d7\u05b6\u05e8\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Isaiah.4.1?lang=bi&amp;with=all&amp;lang2=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaiah 4:1<\/a> states, <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, (<\/span><\/em>\u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b6\u05d7\u05b1\u05d6\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05d1\u05b7\u05e2 \u05e0\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d3 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05dc\u05b5\u05d0\u05de\u05b9\u05e8<span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) We will eat our own bread, (<\/span>\u05dc\u05b7\u05d7\u05b0\u05de\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05e0\u05b9\u05d0\u05db\u05b5\u05dc<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) and wear our own apparel: (<\/span><\/em>\u05d5\u05b0\u05e9\u05b4\u05b9\u05de\u05b0\u05dc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05e0\u05b4\u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05bc\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) only let us be called by thy name, to take away our reproach.(<\/span><\/em>\u05e8\u05b7\u05e7 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e7\u05bc\u05b8\u05e8\u05b5\u05d0 \u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05da\u05b8 \u05e2\u05b8\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc \u05d0\u05b1\u05e1\u05b9\u05e3 \u05d7\u05b6\u05e8\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05ea\u05b5\u05e0\u05d5\u05bc<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">)&#8221;<\/span><\/em> According to this verse, a woman\u2019s shame is not being with a man taking on the name of their husband calling the lack of this as being a reproach. We note that when a nation is at war, there is the loss of men, as men are the ones who go to war against foreign nations. For example, American losses in World War I were modest compared to those of other belligerents, with 116,516 deaths and approximately 320,000 sick and wounded of the 4.7 million men who served. The USA lost more personnel to disease (63,114) than to combat (53,402), largely due to the influenza epidemic of 1918. Studying World War 1, notice out of 13 allied countries, over 5 million men lost their lives. There was a total of 42.6 million men who were mobilized for war, which gives 12.2% loss of the male population. That is significant. We note what Isaiah says, \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05b6\u05d7\u05b1\u05d6\u05b4\u05d9\u05e7\u05d5\u05bc \u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05d1\u05b7\u05e2 \u05e0\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05e9\u05c1 \u05d0\u05b6\u05d7\u05b8\u05d3 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">&#8220;And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man,\u201d<\/span><\/em> suggests that the devastation of the loss of men will be seven men to one woman.

We note that today the feminist movement seeks to be dominant and overpowering of men. The misguided aspect of this approach to life follows from what we have been studying here, that this is the desire to be self-sufficient, to not rely and trust in God, but to take pride to the point of denigrating men with an attitude of disposition despising men. In the drive to be self-sufficient, Isaiah warns these attitudes or ways of life bring humiliation, despair, and bondage, as this sets itself up against the joy of submitting to God and to one another with a servant attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e9\u05e2\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05d3<br><\/strong>\u05d1 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4 \u05e6\u05b6\u05de\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05ea \u05dc\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05d8\u05b7\u05ea \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Isaiah.4.2?lang=bi&amp;with=all&amp;lang2=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaiah 4:2<\/a> states, \u201cIn that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, (\u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4 \u05e6\u05b6\u05de\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3) and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely (\u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05ea) for them that are escaped of Israel.

This is the purpose of judgement, followed by God\u2019s redemption, which is illustrative of our being created in His image, we are being told how we are to be like God walking in His holy ways. This was the purpose of God giving us His Torah, so as to be holy as He is holy. (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Leviticus+19%3A2+%2C+22%3A31-33&amp;version=KJV;WLC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vayikra \/ Leviticus 19:2 and 22:31-33<\/a>) We are God\u2019s inheritance, we belong to Him, and we are sanctified by His presence, and so He calls us to sanctify our lives by living for Him. Remember, the Torah was not given so that man could earn his salvation or earn his own form of righteousness and holiness before God! The point of Torah was so we would know what the Lord expects of us as a result of our already being in a covenant relationship, which is synonymous to our being saved. Remember how according to Vayikra \/ Leviticus 10, that the objects of the Tabernacle were not for common use? This is how our lives are to be, we are not to live in such a way as to join ourselves with the nations, like what we see going on here through Isaiah, the people were being taught by the nations. We are to be taught by God for the purpose of glorifying His name! By holiness we are called to reflect the character of God, to be a light to the nations, this comes by the ethical and moral aspects of the Mitzvot (commands) which are to be lived out in a person&#8217;s life to demonstrate how God has worked in our lives. Note also we must have circumcised hearts, something that only God can do, from a Torah perspective! This purging fire as David says burns from within. This is a gift from God, of giving us a desire to live for Him and not for ourselves and for the pleasures of this life. Some questions we have though, is whether this fire that is from within will purify from sin? From Judaism\u2019s perspective, all one has to be is repentant, and to study the Torah, it is as if one has rebuilt the sacrificial system. Would the imagination of the heart to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem be sufficient to atone for sin? Sin must be confessed (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Leviticus+1%3A4%2C+16%3A20%E2%80%9322%2C+Isaiah+53%3A4-5&amp;version=KJV;WLC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vayikra \/ Leviticus 1:4, 16:20\u201322, and Isaiah 53:4-5<\/a>), and it cannot be atoned apart from bloodshed (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Leviticus+16%3A11%E2%80%9319%2C+17%3A11%2C+Isaiah+53%3A12&amp;version=KJV;WLC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vayikra \/ Leviticus 16:11\u201319, 17:11, Isaiah 53:12<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+26%3A28&amp;version=KJV,sblgnt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew 26:28<\/a>). We note from the Messianic perspective, the NT looks to the Messiah, the Anointed one of God, as making atonement for the people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-696x392.png 696w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-1068x601.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3-747x420.png 747w, https:\/\/www.matsati.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Slide7-3.png 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u0717\u0733\u0722\u0730\u0718 \u0715\u0741\u0736\u0721\u071d \u0715\u0741\u0715\u0742\u073a\u071d\u0730\u072c\u0742\u073a\u0729\u073a\u0710 \u071a\u0730\u0715\u0742\u0748\u072c\u0742\u0733\u0710 \u0715\u0741\u0730\u071a\u0720\u0733\u0726\u0742 \u0723\u0730\u0713\u0741\u073a\u071d\u0736\u0710\u0710 \u0721\u0736\u072c\u0742\u0736\u0710\u072b\u0736\u0715\u0742 \u0720\u072b\u073d\u0718\u0712\u0742\u0729\u0733\u0722\u0733\u0710 \u0715\u0741\u0730\u071a\u071b\u0733\u0717\u0736\u0710 \u0700<br>\u05db\u05d1 \u05d4\u05b8\u05e0\u05b7\u05d5 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b5\u05de\u05d9 \u05d3\u05bc\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9\u05b7\u05ea\u05b4\u05e7\u05d0\u05b4 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d3\u05ea\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7\u05dc\u05b8\u05e4 \u05e1\u05b7\u05d2\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05b5\u05d0\u05d0 \u05de\u05b5\u05ea\u05b5\u05d0\u05e9\u05c1\u05b5\u05d3 \u05dc\u05e9\u05c1\u05d5\u05bc\u05d1\u05e7\u05b8\u05e0\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05d7\u05d8\u05b8\u05d4\u05b5\u05d0<br>\u05db\u05d1 \u05db\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d6\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b8\u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d3\u05bc\u05b7\u05dd\u05be\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05d4\u05b7\u05d7\u05b2\u05d3\u05b8\u05e9\u05c1\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d4\u05b7\u05e0\u05bc\u05b4\u05e9\u05c1\u05b0\u05e4\u05bc\u05b8\u05da\u05b0 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05e8\u05b7\u05d1\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd \u05dc\u05b4\u05e1\u05b0\u05dc\u05b4\u05d9\u05d7\u05b7\u05ea \u05d7\u05b2\u05d8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b4\u05d9\u05dd\u05c3<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Matthew 26:28<br><\/strong>26:28 This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.

Note how this is consistent with the NT interpretation and statements from Yeshua. The imagery of the Torah draws in a sense of continuity from the opening pages of the Scriptures until now. This suggests to us that the Lord God does not abandon his covenant made at Sinai as most theologies today declare. The Torah remains as a foundation stone for us who are in Yeshua the Messiah as a guide for moral and ethical living.

Ibn Ezra states this refers to a beautiful spot among the vineyards of Jerusalem. We note that if we consider these words, they may be an abstraction to the altar in the Mishkhan (Tabernacle) and the fat of the sacrifice and the oil. According to the Torah, the fat was regarded with as much sacredness as the blood (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Leviticus+3%3A17+%2C7%3A22-27&amp;version=KJV;WLC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vayikra \/ Leviticus 3:17 and 7:22-27<\/a>). In the Apostolic Writings, <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cfat \u201c<\/span><\/em> is not mentioned once, but <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cblood\u201d<\/span><\/em> continues to be mentioned.

And the fat of the beast that dieth of itself, and the fat of that which is torn with beasts, may be used in any other use: but ye shall in no wise eat of it. For whosoever eateth the fat of the beast, of which men offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, even the soul that eateth it shall be cut off from his people. (KJV)<\/span><\/em> This is a key verse from the Torah to explain these things on the subject of the fat. What exactly does this explain to us? What we are being told is that the Lord God is very serious about not eating the fat, and this verse makes it clear that it is the visceral fat that is being referred to. In addition to this, notice that the fat is not tamei (unclean) like pork and other meats are described according to Parashat Kedoshim. The reason we know this is that the visceral fat may be used to manufacture soap, grease, candles, waterproofing, and quite a few other things which may be used by God\u2019s people. Also, it is interesting to note that the Torah only mentions the fat of oxen, sheep, and goats; it does not mention chicken fat or fish fat. Chicken and fish are completely ignored. This is where the Torah based perspective becomes so valuable as the manner in which we are to understand the Scriptures. This world, and the things in it, are made after the pattern of heavenly things. The author of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Hebrews+8%3A5&amp;version=KJV;SBLGNT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hebrews 8:5<\/a> indicates this through the example of the Tabernacle, sacrifice, and atonement. We also know that we are fashioned in the pattern of God; made in his image. But the world around us is all a part of a master plan; from what the animals represent to how they are made, it is all part of the larger picture. And specifically when we read about those things, God makes an issue such as the fat and the blood being reserved for Him alone, for the altar, and for atonement, this reveals to us that there is a deeper symbolic meaning. Here the oil and the fat are coupled to the one as touching the vineyard of God, and the branch which is most likely in this vineyard is representative of the Messiah. The fat describes the good things of God and as touching the things of God, as Isaiah is saying, as touching the Messiah of God, walking in His footsteps, we receive the blessing from God Almighty in heaven and are doing what the Lord wants for our lives.

These things lead to a perversion of what God calls good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote has-text-align-right is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>\u05e1\u05e4\u05e8 \u05d9\u05e9\u05e2\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e4\u05e8\u05e7 \u05d4<br><\/strong>\u05d7 \u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05d9 \u05de\u05b7\u05d2\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e2\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d1\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05ea \u05e9\u05b8\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b0\u05e9\u05b8\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b7\u05e7\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05d0\u05b6\u05e4\u05b6\u05e1 \u05de\u05b8\u05e7\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05e9\u05c1\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05ea\u05bc\u05b6\u05dd \u05dc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d3\u05bc\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05dd \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05e7\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05d1 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Isaiah.5.8?lang=bi&amp;with=all&amp;lang2=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaiah 5:8<\/a> states, <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cWoe unto them that join house to house, (<\/span><\/em>\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05d9 \u05de\u05b7\u05d2\u05bc\u05b4\u05d9\u05e2\u05b5\u05d9 \u05d1\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05ea \u05d1\u05bc\u05b0\u05d1\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05ea<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) that lay field to field, till there be no place, (<\/span><\/em>\u05e9\u05b8\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b0\u05e9\u05b8\u05b9\u05d3\u05b6\u05d4 \u05d9\u05b7\u05e7\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05d5\u05bc \u05e2\u05b7\u05d3 \u05d0\u05b6\u05e4\u05b6\u05e1 \u05de\u05b8\u05e7\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!

What is the significance of this? This is how the people have learned the way of the nations, to become like them, so that there is no distinction between the sacred and the profane, between the clean and the unclean. This is where wanton behavior and the indulgence in pleasure leads to unrepentant sin. This reminds us of Yeshua\u2019s words when he said, <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cWhat shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses his own soul?\u201d<\/span><\/em> (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Matthew+16%3A26&amp;version=KJV;SBLGNT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Matthew 16:26<\/a>). John Oswalt focuses upon the land as belonging to God and the people were not to parcel out the land as they wished but to keep it within the family \/ tribal ownership. When we take a Torah perspective, these things point us to the removal of the property markers as a way of describing the people mingling with the ways of the nations, and thus the conclusion is the people are no longer holy and separate unto God but are placed alone in the midst of the world.

This is an interesting thought as we see what is going on today in our modern world, this very same thing taking place, the wealthy wanting to control the masses, to take and possess everything, to oppress the poor through laws and forcing people to obey their mandates while the wealthy are exempt from such requirements. This is why the rabbis describe covetousness as a form of idolatry, where one places their wants and desires upon the world, as opposed to the things of God!

will create upon every holy place of the mountain of Zion, and upon the place of the house of His Shekinah a cloud of glory; which shall be shadowing over it by day, and a thick cloud and a brightness as of flaming fire by night; because of the excellency of the glory which He has promised to bring upon it, the Shekinah shall be protecting it with a protection. 4:6 And over Jerusalem shall be a

My people, my beloved Israel, I gave to them an inheritance in a high mountain, in a fat land. 5:2 I sanctified them, and I made them glorious, I propped them up as a precious vine; and I built my sanctuary in the midst of them; and I gave also mine altar to make an atonement for their sins; and I thought that they should do good works before me, but they did evil works. 5:3 The prophet said unto them: They have revolted from the law, and are not willing to return. Now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge now a judgment between me and my people. 5:4 What more good could I have thought to do to them, which I have not done to them? And what is this? I have thought that they should do good; but they have done evil. 5:5 And now, now I will tell you what I will do to my people; I will cause my Shekinah to remove from them, and they shall be for a spoil; I will break down the house of their sanctuary, and they shall be for a treading down. 5:6 I will make them abandoned ones; they shall not be visited, neither shall they be supported; and they shall be cast out and forsaken. I will command the prophets that they do not prophesy to them prophecy. 5:7 For the people of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant. And I thought that they should do judgment, but, behold, they are oppressors; I thought that they should do righteousness, but, behold, they are multiplying sins. 5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house; the field of violence they bring nigh to their fields, saying, Until we possess every place; and they think they shall dwell alone in the midst of the land. 5:9 The prophet said, With mine ears I have heard when this was decreed from before the Lord of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even the great and the fair, without inhabitant. 5:10 Because of the sin of not giving tithes, the place of ten acres of vineyard shall produce one bath; and the place where a cor of seed was sown shall produce three measures. 5:11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, chasing after drink of old wine, delaying to separate; tarrying upon their couches till the dawn of the morning. The wine of oppression inflames them! 5:12 And in their feasts are the harp, and the viol, the cithara, the organ, and the wine: and the law of the Lord they regard not, neither consider the work of His power.

(TgJ)<\/span><\/em> Here we find the rabbinic expectation of the Messiah in the midst of the troubles of Israel. Jewish history is filled with the anticipation of the coming of the Messiah. These things, such as the aramaic translation of the Neviim (Prophets) speak to us as evidence for this from a pre-Chrisitan context. The Talmud Megillah 3a attributes the Targum authorship to Jonathan ben Uzziel, a pupil of Hillel the Elder. According to this source, it was composed by Jonathan ben Uzziel &#8220;from the mouths of Haggai, Zechariah, and Malachi,&#8221; implying that it was based on traditions derived from the last prophets placing the translation in antiquity. Both biblical and apocryphal writings (i.e. the Dead Sea Scrolls) near the turn of the century (BC to AD) led to a remarkable increase in messianic expectation. This is likely due to the Roman oppression of the time. This may have been in preparation for the emergence of God\u2019s Messiah Yeshua, a young rabbi from Nazareth. His teachings and prophetic insights, miracles, and working in the power of God stirred the crowd with much messianic fervor, and provoked his enemies to put him to death (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=John+11%3A45-53&amp;version=KJV;SBLGNT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">John 11:45-53<\/a>). In addition to this, Josephous also makes a record of Yeshua being the Messiah in the context of the period of the Millennium being ushered in. The point is that the targum translation provides for us an expectation of the Messiah which was also coupled to the obedience of God\u2019s people to the Torah of God and of having one\u2019s name written in God\u2019s book of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ibn Ezra states the following concerning <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Isaiah.4.2?lang=bi&amp;with=all&amp;lang2=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaiah 4:2<\/a>, \u05d1 \u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4 \u05e6\u05b6\u05de\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3 \u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05ea \u05dc\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05dc\u05b5\u05d9\u05d8\u05b7\u05ea \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">\u201cIn that day shall the branch of the LORD be beautiful and glorious, (<\/span><\/em>\u05d1\u05bc\u05b7\u05d9\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05dd \u05d4\u05b7\u05d4\u05d5\u05bc\u05d0 \u05d9\u05b4\u05d4\u05b0\u05d9\u05b6\u05d4 \u05e6\u05b6\u05de\u05b7\u05d7 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05dc\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b8\u05d1\u05d5\u05b9\u05d3<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely (<\/span><\/em>\u05d5\u05bc\u05e4\u05b0\u05e8\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d4\u05b8\u05d0\u05b8\u05e8\u05b6\u05e5 \u05dc\u05b0\u05d2\u05b8\u05d0\u05d5\u05b9\u05df \u05d5\u05bc\u05dc\u05b0\u05ea\u05b4\u05e4\u05b0\u05d0\u05b6\u05e8\u05b6\u05ea<em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">) for them that are escaped of Israel.

The temple in Jerusalem, whose doors had been nailed shut by Hezekiah\u2019s own father, was cleaned out and reopened. The Levitical priesthood was reinstated (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/II_Chronicles.29.5?lang=bi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2 Chronicles 29:5<\/a>), and the Passover was reinstituted as a national holiday (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/II_Chronicles.30.1?lang=bi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2 Chronicles 30:1<\/a>).

The Torah is called a Living Torah, as it says (Proverbs 3:18), \u201cIt is a Tree of Life for those who hold fast to it, and all its supporters are happy.\u201d 3. Israel are called Alive, as it says (Deuteronomy 4:41), \u201cAnd you, who cling to the Eternal your God, you are all alive today.\u201d 4. A righteous person is called Life, as it says (Proverbs 11:30), \u201cThe fruit of the righteous is the Tree of Life.\u201d 5. The Garden of Eden is called Living, ([as it says (Psalms 116:9), \u201cI will walk before the Eternal in the land of the living.\u201d 6. One of the trees in the Garden was called the Tree of Life,]) as it says (Genesis 2:9), \u201cand the Tree of Life in the midst of the Garden. 7.

A wise person is called Life, as it says (Proverbs 13:14), \u201cThe Torah of the wise is the source of life.\u201d 10.

The way the rabbis describe these things is quite remarkable. The rabbis always place a positive twist to the Torah commands, and history bares out what happens when God\u2019s people forsake His holy instructions for life. The NT text tells us that the Torah is holy, righteous and good (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+7%3A12&amp;version=KJV;SBLGNT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Romans 7:12<\/a>), but those seeking righteousness based upon the Torah&#8217;s requirements will discover the tragic fact that the Torah is powerless to impart righteousness and life (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=2+Corinthians+3%3A7-18&amp;version=KJV;SBLGNT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2 Corinthians 3:7-18<\/a>) without God&#8217;s help, leading, and empowering through His Spirit and presence in our lives. The righteousness of God is given through faith (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.biblegateway.com\/passage\/?search=Romans+8&amp;version=KJV;SBLGNT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Romans 8<\/a>) and the righteous will live by their faith to obey God\u2019s Word! Note how these things are connected to the Messianic expectation of the Messiah who is sent from God to save His people.

(KJV)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>We note what Paul seems to be saying, the typical interpretation is that man earned his salvation by seeking righteousness and justification before God through the Torah, but now we receive righteousness by the free gift of the Messiah\u2019s righteousness imputed to us through our faith and trust in him. The truth of the matter is that man did not earn his salvation but has always trusted in God for forgiveness of sins according to the scriptures. The Scriptures speak of seeking the righteousness of God by faith, and our living out our faith in our lives as well. The NT text speaks of abiding in the Messiah and of the power of God in our lives by His presence through the Holy Spirit in our lives to overcome sin. The very nature of sin itself based upon the Scriptures is to disobey God\u2019s commands. We note that the call to walk according to the Spirit is given to us throughout the Scriptures, in the Torah it is by the way of the circumcised heart, something only God can do, and in the NT it is by the presence of God through the Holy Spirit. To walk in the Spirit one is not sinning, meaning that one is obeying God\u2019s Word, walking in obedience and not disobedience. All of these concepts must be brought into context in order to understand what Paul was saying. Even though we are not able to be perfect at all times, we occasionally sin, this does not mean that we are to disregard God\u2019s commands. The faith that we have in the Messiah and the righteousness of Yeshua in our lives, this does not mean that we no longer are expected to walk in truth, righteousness, holiness, and justice before God and men.

What is the meaning of the phrase: \u201cAnd over those who are invited to it\u201d? Rabba says that Rabbi Yo\u1e25anan says: Jerusalem of the World-to-Come is not like Jerusalem of this world.

The ancient understanding of the Torah was and remains a function of the covenant relationship. The Torah was given to people who are in a covenant relationship with God, having been given instructions on how to live when we literally have the presence of God dwelling in our midst. Notice the picture that is being put together regarding faith and faithfulness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sefaria.org\/Isaiah.5.1?lang=bi&amp;with=all&amp;lang2=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Isaiah 5:1<\/a>, \u05d0 \u05d0\u05b0\u05de\u05b7\u05e8 \u05e0\u05b0\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d9\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b0\u05e9\u05b7\u05d1\u05b0\u05d7\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4 \u05db\u05b0\u05e2\u05b7\u05df \u05dc\u05b0\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c2\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d3\u05b4\u05de\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9\u05dc \u05d1\u05b0\u05db\u05b7\u05e8\u05de\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d6\u05b7\u05e8\u05e2\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4 \u05d3\u05b0\u05d0\u05b7\u05d1\u05e8\u05b8\u05d4\u05b8\u05dd \u05e8\u05b8\u05d7\u05b0\u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05ea\u05d5\u05bc\u05e9\u05d1\u05b0\u05d7\u05b7\u05ea \u05e8\u05b8\u05d7\u05b0\u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05dc\u05b0\u05db\u05b7\u05e8\u05de\u05b5\u05d9\u05d4 \u05e2\u05b7\u05de\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05c2\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b7\u05d1\u05b4\u05d9\u05ea \u05dc\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05df \u05d0\u05b7\u05d7\u05e1\u05b8\u05e0\u05b8\u05d0 \u05d1\u05b0\u05d8\u05d5\u05bc\u05e8 \u05e8\u05b8\u05dd \u05d1\u05b7\u05d0\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05e2 \u05e9\u05b7\u05de\u05b4\u05d9\u05e0\u05b8\u05d0\u05c3 <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">5:1 The prophet said, Now I will sing unto Israel, who is like unto a vineyard, the seed of Abraham, my beloved, a song of my beloved, concerning his vineyard.

The vineyard represents Adam, for we find in Midrash Aggadah, in many places in Tanhuma, and in Genesis Rabbah [that] these passages are expounded concerning him, e.g., Adam was not expelled from Paradise until he reviled and blasphemed, as it is said: And He hoped to produce grapes,&#8230; (Gen. Rabbah 19:12). And in another place we find: He appointed guards over him that he should not eat from the Tree of Life, as it is said (verse 6): \u201cAnd I will command the clouds&#8230;\u201d (ibid. 21:8). And in this manner, [the following verses] can be expounded concerning him:<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>Rashi on Isaiah 5:7 Part 21<br><\/strong>For the vineyard of the Lord of Hosts is the House of Israel For the House of Israel is to Me like that vineyard; The ten tribes were to Me like a vineyard producing wine, like an olive orchard, in a fat corner, in a fat land, [producing anointing] oil for the priesthood, [anointing] oil for the kingdom, oil for the Menorah, oil for the meal offerings. I fenced them in first with the encirclement of the clouds of glory in the desert and I cleared them of stones, i.e., I cleansed them of the transgressors of the generation.

Rashi draws us back to the Torah with Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit. Their disobedience led to what Rashi says is their reviling of God and blasphemy, which is derived from <em><span style=\"color:#cf2e2e\" class=\"tadv-color\">Genesis Rabbah 19:12<\/span><\/em>. The vineyard description we find the Lord God is tending the garden, such that He removes the stones, he takes care of the land, the trees in the garden (analogized to people) produce fruit and then oil, the Lord fences in (protects) the garden and removes the stones which inhibit growth. All of these things describe the love of God for His people, as working in their lives in their midst. Note how we are seeing this Torah centric principle in action. The question for us today is whether this Torah centric principle is in action in our lives today?

Rabbi Abbahu said: Jerusalem was destroyed only because its citizens intentionally omitted recitation of Shema morning and evening, as it is stated: \u201cWoe to those who rise early in the morning and pursue the drink and are aflame from wine until late in the evening\u201d (Isaiah 5:11). And it is written in the continuation of that passage: \u201cAnd their drinking parties have lyre and lute, drum and flute and wine, and they do not look upon the actions of God, and they do not see His hands\u2019 creations\u201d (Isaiah 5:12). This means that in the morning and evening, when the Jews should have been reciting Shema, they were drinking wine and liquor. And it is written in that passage: \u201cTherefore My nation is being exiled for its ignorance; its honor will die of hunger and its multitudes will be parched with thirst\u201d (Isaiah 5:13).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Note how all of these things draw in the idea that we are to trust in the Lord and how we are to make God\u2019s Word a part of our lives, taking them seriously, and not be disingenuous towards the actions of God in our lives. The idea of becoming drunk is as dulling the senses so that one does not have to even think about honoring God according to His Word. The Talmud speaks of the Shema, as the people&#8217;s coming was due to their lack of recitation of the Shema.

Note that Isaiah is at its core filled with messianic expectation. The book of Isaiah leads us to Him, as the Torah directs us to Messiah as well.
