In this weeks reading, from Parashat Va\u2019era (Shemot \/\u00a0 Exodus 6:2-9:35<\/em>), the Lord brings the plagues upon Egypt that leads to Pharaoh letting the Children of Israel go.\u00a0 According to Shemot \/ Exodus 7:5<\/em>, the Lord declares \u05d4\u00a0 \u05d5\u05b0\u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc \u05de\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05e8\u05b7\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05db\u05b4\u05bc\u05d9-\u05d0\u05b2\u05e0\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d9\u05b0\u05d4\u05b9\u05d5\u05b8\u05d4 \u05d1\u05b4\u05bc\u05e0\u05b0\u05d8\u05b9\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d9\u05b8\u05d3\u05b4\u05d9 \u05e2\u05b7\u05dc-\u05de\u05b4\u05e6\u05b0\u05e8\u05b8\u05d9\u05b4\u05dd \u05d5\u05b0\u05d4\u05d5\u05b9\u05e6\u05b5\u05d0\u05ea\u05b4\u05d9 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea-\u05d1\u05b0\u05bc\u05e0\u05b5\u05d9-\u05d9\u05b4\u05e9\u05b0\u05b9\u05e8\u05b8\u05d0\u05b5\u05dc \u05de\u05b4\u05ea\u05bc\u05d5\u05b9\u05db\u05b8\u05dd:<\/span> 7:5 \u2018The Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I stretch out My hand on Egypt and bring out the sons of Israel from their midst.\u2019 (NASB)<\/em>\u00a0 What is the importance of Egypt needing to know that He is God?\u00a0 According to the Scriptures, the Lord revealed Himself to Pharaoh and to Egypt by stretching out His hand against them.\u00a0 What is interesting about the Scripture reading for this week is the mystery in the way the Lord reveals Himself to the world.\u00a0 It seems that the Lord wants to reveal himself but yet he hides himself.\u00a0 Why do you think that is?\u00a0 According to the verse, the Lord will do all of these things so Egypt will know that He is God.\u00a0 How is the Lord revealing Himself to you today?\u00a0 Looking at biblical history, the Lord seems to have hid himself from the Gentile world for hundreds of years, they had no knowledge of the true God, they lived without him in the world, and whose times of ignorance God overlooked (Acts 17:30-31<\/em>), and suffered them to walk in their own ways.\u00a0 In the Scriptures we even read that He is also a God that hides Himself from his own people at times, withdraws his gracious presence, and withholds the communication of his love and grace.\u00a0 In the story of God\u2019s deliverance of Israel, the Lord did not simply appear (show Himself) to Pharaoh, He chose to reveal Himself in a particular way, to weigh heavy upon Egypt, why do you think He chose to reveal Himself in that way?<\/p>\n

Targum Onkelos, Shemot \/ Exodus 7:1-6<\/em><\/strong>
\n But the Lord said to Moshe, See, I have appointed thee a Master (rab) with Pharoh, and Aharon shall be thy interpreter (methurgeman). Thou shalt speak all that I have commanded thee, and Aharon thy brother shall speak with Pharoh to send away the sons of Israel from his land. And I will harden the heart of Pharoh, and will multiply My signs and wonders in the land of Mizraim. But Pharoh will not receive from you; and I will give forth the stroke of My power upon Mizraim, and will bring out My host, My people, the sons of Israel, from the land of Mizraim by great judgments. And the Mizraim shall know that I am the Lord when I uplift the stroke of My power upon Mizraim, and bring forth the sons of Israel from among them. And Moshe and Aharon did as the Lord commanded them, so did they.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In addition to this, Yeshua also kept himself hidden from the people according to the Apostolic gospels.\u00a0 Yeshua only revealed himself to the disciples during the various stages of his ministry.\u00a0 Note that following His resurrection he began with Moshe and the prophets and expounded to His disciples the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures (Luke 24:27<\/em>). These truths seemed to be hidden from them until \u201cHe opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.\u201d<\/em> (Luke 24:45<\/em>)\u00a0 Also note the use of secrecy in Mark\u2019s Gospel; many scholars have attempted to explain Yeshua\u2019s commands to keep silent after performing miracles.\u00a0 Also, take note of the silencing of demons, and Yeshua commands that the disciples are not to make known his identity.\u00a0 Yeshua also spoke in parables (Mark 4:10-12<\/em>) for the purpose of hiding his identity.\u00a0 The concept of the hidden Messiah was well established in Judaism of the first century.\u00a0 As a result, the concepts of the Messiah were projected into the future restoration and salvation of Israel.\u00a0 This hiddenness of God, in rabbinic thought, the Messiah took on the concept of being hidden with God in the sense that He is the One who is waiting for the moment when the Lord will send Him to accomplish Israel\u2019s salvation.\u00a0 According to the Scriptures the exile of Israel and the method of Salvation was predetermined by God (Bereshit \/ Genesis 15:13<\/em>).\u00a0 And so, the hiddenness of the Messiah become a necessity and we learn that this was in fact God\u2019s plan all along to reveal the Messiah at the right time.\u00a0 But what is the purpose of hiding?\u00a0 This question is often asked in many ways and in many contexts.\u00a0 When prayers go unanswered, why is God silent?\u00a0 When suffering or tragedy strikes, why would the Lord allow this to happen?\u00a0 The reason I believe is the Lord seeks to grow our faith.\u00a0 The whole purpose is so that we spend our days examining our lives and seeking and drawing near to Him.\u00a0 Our own sins and disobedience may also hide us from God and keep us from seeing the Lord properly.\u00a0 It is only when we are broken and humbly seeking the Lord by the power of the Holy Spirit in Yeshua\u2019s name that we will see even \u201cgreater things than these\u201d<\/em> and we will see, hear, and find what we are looking for, the Lord God Almighty!\u00a0 BTT_Parashat Va\u2019era2-2013<\/a> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
