He lays up the deeps in storehouses. 33:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him. 33:9 For He spoke, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. 33:10 The Lord nullifies the counsel of the nations; He frustrates the plans of the peoples. 33:11 The counsel of the Lord stands forever, The plans of His heart from generation to generation. 33:12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, The people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance. 33:13 The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; 33:14 From His dwelling place He looks out On all the inhabitants of the earth, 33:15 He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works. 33:16 The king is not saved by a mighty army; A warrior is not delivered by great strength. 33:17 A horse is a false hope for victory; Nor does it deliver anyone by its great strength. 33:18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope for His lovingkindness, 33:19 To deliver their soul from death And to keep them alive in famine. 33:20 Our soul waits for the Lord; He is our help and our shield. 33:21 For our heart rejoices in Him,

We know what the Lord desires for us, how we should be living our lives as the children of God. It is interesting though, through the course of speaking with people over the years, a couple questions commonly arise regarding the Torah and how the Lord wants us to live our lives. These questions are interestingly related to the parallel that the rabbis are making between the husband-wife relationship. This may be illustrated using the topic of eating kosher foods and the questions that commonly arise: <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-1\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font CharOverride-6\">Common Questions<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"Numbered-list ParaOverride-11\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">Are Jews using the control over food as a gateway to spirituality?<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"Numbered-list ParaOverride-11\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">If Jesus\u2019 blood makes us clean spiritually, then why do we need to do things to make us clean spiritually?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph-Style-1 ParaOverride-12\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">These are obviously very good questions. Note that no question is a dumb question, the only dumb question is the one that is not asked. Reading the first question shown above leads to quite a few questions: (i) where does the idea come from that the <\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font CharOverride-5\">\u201cJews use food for control and for access to God or heaven?\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> (ii) where does the belief that the Torah command on clean and unclean foods are used as a gateway to spirituality come from? (iii) What is meant by <\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font CharOverride-5\">\u201cgateway to spirituality?\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> According to the Scriptures, in the book of Exodus, Moshe ascended up onto the Mountain of Sinai to receive the Word of the Lord. He then descended and spoke to the people what God had told him. Did Moshe invent the Torah all by himself to control the people? Or, should we believe what the Scriptures say, it is the Lord God Almighty who declared certain creatures as clean and unclean. This was not something that was developed out of Judaism to control the people, the Jewish people did not invent clean and unclean foods, this is a command that comes directly from the mouth of God. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> According to the Bible, the Lord declared certain creatures unclean that we should not eat and certain creatures as clean that we are to eat (see <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Vayikra \/ Leviticus 11<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">). The question that we are presented with is whether today we are held accountable before God for what we eat? Should we keep this commandment found in the Torah today? I am under the opinion that the Torah has not been abolished and in fact the Torah is God\u2019s will for us to live as we strive to walk in the footsteps of Yeshua the Messiah. These instructions were given to us so we could learn the meaning of <\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">\u201cclean and unclean\u201d<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> and of sanctifying ourselves before God on a daily basis. Modern opinion and biblical exegesis by Christian scholars and preachers have stated over and over again that we are not held to this command today. In fact, it is taught that only some commands are relevant and others must be disregarded because of Jesus Christ. Regarding food it is taught that Christ has cleansed all foods (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">Referencing Mark 7<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) in contradiction to the Law of God.

Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mother\u2019s milk. (KJV) <\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">God calls His people to be holy, meaning they are to live set apart and holy lives and this is achieved by making a distinction between what is clean and unclean, this is the meaning of living in righteousness, holiness, and justice. Note also how the verses in Leviticus are worded, the Lord Saved and Redeemed Israel, He brought them up from Egypt and the Scriptures also say that He has made His people Holy. Note how this parallels the Husband-Wife analogy, the husband has chosen his bride and he takes her, sets her apart, and calls her his own. Notice how these things (salvation, redemption, etc) occurred prior to receiving the Torah on the mountain of Sinai. According to the Scriptures, He (God) has already Saved, Redeemed, and made the people holy, He separated and set His people apart for His purposes. As a result of the Lord making His people holy, He calls them and us to live holy lives. Notice what-leads-what! God Saved His people first. Because they were Saved now they are called to live in a particular way. These commands (the Torah) was not meant to be observed so as to earn one\u2019s way into Salvation or achieve some form of spirituality, which is a common misconception of the church today regarding the Law. The commandment on the clean and unclean foods was not something that the Jews developed for control over the people and these things are not commanded for the purpose of being a gateway for spirituality. The command to eat and live in a certain way was for the explicit purpose of separating ourselves as holy unto the Lord, to make a distinction between what is clean and unclean, and to not be like the nations. God tells us that we are to live holy lives and then proceeds to tell us exactly how we are to do that. The idea of what we put into our bodies because we are holy may be interpreted beyond food in the sense that the Lord does care how we nourish our bodies (Food), and this includes spiritual nourishment, what we see (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">i.e. television, pornography, etc<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) and what we listen to (<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\">music, television<\/span><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\">) and the kind of friends we spend time with, etc. These commands concerning what we eat reveals to us how much God loves us by what He has done for us, making us righteous and holy in Christ. The Lord now is asking us to live in righteousness and holiness and tells us exactly how to do so according to the Scriptures. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Basic-Paragraph ParaOverride-2\"><span class=\"Std-Hebrew-English-Greek-Font\"> The rabbis continue saying <\/span><span class=\"Hebrew-verse-text\" lang=\"he-IL\">\u05e9\u05de\u05d7\u05d4 \u05d4\u05d9\u05d0 \u05dc\u05d9 \u05d1\u05d9\u05df \u05de\u05e8\u05e0\u05df \u05d1\u05d9\u05df \u05de\u05e9\u05d1\u05d7, \u05e9\u05e0\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05e8\u05e0\u05d5 \u05dc\u05d9\u05e2\u05e7\u05d1 \u05e9\u05de\u05d7\u05d4 (\u05d9\u05e8\u05de\u05d9\u05d4 \u05dc\u05d0 \u05d5), \u05d5\u05db\u05ea\u05d9\u05d1 \u05e0\u05e4\u05ea \u05ea\u05d8\u05d5\u05e4\u05e0\u05d4 \u05e9\u05e4\u05ea\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9\u05da \u05db\u05dc\u05d4, \u05d4\u05e8\u05d9 \u05d1\u05e9\u05e4\u05ea\u05d5\u05ea\u05d9\u05da, \u05d1\u05dc\u05e9\u05d5\u05e0\u05da \u05d3\u05db\u05ea\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d3\u05d1\u05e9 \u05d5\u05d7\u05dc\u05d1 \u05ea\u05d7\u05ea \u05dc\u05e9\u05d5\u05e0\u05da (\u05e9\u05d4\u05f4\u05e9 \u05e9\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e9\u05d9\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05d3 \u05d9\u05d0), \u05d1\u05d7\u05d9\u05db\u05da \u05d3\u05db\u05ea\u05d9\u05d1 \u05d5\u05d7\u05db\u05da \u05db\u05d9\u05d9\u05df \u05d4\u05d8\u05d5\u05d1 (\u05e9\u05dd \u05e9\u05d9\u05e8 \u05d4\u05e9\u05d9\u05e8\u05d9\u05dd \u05d6 \u05d9), \u05d1\u05d2\u05e8\u05d5\u05e0\u05da \u05d3\u05db\u05ea\u05d9\u05d1 \u05e8\u05d5\u05de\u05de\u05d5\u05ea \u05d0\u05dc \u05d1\u05d2\u05e8\u05d5\u05e0\u05dd (\u05ea\u05d4\u05dc\u05d9\u05dd \u05e7\u05de\u05d8 \u05d5). \u05d4\u05db\u05dc \u05de\u05e8\u05e0\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd, \u05e6\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7\u05d9\u05dd \u05de\u05e8\u05e0\u05e0\u05d9\u05dd, \u05e9\u05e0\u05d0\u05de\u05e8 \u05e8\u05e0\u05e0\u05d5 \u05e6\u05d3\u05d9\u05e7\u05d9\u05dd \u05d1\u05d4\u05f3<\/span><span class=\"Character-Style-1\"> Whether Jacob sings in grief or sings in joy, it is gladness for Me, as it is said Thus says the Lord, When Jacob sings out, it is gladness (Jeremiah 31:7).

When the king came to see the guests, he saw a man who was not dressed in wedding cloths. He asked how did he get in without cloths? The man was speechless and he was thrown outside into outer darkness. The interesting point about the parable Yeshua taught and Midrash Tehillim 33 is on preparing ones self for the wedding. In the one sense, the bride prepares herself for her husband. On the other hand, the guests were to prepare themselves before coming to the wedding feast. It is interesting that we are told about the man who did not have the proper cloths. If the servants had invited the poor from the streets, would it be expected that they would have the proper clothing? If this parable is not literally about the poor taking the expense of buying the proper clothing in preparation, what exactly was Yeshua trying to tell us? We are called to Righteousness and Holiness as the children of God. We are called to dedicate ourselves to the eternal truths of the Scriptures. Yeshua was speaking of clothing ourselves in righteousness and holiness, preparing ourselves by living in righteousness and holiness, putting our faith into action. Yeshua is calling us to live out the ancient truths that, where by His mercy, God has so graciously revealed to us.

Pharaoh began questioning who the Lord was, then following the plagues he acknowledged that he and his people are wicked and the Lord is the righteous one. What is it about tragedy that causes one to recognize they have sinned? We have all done things that we regret. Once we receive the consequences of our bad choices, our mistakes, we can go back and correct them and one way to do so is by recognizing that the choices we have made were bad ones. Pharaoh had deceived himself into thinking that the Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob was someone who he could stand against and live. As a result of the Lord bringing these plagues upon Egypt, Pharaoh recognized his poor choice to disobey God and therefore tragedy may be designed to cause us to take a step back and reevaluate our lives.
