In this week\u2019s Torah portion, Parashat Shemot, we read that a new king raised up in Egypt and placed Israel into slavery being afraid because of Her large numbers.\u00a0 We also read how the Lord raised up a deliverer, one who will take Israel out of bondage and slavery.\u00a0 Based upon this week\u2019s reading, and upon the deliverer \/ redeemer narratives, we are given the themes of sin and redemption coupled to God\u2019s Torah as a way of life.\u00a0 The Lord God told His people in relation to the Mitzvot saying, Bamidbar \/ Numbers 32:23<\/span><\/em> \u05d5\u05b0\u05d0\u05b4\u05dd\u05be\u05dc\u05b9\u05a4\u05d0 \u05ea\u05b7\u05e2\u05b2\u05e9\u05c2\u05d5\u05bc\u05df\u0599 \u05db\u05bc\u05b5\u0594\u05df \u05d4\u05b4\u05e0\u05bc\u05b5\u05a5\u05d4 \u05d7\u05b2\u05d8\u05b8\u05d0\u05ea\u05b6\u0596\u05dd \u05dc\u05b7\u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05b8\u0591\u05d4 \u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc\u0599 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b7\u05d0\u05ea\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u0594\u05dd \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05a5\u05e8 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u0596\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05bd\u05dd\u05c3 But if you do not do so, you will have sinned against the LORD; and know that your sin will find you. (NASB)<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 This phrase \u201cand know that your sin will find you\u201d (\u05d5\u05bc\u05d3\u05b0\u05e2\u05d5\u05bc\u0599 \u05d7\u05b7\u05d8\u05bc\u05b7\u05d0\u05ea\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u0594\u05dd \u05d0\u05b2\u05e9\u05c1\u05b6\u05a5\u05e8 \u05ea\u05bc\u05b4\u05de\u05b0\u05e6\u05b8\u0596\u05d0 \u05d0\u05b6\u05ea\u05b0\u05db\u05b6\u05bd\u05dd) is one of the most important and misunderstood statements in all God\u2019s Word.\u00a0 Here Moshe is speaking of one particular aspect of sin, that of having a stubborn heart coupled with a refusal to wholly follow the Lord!\u00a0 There are many sins that go unexposed here on earth and will be revealed only at the Judgment (Luke 12:3, Matthew 10:27<\/span><\/em>). Rambam on Bereshit \/ Genesis 1:1 Part 1<\/span><\/em> sates the following, \u201cthe story of the whole topic of creation until the creation of Adam, and that He made him ruler over the work of His hands and all that was given over beneath his feet, and the Garden of Eden – which is the best of all the places created in this world – became established for his dwelling, until his sin drove him from there. And the people of the generation of the Deluge, by their sin were driven from the entire world, and the righteous one among them alone was spared, him and his sons. And their descendants, their sin caused them to be scattered in places and planted in lands, and they captured for themselves the places according to their families among their peoples, as the opportunities arose to them. If so, it is appropriate that when a people continues to sin, it will be destroyed from its place and another people will inherit his land, for this is the law of God in the world from always.\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 In relation to what Rambam is saying, the peoples were dispersed across the face of the earth due to their sin, unfaithfulness, and rebellion against wholly following in the ways of God.\u00a0 Those who do these things are condemned in the midst of a righteous, holy, and just God.\u00a0 This condemnation will be known by all peoples because these wicked men were known by the extent of their wickedness and sin.\u00a0 All will know the reasons why the sinner is eternally condemned.\u00a0 This is the source text for the Apostle Paul\u2019s interpretation saying, \u201cIn the day when God shall judge the secrets of man by Jesus Christ according to my gospel\u201d<\/span><\/em> (Romans 2:16<\/span><\/em>, \u1f10\u03bd \u1f21\u03bc\u1f73\u03c1\u1fb3 \u1f45\u03c4\u03b5 \u03ba\u03c1\u1f77\u03bd\u03b5\u03b9 \u1f41 \u03b8\u03b5\u1f78\u03c2 \u03c4\u1f70 \u03ba\u03c1\u03c5\u03c0\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c4\u1ff6\u03bd \u1f00\u03bd\u03b8\u03c1\u1f7d\u03c0\u03c9\u03bd \u03ba\u03b1\u03c4\u1f70 \u03c4\u1f78 \u03b5\u1f50\u03b1\u03b3\u03b3\u1f73\u03bb\u03b9\u1f79\u03bd \u03bc\u03bf\u03c5 \u03b4\u03b9\u1f70 \u03a7\u03c1\u03b9\u03c3\u03c4\u03bf\u1fe6 \u1f38\u03b7\u03c3\u03bf\u1fe6.). The Greek word used here \u03ba\u03c1\u03c5\u03c0\u03c4\u1f70 (krupta) for secrets is defined as, \u201cthat which is hidden, concealed, or covered up.\u201d<\/span><\/em>\u00a0 For example, the one who looks at pornography may hide his sin until caught, or as in the case for the adulterer, until judgment day.\u00a0 The thief may cover up his crimes and may not get caught in this life, and the wicked heart or evil thoughts may remain unexposed before men.\u00a0 Even hypocrisy may be hidden for years under a pretense of piety.\u00a0 But as it is described in Bamidbar \/ Numbers 32:23<\/span><\/em> the sin of halfheartedness will always find you out here and now because the Lord God of Israel is watching!\u00a0 This pretense of \u201chalfheartedness\u201d<\/span><\/em> is found under the idea that one has not been found out yet.\u00a0 The important \u201cTorah context\u201d<\/span><\/em> in relation to these things from Parashat Shemot, is that Moshe also had this pretense believing his sins had not found him out.\u00a0 When Moshe killed the Egyptian, he thought nobody was watching.\u00a0 The Lord God of Israel however was watching, He was present.\u00a0 We learn that his sin did find him out and someone was watching.\u00a0 When Moshe was tending his flock on the Mountain of the Lord, again he did not realize the Lord was present until the Lord revealed Himself.\u00a0 The point is regardless of whether someone else sees our sins, \u201cbe sure that your sins will find you out,\u201d<\/span><\/em> because the Lord is watching!\u00a0 This should lead us to live a repentant lifestyle coupled to our faith in Yeshua the Messiah!\u00a0 Let\u2019s discuss this further in this week\u2019s study.<\/p>\n This week we are looking at Shemot \/ Exodus

Did the people in the region know this to be the mountain of the Lord or was this a result of Moshe having met the Lord and brought Israel to the foot of the mountain?\u00a0 In Shemot \/ Exodus 3:10, this is where the Lord called Moshe to deliver His people, He called him into the ministry.\u00a0 The Lord called Moshe to bring His Gospel Message to the people of Israel and to the world.\u00a0 With these things in mind, how should this cause us to live since our bodies are His Temple?\u00a0 Note how the Lord speaks to sons of Israel in Shemot \/ Exodus 25:1-8<\/span><\/em> to raise a Terumah

Eastern Europe)- Commentary on Exodus 25:8<\/span><\/em><\/strong> The rabbis say that this commandment of God to construct the Tabernacle is for our benefit.\u00a0 How so?\u00a0 So that we could train ourselves to offer prayers, to bring sacrifices, and to be thankful with the sacrifice of praise before the Lord.\u00a0 In the Targum on Tehillim \/ Psalms 50, David says that the Lord does not take bulls out of their flocks because he owns the cattle on a thousand mountains, He does not require sacrifices because He is hungry (50:8-13<\/span><\/em>) as compared to the rabbis translation into the Aramaic Targum that speaks of the Lord not rebuking his people because they were unable to offer sacrifices due to the sanctuary being laid waste on the Temple Mount.\u00a0 This describes living in obedience to the word of the Lord with respect to what we are able to do within the context of our bodies being the Temple of the God of Israel.\u00a0 These comments go to show that we are called to obedience, and to have a high regard for God\u2019s word in our lives as a sacrifice unto the Lord, similar to what Paul wrote in Romans 12:1-3<\/span><\/em>, because these things direct us to God\u2019s will and plan which was to bring His Messiah Yeshua into this world for the purpose of salvation from sin.\u00a0 Should we not be dilligent in seeking the Lord and waiting for Him to reveal his plan for our lives, and to seek how He will use us in His kingdom?\u00a0 This also provides us with a future expectation for our lives of the Lord\u2019s work in our lives.\u00a0 We must be read at all times for a move of God in our lives.\u00a0 This reminds us of something Yeshua said in Matthew 24:44<\/span><\/em>.\u00a0 He said that we must be ready at all times, for the Son of Man will come when we least expect. Therefore also be ready, for in an hour that you do not expect, the Son of Man.\u00a0 We are warned to be always watching and prepared for the work of the Lord an that we are to maintain this temperment of mind.<\/p>\n Matthew 24:44<\/span><\/em><\/strong> Why does the Lord warn us to be read and of the Son of Man coming at an hour that is unexpected?\u00a0 Matthew said, \u03b4\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c4\u03bf saying \u201cin order that,\u201d as regards to our being similar to the householder spoken of in the parable (see Matthew 2<\/span><\/em>4), where we might be caught doing something we should not be doing.\u00a0 This is paralleled to the theif who comes to steal.\u00a0 Yeshua said. \u03ba\u03b1\u03b9 \u03c5\u03bc\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2, that if the householder had known he would have been ready had he kept watched.\u00a0 Yeshua\u2019s use of the word \u201cetoimoi\u201d<\/span><\/em> \u03b5\u03c4\u03bf\u03b9\u03bc\u03bf\u03b9 speaks of having a spiritual readiness for the move of God so that it would not take us by surprise (see Matthew 25:10, Titus 3:1<\/span><\/em>).\u00a0 This preparedness is something to be acquired for ourselves (\u03b3\u03b9\u03bd\u03b5\u03c3\u03b8\u03b5), we are to work at patiently waiting upon the Lord and be slow to take matters into our own hands as Moshe did according to Parashat Shemot.<\/p>\n In Parashat Shemot, we get this pretense of \u201chalfheartedness\u201d<\/span> <\/em>and \u201cunpreparedness\u201d<\/span><\/em> that is found under the idea that one is getting away with sin.\u00a0 The important \u201cTorah context\u201d in relation to these things from Parashat Shemot, is that the great men of faith, such as Moshe, he too had this pretense believing his sins had not found him out.\u00a0 When Moshe killed the Egyptian, he thought nobody was watching.\u00a0 The Lord God of Israel however was watching, He was present.\u00a0 We learn that his sin did find him out and someone was watching.\u00a0 When Moshe was tending his flock on the Mountain of the Lord, again he did not realize the Lord was present until the Lord revealed Himself.\u00a0 The point is regardless of whether someone else sees our sins, \u201cbe sure that your sins will find you out,<\/span><\/em>\u201d because the Lord is watching!\u00a0 The point of sin finding us out that is coupled to the Torah context is that of our need for a deliverer and savior.\u00a0 The Torah draws us back to repentance, to return to the ways of God in righteousness, holiness, justice, and truth.\u00a0 This is the point of the Torah in our lives, to draw us back to the Lord God of Israel, to direct us to His Messiah Yeshua, to have faith in the mercy of God, and to seek the Lord\u2019s ability to create in us a new heart and desire to walk in His ways of righteousness, Justice, and Truth.\u00a0 The Messiah plus the Torah is the gospel message!<\/p>\n
\n 2:10 The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh\u2019s daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, \u2018Because I drew him out of the water.\u2019<\/span><\/em>
\n 2:11 Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren. 2:12 So he looked this way and that, and when he saw there was no one around, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 2:13 He went out the next day, and behold, two Hebrews were fighting with each other; and he said to the offender, \u2018Why are you striking your companion?\u2019 2:14 But he said, \u2018Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?\u2019 Then Moses was afraid and said, \u2018Surely the matter has become known.\u2019 2:15 When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well. (NASB)<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\n 3:1 Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 3:2 The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed. 3:3 So Moses said, \u2018I must turn aside now and see this marvelous sight, why the bush is not burned up.\u2019 3:4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to look, God called to him from the midst of the bush and said, \u2018Moses, Moses!\u2019 And he said, \u2018Here I am.\u2019 3:5 Then He said, \u2018Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.\u2019 3:6 He said also, \u2018I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.\u2019 Then Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 3:7 The Lord said, \u2018I have surely seen the affliction of My people who are in Egypt, and have given heed to their cry because of their taskmasters, for I am aware of their sufferings.

\n Know, my child, that any commandment that God requires of humankind comes only out of God\u2019s desire to benefit us… God\u2019s command to build the Tabernacle, for us to offer therein our prayers and sacrifices, comes not out of God\u2019s needs to dwell in an earthly dwelling among humankind, but rather [out of God\u2019s awareness that we need] train our own selves.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n
\n …Each one of us needs to build God a Tabernacle in the recesses of our hearts, by preparing oneself to become a Sanctuary for God and a place for the dwelling of God\u2019s glory.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
