Instructions for the Sabbath and the Tabernacle are linked because they both remove God's people from the world: one in time (Sabbath) and the other in space (Tabernacle). Like the weekly Sabbath, God's Tabernacle was a place set apart from all other places. It restored us to health, happiness, and God's presence, while uniting us as a community.
The commands about the #sabbath and #tabernacle both concern the building of a house: With the Sabbath, we commemorate God building a very big house for us. With the Tabernacle, we build a very small house for God.

I saw an advertisement for a Metaphysical Fair, I see them all the time. They are typically associated with pagans, new age and the like, and usually promoted by a local Metaphysical Shop. They are very popular and there seems to be many places to shop for these peoples spiritual needs. Why is it we do not see this type of involvement from the Hebrew Roots/Messianics? Are we that small of a group we can not do these things? I for one would like to see more unity when it comes to selling and supporting people in the community.
Here's a list of some New Testament scriptures to study with Torah portion #vayakhel ("And He Assembled" Exodus 35:1-38:20 ) at American Torah: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/03/01/parsha-va
The secular science community is constantly changing the explanation of evolution and the beginning of the universe. Millions of years became billions of years, reptiles become birds and now birds came first. The Bible has never changed, it has remained consistent since Moses wrote the first words. The choice should be clear, do we place our faith in an ever changing fairy tale of evolution or the consistent truth revealed in the Bible and confirmed by archeology as even the rocks cry out?

Thought for Today: Sunday March 16
Demonstrate your trust in YHVH by spending some time in His Presence today. Put aside all that is waiting to be done, and refuse to worry about anything. This sacred time with Him will strengthen you and prepare you to face whatever this day will bring. By being with YHVH before your day’s activities, you proclaim the reality of His Presence in you. The act of faith – waiting before working – is noted in the spiritual world, where your demonstration of trust weakens principalities and powers of the darkness. The most effective way to resist evil is to draw near to YHVH Elohiym. When you need to take action, He will guide you clearly through His Spirit and through His Word.
We have been studying the Torah portions with a New Covenant context this year. Today's was remarkable because of the direct parallels between Moses and Yeshua and the real goal of the Gospel. This is a long video, but if you want to learn why we study Torah to understand Yeshua, this one is it. And no need to learn foreign languages or any advanced stuff at all!
