When Elyon gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God.
Deuteronomy 32:8
Elyon (the Most High) and El Shaddai (God of the Mountain) are names for God that remind his people that the minor gods of their high places are nothing compared to Him. He is the Highest, the only true God of the Mountain.
The borders of Israel might be set by the number of God's people in relation to the world. Look at the map and remember this: "Narrow is the path and few who find it."

Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is...submitting to one another out of reverence for Christ.
Ephesians 5:17,21 ESV
Mutual submission within the body of Christ *because of Christ in the body*.
If you can't set your ego aside and be a team player once in a while, even when you think there's a better way, then you are creating an autoimmune condition in the body of Christ.
The Bible uses rain as a metaphor for a spectrum of good and evil. A #merism in a single word. At one extreme is drought. At the other is hail and fire. Righteousness and life are right in the middle. Moses prays that his speech will fall like light rain, the perfect good for Israel.
The Song of Moses begins and ends with praise for the God of Heaven. Much like the Lord's Prayer as taught by Yeshua.

UPDATE POST:
It has been almost a year since my last update. There are a few things that have happened or are coming soon and I wanted to do another one.
- I hit 1,000 comics recently! I know I am excited about that fact. You can see the 1,000th comic here: https://thestraightandnarrow.cfw.me/comics/1000
- The new Torah 4 Churchies book is available in paperback or e-book! You can get it here: http://amazon.com/author/straight_n_narrow
- I have been working on the website again. I am hoping to have that up sometime this year.
- Portions Series 2 will be wrapping up with Sukkot. I will have completed the whole Bible at that point. I do not plan on starting another Portions Series at the moment. What I will do is change Fridays to another As The Torah Scrolls comic. Saturdays has been my random Throwback posts. I will change this to a Throwback Portion comic and move the random to Thursdays.
Thank you all for being part of this journey with me. I pray that the comic continues to bless you and yours. May YHWH bless you and keep you. Shalom!
#haazinu, the name of this week's #torah portion (Deuteronomy 32), means "give ear". Here are some corresponding Apostolic passages to study along with related commentary and videos: https://www.americantorah.com/....2021/02/18/parsha-ha
Many Christian denominations teach that Paul writes the law was “done away with”. However understanding the letters attributed to Paul don’t describe abandoning the law, instead the writer is illustrating how to apply the Creator’s instructions to the lives of the people to whom his letters were sent. In 1 Corinthians 5:1 —2 Paul writes about the immorality of incest which directly cross references to Leviticus 18:8, “You must not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; it would dishonor your father.” And Leviticus 18:29, “Therefore anyone who commits any of these abominations must be cut off from among his people.”

YHWH inherited Jacob/Israel as His inheritance. When reading between the lines, this could then be understood that the inheritors of the other nations were their gods in turn. So, all the sons of Elyon were rightfully gods.
That is why Ashera kept coming to the foreground up to the time of the Exile and then after the return polytheism was strictly enforced and all other gods were rejected by the people themselves through Judaism.
Psalm 82 reiterates the fact that there are other gods, but that they can die and will die as men when they are judged. Verses 2-4 says:
"2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked."
Verse 8 then says who will inherit all the nations after the judgement: "Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations."
