FROM THIS WEEK’S TORAH PORTION – NITZAVYM:
“And not with you alone I am making this covenant and this oath, but with him who stands here with us today before YHWH our Elohim, as well as with him who is not here with us today. For you know how we dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim and how we passed through the nations which you passed through, and you saw their abominations and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were with them, lest there should be among you a man or woman or clan or tribe, whose heart turns away today from YHWH our Elohim, to go and serve the mighty ones of these nations, lest there should be among you a root bearing bitterness or wormwood. And it shall be, when he hears the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, ‘I have peace though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart,’ in order to add drunkenness to thirst. YHWH would not forgive him, but rather, the displeasure of YHWH and His jealousy shall burn against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall settle on him, and YHWH shall blot out his name from under the heavens. And YHWH shall separate him for evil, out of all the tribes of Yisra’el, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Torah. And the generation to come of your children who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a far land, shall say when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which YHWH has sent into it: ‘All its land is sulphur, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it bear, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sedom and Amorah, Admah and Tsevoyim, which YHWH overthrew in His displeasure and His wrath.’ And all nations shall say, ‘Why has YHWH done so to this land? What does the heat of this great displeasure mean?’ And it shall be said, ‘Because they have forsaken the covenant of YHWH Elohim of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Mitsrayim. And they went and served other mighty ones and bowed themselves to them, mighty ones that they did not know and that He had not given to them, therefore the displeasure of YHWH burned against this land, to bring on it every curse that is written in this book. And YHWH uprooted them from their land in displeasure, and in wrath, and in great rage, and cast them into another land, as it is today.’”
You will fail, but it will be OK in the end if you trust in God.
Studying and living Torah helps a person to develop a better understanding of God's character.

The secret things belong to YHVH our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Deuteronomy 29:29
The revealed and hidden can be interpreted several ways. Here are some, but you may be able to think of more:
🔹Deal with those sins that are committed in public. Let God deal with those that are committed in secret.
🔹Obey God's commands, even if you don't understand them.
🔹Don't mess with spirits, astrology, and other forbidden sources of corrupted knowledge.
🔹Those who have forgotten their identity as Israel are still known to God. He knows who you are, and he will find you.

Torah Pearls #49 – Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19)
In this episode of The Original Torah Pearls, Ki Teitzei (Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19), an uninformed reading of the archaic civil and domestic laws in this portion might leave one scratching the head, but the trio deftly removes cultural and language barriers so that the principles behind these pearls can be applied to the modern age. Discussions reveal what is at the heart of: Torah fashion statements, plowing with a donkey and an ox, installing parapets and taking millstones. Ki Teitzei underscores that the Torah is for all people, for all time—as its laws not only remedied ancient Canaanite traditions but also reached ahead to 20th century America when women’s rights finally began to get with the program. The portion concludes with the mind-bender of remembering to forget—and a reminder from Gordon that it’s a curse to have one’s name blotted out.
Prophet Pearls #49 – Ki Teitzei (Isaiah 54:1-54:10) Revel in the glorious promises to Israel, explore the various ways the Tanakh allegorizes her, and stand firmly on common ground concerning the messianic promise as Yehovah connects his eternal covenant with Israel to the seed of David. #isaiah --> https://www.nehemiaswall.com/p....rophet-pearls-ki-tei
