Associate this week's #torah portion to 2 Peter 3. The aftermath of the battle in Numbers 31 appears brutal but was a purification and a separation. The men of war had to be unclean and only re-enter the camp after 7 days of purification, i.e. on the 8th day. The articles of booty had to be purified through the fire as well. This is foreshadowing of how this earth will come to its end, with intense heat. And those at the second resurrection who are found in the book of life will be allowed into the kingdom while those who are not will come to an end. #shabbatshalom
