In this week's parashah we read about the last three plagues upon Egypt – locusts, darkness and death of Egypt's firstborn. While the awesomeness of YHVH's miracles and process of deliverance should be forefront in our thoughts, we again must focus what the Ruach is telling those of us who live in these end times.
The knowledge of the next two parashah are among the most well known bible stories of all time. However, the story, mysteries and instructions of YHVH contained in these two accounts are vast and full of the main plot – redemption – and sub plot upon sub plot of repentance instructions, overcoming the deities of the land, characteristics of YHVH, Moses' change, and Israel's separation from YHVH's judgments.
In our study of the Torah, the patterns, shadows, and types give understanding so that we might encourage each other, understand the ways of YHVH and discern their instructions for our day as brought to light by the Holy Spirit. As we consider the parallels between the story of Exodus and our day under the blood covenant of our Messiah, it becomes more and more clear that our "redemption draweth nigh." (Luke 21:28) This tudy reveals the enemies' tactics and YHVH's ways in preparing His called out ones.
Vayechi – And he lived. And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years: so the whole age of Jacob was an hundred forty and seven years. (Genesis 47:28) In this Torah review let us consider the lessons we can learn from the blessings of all the tribes.
