Deuteronomy ch 26:…..callout to HaShem, your G-D, ” An Aramean tried to destroy my forefather.”….. oh HaShem!”

There is wonderfully so much to unpack in these final verses to close the Bible Study for today. But, I believe that the sum of all my thoughts is to point to the fact… HaShem has conditions for one to be His “treasured people”. Some assume incorrectly that their family name will hold the weight of their violations against Torah. Others believe that their fame or community influence will somehow cause the G-d of justice to overlook their disobedience or harsh and cruel treatment towards another. When the point of the matter is… G-d wants us all to treat everyone and everything with kindness, dignity, and respect. Everything He created is a part of Him and serves Him and His glorious purpose.

Therefore, ignorant hatred towards anyone violates G-d’s commandments as a whole. Having bias and showing favoritism violates G-d’s law of balanced weights and seeking truth and justice.

By the way, the month of Elul is coming up… Some of us should start making that Teshuva now if anything in these Bible Studies of revealing truths has touched anyone’s nefesh.

Devarim: Chapter 8- The Testing is Good and From G-D & Chapter 9- Possess the Land or be Dispossessed

What to expect this lesson?

This lesson we begin the second sermon of  Moses’ of Blessed memory speech to the Nation of Israel before His death and the Nation of Israel carrying on into the Promise Land.  This lesson we will review the portion Deuteronomy (Eikev) Devarim 8 and 9 , with a reading of the Haftarah: Isaiah 49: 14 thru 51:3. The next Portion of the Bible Study will be  Re’ehDeuteronomy 11:26–16:17,Haftarah: Isaiah 54:11 – 55:5 for those who would like to read ahead..

I believe this Bible Studies main concepts are: 1. No Jew can pick or choose among the commandments of Torah.  2. All Blessings of Torah de HaShem are contingent on the full and whole acceptance, and a personal application, and observance of the Torah de HaShem.  3. And, not lastly every word the proceeds from our King’s Mouth is a Lawful order to life, this is what we who love HaShem…. choose, live on, and obey.
