Welcome to another Memorial Parsha of Jesus Christ. The Memorial Parsha Mattot-Masei is coming to on Saturday, July 10th, 2010, from the book of Numbers 30 through the book of Numbers 36. The Haftorah is Matot Jeremiah 1:1-9 and Jeremiah 2:1-3. The Hatforah for Massei is Jeremiah 2:4-28 and Jeremiah 4:1-2.
COMMENTARY:
Like many (mixed) religions, the Memorial Parsha Pinchas predicates the second coming of Jesus. In the Messianic era the descendants of the twelve tribes that were brought out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage will be leading Evangelist, the 144,000. (Revelations 14:1-5). Although many Jewish people represent a broad spectrum of people throughout the world, of nationalities, tongues, kindred and people. However, the sealed and remaining remnant are the descendants from the Exodus of Egypt, several thousand years later, their descendants will believe in Jesus and will be sealed in his second coming, he is the Shepherd of Israel. Jesus is the Messiah; otherwise your house is desolate. In our last study, the Memorial Pinchas observed the feasts of the LORD, with the sacrificial offerings representing the early church (Ephesians 3:9). However, in the Memorial Parsha of Pinchas the distinction is expounded upon for the peace offerings; the fellowship offerings; the burnt offerings; the sin offerings and the grain offerings.
Jesus is the first begotten son of God, the first fruit of all things of life, you don't have to worry about worshipping the image of the beast. (Revelations 14:7). Jesus is not a beast, he never mislead anyone and you to are a first fruit of God and unto the Lamb Jesus, the son of God. Jesus is the first of the sons of God. If you have patience, then you have a Messiah, like it or not. You will meet the Messiah, and for many of you who rejected him, well, he too will reject you. Ephesians 3:10 - His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, The word of God also says, John 1:16 - From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
Jesus taught that there are stations in my life. At Station 14, Jesus was laid in a tomb and it was sealed only to be removed and he would be proclaimed the risen saviour of the whole wide world. A great victory for Christians and heaven bound believers alike, redemption for the Gentiles. In the Memorial Parsha Mattot-Masei there were many stations in the encampment of the children of Israel while passing through from wilderness to the other: Wilderness Etham; Elim; Sin; Zin (Exodus 16:1); Shur (Exodus 15:22); Paran (Exodus 12:16; Exodus 32:8) and Sinai (Hazaeroth; Numbers 11:25; Numbers 12:16) etc. There are so many more locations that the children of Israel camped throughout the Torah, the Old Testament of the Bible. I sit back and I listened to people talk about their law, but they don't talk about the anointing, the Power of God's Spirit to bring the remnant through. Yes, it might be your time, and you may have just converted into this religion but don't distort the truth and say that the all of the locations that the children of Israel encamped are not aforementioned in the Torah, or were not mentioned in the Torah. As the word of God clearly states, Numbers 33:2, these are the journeys of the children of Israel, which went forth out of the land of Egypt with their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron. Numbers 33:3, And Moses wrote their goings out according to their journeys by the commandment of the LORD: and these are their journeys according to their goings out.
There are many descendants of the children of Israel who actually made the trip and want to be recognized for preservation; the different stations in their life. Had Jesus not prevailed through the seed of David, in the encampment of each of location in Numbers 33, then I don't know where I would be today.
Hold Me. Like The River Jordan. And I Will Then Say To Thee. You Are My Friend
Carry Me. Like You Are My Brother. Love Me Like A Mother. Will You Be There? http://www.lyricsfreak.com/m/michael+jackson/#share
The two most popular stations began for the early when the armies of Israel had traveled by setting out from Ramses, and was delivered from the house of Bondage, in Egypt is sensationalized by the first day after of the Passover. (Exodus 33:3; Exodus 12:37). The next popular encampment is at Mt. Hor when Aaron was commanded of the LORD to die there. Throughout the chapter of Numbers twenty, Miriam dies at the wilderness Zin. (Numbers 20:1). After the water is gone the people rebelled at the waters of Meribah; causing contention in leadership and ultimately with God. (Numbers 20:24).
Anyone who did not participate in the Passover was left behind in Egypt. I believe that day God picked each Israelite gently and carried the children of Israel on eagles wings over the Sea of Reeds (Exodus 14:2,9,22; Exodus 15:22-23; Acts 7:38). The children of Israel left Ramses and pitched int he Wilderness, near Ethan and carried with them the bones of Joseph. In addition, the Wilderness experience is remembered at each Station because the first Passover was observed. Jesus observed the LORD's Passover because the LORD's Passover is the LORD's Law, that may be in your mouth, saying "God brought me out of Egypt." (Numbers 15:39; Deuteronomy 6:8; Exodus 13:9; Numbers 9:9; and Joshua 1:6-7). Nevertheless, the Apostle Paul said the church of God is neither Jew, nor Gentile. The worship and the church of God are the propriety of God, the church of God belongs to God. Jesus is the head of the Church, he died for the Church, you and me - the Church. Apostle Paul again teaches about the Passover to the Gentiles, and passes the Lord's Last Passover. (1st Corinthian 11:23-26).
In Mount Hor, the LORD God commands Aaron to die. Aaron the servant of the Most High God, the God of Israel dies in Mount Hor, after serving the LORD God for forty years, which is after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the first month in 1452 B.C. Aaron, is the first High Priest, and was a hundred twenty-three years old when he died in Mount Hor. Aaron like Moses, shall not enter into the land which is given unto the children of Israel, because he rebelled at the waters of Meribah; the children of Israel tempted the LORD God; and the children of Israel provoked the LORD God, Moses and Aaron - His servants. The charge against Aaron (and Moses) is that he did not sanctify the name of the LORD God. (Numbers 20:24). It is customary to mourn the or thirty days. Nevertheless, the children of Israel provoked the wrath of God. It is very important especially in our walk with God, during our lowest valley experiences and wilderness experiences to be strong and vigilant and don't let anyone cause us to sin and error in God's way. Nevertheless, Moses struck the rock with his rod in Horeb, and water sprang from the rock - this is the same rod he carried in Egypt that split the Red Sea - again in the sight of the elders of Israel. The people drank from the rock, which is a landmark to this day. (Exodus 17:7; Psalm 78:20).
Lastly, in the Memorial Parsha of Mattot-Masei, Moses is commanded to go to Mount Abarim (Numbers 33:47; Numbers 21:11; 27:12; and Deuteronomy 32:49). In chapter 33 in the book of Numbers, a very well known geographical location is given notoriety because the fulfillment of the Abrahamaic Covenant could not be fulfilled until after the first Passover. Here Jesus, is bearing reference to what the Apostle Paul is saying that the anointing belongs to God - proclaiming the Lord's (Lord Jesus') death until he comes. Likewise, Jesus taught that the fulfilment of the Passover is the kingdom of God (Luke 22:16). Therefore, Jesus said to the Jewish disciples, as often as you do this, do it in remembrance to me (Jesus).
To conclude, the children of Israel camped in the plains of Moab, which is near the Jereicho River. Although sanctification through purificaiton of sprinkling of water, the cleaning with water or immersing. John the Baptist baptized in the Jordan River, which is where the children of Israel (Reuben, Dan and the half tribe of Manassah) received their inherited land. The Jordan River is very low, sea level and salty water. (Revelations 14:20). Today, people are still being baptized at the Jordan River, after confessing their faith in Jesus Christ; and confessing their sins. (Matthew 3:6). Throughout the bible, there are many stations full of encouragement, inspired by the children of Israels forty year journey in through the wilderness. Jesus speaks of the Passover fulfilled appropriately he is not talking about Jihads', Right Wing Extremist, Mohajedin's. Jesus wants disciples, martyrs, believers on Him and the Saints.
Revelation 9:13-21 - Now when the sixth trumpet sounds, the four angels at Euphrates River are released. The four angels are released at a precise time, on a given day. The four angels are released a plague to kill a third of mankind. Today there are 8 billion people, and over 2 ½ billion Christians that follow Jesus. So the number of people would double due to HIV/AIDS (Rev. 9:15). However, the mankind that sit on the 200 million man, and that are not killed by plague; the fire, the smoke and the brimstone and did not repent of their sexual immorality. In this manner, there were people who still believed that there Jesus was not the Messiah.
During the Feast of Tabernacles, in Sukkah 55b, the sacrificial offerings represent 70 nations for each of the 70 bullocks offered during the festival. The seventy nations represent the 70 nations that inhabit the earth. At the end of time there will be
DISCIPLES REFERENCES:
1 Corinthians 11:23-34 - 23)For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, (24)and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." (25)In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me." 26For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.
(27) Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. (28)A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. (29) For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself. 30That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep. (31) But if we judged ourselves, we would not come under judgment. (32) When we are judged by the Lord, we are being disciplined so that we will not be condemned with the world. (33) So then, my brothers, when you come together to eat, wait for each other. (34) If anyone is hungry, he should eat at home, so that when you meet together it may not result in judgment. And when I come I will give further directions.
Luke 22:7-31 - [Conversion of the Apostle Peter]
7Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.
8And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.
13And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
16For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
19And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.
20Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
21But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table.
22And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23And they began to enquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing.
24And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors.
26But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
27For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
28Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
29And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: (Luke 22:7-31, King James Version)

2And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. (Matthew 3:1-2, King James Version)
1 Timothy 3:1-7 -
1This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work.
2A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
3Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
4One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
5(For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
6Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
7Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. (1 Timothy 3:1-7, King James Version)
