January 21 2017 Shabbat Torah Readings of Yeshua


“And as Yeshua's custom was,
he went into the synagogue on the Shabbat, and stood up to read.” (Luke 4:16)

Shabbat begins at sundown on Friday and ends at sundown on Saturday. If you had been traveling with Yeshua, every Shabbat you would have gone to a synagogue and listened to selected people read portions of the Torah (Genesis through Deuteronomy), followed by the Haftarah. After the readings, discussions and prayers would have followed.

When the Apostles met to discuss the requirements for Gentiles to become members of the Yeshua Movement, they agreed on minimal requirements because the new members would be going to synagogues every Shabbat:

For Moses has had throughout many generations those who preach him in every city,
being read in the synagogues every Sabbath. (Acts 15:21)

A horseman was stationed far away but within sight of him. If one [of the judges] says, ‘I have something [more] to say in his favor,’ he [the signaler] waves the   sudarin , and the horseman runs and stops them [from stoning him]. Even if [the condemned person] himself says, ‘I have something to say in my favor,’ they bring him back, even four of five times, only provided that there is some substance to...

The Meanings of Blessed of My Father

  When Jesus said, “Come you blessed of my Father,” he was referring the Creator’s blessing of the humans in Genesis 1. It reveals the Creator’s vision of how humans are to live on earth. Sadly, very few people understand who and what they have within them. This wisdom has the power to change lives today – as well as revealing the meaning of the parable of Jesus.

Deuteronomy and the Creation of Messianic Realities
