Mesorah of Mark 143-144

Torah in Time

There is little discussion that the Torah Should be read according to some schedule. And, there are a great number of schedules whereby one could read the Torah. Why do we read the Torah according to any schedule at all? Can we read the Torah any time we want? What happens when we read the Torah according to the Triennial Torah reading cycle?

How does all of the relate to me personally?

This class looks at the Torah in relation to time.

Many of the above questions will be answered in this class.

In this week’s teaching, Ross covers the subject contained in Torah reading Mishpatim along with the special reading for Shabbat Shekalim. He focuses on the idea of freedom and equality for all. What does the Bible mean when it speaks of mishpatim? What does the word mean? In this class Ross shows that according to Scripture, all souls belong to God and the mishpatim define the way of Yehovah and how we are to treat our fellow man. This class will challenge you to consider that the true essence of Torah faith requires a heart for doing right – even to those who do not do right by you. You will not want to miss this teaching.

In this week’s teaching, Ross continues his study of the redemption of Israel from Egypt. He begins by reading from a biblical account of a Passover recorded in II Chronicles and shows that those from some of the tribes were not following the Passover as it was written in the Torah of Moses. He then challenges his listeners with a question; Have we missed the point of Passover by not following what is written? In this week’s class Ross speaks on the prevalent view of the Passover held by most who were introduced to the Festival of Passover through Christian teachings. For Christians, the Passover points to the death of God’s son. Is this the message of Passover? You will be challenged by this teaching but are encouraged to listen and make up your own mind.

In this week’s class Ross shows the connection between the promises to the patriarchs and to the descendants. He begins by covering the “RE” revealing of God to Moses and carefully works through the texts showing that the promises made to and through Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are also for their seed. He focuses on a particular phrase found in this week’s reading where God claims to lift His hand in an oath to the fathers. Building on this, Ross covers the other occurrences of this act and speaks of the promised inheritance. For what purpose does YHVH deliver Israel from Egypt? Several times in this week’s reading YHVH says, “Shalach et ami”. What does this mean and how does it relate to modern day claimants of the distinguished name Israel?

In this week’s class Ross covers the importance of some key names for those through and by whom the great redemption of the book will take place.

In this week’s Torah teaching, Ross shares on the subject of the Patriarchal Plan. He begins by recounting the promises passed from generation to generation. In the Torah and the prophet reading, we read of the passing of Jacob, Joseph and David respectively. But Ross shows that though all of these men went “the way of all the earth”, the plan did not die. It continued to be passed through the ages. The promises still stand. The purpose remains yet unfulfilled. What was the meaning of the plan that was first entrusted to Abraham and what does it mean for us today? You will not want to miss this teaching. A special thanks to Glenn Chatterton for assisting in the study and preparation of this class. His insights were very helpful.
