Torah People on a Mission for Yeshua

Hebrew Roots, Messianic, Torah-Pursuant...whatever label you want to slap on them, these ministries are doing exactly what so many people say that Torah people won't do. I haven't vetted all of them, so before you get involved, you'll need to do your own research.

Chiasm on God's Faithfulness to the Hebrews in Exodus 2-4

This chiasm was, in part, illustrated in a series of videos by Rabbi Fohrman at Aleph Beta, called "Why Did God Try to Kill Moses"? I don't entirely agree with Rabbi Fohrman's breakout of the chiasm, though. I think a couple of his points are weak and that the chiasm is more detailed in the center than he talked about. Maybe he's aware of that and just simplified it for the video.

One thing we can learn from this is that, like the burning bush that was not consumed by the fire, no matter what afflictions the Hebrews suffer, God will preserve them through it for the sake of his promises to the Patriarchs. 

Chiasm on 40 Years in Deuteronomy 1:1-3

• V1 - The words
• dabar Moshe kol Israel (spoke Moses to all Israel)
• V2 - echad asher yom (eleven days)
• V3 - vayehi b'arba'im (Fortieth Year)
• bashtey asher chodesh (eleventh month)
• dabar Moshe el bnei Israel, k'kol (spoke Moses to the sons of Israel, all...)
• Commandments of YHWH

In Scripture, the number 40 is associated with periods of transformation and preparation for ministry. Moses spent 40 years in Midian preparing for his confrontation with Pharaoh. Israel spent 40 years in the wilderness preparing to occupy the Promised Land. Yeshua spent 40 days int he wilderness preparing for his ministry.

The number 11 is often associated with an apostate Israel, the 12 tribes with one removed because of sin. This is also reflected in the 12 disciples without Judas.

The direct words of God (prophecy), the instruction of Moses concerning those words (teaching), and even disobedience and apostacy (11) in the camp all work together for the transformation of the Hebrew people into who God needs them to be in order to take the Promised Land from the Canaanites (40). This is a pattern for us. We shouldn't seek out sin and heresy, but we do need to acknowledge that conflict within our communities and being forced to deal with sin and heresy is a big part of our journey to becoming the people God needs us to be.
