Zechariah 12. 8-14( MCM Translation)
When that day comes, YHVH will defend those living in Yerushalayim.
On that day, even someone who stumbles will be like Dovid
and the house of Dovid will be like YHVH, like the angel(malak)
of YHVH before them.
VS 9. “when that prophecy reveals itself,
I will seek to destroy all nations attacking Yerushalayim;
VS 10.and i will pour out on the bayit of Dovid and on those living in Yerushalayim
A ruach of grace and power and they will look to me(Yeshua Ben YHVH) whom they pierced. “
They will mourn for him(The Prophecied Yeshua) as one mourns for an only son( Only Begotten Son)
( Prophecy of Yeshua's Death& Resurrection) they will be in bitterness on his behalf like the bitterness for a firstborn son(Yeshua)
Vs 11. When that day comes, there will be great mourning like that for Hadad- Rimmon in the Megiddo valley(Armageddon at the last conflict)
Vs 12. Then the land will mourn, each family by itself, the family of the bayit of Dovid by itself and their wives by themselves. The family of the house of Natan(Nathan) by itself and their wives by themselves
Vs 13.The family of the house of Levi by itself and their wives by themselves;
the family of the Shim'i(Shimei), and their wives apart by themselves
Vs 14.All the remaining families, each by itself and their wives by themselves
The Kingdomship of Jerusalem rest in the hands of Yeshua and his final sacrifice, of course people seem to have there own interpretation of the scripture or excluding Yeshua out of the picture completely, I know no other whom they pierced, that is mourned for as a son, it is clearly a messianic picture of Yeshua to come and his sacrifice and him coming through the linage of David to restore Israel to himself as the only Moshiach and it centers the Torah story around the Brit Chadasha apparently, I think it will help us uncover our lesson for the day in reference to Halakha and what's important about observing Halakha- Yeshua observed Halakha further more he taught these same precepts with a Messianic revisions.
Messianic Halakha comes from the Hebrew word to mean: To walk, it is a term for rules and rulings that govern jewish life. In this lesson we will cover of the 25- Messianic Halakha listings, we will cover the Halakha importance of Aveinu which is also spelled Avinu- which means in Hebrew = Our Father
as in Aveinu Avraham, Avraham our father, Yeshua begin his Tefillah in Matthew 6.9 with the opening words Avinu Shebashamayim -Our father who is in heaven, not our father in Ha'eretz. So then i believe personally Yeshua made revisions to the ancient davenings that seemed to worship men and Yeshua took the focus off of Avos and on Abba, so then we account Avinu but the focus is on Yah, so then Yeshua says and we will cover this more in a moment, Avinu Shebashamayim. Our father who is in heaven, recognition immediately went to the father and Yeshua himself took no glory for himself or to himself, but to the father only and the father glorified the son.
Avinus purpose is to honor YHVH, not Avraham, to honor Yeshua Ha'Mashiach not mortal men as many Rabbis assume, Avinu fulfills mitzvot by serving to obey Yah: Avinu Malkeinu -our father, not fathers - but our father, our king, We gain the two first words Alef, Vet- the word Av of Avinu it's first two words means Father, This lesson will point us to Avinu YHVH, Avinu Yeshua and not to any Aveinu Eliyl Adam which means Father Idol man, I will show you a reference momentarily how the rabbis use Aveinu to not only exonerate Moshe, Avraham, but also the dead!!! past Rabbis- whom they lift up past and above Yeshua.
The Amidah points us to Moshiach Ben Yosef Shel Netzaret , when his Talmidim asked him to teach them how to pray, they wanted to know what was Yeshua's prayer at the conclusion of
Amidah, Shimonei Esrei (18 Benediction) The prayer Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father, Our King) is recited after the Amidah (The main prayer, said while standing ) and before the Torah service, It is recited throughout the ten days of Teshuvah from Rosh Hashanah through Yom Kippur as well as on fast days, so then Avinu Malkeinu is recited during- Shacharit(morning prayers) Mincha(noon prayers) Maariv (evening prayers) and Ne'ila except when Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat, Ne'ila is the concluding service which is held only on Yom Kippur, which is a time when final prayers of Teshuvah are recited at the close of Yom Kippur, Ne'ila consist of Ashrei (which is postponed from Mincha when it is normally recited)
Amidah, Selichot and Avinu Malkeinu, The Shofar is blown at the end of Ne'ila.
This Avinu Malkeinu is also called U'vini Mal'kieni: So then we are literally literally saying much more than just our father, our king- we are saying our father, our king- open the gates, the entrance of heaven to our prayers.
Avinu Malkeinu is inside the T'filat Ha'Talmidim but within itself the avinu malkeinu which is said as a song in Jerusalem, the lyrics are:
Avinu Malkenu, Sh'ma Kolenu
Avinu Malkenu, Chatanu L'faneicha
Avinu Malkenu, Chamol Aleinu V'al Olaleinu V'tapenu
Avinu Malkenu, Kalehdever V'Cherev V'raav Mealeynu
Avinu Malkenu, Kaleh Chal Tzar Umas'tin Mealeinu
Avinu Malkenu, Avinu Malkenu, Kat' venu B'sefer Chayim Tovim
Avinu Malkenu, Chadesh Aleinu, Chadesh Aleinu, Shauah Tovah
Sh'ma Kolenu, Sh'ma Kolenu, Sh'ma Kolenu: Avinu
Avinu Malkenu, Avinu Malkenu, Chadesh Alienu, Shanah Tova
Avinu Malkenu, Sh'ma Kolenu, Sh'ma Kolenu, Sh'ma Kolenu, Sh'ma Kolenu
which means:
Our father, Our King! Hear our voice.
Our father, Our King! We have sinned before you.
Our Father, Our King! Have compassion for us and for our children and our infants.
Our Father, Our King! Of pestilence, and sword, and famine rid us.
Our Father, Our King! Inscribe us in the book of good life.
Our Father, Our King! Anew for us, Anew for us a good year.
Hear our voice, Hear our voice, Hear our voice
Our Father, Our King! Our Father, Our King: Anew for us as good year
Our Father, Our King! Hear our voice, Hear our voice, Hear our voice:
{ If you find the music arrangement let me know, I could not find it}
See how the words express Tefillah, Teshuvah& Davening!
Avraham Avinu- Emulating the Avos(sages)
~ Yes or No ~
The Chazel-Which is an acronym for the Hebrew word being and meaning:
Cha'Chameninu Zichronam Livracha- literally “our sages of blessed memory”
Chazel teaches “ one is obligated to say' when will my deeds( daber,ma'aseh-word, matter,action, labor) reach the deeds of my forefathers- Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov!
We are obligated to strive for greatness and not be complacent(Sounds good huh!not good enough) in this endeavor. Therefore we aspire to emulate the superlative examples set forth by the Avos(Says the Rabbis) at least that's the basis of Aveinu according to the Rabbis, to emulate the Avos, the Avos is not just honoring Avraham, Yitzchak and Ya'akov it is also emulating prior Rabbis, some do so to the point of wearing a Tefillin in front of there prior Rabbi's picture(Idol Worship) honor and worship do not mean the same thing, understand please! To honor prior rabbis and deny Yeshua is just plain stupid, Yeshua came before the forefathers of Judaism, in fact himself and YHVH are the forefathers of Judaism, If Yah did not go to Avraham, then Avraham would have stayed among the Idol worshippers,
Who brought us the Torah 1. Moshe 2. YHVH? [ I'm waiting for your answer]
One might ask, why don't we try to model ourselves after the great leaders of our times or of the past generation? For example The Chafetz Chaim? The answer given is that it is not enough to try to emulate great people, our yearning should be to reach the level of the greatest of the great. That is for us to emulate Yeshua
Your Rabbis lift up Rishonim- like Rashi, Tanaim, Amara'im and such explanations of past rabbis such as Rabbi Judah Ben Solomon Al-Harizi, Rabbi David Kimchi-Radak,Rabbi Judah HaChassid, Rambam( Maimonides) Rabbi Abraham Ben David Etc. but wore these great men even greater than Moshe, Torah says: There will never be another prophet like Moshe(or to reach Moshe's stature) Moshe was the greatest Navi there ever was- is that true? I think not and i think yes, let me explain, that was based on Exodus 34.10 but in Ibrim- Hebrews 3.1-6 states in verse 2. through 6.
2.He(Moshe) was faithful to YHVH, who appointed him, just as Moshe was faithful in all YHVH'S Bayit(House)
3. But Yeshua deserves more honor than Moshe. Just as the builder of the house deserves more honour than the house.
4.For every house is built by someone, but the one who built everything is YHVH.
5.Also, Moshe was faithful in all YHVH'S house, as a servant giving witness to hings's YHVH would divulge later.
6.But the Moshiach, as Ben(Son) was faithful over YHVH'S house. And we are that house of his(Yeshua) provided we hold firmly to the courage and confidence inspired by what we hope for. ______________________________________
So then in Dvarim 34 - to- Hebrew 3.- Moshe was the greatest prophet up to Yeshua, till Yeshua came! No man has ever become over Yeshua nor equal to him, He is the only Moshiach.
So then Moshe until Yeshua became the source of Avot, since Yeshua has come, man obeys Torah, Tanakh and Brit Chadasha through obedience to YHVH through Yeshua, but Yeshua is he who we emulate.
We are not discrediting moshe as a great servant under Yeshua, of the thirteen principals of faith by Rambam, Moshe is called: The Servant of Hashem, Moshe was greater than all prior Avos till Yeshua- But he was also more advances in character development over all the Rabbis of his day, according to tradition Avraham surpassed the most of the trait of Anava- humility. The Gemara states that while Avraham regarded himself as “Afar V'eifer” dirt and ashes, but Moshe and Aharon said “V'nachnu ma” what are we? Even thou Avraham was extremely humble, nevertheless he considered himself to be dirt and ashes - which is still tangible, Moshe and Aharon went even further, they did not consider themselves to be anything at all, The Torah testifies to the fact by exclamating “ And the man Moshe was very humble, more than any man on the face of the earth.
Why then are we not obligated to use Moshe Rabbeinu as our sole role model?
This same Rabbinical Theological Talmudic thought can be seen in the story of Yeshua's teaching where we find in the Brit Chadasha in Matthew 18.1 about this concept of Avos, of honoring men, or the variance of Idolizing men to the decree of making them into humanistic gods- Yeshua responds with this whole whose the greatest situation by stating- The greatest is a Na'ar (Servant) who comes as a Yeladim (Child, Little Children) the Talmidim was obviously looking for glory for themselves like the many Rabbis of today, But one more example of Yeshua showing that not only should he be honored above Moshe, but also over Avraham- Yochanan(John) chapter 8. verse 58 which states:
Yeshua said to them, yes indeed!Before Avraham came into being, I(Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh- same as in Exodus 3.14 Yud, Heh, Vav, Heh- Yeshua is saying this very phrase by stating himself in YHVH as Ben Yachid. Yeshua says I AM the same Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh reference, did you no that? Which now expresses that Echad- plurality of himself and his abba being echad(One) and he stands in the stead of Abba, and Abba reveals Yeshua.
