A weekly Torah portion commentary will be posted on this website along with a forum that will allow me to address questions, and discussions as related to the Messianic Movement.
So to get things moving forward, go ahead and sign up to my blog, and don't be a lurker (a person who follow blogs and never participates). In the near future, there will be great audio and video contents that will be added to this website.
Signing up, and getting auto feeds is a great way to get the lessons straight into your inbox.
I want to stop for a moment and explain the meaning to the word ברוך (Baruch) in Hebrew as my first blog entry. In many cases we feel that the meaning of the word ברוך comes from the word ברכה which means "blessings" as we are blessing his name. However, the root letters are "Bet-Reysh-Chaf" which come from the hebrew word ברך actually means "knee".
In principle, the idea of "blessings" Hashem comes directly from the idea of kneeling in front of him and submitting our lives to him. When we say "Baruch Haba" we should mean, "our homes are first of all your home". Firstly we submitting our household to him which is the idea of Bikorim (first fruits). When Yeshua stated:
"...For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, 'Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord...."
38 הִנֵּה בֵיתְכֶם יֵעָזֵב לָכֶם שָׁמֵם׃ 39 כִּי אֲנִי אֹמֵר לָכֶם מֵעַתָּה לֹא תִרְאוּנִי עַד אֲשֶׁר תֹּאמְרוּ בָּרוּך הַבָּא בְּשֵׁם־יְהוָֹה׃
Yeshua stating that Israel will not see him as they will stop sharing their "house" with other "Adonim" or lords, until they say "Baruch" which mean submitting to him as part of Hashem without compromising Adonai.
What about you? Are you submitting your household to Hashem by saying "Baruch Haba"? May we all learn the true meaning of "Baruch Haba" as one day "every Berech (knee) shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Yeshua he is Adon"
May we learn to say today, in our lives, relationships, and kehilot welcome in the name of Adonai!
ברוך הבא בשם ה
Shavoah Tov
