Thalia’s Journal The Disciples of Jesus Christs’ Memorial Parsha Nitzavim-Vayelech
Psalm 83 – A song. A psalm of Asaph.
1Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
7Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;
8Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.
9Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
10Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
11Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
12Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.
13O my God, make them like a wheel; as the stubble before the wind.
14As the fire burneth a wood, and as the flame setteth the mountains on fire;
15So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
16Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
17Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:
18That men may know that thou, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, art the most high over all the earth.
God Loves You Best,

THE ETERNAL ONE is THE LORD MY God.MOSES, MIRIAM and Israel sang this song at the shores of the Sea:
Mi-cha-mo-cha ba-ei-lim, Adonai?
Mi ka-mo-cha, neh-dar ba-ko-desh, no-ra t’hi-lot, o-sei feh-leh?
Mal-chu-t’cha ra-u va-neh-cha, bo-kei-a yam li-f’nei Mo-sheh; zeh Ei-li! A-nu v’a-m’ru: Adonai yim-loch l’o-lam va’ed!
V’neh-eh-mar: Ki fa-da Adonai et Ya-a-kov, u-g’a-lo mi-yad cha-zak mi-meh-nu.
Ba-ruch a-ta Adonai, ga-al Yis-ra-eil.
Who is like You, Eternal One, among the gods that are worshipped? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in splendor, doing wonders?
In their escape from the sea, Your children saw your sovereign might displayed. “This is my God!” they creid. “The Eternal will reign for ever and ever!”
And it has been said: The Eternal One delivered Jacob, and redeemed us from the hand of one stronger than ourselves.
We praise You, O God, Redeemer of Israel.
PARSHA VAYELECH – Deuteronomy 31:1-30
Joshua to Succeed Moses – Deuteronomy 31:1-8
1 Then Moses went out and spoke these words to all Israel: 2 “I am now a hundred and twenty years old and I am no longer able to lead you. The LORD has said to me, ‘You shall not cross the Jordan.’ 3 The LORD your God himself will cross over ahead of you. He will destroy these nations before you, and you will take possession of their land. Joshua also will cross over ahead of you, as the LORD said. 4 And the LORD will do to them what he did to Sihon and Og, the kings of the Amorites, whom he destroyed along with their land. 5 The LORD will deliver them to you, and you must do to them all that I have commanded you. 6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
7 Then Moses summoned Joshua and said to him in the presence of all Israel, “Be strong and courageous, for you must go with this people into the land that the LORD swore to their forefathers to give them, and you must divide it among them as their inheritance. 8 The LORD himself goes before you and will be with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.”
The Reading of the Law – Deuteronomy 31:9 – 13
9 So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. 10 Then Moses commanded them: “At the end of every seven years, in the year for canceling debts, during the Feast of Tabernacles, 11 when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place he will choose, you shall read this law before them in their hearing. 12 Assemble the people—men, women and children, and the aliens living in your towns—so they can listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and follow carefully all the words of this law. 13 Their children, who do not know this law, must hear it and learn to fear the LORD your God as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”
Israel’s Rebellion Predicted – Deuteronomy 31:14 – 29
14 The LORD said to Moses, “Now the day of your death is near. Call Joshua and present yourselves at the Tent of Meeting, where I will commission him.” So Moses and Joshua came and presented themselves at the Tent of Meeting.
15 Then the LORD appeared at the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the cloud stood over the entrance to the Tent. 16 And the LORD said to Moses: “You are going to rest with your fathers, and these people will soon prostitute themselves to the foreign gods of the land they are entering. They will forsake me and break the covenant I made with them. 17 On that day I will become angry with them and forsake them; I will hide my face from them, and they will be destroyed. Many disasters and difficulties will come upon them, and on that day they will ask, ‘Have not these disasters come upon us because our God is not with us?’ 18 And I will certainly hide my face on that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.
19 “Now write down for yourselves this song and teach it to the Israelites and have them sing it, so that it may be a witness for me against them. 20 When I have brought them into the land flowing with milk and honey, the land I promised on oath to their forefathers, and when they eat their fill and thrive, they will turn to other gods and worship them, rejecting me and breaking my covenant. 21 And when many disasters and difficulties come upon them, this song will testify against them, because it will not be forgotten by their descendants. I know what they are disposed to do, even before I bring them into the land I promised them on oath.” 22 So Moses wrote down this song that day and taught it to the Israelites.
23 The LORD gave this command to Joshua son of Nun: “Be strong and courageous, for you will bring the Israelites into the land I promised them on oath, and I myself will be with you.”
24 After Moses finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end, 25 he gave this command to the Levites who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD: 26 “Take this Book of the Law and place it beside the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God. There it will remain as a witness against you. 27 For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die! 28 Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officials, so that I can speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to testify against them. 29 For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall upon you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and provoke him to anger by what your hands have made.”
The Song of Moses – Deuteronomy 31:30
30 And Moses recited the words of this song from beginning to end in the hearing of the whole assembly of Israel:
Commentary:
This has to be the most difficult memorial Parsha for me to grasp. I cannot say good-bye to the biblical character, Moses, from the pages of my personal Bible. Help me say Good bye Moses. I love you. See you next time. What a wonderful and fascinating deliverer. Moses is a prophet, a man that delivered the children’s children of the Exodus into the promise land, when their parents would have left them as prey. Oh I know too much about abandonment issues. Yes Moses is a warrior, a real servant of the Most High God. On the good side we will study prophets such as Samuel, Jeremiah and Joshua, the High Priest, who is commissioned to replace Moses.
I believe that what stands are more importantly than anything is that God will bring you back to repentance and forgiveness and in turn he will forgive you on the condition that you turn back from your evil ways and observe this law. If you observe this law, you will know when it is time to be redeemed; to return to the promise land; and your enemies being your judge will give their life to Jesus (Messiah) and you will find safety and assurance in the promise land. (Luke 15:1-7; 2nd Kings 11:3) Otherwise, you find misfortune, desolation, destruction, war, poverty and famine – and the gentiles will have dominion of the promise land, starting from the courts of Solomon.
You have to ask, if Moses were not a 120 years old, would he have enjoyed the Promise land in peace if the followers would not have provoked him, and caused him not to sanctify the name of the LORD Thy God? I am thinking maybe this would have been better for Moses because he would have been in warfare for his entire life with the surrounding nations. Like, the nations stood in anger when Jesus walked the earth. However the major conversion tool is do you believe that Jesus did all that he said he could do, and he is who he says he is?

In closing, Moses said to the people I already know that you will be rebellious and stiff-necked. It is interesting that Moses knew the people would be rebellious against God, and abandon the Law which would lead the people back to God. Moses already knew that stiff-necked people will go against the majority of an ethnic group in a metropolitan, knowing that it would only result in being crushed or smashed, which is a type of destruction leading to mortal wounding and death. Can you think of a time in history that a people were set aside for genocide or destruction because of being at war with another nation or culture? In America the U.S. constitution is supreme, and thanks to the 18th Amendment exploitation and slavery are outlawed in this country. As a matter of fact, America has been an advocate for the rule of law, democracy and liberty and freedom for many countries, a shining example of what America aims to be everyday for each and every citizen that is equal before the law.

Concluding the Parsha for Jesus Christ, Nitzavim-Vayalech (Deuteronomy 29:9 through Deuteronomy 31:1-30) is the one time of year that I check to see if people are aware of translations and a working knowledge of God, from the perspective of Judah. Knowing God [Elokim (א-להים)] by His name has nothing to do with doctrine. How would you like someone to call you a name that has nothing to do with your attributes, or the kind of God that you have been to Israel, or to the other Nations. Well when you translate Elohim back to Aramaic, it is the Devil, the gods of the Babylonians before they conquered and destroyed the Pharonic Dynasty, that you will never see again – no one rely on Egypt for horses (arms in 2010). Reviewing all of the literature available for Elohim, and not Elokim. I can see that anti-Christ is working hard on the Church of God, to get you to bust hell wide open. During the time of Babylonian conquest, it probably was impossible to mean the One True God. Jesus said, he is here from the one sent him, and you don’t know Him. Therefore, we now know how easy it is to miss the opportunity to meet God when He created everything in the universe, but on a personal perspective while my ancestors were alienated from their homeland, yet again, just the minor spelling of His name is very important to the remnant that forged out of Babylonian conquest. Knowing that the land of the nation of Judah would from thence forward be a heavenly Kingdom, fulfilled again in the heavens, after the church is taken up into heaven.
Yet, you say that you know what you are talking about, as it pertains to another persons culture. As if you were there when Moses was giving the Torah. Moses said that he was talking to you this day, the people that are here and the people that are not here. So if you know that your ancestors were there on the mountain with Moses, then why is it that you can’t simply do a simple repentance and enjoy the holy days and festivals i.e., Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. I listen to alot of people talk and they will tell you that God is the baby Jesus. Jesus is the God of the Bible, as if the Father God has no identity or name in the bible. God wants you to sanctify His name, so we know that Jehovah has a name in the Bible. Many people get him mixed up with the kind of God he is for instance when he gave the children of Israel peace amongst their enemies and delivered them from the Midianites, now this is a time when crime was high and the law was ineffective – Jehovah Nissi (The God of Peace or the God of my peace). (Judges 6:24).
Although the true church, Church of God, has only one ordinance. I whole heartedly believe that the people who know what was going on in the wilderness, should partake of Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah. By doing this you also perform a commandment of God, and you sanctify yourselves with a good and righetous deed. You sanctify yourself by following the commandments of God, not by struggling from persecution and destruction at the hands of your enemies. Yet I have tried so many times to study with people since repentance is the focus of observing the Festivals; being mindful of the mitzvots (following the commandments of the LORD Thy God will consecrate you to the LORD Thy God, that led my family out of Egypt and now you Elokim is my God, you alone are my Eternal God (Elokim). Nevertheless Jesus said if you strike the shepherd, then the sheep will scatter. (Zechariah 10:9-10; Zechariah 13:7; Matthew 26:31). Do away with the stiffnecked behaviour; rolling eyes; and refusing to repent this is the evil spirit that sits over the church (whoredom) until Christ returns. “I hear stories that God (Jesus) died so that person could be priest over me. I hear someone say to me that I fellowship with anyone because my spirituality is unsettled – as if it is against the law to be impartial and listen to these are sick rantings about the Lord Jesus.” Yet your tents are afflicted and I can write all the grants for AIDS, but we can never work together; because you know that there is a difference that God made between me and you. (Exodus 3) (Habakuk 3:7). Know this that if you take notice to what they will do to one another then you can imagine what they will do to you. A place with uncurable Egyptian boils and 50 to 100 kids walking the streets with nothing to do so that I can see it. Yet you do not serve your community and there is no medium between art and industry or opinion, God forbid a medium to the Gospel.
This message is to the person that knows more about the bible than I do, who knows more about the King James version being that their family did not write the bible, nor were they a people whom the Torah was given. Therefore, your doctrine is falliable, you write that the first occurences of Elohim is in Genesis 1:1 and is translated in the King James Version (KJV) as “God.” It appears in the Old Testament about 2,500 times. It describes God’s greatness and glory; it displays God’s power and Sovereignity. If Elohim is translated into God, then why is that you can not and will not observe Rosh Hashanah 2010. (Exodus 22:28). The answer is that you have an unforgiving heart to blaspheme the name of God. (Romans 2:24 Isaiah 52:5; Ezek. 36:22). Elokim gave Moses the Torah, and commanded us to observe Rosh Hashanah and all the other Holy Festivals as a commandment to sanctify ourselves to our God. God wrote the Torah.

Is this your excuse for failing to observe Sukkot, Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah as commanded by Moses? |
Aish.com. http://www.aish.com. Sukkot: September 22nd, 2010 through September 30th, 2010. http://www.aish.com/tp/ss/ssw/103234274.html.
Sukkot starts Wednesday evening, September 22nd. Sukkot means “booths.” During the 40 years of wandering in the desert we lived in Sukkot. We are commanded in the Torah regarding this holiday, “You shall dwell in booths for seven days … so that your generations will know that I caused the Children of Israel to dwell in booths when I took them out of Egypt, I am the Lord your God” (Leviticus 23:42-43). We are commanded to make our Sukkah our main dwelling place – to eat, sleep, learn Torah and spend our time there. If one would suffer from being in a Sukkah – i.e. from rain or snow – or heat and humidity – he is freed from the obligation to dwell there. We make, however, every effort to at least eat in the Sukkah – especially the first night.

• Start on sukkah
It is customary to begin working on — or at least planning — the construction of the sukkah immediately after Yom Kippur. Indeed, The Midrash (Vayikra Rabbah 30:7) describes the four days between Yom Kippur and Sukkot as a time when the Jewish people are “preoccupied with mitzvot… this one is occupied with his sukkah, this one is occupied with his lulav…”
• “G-d’s Name”
According to an old Chassidic tradition — mentioned in the writings of the Baal Shem Tov — the day after Yom Kippur is referred to as “G-d’s Name.” (The Baal Shem Tov explains that each of the various divine names describe G-d’s involvement in a specific “world” or realm of reality, but the designation “G-d’s Name” — without reference to any particular name — connotes a divine effluence that transcends all realms and particulars. On Yom Kippur, we access and reveal the very essence of our soul, which is one with the very essence of G-d; thus the day after Yom Kippur carries the designation “G-d’s Name.”)
