The Secret of Tzizit and Fixing the Garden of Eden How do we understand the transition from the grievous sin of the spies against the ‘precious land' (Ps. 106:24), to the insatiable and tragic envy of Korach? The Book of Numbers, called ‘The Book of Mistakes,' challenges us to overcome our own insecurities and negative feelings, and reestablish the Garden of Eden on earth. ___ Rabbi Chaim Richman Jerusalem Lights | Torah for Everyone Please support the work of Jerusalem Lights, a USA recognized 501 ( c ) 3 non-profit organization to enable these productions to continue and grow: Paypal: infojerusalemlights@gmail.com or: https://paypal.me/JerusalemLights?loc...

Working Mothers Are More Likely Than Working Fathers to Feel OverwhelmedWith moms historically having shouldered the burden of domestic responsibilities and care of children and loved ones—a pattern that COVID exasperated—it comes as no surprise that employed mothers are feeling overwhelmed, even forgotten.2. Mothers' Shift to Work-from-Home Dynamic Was More Drastic than Fathers'While many mothers left the workforce during the COVID-19 crisis, the ones who are currently employed—whether they stayed through the pandemic or are among the percentage of women reentering the workforce—continue to navigate changes in their work environments and work expectations. Barna's data surrounding these shifts hint at a lower level of satisfaction in working mothers' relationships both within and outside work, as well as lower satisfaction with their job in general, when compared to working fathers.3. Working Mothers Desire Time to Prioritize Reflection & Self-CareWorking mothers, more than working women without children in the home, tell Barna they could achieve better work-life balance if they “had more quiet time to regain perspective” (30% vs. 19%) They are also more likely than all other women to say better work-life balance could be achieved if they had “more opportunities to exercise” (30% vs. 18% working women without children in the home, 15% all other women).…Amid a season of transition, overwhelm and a struggle to balance personal and professional responsibilities, working mothers could benefit from the support of their community, including local church congregations. Yet pastors and congregants may not know how to best rally around working mothers in this time—or even be aware that they need to. Indeed, one in five Christian working moms (22% vs. 11% of working dads) says they are not attending church right now.Story: https://www.barna.com/research/challenges-working-moms/He is the God who sees/hears.Trusting yourself vs. Trusting God, the Promise KeeperTrusting the Flesh vs. Trusting the Spirit of GodFlesh vs. FaithEgypt (Land of Self-reliance) vs. Promise Land (Land of Resting Faith)God is our rescuer/promise-keeper/Hero—God / Angel of the LordHe hears/seesHe shows up aware because he caresHe brings hope, despite consequences**Salvation isn't fixing the flesh. Salvation is crucifying the flesh. We are called to come and die to self-reliance. Leave Egypt and enter the Promise Land.Outline based largely on Kent HughesI. Human Chaos (1-6)A. Scheming (1-2)B. Fall! (3-4)Sarai's action parallel to Eve'sAbram listened to his wife (2)Sarai took Hagar (3a) just as Eve took the fruit (3:6a)Sarai gave Hagar to her husband (3b) just as Eve gave the fruit to hers (3:6b)And in both cases the man willingly and knowingly partookFree-fall! “God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption” Galatians 6:7-8C. Chaos (5-6)Logically Sarai was wrong to place all the blame on Abram…it was her ideaBut actually she was right. He was the patriarch. He was the head of the house. God had spoken to him, not to her. He should never have allowed the situation. Abram was truly responsible for the “wrong” (lit. violence) she was suffering.Abram should have taken responsibility here.Abram should have affirmed his love for her here.Abram should have sought the wisdom of God in prayer.Instead, he capitulated to familiar Mesopotamian ways.He allowed Sarai to demote Hagar from wife/concubine back to slave.Sarai mistreated Hagar causing her to flee. Hagar = run awayNone of these three were honorable in how they handled things.Abram was the worst. He didn't really care for either of these women.Neither woman had compassion for the other. Sarai was the worst.Both women were victims. Hagar the greatest.This all started when people failed to trust God's word. (Trust in God)Instead they tried to take matters into their own hands. (Self-reliance/trust in self)II. Divine Intervention (7-16)A. Divine Discovery (7-9)Hagar fled scared.The Angel of the Lord found her—a stranger; God himself.This Angel knew everything. Saw, heard, knew……understood…authoritative “Return to your mistress and submit to her”Why? Because of the future…B. Divine Revelation (10-12) - God initiated this.Out of 6 promises in the OT for descendants, Hagar is the only woman to receive such a promise.God honored Hagar with many descendants. Fruit of the Abrahamic covenant.IshmaelYou will have a sonYou will name him Ishmael because the Lord has heard (Ishmael - God has heard)He will be nomadic Bedouin He will be in perpetual conflict with others around him (Sound like Arabs?)Ishmael's promise is part of the Abrahamic covenant—not it's ownAbram's and Sarai's shortcut would impact our world for millennia causing oceans of blood. Sin has consequences. When we take matters into our own hands and get out in front of God, this is what tends to happen:We mess things up; troubleWe sin and sin has consequencesWe blame each otherWe divide or move away from each otherWe hurt and hurt each other (and ourselves)We damage the future and miss out on some of the blessingsWe grieve God and quench his SpiritC. Hagar's Response (13-16) - As a result of God seeing her, she sees God and…She named God and that place“the God who sees me.” “the well of the living one who sees me”She worshiped God. Instead of reveling in the good news God gave, she revels in God himself.She believed and trusted God. This led to her submission and obedience.She obeyed God. She returned and submitted to Sarai.She came to understand that God hearsGod seesGod knows my situationGod understands what I'm going throughTherefore, she trusts, obeys and worships God in the midst of her difficult circumstances.ConclusionThe consequences of taking matters into our own hands can be tragic and devastating. We cannot change the past.However, God's mercy and grace leads to forgiveness when we confess our sins and move forward by grace through faith in Him.Perhaps you find yourself in the wilderness right now. Perhaps you feel abandoned, alone, and abused.God hears.God sees.God knows.God understands.God reveals, guides and provides if you'll look to him and rest in his protection and provision. He is faithful.Jen Wilkins shared these thoughts as she wrapped up her thoughts on this chapter:Paul calls us to, “Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. And then I will be able to boast on the day of Christ that I did not run or labor in vain.”(‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2:14-16‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/111/php.2.14-16.NIV)The Lord reminds us in the Psalms, “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.” (‭‭Psalms‬ ‭147:4‬ ‭NIV‬‬ https://psalm.bible/psalm-147-4)“And each of you—we—are one of those stars as we shine like stars in the sky of this dark world as we hold firmly to the word of life. And then we will be able to boast on the day of Christ that we did not run or labor in vain.” —JWPrayOther notes:Outline Bible - Genesis 16:VIII. THE COMPROMISE BY ABRAM (16:1-16)A. The rationale for his compromise (16:1-3)1. The problem (16:1): Sarai is still unable to bear a son.2. The plan (16:1-3): Sarai convinces Abram to marry Hagar, her servant, in order to have a son through her.B. The results of his compromise (16:4-16)1. Hagar's marriage to Abram (16:4): After Hagar conceives, she begins to look down upon Sarai.2. Hagar's mistreatment by Sarai (16:5-6): After suffering harsh treatment from the frustrated Sarai, Hagar flees into the desert.3. Hagar's meeting with the Lord (16:7-14)a. The Lord advises her (16:7-9): The angel of the Lord comes to her by a well and tells her, "Return to [Sarai] and submit to her authority.b. The Lord assures her (16:10-14): The angel of the Lord tells Hagar that she will have innumerable descendants through her unborn son, who will be called Ishmael ("God hears").4. Hagar's mothering of Ishmael (16:15-16): She gives birth to Ishmael when Abram is eighty-six years old.Notes from Jen Wilkin's message on Gen 12-16We should ask ourselves two questions every time we study scripture:What is true about God here? (Knowledge of God), andWhat is true about me in light of what is true about God? (Knowledge of self).Gen 16Hagar was a female, Egyptian slave!Remember, Egypt is the archetype of self-reliance.Sarai— taking matters into her own hands.This was a legal way to produce a legal heir using your maidservant to bear a child. But it's illegal in God's legal system.Abraham listens to Sarai instead of God. (Reminds me of Eden)How much say did Hagar really have in this plan? She's a victim, though not blameless.There's a lot of blame shifting going on here by Sarai and others. (Like in Eden)Sarai was physically (not just verbally) harsh with Hagar. “Mistreats” (NIV) in v. 6*Why this extreme reaction?Because up to this point, Sarai knew that her barrenness could have been because of Abram instead of her. But now that Hagar is pregnant, she realizes it's because of her.So she bears the full reproach/shame/scorn of a culture that said that the only thing a woman is good for is bearing children. Her world crashes.16:8 God is gently drawing Hagar in…Hagar is extremely vulnerable now. She's safer with Abram and Sarai even.Plus God gives her assurances about her and Ishmael's future.“There are no minor characters in the Story of God” -JWApparently, Abram (and maybe Sarai) believed Hagar's story as seen in that Abram names her son Ishmael instead of coming up with his own as was his right and role.“And God said…” “and it was so” (pattern)—Story of self-reliance vs. Sovereignty of God—Trust in me vs. Trust in TheeMy other notesIn previous chapters, Abram listened to God and exercised faith. But here he listened to his wife instead of God and revealed his unbelief.Both Abram and Sarai tried to help God's promise happen instead of resting in that promise and waiting on God to work in his perfect timing. For Isaac came 13 years later when Ishmael could live on his own. (No father going forward was devestating)Sarai blames God for her barren condition. This is actually true as God is sovereign. (Rom 8:28 applies here) But she hints he's not good in doing so which is not true.Hagar is quite the victim here. And yet when empowered does harm back.God does not acknowledge Hagar as Abram's wife even though this was a legal path to getting a legal heir. She is still a slave in God's eyes.First mention of the Angel of the Lord. Theophany? Christophany?“When God spoke to Abram, he was identified the second time as the angel of the Lord (22:1,15).”Ishmael — God will hear. (11)Hagar — flight, run away (LCB study notes)“GO TO MY SLAVE. Sarai knew of the Sumerian custom of using a concubine to obtain a male heir in the case of a wife's barrenness. A concubine did not have the same rights as the wife.” (LCB study notes)“Childlessness was a great burden to women, for it was seen as a lack of blessing from the Lord. Hagar's pregnancy placed her in a more favored position.” Ibid“16:12 WILD DONKEY. A promise of Ishmael's eventual nomadic lifestyle. EVERYONE'S HAND WILL BE AGAINST HIM. Points to the hostility between the de-scendants of Isaac (the Israelites) and Ishmael (the Ishmaelites).”Practical lesson: “Whenever we run ahead of God, there is trouble. The flesh loves to ‘help' God, but true faith is shown in patience (Is 28:16). We cannot mix faith and flesh, law and grace, promise and self-effort.” BKCReferences/Bibliography:“Preaching the Word” Genesis Commentary, Kent Hughes“The Bible Knowledge Commentary” by Walvoord, Zuck (BKC)“the Bible Exposition Commentary” by Warren Wiersbe (BEC)Genesis 12-16 Message by Jen Wilkin from her Genesis studyOutline Bible, D WillmingtonLife Connection Bible, Lyman Coleman, study notesNIV Study Bible (NIVSB)ESV Study Bible
