The Epistle to the Hebrews constitutes one of the most difficult sections of the Bible for those of us who have embraced a Messianic Jewish perspective. Thankfully, D. Thomas Lancaster, First Fruits of Zion's Director of Education, has spent years penning a commentary that will enrich and enlighten you. He joins Messiah Podcast to provide a sneak peek into the premise that unlocked the historical understanding of this important book of the Apostolic Scriptures. – Episode Highlights – * The Epistle to the Hebrews is a difficult book to interpret from a Messianic Jewish perspective. Daniel Thomas Lancaster's new commentary brings the latest in New Testament scholarship and the oldest of Jewish hermeneutical principles to bear on the biblical text to present a relevant and insightful understanding of the epistle. * The authorship of Hebrews is uncertain. While it was certainly not the Apostle Paul, it may have been a second-generation disciple of the apostles like Clement of Rome. * Hebrews emphasizes Yeshua's importance as the gateway to the Messianic Era and warns against turning away from him. * The hermeneutical method used in Hebrews, known as kol vechomer, establishes the weight of the first matter to make a case for the second matter. * Understanding the Jewish context and the distinction between Jews and Gentiles is crucial in interpreting Hebrews. – Episode Resources – The Holy Epistle to the Hebrews https://ffoz.store/products/the-holy-epistle-to-the-hebrews The Holy Epistle to the Galatians https://ffoz.store/products/the-holy-epistle-to-the-galatians-book The Holy Epistle to the Ephesians https://ffoz.store/products/the-holy-epistle-to-the-ephesians-book Messiah Podcast is a production of First Fruits of Zion (https://ffoz.org) in conjunction with Messiah Magazine.

Uncover the profound intricacies of the Messiah as the Talmud (Sanhedrin 98B) reveals a character of unity and enlightenment, destined to reshape our understanding of divine wisdom. This episode delves into the dynamic qualities of this pivotal figure, akin to the revered Rabbeinu HaKadosh and Daniel, and how their archetype informs our anticipation of a leader in the lineage of King David. We delve into the Talmud's intricate portraits, reflecting on the critical importance of authenticated teachings and the necessity for our claims to be firmly rooted in the rich soil of our heritage.The concept of the Day of Hashem is a tapestry of contrasts, where the awaited dawn signifies both clarity for the faithful and obscurity for the lost. We explore this theme through the Talmudic analogy of the rooster and the bat, serving as emblems for those who seek enlightenment versus those who turn away. The discussion spans the varied interpretations of the Messianic era's length, with rabbinical insights suggesting anything from 40 to 70 years, and even the notion from Rabbi Hillel that we might have already witnessed the Messiah's advent.As we yearn for the Messiah's arrival, we share a collective longing for the clarity and enlightenment promised by this era. Our reflections paint a picture of a future awash with joy and an untethered connection to the Divine.

When Messiah will come is a question that we cannot answer. Trying to do so is prohibited, dangerous, and futile. There is great peril laden in the quest Messianic prognostication.

Parashat Vaet'Hanan: The Consolation of Shabbat Nahamu

Insight of the Week

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 13, 2022


Parashat Vaet'hanan begins with Moshe recalling the time when he beseeched G-d to allow him to enter Eretz Yisrael. Moshe tells the people, "Va'yit'aber Hashem Bi Le'ma'anchem" – that G-d was angry at him "for you" and refused his requests, denying him permission to cross the Jordan River along with them into the Land of Israel (3:26). The word "Le'ma'anchem" indicates that G-d's refusal to allow Moshe to enter the land was somehow for the people's benefit. It was "for you" – in the best interests of Beneh Yisrael – that G-d deny Moshe's request. How did it benefit the people that Moshe would not go into the Land of Israel? This question becomes even more perplexing in light of the Zohar's teaching that if Moshe had gone into the Land of Israel, he would have been able to abolish the Yeser Ha'ra (sinful inclination) to worship idols. Later in this Parasha (4:22-23), Moshe tells the people that he would not be crossing with them into the Land of Israel, and then warns them not to worship idols. The connection between these verses is that had Moshe entered the land, there would have been no need to warn the people not to engage in foreign worship, because he would have abolished this Yeser Ha'ra. Moreover, the Zohar teaches, if Moshe had entered the land, he would have built the Bet Ha'mikdash, and it would have never been destroyed. Anything built by Moshe remained permanent and everlasting – and thus the Bet Ha'mikdash would have stood forever. How, then, could it possibly have been in the people's benefit that Moshe was denied entry into the Land of Israel? To the contrary, this would have spared us thousands of years of bitter exile! The common explanation is that if the Bet Ha'mikdash could not have been destroyed, then G-d would have, Heaven forbid, destroyed Beneh Yisrael, instead. When G-d became angry at the nation for its misdeeds, He destroyed the Mikdash in lieu of their annihilation – like a creditor taking a precious item as collateral until the borrower repays his debt. If Moshe had built the Bet Ha'mikdash, this would not have been possible, and thus the Almighty would have destroyed the Jewish Nation. Hence, it was our benefit that Moshe was denied the privilege of entering the land, so he could not build the Bet Ha'mikdash. Others, however, explain differently. While on the one hand we want the final redemption to arrive immediately, and for the third Bet Ha'mikdash to be built right away, there is an advantage in its delay – as it gives us more time to prepare for the final redemption. We all have work to do, to refine and perfect our characters, so we will be prepared to serve Hashem properly in the Bet Ha'mikdash when Mashiah arrives. Of course, we must nevertheless pray for the redemption to arrive now, for G-d's sake, as it were. As long as the Jewish Nation is in exile, G-d, too, is in exile, so-to-speak, and we therefore wish for our immediate redemption. But at the same time, there is a certain benefit to the delay, in that it gives us more time to grow, to improve, to elevate ourselves, in preparation for the rebuilding of the Bet Ha'mikdash. Some explain that this was King Shaul's calculation when he defied G-d's command to annihilate the nation of Amalek. He knew that the annihilation of Amalek would herald the final redemption – and he also knew that there were those who needed more time to properly prepare themselves. His mistake was that we are to work toward bringing the final redemption not for our own sake, but for the sake of the Shechina, which is in exile together with us. It has been similarly explained that this was Moshe's intent when he said that G-d denied his request to enter the Land of Israel "Le'ma'anchem" – for Beneh Yisrael's sake. It was to their benefit that the world's redemption would not occur at that time – as they had more time to perfect themselves in preparation for the Messianic Era. This explains why the Shabbat following the observance of Tisha B'Ab is called "Shabbat Nahamu" – the Shabbat of Consolation, when we read G-d's prophecy of "Nehama" (consolation), and we are comforted after grieving over the destruction of the Bet Ha'mikdash. Although we hope and pray for the restoration of the Bet Ha'mikdash, each day that passes without its rebuilding gives us an opportunity to work harder to prepare ourselves for the final redemption. As much as we mourn and grieve, we can take consolation in this opportunity, in our ability to continue growing and improving ourselves so we can welcome Mashiah in a greater state of purity and spiritual devotion. This is a reason for comfort and consolation after having gone through another Tisha B'Ab, another year without our prayers for redemption being fulfilled. But in order for this period to be one of comfort and consolation, we must take advantage of this opportunity. We must do the work required for us to grow and improve, to rise higher. This might be why we begin reciting Selihot shortly after Tisha B'Ab – because after mourning our continued state of exile, we take comfort by seizing the opportunity we are given to repent, to prepare ourselves for Mashiah. May the coming weeks indeed be a period of considerable religious growth, so we will be worthy of greeting Mashiah at the gates of the rebuilt city of Jerusalem, speedily and in our times, Amen.
