每週一妥拉 2013/6/9-6/15

從古時起，世界各地的猶太會堂會一週一次在安息日讀經，從摩西五經（妥拉）到先知的書（先知書）。每週的讀經內容都有一個希伯來名稱，其出自經文內容起頭的字。每週慣例讀經的實例剛好記載在路加福音四章16節，耶穌來到拿撒勒的會堂，讀了一段先知書（以賽亞書61章）。我們發現每週一次閱讀這些內容，不僅提供我們機會，與世界成千上萬的猶太人來確認神話語的內容，在我們為以色列與猶太人的代禱上，聖靈更時常貼切的啟發具體的內容禱告。

這週的閱讀（6/9-6/15）稱為『律例』（Chukat），讀經內容包括：
妥拉: 民數記19:1-22:1
先知書: 士師記11:1-33

四十年在曠野裡

因著死亡不斷在他們中間發生，民數記十九章以一種特別的『消毒』方式，來處理那些觸摸死屍的人。於是三十八年悄悄度過，對於那悖逆的世代，『神四十年之久，又厭煩誰呢？豈不是那些犯罪、屍首倒在曠野的人嗎』（希伯來書3:17）。到了二十章提到米利暗的死，他們已經靠近應許之地了。在這一次的妥拉閱讀中，摩西與亞倫受肉體背叛而悖逆神，使他們無法進入應許之地。亞倫將外袍（聖衣）給了兒子以利亞撒後，死在何珥山。沒多久後，愛發怨言的那一代所存留下來的人被蛇咬死─但新的世代開始起來爭戰，戰勝抵擋他們進入應許之路的巨人。

*民數記19: 紅母牛條例。除了可拉背叛獻香的人死去外，沒多久就有14,700人死於瘟疫，可能還會有成千上萬的人死在曠野裡。『死亡』持續充斥的營中，所以那些摸了死屍的人需要特別的潔淨。『罪的代價就是死』，在希伯來文中，『潔淨』（12節）這個字涵蓋著罪的希伯來文chet。一隻寶血顏色、沒有殘疾、未曾負軛的『母牛』在營外焚燒，再把香柏木、牛膝草與朱紅色線都丟在火中一塊燒。母牛的灰被收存在營外的器皿裡，需要的人將其與『活水』（17節）混在一起，用來除去那些觸摸死屍的污穢（實質上就是除罪的水，9節）。

請禱告：這週當以色列讀到這段經文，求神賜下神聖的啟示，引導他們從第一世紀猶太人所寫的書卷中發現真理：『若山羊和公牛的血，並母牛犢的灰，灑在不潔的人身上，尚且叫人成聖，身體潔淨，何況基督藉著永遠的靈，將自己無瑕無疵獻給神，祂的血豈不更能洗淨你們的心，除去你們的死行，使你們事奉那永生神嗎？』（希伯來書9:13-14）。

*民數記20:10, 24: 摩西說：『你們這些背叛的人聽我說：我為你們使水從這磐石中流出來嗎？』神說：『因為在米利巴水，你們（摩西和亞倫）違背了我的命。』

摩西是一個充滿勇氣、憐憫與謙卑的偉大領袖，卻仍有怒氣方面的『盲點』。怒氣常在摩西生命中被提到或影射（出2:12, 11:8, 32:19，利10:16，民11:10, 16:15）。雖然怒氣有存在的必要性，但當其出於肉體或不在神的時間被釋放出來，就無法『成就神的義』（雅各書1:19）。最後，怒氣引發摩西違背神的命令，使他指責人們的罪惡，對他們說而非對磐石說（民20:10）。提多書1:7說神的管家必須『不暴躁』。

請禱告：在以色列彌賽亞肢體的領袖，能持續受聖靈訓練得以自制。禱告我們將對付聖靈所顯明的問題，否則在重大決定的關鍵時刻，我們可能會用情緒或創傷來回應。

*民數記21:9:『摩西便製造一條銅蛇，掛在杆子上；凡被蛇咬的，一望這銅蛇就活了。』『杆子』的希伯來文ness剛好也有著『神蹟』之意。約翰福音3:14-15:『摩西在曠野怎樣舉蛇，人子也必照樣被舉起來，叫一切信祂的都得永生。』哥林多後書5:21:『神使那無罪的，替我們成為罪，好叫我們在祂裡面成為神的義。』

*民數記21:34-35: 『耶和華對摩西說：不要怕他（巴珊王噩）！因我已將他和他的眾民，並他的地，都交在你手中；於是他們殺了他和他的眾子，並他的眾民，沒有留下一個，就得了他的地。』申命記3:11:『利乏音人所剩下的只有巴珊王噩。』

當以色列在三十八年後抵達迦南邊界時，只剩下當初他們父親所懼怕的虛構『巨人』。神給他們的指示與他們父親的完全一樣，這次他們聽了神的話並且毀滅了巴珊王噩。打敗巴珊王噩的意義非凡，在申命記、約書亞記、列王記上、尼希米記與詩篇多次提到他。

這一段經文神所提到『交在以色列手中』的土地，就是1967年六日戰爭從敘利亞奪回的土地─戈蘭高地，這區域當時是分給瑪拿西支派作為部分領土。領土的南邊到達亞嫩河，是從亞摩利人的王西宏得來的，最後成為流便與迦得支派的領土。這地方目前位在約旦西北邊為約旦所佔據。

請禱告：在迦勒與約書亞身上『不一樣的心志』，能激勵以色列年輕的世代再次甦醒過來─使我們會信靠和迦勒與約書亞一樣的神，擊敗在這塊土地上再次興起的巨人。

*士師記11:23-24:『耶和華─以色列的神在祂百姓以色列面前趕出亞摩利人，你竟要得他們的地嗎？你的神基抹所賜你的地你不是得為業嗎？耶和華─我們的神在我們面前所趕出的人，我們就得他的地。』

許多人對耶弗他有著負面的想法，因為他曾許了一個不幸的願，然而事實不總是如此。雖然他為妓女所生並被家人趕逐，聖經卻以英勇戰士來紀念他，他興起贏得朋友與敵人的敬重。他是一位信靠主得勝的領袖（9節），他是一位士師，將自己所說的話與協定陳明在主面前（11節）。他也熟悉土地的歷史（14-29節），高舉主的手，藉此來勸說他的敵人避免不必要的衝突。對他而言，審判在於神，所以他在神在人面前備受敬重，他甚至被列在希伯來書十一章的信心英雄榜中。

請禱告：像耶弗他般的戰士在末日可以在以色列被興起。禱告神看顧那些來自破碎家庭的人（這樣的人太多了）─恩典與信心的種子會被撒在其中，使其在好土中發芽。禱告神的國度臨到基列，那區塊的土地（目前在約旦西部），也就是在這一章採取行動的地方。以利亞先知就是從這地方出來的：『以利亞固然先來，並要復興萬事』（瑪垃基書4:5；馬太福音17:11），這也是他被接到天上的地方。撒迦利亞預言那塊地有一天（亞10:10）會成為猶大家與約瑟家返回之處。

下週的閱讀進度（6/16-6/22）稱為『巴勒』（Balak），讀經內容包括：妥拉─民數記22:2-25:9；先知書─彌迦書5:7-6:8。

THIS WEEK'S TORAH PORTION:
From ancient times there has been a weekly portion (Parashah) from the first five books of Moses (The Torah) and an ending (Haftarah) from the Prophets read on the Sabbath in synagogues around the world. This portion is given a Hebrew name drawn from the opening words of the Torah passage. An illustration of this practice appears to have been recorded in Luke 4:16 where Yeshua (Jesus) arrived in the synagogue in Nazareth and was asked to read the portion (Isaiah 61) from the Prophets. We have found that in perusing these weekly readings, not only are we provided opportunity to identify in the context of God's Word with millions of Jewish people around the world, but very often the Holy Spirit will illumine specific passages pertinent that week in our intercession for the Land and people of Israel. All texts are those of English translations of the Scriptures.

The reading for this week 9-15 June is called Chukat-"Ordinance" (regarding the Red Heifer):
TORAH: Numbers 19:1-22:1
HAFTARAH: Judges 11:1-33

40 YEARS IN THE DESERT

Because of the dead who would be constantly in their midst as an entire generation passed away, Chapter 19 deals with a special 'decontamination' procedure with which to cleanse away the defilement left by death. Then 38 years silently pass-there is littl e more that the Holy Spirit chose to pass on to us regarding that rebellious generation "with whom He was angry for 40 years.whose corpses fell in the desert" (Hebrews 3:17). By Chapter 20, with the death of Miriam, those years are already drawing near to a close. In this week's reading Moses and Aaron themselves enter into a rebellion which will bar them from entering the Land. After the passing of his mantle to his son Eleazar, Aaron dies on Mount Hor. Shortly thereafter a further remnant from the complaining generation are slain by serpents-but the new generation begins to move into warfare and to prevail against the giants barring their way into their inheritance.

*Numbers 19: Ordinance of the Red Heifer. With the death of those offering incense in Korah's rebellion, the 14,700 who died by plague in the uprising shortly thereafter, and the prospect that hundreds of thousands would pass away in the wilderness wanderings, death hung over the camp continuously. There was need for an especial cleansing for those who came in contact with a dead person. "The wages of sin is death"-In Hebrew the very word for "purification" or "decontamination" (vs. 12) bears the word for sin chet within it. A cow, perfect and never yoked, was burned in totality o utside the camp, with cedar wood, hyssop and scarlet fed into the burning. Then the ashes were stored outside the camp. When needed, they were mixed with "living water" (vs17, Hebrew: mayim haim) and used as a decontaminant (literally, "water kept apart to expel, serving as a sin offering", vs. 9b) for those who had come into contact with death.

PLEASE PRAY: from the letter in the New Covenant written specifically to Jews of the First century: "For if the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, how much more will the blood of Messiah, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cl eanse your conscience from dead works to serve the Living God?" (Hebrews 9:13-14).

*Numbers 20:10, 24: MOSES: "Hear now, you rebels! Must we bring water for you out of this rock?" YHVH: ".because you both (i.e. Moses and Aaron) rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah." A great leader of courage, compassion and humility, Moses nevertheless appears to have had a 'blind spot' regarding anger. One sees it quietly alluded to or mentioned a number of times during his life (Exodus 2:12, 11:8, 32:19, Lev 10:16, Numbers 11:10, 16:15). Although there is a place for anger, if it is released in the flesh or outside of God's timing, it will "not produce the righteousness of God" (James 1:19). In the end, it triggered in him the very rebellion against God's command which he accused the people of when he spoke to them (20:10) rather than to the Rock. Titus 1:7 speaks of the necessity that God's stewards be "not quick-tempered".

PLEASE PRAY: For leaders in the Body of Messiah in Israel to be trained by the Holy Spirit in self-control. Pray that we will deal with issues which the Spirit discloses, which otherwise could cause us, in moments of critical decision under intense pressure, to operate out of our emotions or woundings.

*Numbers 21:9 (Alter): "And Moses made a serpent of bronze and put it on a standard, and so then, if the serpent bit a man, he looked on the serpent of bronze and lived." The word ness here translated "standard" happens also to be a modern Hebrew word for "miracle". John 3:14-15: "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." II Corinthians 5:21: "He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf that we might become the righteousness of God in Him."

*Numbers 21:34-35: "Do not fear him (i.e. Og, King of Bashan), for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land.So they defeated him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left him; and they took possession of his land." Deuteronomy 3:11: "For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the giants." As Israel arrives 38 years later at the border of Canaan, only one of the fabled "giants" which had terrified their fathers remains. God gives them exactly the same directive he'd given their fa thers.and this time they take Him at His word and destroy him. The significance of defeating this Og was huge-he is mentioned many times in Deuteronomy, Joshua, I Kings, Nehemiah and the Psalms.

The territory which this text says God Himself "delivered into Israel's hand" would eventually became part of the territory allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. It is this same area which modern Israel took from Syria in the 1967 War-the Golan Heights. The territory southward to the Arnon River was taken from King Sihon of the Amorites and eventually became territory of the tribes Reuben and Gad. This area is presently occupied by the north-western part of the Kingdom of Jordan.

PLEASE PRAY: That the "different spirit" of Caleb and Joshua which motivated this younger generation of Israelites would awaken again in Israel-that we would come to trust God for defeat of the many giants which have arisen again in the land to which we have returned.

*Judges 11:23-24: "And now YHVH Elohei-Yisrael (Yehovah, the Israel God) has dispossessed the Amorites from before His people Israel; should you then possess it? Will you not possess whatever Chemosh your god gives you to possess? So whatever the LORD our God takes possession of b efore us, we will possess!"

Jephthah (Hebrew: Yiphtakh) has regrettably come by many to be dismissed (when thought of at all) because of an unfortunate vow he made regarding his daughter. But this has not always been so. The Bible remembers him as a heroic warrior (gibor-hayil) who, although born of a harlot, despised and dispossessed by the rest of his family, rose nevertheless to command the respect of both friends and enemies. He was a leader who trusted in the LORD for victory (vs. 9); a wise judge who made his agreements and pacts in the Presence of the LORD (vs. 12). He was intimately acquainted with the history of his land (vss. 14-29), acknowledging the LORD's hand in that history, and bringing it to bear in reasoning with his enemies so as to avoid conflict if possible. For Jephthah, judgment rested with the LORD. So highly respected was this man before both God and man, that he is included in the chapter of Heroes of Faith in Hebrews 11.

PLEASE PRAY: For warriors like Jephthah to be raised up in Israel in the Last Days. Pray for God's oversight of those from broken families (there are so many)-that seeds of grace and faith will be sown which will catch and germinate in fertile soil! Pray for God's Kingdom to come in Gilead, that section of land (a western portion of the present-day Kingdom of Jordan) where the action in this chapter took place. It was from this land that the Prophet Elijah "who is coming first and will restore all things" (Malachi 4:5; Matthew 17:11) came forth-and from whence he was taken up into Heaven. Under the power of the Spirit of God, the prophet Zechariah foretold a day (Zech. 10:10) in which Gilead would one day be among the areas to which the houses of Judah and Joseph would be returned.

從耶路撒冷來的代禱信與信息2013/6/7

重新包裝的謊言與真理
作者：Asher Intrater

諸多惡行橫行在這個世界是因為人們相信謊言。耶穌稱我們的大敵撒旦為“謊言之父”（約翰福音 8:44）如果真理的本質更合乎邏輯，健康，和道德，為什麼人們還要相信謊言呢？簡言之，他們必須被反複的虛假信息所說服。如果一個謊言被重複多次，它最終將會被信為真理。

謊言以兩種方法之一導出：把本善之物，以惡形展示; 或是把本惡之物，以善形展示。在現代傳媒技術下，當一個事件發生時且不利於某人的政治議程，他就會試圖“扭轉乾坤”，將情勢突顯儼如實際上是他本人的勝利。如果他的對手獲得勝利，他試圖扭轉將功歸於自己。

一個謊言必然稱一件善事為惡，或稱一件惡事為善。一個謊言以包裝且以魚目混珠來展現它來扭曲事實。撒旦甚至試圖偽裝成光明的天使（哥林多後書11:14）。

以賽亞書5:20 禍哉、那些稱惡為善、稱善為惡、以暗為光、以光為暗、以苦為甜、以甜為苦的人。

最近一部小說描繪了一對基督教青年營輔導員夫婦成為祕密的連環殺手。那就是將善扭轉成惡。言下之意是，基督徒是惡者。

為了撇清恐怖分子與伊斯蘭教的任何關連，已被教導多年而成為伊斯蘭聖戰組織者，被媒體稱為“麻煩的青年”。因此，伊斯蘭恐怖分子被包裝成不是伊斯蘭教徒。

性不倫（包括通姦，賣淫，同性戀，女同性戀和性虐待）在娛樂界被展現為浪漫，刺激，藝術和娛樂。夫妻與親子之間和正常的家庭生活關係被描繪成不健康的，約束的，枯燥的，和缺乏創意的。

當善被包裝為惡，惡被包裝為善時，莫讓你自己被洗腦。

彌賽亞基布茲的突破（彌賽亞集體農場的突破）
作者：Ayelet Ronen 秘書長

Yad Hashmona 位在耶路撒冷城外的猶太山麓，是以色列唯一的彌賽亞基布茲。目前，成員一直維持在約 20 個家庭左右（35位有投票權的成人）。但在這個星期，歷史上的首次，基布茲被投下大幅增加其面積和異象的實質的一票。

我們接受了 50 位新成員加入基布茲！全是本地的彌賽亞信徒亦是以色列公民。這種增長需要一個相當的建設計劃包括道路，房舍，兒童設施，基礎設施等。

如果上帝賜予我們這個項目中成功的恩典，在以色列中心，將有一個真實生活的彌賽亞社區前所未有的範例！此現實生活和屬靈上果子將大幅增長。我們需要你們的禱告和支持。欲灠我們的互聯網主頁，請點擊 www.yad8.com。財務捐助或意欲與尋求建立家園的年輕家庭有合作關係，可以通過”復興以色列事工”與我們聯絡。

註：彌賽亞基布茲 原文 Messianic Kibbutz，kibbutz是集體農場的意思

末世預言的字面解釋
With Holly Wallace

末世預言與以色列息息相關，因為耶穌將會回到那裡。過去 2000 年，以色列國曾已被摧毀，子民被驅散。因此，它看似很難從字面上理解這些預言。許多“天堂”的詮釋只是脫離塵世和歷史事實的神秘寓言。

然而，現在猶太人民已重新聚集且國度被復興，這些預言的應驗正是如此的清楚顯明。耶穌會回來，列國將攻擊以色列，枯骨將起，聖徒將被提，國度被設立在耶路撒冷，和伊甸園將在地上被恢復。

有些人的確以這樣的方式理解預言。在此，引用著名物理學家艾薩克·牛頓爵士(Sir Isaac Newton 1642 年– 1747 年 )所言：“關於末世，人的肉體將會升起，在喧嚷和對立之間，他們的注意力將轉向諸多預言並強調他們的逐字(字面)解釋。“

是的，它實際上是真的將要發生。那些大膽相信並宣告它的人肯定會面臨爭議和反對。至少，牛頓爵士是這麼認為的。

Tikkun 美國特會

上週，我們在美國”Tikkun 領袖特會”有著獨特的事工時段。在特會期間及週日在以馬內利教會，Asher Intrater 和 Paul Wilbur 有著四次一起事工的良機-- 在聖靈引導的合作下一起敬拜，發預言，和教學。
