Metzora (Leper)

Scripture: 

Leviticus 14:1 - 15:33

Torah

 

14 Then Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “This is the Torah of the one with tza’arat in the day of his cleansing. He should be brought to the kohen, [a] 3 and the kohen is to go to the outside of the camp. The kohen is to examine him, and behold, if the mark of tza’arat is healed in one with tza’arat, 4 then the kohen is to command that two clean living birds, cedar wood, scarlet and hyssop be brought for the one being cleansed. 5 The kohen should command them to kill one of the birds in a clay pot over living water. 6 As for the living bird, he is to take it, the cedar wood, the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them with the living bird into the blood of the bird that was killed over the living water. 7 He is to sprinkle on the one being cleansed from the tza’arat seven times and pronounce him clean, then release the living bird over the open field.

8 “The one to be cleansed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water. Then he should be clean. After that he may come into the camp, but is to dwell outside his tent for seven days. 9 Then on the seventh day, he is to shave all his hair from his head, his beard, and his eyebrows—he must shave off all his hair. He is to wash his clothes, and bathe his body in water. Then he will be clean.

Scripture: 

2 Kings 7:3-20

Haftarah

3 Now there were four men with tza’arat at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, “Why should we sit here till we die? 4 If we say: ‘Let’s go into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, so we will die there; but if we sit still here, we’ll die also. So come, let’s go into the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we’ll live; and if they kill us, we’ll just die.”

5 So they got up at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans. But when they arrived at the edge of the Aramean camp, behold, no one was there! 6 For Adonai had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots and a noise of horses—indeed a noise of a huge army. So they said one to another, “Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians to assault us.” 7 So they got up and fled at twilight, abandoning their tents, their horses and their donkeys—the entire camp just as it was—and fled for their lives.

8 When these men with tza’arat came to the edge of the camp, they entered into one tent, ate and drank, and took from there silver, gold, and clothes, then went and hid them. Then they returned and went into another tent, and took from there too, and went and hid them. 9 Then they said to each other, “It’s not right, what we’re doing. This day is a day of good news, and we’re keeping silent! If we wait till the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Let’s go now and report to the king’s household.”

10 So they came and called out to the city gatekeepers, and told them, “We went to the camp of the Arameans, and look, there was not a single soul there, no human voice—just the horses and the donkeys tied up, and the tents just as they were.” 11 Then the gatekeepers called out, and it was reported to the royal palace inside.

12 When the king got up in the night, he said to his courtiers, “Let me tell you now what the Arameans have contrived against us. They know that we are hungry, so they went out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we’ll capture them alive and get into the city.’”

Healing Those who Trust

8 When He came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him. 2 And a man with tzara’at came to Him and bowed down before Him, saying, “Master, if You are willing, You can make me clean.”

Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” Immediately his tzara’at was cleansed. 4 And Yeshua said to him, “See that you tell no one; but go show yourself to the kohen and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”[a]

5 Now when Yeshua came into Capernaum, a centurion came begging for help. 6 “Master,” he said, “my servant is lying at home paralyzed, horribly tormented.”

Yeshua said to him, “I’ll come and heal him.”

8 But the centurion said, “Master, I’m not worthy to have You come under my roof. But just say the word and my servant will be healed. 9 For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come!’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”

10 Now when Yeshua heard this, He marveled and said to those who were following, “Amen, I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith!

Mark 1 : 35 – 45

35 Very early, while it was still night, Yeshua got up, left, and went away to a place in the wilderness; and there He was praying. 36 Then Simon and those with him hunted for Yeshua. 37 And when they found Him, they said to Him, “Everybody’s looking for You.”

38 He said to them, “Let’s go somewhere else, to the neighboring towns, so that I may proclaim the message there also—this is what I came for.” 39 And He went throughout all the Galilee, proclaiming the message in their synagogues and driving out demons.

40 A man with tzara’at comes to Him, begging Him and falling on his knees, saying, “If You are willing, You can make me clean.”

41 Moved with compassion, Yeshua stretched out His hand and touched him. He said, “I am willing. Be cleansed.” 42 Immediately, the tzara’at left him, and he was cleansed.

43 Yeshua sent him away at once, sternly warning him. 44 He said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone, but go show yourself to the kohen.[a] Then, for your cleansing, offer what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.” 45 But he went out and began to proclaim and spread the word, so much that Yeshua could no longer enter a town openly but had to stay out in wilderness areas. Still, they kept on coming to Him from everywhere.

Power in His Wings, the Tallit

In today's Christian landscape, there is a growing movement that seeks to rediscover the rich heritage of our faith by delving deep into its origins. 81OXxb88oL. AC CR0000 SX480 SY360 This powerful revival is placing a renewed emphasis on the profound truths found within the original languages of Hebrew and Greek. It is during this time of revival that long-standing barriers are being dismantled and damaging doctrines of replacement theology are being debunked.

One particular aspect that has been overlooked and even pushed aside within Christianity is the significance of the prayer shawl, also known as the tallit. Traditionally, the tallit has played an important role in Jewish worship, symbolizing the commandments of God and serving as a tangible reminder of His presence. However, throughout history, Christianity has gradually moved away from incorporating the prayer shawl into the lives of believers.

Instead, a new emphasis has been placed on the concept of the prayer closet, which is derived from Jesus' teachings on prayer in Matthew 6:6. The prayer closet represents a personal and intimate space where believers can seek God in solitude. While the prayer closet has its value and importance in fostering a deep connection with God, it should not overshadow or replace the significance of the prayer shawl, which was the original wording Jesus used.

One powerful example that highlights the importance of the prayer shawl can be found in the story of the woman with the issue of blood. In Mark 5:25-34, we read about her desperate act of faith as she reached out and touched the hem of Jesus' garment. Instantly, she was healed of her affliction. This miraculous encounter signifies the power and anointing that resides in the garment of Jesus, which includes the symbolism of the prayer shawl.

The revelation that emerges from this story is not only about the healing power of Jesus but also about the significance of our personal tabernacle. Just as the woman with the issue of blood found healing in touching the hem of Jesus' garment, we are invited to enter into a deeper understanding of our own personal tabernacle. It is within this sacred space that we can experience the presence and power of God in our lives.

Sadly, the emphasis on the prayer closet has overshadowed the understanding of our personal tabernacle. The prayer shawl serves as a powerful symbol of our connection with God and our identity as His chosen people. By embracing the significance of the prayer shawl, we reclaim the roots of our faith and reconnect with the rich Jewish customs and traditions that have been stripped away for too long.

It is time to challenge the false notion that Christianity has replaced the Jews as God's chosen people. As we delve deeper into the profound truths of God's Word, as Jesus Himself comprehended and taught it, we gain a more complete understanding of our faith. We recognize the importance of incorporating the prayer shawl, the prayer closet, and the revelation of our personal tabernacle into our spiritual journey.

pastor head kippah2In conclusion, Dr. Jeffery Davidson, in his endorsement of this book, acknowledges Dr. Christiaan de Ruiter's deep understanding of the knowledge of God and his maturing relationship with the Holy Spirit. The author's dedication to writing this book is an outward display of the miraculous in his life, and Dr. Davidson encourages readers to take this book seriously, as it holds the potential to be a transformative and blessing-filled resource. As we rediscover the profound truths of our faith, may we embrace the significance of the prayer shawl and the revelation of our personal tabernacle, leading us to a deeper connection with God and a more authentic expression of our Christian faith.
