Deuteronomy 31:30 | The Song of Moses


Deuteronomy 32:48 | Moses' Death Foretold

The word Haazinu vnyzah literally means; give ear, an expression meaning
listen to this. It is also the name of the 53rd and second-last reading from the
Torah. It is the first word of the Song of Moses, which begins with the words
Give ear (Haazinu), O heavens, and let me speak. This Torah Portion is only
a single chapter long, and the majority of it consists of the Song of Moses.
The Song of Moses is a prophetic warning to Israel about future apostasy
resulting in the judgments and wrath of YHVH. After the conclusion of the
song, Moses is told to ascend Mount Nebo and overlook the Promised Land
before he dies.

The Voice Walking


Deut 32:1 "Hear, oh heavens, as I speak! Listen, earth, to the words
from my mouth!
Listen is the Hebrew word "shema" ims which means, "to hear and do!"
The word Shama is first found in Scripture in Gen 3:8 where it says; and I
heard the Voice of YHVH walking in the Garden in the cool of the day
Q What does the Voice walking represent? How can a Voice walk?
It can be that the Voice that refers to YHVHs Word and
His Word is Yshua the Messiah personified. It was
Yshua Who was walking in the Garden having
fellowship and relationship with Adam after He created
him. This meaning has to do with speaking the Word
through someones voice.
Secondly, it can mean the voice of YHVH, that He uses
to speak His Word. The purpose of His Word is to
impart wisdom, to give advice and to direct. When you
act on His Voice, it will change your actions and your walk. Then it can imply
that His voice is walking through those who listen to His words. Walk in
Hebrew is the word halechah that not only reveal someones walk, but has a
deeper meaning of describing someones character, the way he conducts
himself and everything he does and says. The Voice of YHVH is there to
change our walk (halechah) so that we can walk like Him, changing your
character so that you can become like Him. This meaning has to do with
speaking the Word through your actions.
1

To achieve this, you need to hear His Voice (Spirit) and have His Word
(Torah) and putting them together; Voice/Spirit + Torah gives Messiah, the
Voice walking.
The word listen or to hear is found in Deut 6:4-9 called the
Shema; "Shema Yisrael, YHWH Eloheinu, YHWH echad." (Hear [and do!] O
Israel, YHWH is our Elohim, YHWH is One."
Moses asked the Havens to be a witness by saying
give ear oh Heavens.
Heaven is the word shamayim ,yms and consists
of two parts shin s that means fire, and mayim

,ym that means water. Water and fire can only exist
together in the spiritual and represent the Presence of
YHVH with the Water being His Word and the Fire
representing His Spirit. In the physical they are two extremes and opposites of
each other; water can put the fire out, and fire can cause water to evaporate
and disappear. The two symbols for Water and Fire are found in the Hebrew
word Shem ,s that is made up of the two letters Shin s (Fire) and Mem

, (water). These two letters make up the word Shem that means Name and
is the basis of the Name our Jewish brothers call YHVH, namely HaShem or
the Name, because the Name of YHVH is holy and they believe it should not
be pronounced. These two symbols are seen throughout the Scriptures and
one is where they represent the Presence of YHVH in the Wilderness; the
Pillar of Cloud (Mem) , and the pillar of Fire (Shin) s, all related to the
heavens (Shamayim) ,yms and YHVHs Presence that bear witness
against Israel.
In Deut 32:1 Moses called the Heavens and the Earth to witness against
Israel. Why? Look at sun moon and stars, they are obedient, they do exactly
what they are created for. The Earth has its seasons and is obedient and
reliable as well, contrary to Israel who is found not to be obedient or reliable.
Israel needs YHVHs Commandments to teach them how to become obedient
as the rest of YHVHs Creation as seen in the Heavens and the Earth.
Deut 32:2 May my teaching fall like rain. May my speech condense
like dew, like light rain on blades of grass, or showers on growing
plants.
Moses starts off in verse 2 Moses is speaking to YHVHs Creation, the
Heavens and the Earth, and tell them to receive his teaching like rain and like
dew that gives life and stimulates growth. This is a beautiful metaphor
describing the Words of YHVH, the TORAH, that is like rain or dew that will
feed and sustain YHVHs people. Torah comes from the root word yarah
that means, to flow as water or to rain, and the essence of Torah is
based on the attributes of water that is needed to sustain YHVHs Creation.

Let's look at a few attributes of water:

Without water there will be no life on the Earth without the


Torah humanity will die out.
Everything alive feeds on water and consists of water your
spirit needs spiritual water which is His Word.
Humans are made up of 70% water You need to spend time in
the Word order to keep your spirit man hydrated and healthy.
The Earth is made up on 70% water.
Water can take on different forms; ice, liquid and steam The
Word takes on three forms; written text, spoken word and
actions.
Water will take on the shape of every hollow surface and fill it the
Word of YHVH is designed to fill every type of person, every nationality
or race, male or female, and every need or hollow place they might
have.
Water will fill or fulfil everything that has a void you have to make
room for the Word to dwell in you, in order to create the space, you
have to get rid of worldliness and things that saturated your life before.
(James 1:21).
Water smooths out any uneven surface with a flat and level surface
every situation in life will be smoothed out and every troubled road full
of pot holes will be made straight and safe to walk on. (Prov 3:6).
Water is used to wash and to clean objects, animals and humans we
cleanse ourselves with the washing of the water of the Word, becoming
Holy unto Him. (Eph 5:26).
Water flows downwards, will only reach those who lower or humble
themselves before His Word in order to drink from it. (Psa 25:8-9).
Humans and animals can drown and die in water the Word
is dangerous, if you do not give it out, you will accumulate
knowledge of the Word that will drown you.
Water sustains life and can save Water from a rock in
Wilderness.
Water can destroy and judge Noahs Flood
Water has enormous power and can destroy and kill storms, ocean waves, floods and hail the Word will be used as the
standard by which YHVH will judge the earth at the end of time.

We see that the Torah gives life and the Torah can destroy and the Torah is
YHVHs standard by which He will judge His Creation. Handle His Torah with
care and respect His Word so that you can draw the life from it without being
destroyed, not using it illegitimately. (2 Pet 3:16)

The Song of the Sea & The Song of Moses


We find the Song of Moses in Deuteronomy 32 as well as in Exodus 15,
where it is known as the Song of the Red Sea. Comparing these two songs
gives us insight into what the intent of these songs is:

SONG OF MOSES AT THE RED SEA

SONG OF MOSES AT THE JORDAN

They left Egypt then crossed the Red sea They left Wilderness then crossed the
Jordan
Sung after leaving Egypt (Bondage)
Sung 40 years later after leaving one
behind external enemy
Generation (Rebels) behind internal
enemy
Destroyed physical bondage
Destroyed spiritual bondage
Red sea symbolises Baptism / Salvation
Jordan signifies Baptism / Judgement
They sang about their Salvation
They sang about YHVHs Doctrine and
Yeshua
Truth & Judgement
They sang about YHVHs grace and
They sang about YHVHs judgements
salvation.
They sang about the God of their Fathers They sang about YHVH as their Father.
They sang about YHVH as a Man of
They sang about YHVH as a Rock
War.
YHVHs Name used 13 times. 13 =
YHVHs Name used 9 times. 9 =
Echad (One) = Ahavah (Love)
Promises

They sang the first song of Moses at the Red Sea. Red Sea is the Hebrew
word Yum Suph. Red or suph [vc that means; woolly kind of sea-weed,
which the sea casts up in great abundance on its shores. It also means flag,
reed and papyrus. Suph is first used in Scripture in Exo 2:3 where Moses
mother hid him in a basket in the Nile and put a flag (suph) by his basket as
a sign or banner so that his sister could keep an eye on him. Interestingly
enough, it was Moses who wrote the Torah, and papyrus (suph) is used to
make paper that the Scriptures is written and printed on. The Red sea also
symbolises Israels liberation from Pharaohs power and the submission to
YHVHs authority and power through receiving the Ten Commandments and
the Torah.
They sang the second song of Moses at the Jordan. Jordan ]dry comes
from the root verb yarad dry is a very common verb expressing a
downward motion: to decline, descend or to go down towards some lower
location or to sink into something. It's used in all expected ways, from going
down a mountain (Exodus 19:14) to the falling of hail (Exodus 9:18)
representing YHVHs judgement. Coming from the mountain symbolises
coming from YHVHs presence and is humility by choice. Hail coming down
depicts YHVHs judgement and is humility by force.
We see from these two locations where these songs are sung, that the Red
Sea has to do with Salvation or Yshua, and the Jordan has to do with YHVHs
Judgement in order to humble YHVHs people. The Red Sea
has to do with the First Coming of Messiah, the Suffering
Servant, Messiah ben Yoseph, Who gave His Blood for our
sins, and the Jordan has to do With His Second Coming as
Messiah ben David, where He will come as the Judge and
King.
The first Song of Moses or Song of the Sea is written in the
Torah Scroll arraigned columns, starting with one column prior
to the song and then every line from there it is written in three
4

columns and then two and then three again till the end of the song.
The text, when you look at it, looks like staggered bricks or layers of a brick
wall. Why? YHVH piled up the waters of the Red Sea like a wall on each side
so that the Israelites can pass through. Yshua is the Way (walls that direct
and protect) the Truth and the Life that leads to the Father.
The Song of Moses in Deuteronomy is different; it is
written in only two columns a path in the middle of the
text, similar to the path through the Jordan pointing to
Messiah again. Each verse is divided into two columns
with the spiritual thought on the right and the physical
thought on the left.
The beginning of Exodus 15 can be read directly after
Deuteronomy 31 without noticing a change in the
passage because it shares the same themes and thoughts. These two songs
can be connected in a loop and when reading together, has no beginning or
end, joining the Aleph and the Tav (Messiah) ta.
The same can be done with the Book of Deuteronomy and the book of
Genesis, where the two can be connected and read in a loop; in the sight
of all Israel in the beginning Elohim created the heavens and the earth.
Something else that is interesting confirming this loop is that the last word in
Deuteronomy, (Israel) ends with a Lamed l and first word in Genesis
(Beresheet), begins with a Beit b Both the Lamed and the Beit are
oversized letters in the Torah and when put together, spells the word Lav

bl that means heart. The Lamed l means learning, and the Beit b
means house; this means that we learn the Father's heart and how to live as
children in His House from all the words contained in this Torah (Gen Deut).

YHVH is the Rock of Salvation and Rock of


Judgment
YHVHs Name appears nine times in this Parashah and YHVH is referred
to as the Rock (Hatzur), nine times in the Song of Moses. One of the
names of YHVH is Tzur Yisrael; that means solid, unchangeable,
immovable, and a safe place of refuge for the people of Israel.
Rock of Salvation: We are told that our Israelite ancestors all drank
from the same spiritual rock; the Rock which accompanied them
through the Wilderness. This Rock was the Rock of Salvation, better
known as Yshua the Messiah.
1 Cor 10:1-5 Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware
that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the
sea, 2 all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, 3 all ate
the same spiritual food, 4 and all drank the same spiritual drink. For
they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was
Messiah. 5 But with most of them YHVH was not well pleased, for their
bodies were scattered in the wilderness.

Rock of Judgment: Then there is the Rock of


righteousness and judgement referred to in the Song
of Moses.
Deut 32:4 He is the Rock, His work is perfect;
For all His ways are justice, A Elohim of truth
and without injustice; Righteous and
upright is He.
This is the Rock that Whos work is perfect, work of
righteousness and judgement.
Q - Who does this Rock represent?
Rock is the word tzur rvo that means stone. Tzur comes from the root word
tzur that means, adversary, assault, beset, besiege, bind (up), cast, distress,
fortify, in close, lay siege. It is first used in Scripture in Exo 23:22 where it
says that if you obey the Voice of YHVH then He will become an Enemy to
your enemies and an Adversary to your adversaries (tzur). Rock is related to
Stone that is the word eben ]ba in Hebrew that is used in Dan 2:24 to
describe the Stone that will destroy the Image representing the kingdoms of
the earth. Eben is made up by combining two words; Av ba, meaning
Father and Ben ]b meaning Son. Stone is the Rock that is the combination
of Father and Son representing YHVHs Righteousness that execute His
Judgments in order to destroy His enemies so that He can establish His
Kingship and Kingdom. This is what the Song of Moses is all about.
We found the Rock of Grace and Salvation in the Wilderness, and we find the
Rock of His Righteousness and Judgment at the Promised Land, prior to
entering the Land. This place the Song of Moses in the timeframe of events
relating to the Second Coming of Messiah where YHVHs Rock of
Righteousness and Judgement will cleanse the Earth from His enemies.

YHVH Sighing
Verse 6 begins with an oversized Hey

h that that does not make out any part of


a word.
Q - What does this Hey mean?
The hey represents the sound of breath, and some Rabbis say it is YHVH
sighing.
Deut 32:6 Do you thus deal with YHVH, O foolish and unwise people?
Is He not your Father, who bought you? Has He not made you and
established you?
This is the first place in Scripture where YHVH is referred to as the Father of
Israel. As a loving Father, YHVH protected them, gave them an education and
disciplined them, as described in verses 10 -12.
6

Deut 32:10-12 He found him (Israel) in a desert land And in the


wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him (Israel), He
instructed him (Israel), He kept him (Israel) as the apple of His eye.
11 As an eagle stirs up its nest, Hovers over its young, Spreading out its
wings, taking them up, Carrying them on its wings, 12 So YHVH alone
led him (Israel), And there was no foreign god with him (Israel).
Q Why did YHVH sigh?
As a Righteous God, He could have destroyed them and
start over. But as a loving Father He decided to be patient,
take the time to work with them in order to establish a people
for Himself so that they will be changed according to His Will
through His Word. His Commandments is the Standard or
measuring stick that will reveal what they are like if they
became like Him or not. YHVH calls them foolish and
unwise, and this proofs that He saw them as immature
children, who regularly test His boundaries through
disobedience. The sigh indicated that the Father took a deep
breath and then start all over again until they were formed
into mature people whom could be used by Him. We are
similar to Israel, and we continually test our Fathers patience through our
disobedience and disunity within the Body. May He keep on sighing and have
patience and grace upon us.

Bought or Birthed
Deut 32:6 Do you thus deal with YHVH, O foolish and unwise people?
Is He not your Father, who bought you? Has He not made you and
established you?
It says that YHVH bought Israel, we never read anywhere that such a
transaction ever took place.
Q How did YHVH purchase Israel?
Bought is the word khanah hnq that means to buy, to own, to
erect, to create. To understand what this means we have to go back
and find where it is used first, and that is in Gen 1:4 where it says that
Adam knew (yada) his wife and she bore him a son Cain and said;
this day I have gotten (khanah) a man from YHVH.
This means that Cain was the first human created by Adam and
Eve. Adam became the first father and Cain became the first human being
that was born on this earth. In the same way, YHVH knew (yada) Moses and
birthed or created Israel, that was the first nation (child) from YHVH, that
was born into this earth. Then YHVH said; THIS DAY you have become the
people of YHVH YOUR ELOHIM (Deut 27:9). This day was the day they
crossed over and became Hebrews just like their Father YHVH. From this
time YHVH refers to Himself as the Father of Israel (Deut 32:6).
Adam knew yada idy Chava (Eve) and the word knowing describes
intimacy within a marriage relationship. It also means to know and have a
knowledge of the other person no one else knows.
7

In the same way, Moses had an intimate relationship with YHVH, knowing
(yada) Him and through this intimate relationship with the Father, the nation of
Israel was born.
Q - How do we become children of YHVH?
Personal Application: We become children of the Father through adoption.
Adoption takes place through being grafted into the Olive tree, into the Family
of YHVH that already exist as the nation or children of YHVH. (Rom 11:2324). This grafting in process happens through receiving the Spirit Whom the
Father give to those He accepted in through His Covenant and Blood of
Messiah. This process is known as being born again, just like Israel was
born as the first nation of YHVH, so are we born into the family of YHVH and
become part of that same nation called Israel (Righteous people of Elohim).
Rom 8:15 For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear
again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we
cry out, "Abba! Father!"
For you to have spiritual offspring, bringing new people
into the Kingdom, you have to be regenerated by the
Spirit of YHVH and have an intimate relationship with the
Father, then you will be able to produce new children
into the Kingdom, just like Moses did, who will become
part of the Family and nation of YHVH. Being a mature
follower of Messiah will allow you to be part of this
creation process where new men and new women
are born into the Kingdom of YHVH, saying the same words Adam did; this
day I have gotten (khanah) a man or woman from YHVH.

The Song of Moses & The Song of the Lamb


END TIME CONTEXT
When we look at the Torah, we start at Genesis and end in
Deuteronomy. When we look at the whole Scripture, we start
at Genesis and end in Revelation, making Deuteronomy and
Revelation the End-Time-Books with similar messages
regarding the end times and YHVHs Judgements. This is
clearly seen in the passage in Rev 15:3 where they sang the
Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb together.
Rev 15:3-4 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God,
and the song of the Lamb, saying: Great and marvellous are
Your works, Lord God Almighty! Just and true are Your ways,
O King of the saints! 4 Who shall not fear You, O Lord, and
glorify Your name? For You alone are holy. For all nations
shall come and worship before You, For Your judgments have
been manifested.

THE STRUCTURE OF THIS SONG

In Hebrew, right means


spiritual and left means
physical. Right symbolises
things that comes from
YHVH and left is symbolic of
earthly fleshly things.

The Song of Moses is written in two columns with the


Spiritual thoughts on the Right and the Physical thoughts
on the Left. Something strange happens after verse 15,
the order is reversed, and the Spiritual thoughts move to
the Left and the Physical thoughts move to the right. This
starts at verse 16 and ends in verse 38 were after the
order returns back to what it was before again. Here is a summary of these
sections:
Right to Left - YHVHs Order
V1-4: YHVHs Word is like water and dew Praising YHVH.
V5-6: He talks about a crooked Generation and foolish children
V7-14: He Reminds them of the Old Days in the Wilderness where
YHVH blessed them and looked after them. How He carried
them on His wings like an Eagle and how blessed they were.
V15:

He reveals Jeshurans fatness, his obesity, forsaking YHVH and scoring


against the Rock of Salvation. YHVH uses this imagery to describe what
Israel is doing and has become.

Jeshurun comes from rsy (yasar) that means, to be level, straight, upright, happy.
It is used in a negative sense in Isa 3:12 where the straight ones are led astray.
YHVHs people, Yesuran, (Israel, the Straight ones of Elohim) became fat with
worldliness and had gone astray, changing the order of YHVH, Right-to-Left, to Leftto-Right, placing the things of the world (Left) above and of more importance than the
things of YHVH (Right). This change of order led to YHVH Judgements found in
verses 16-38.

Left Right (order changed) - Mans Order


V16-38:

Reveals their foreign gods and how they angered YHVH.


They forgot Him as their Father, not fearing Him anymore.
YHVH hid His face from them
They have become a perverse Nation with no faith
They worshipped idols.
YHVHs Fire is kindled against them, and He will consume the Earth and set
the Mountains alight.
He will send disasters upon them, terror within their camps with destruction.
They received not His counsel and had no understanding.
They drank from the bitter, venomous vines of Sodom and ate of the Fields of
Gomorrah whom YHVH Judged severely.
YHVH will Judge His people; calamity is at hand and vengeance is His.
YHVH will have compassion on His Servants in the midst of these
Judgements.

YHVHs Order Restored - Right Left Order


V39: Praising YHVH saying there is no other god but
YHVH, proclaiming His victory and Atonement (Kippur) for
His Land and His People.

The Song of Judgment


The Song of Moses was first written down (Deut 31:19), and later on, Moses
read it in the presence of the people of Israel (Deut 31:30). Then Moses
commandment Israel to teach this song to their children so hat t they could
obey the words of this song, (Deut 32:44). It was as if this song is treated as a
Commandment, first written down, then read before the Congregation, and
then taught to the generations to come, but there is something missing.
Q What is missing in this passage?
We never find in Scripture that they actually sang this song like they did with
the Song they sang at the Red Sea.
Q - What do you need to sing a song, once you have the words?
You need a melody. The Song of Moses gave us the lyrics, but the melody is
missing. The melody of a song gives it its energy and soul, expressing the
words with beautiful musical tones and rhythm.
Q Where do we find the Melody?
Deut 32:39-43 Now see that I, even I, am He, and there is no God
besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there
any who can deliver from My hand. 40 For I raise My hand to heaven,
and say, As I live forever, 41 If I whet My glittering sword, and My
hand takes hold on judgment, I will render vengeance to My enemies,
And repay those who hate Me. 42 I will make My arrows drunk with
blood, and My sword shall devour flesh, with the blood of the slain and
the captives, from the heads of the leaders of the enemy. 43 Rejoice, O
Gentiles, with His people; For He will avenge the blood of His servants,
and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement
for His land and His people.
Verses 39 to 43 reveals to us the Judgements contained in this Song, talking
about the arrows of YHVH that are drunk with blood, and His sword will
devour flesh. Verse 43 says rejoice, O Gentiles with His People as in singing
a song of praise unto YHVH for the victorious work He has done. With the
sword being the Word or words of YHVH, are the arrows and bows
symbolising the instruments making the melody they are to rejoice to? We
find reference to the Song of Moses in Rev 15 that highlights the instruments
that will make the melody to sing to:
Rev 15:1-4 Then I saw another sign in heaven,
great and marvellous: seven angels having the
seven last plagues, for in them the wrath of Elohim
is complete. 2 And I saw something like a sea of
glass mingled with fire, and those who have the
victory over the beast, over his image and over his
mark and over the number of his name, standing
on the sea of glass, having harps of Elohim. 3 They
sing the song of Moses, the servant of Elohim, and the song of the
Lamb, saying:

10

Great and marvellous are Your works, YHVH, Elohim,


Adonai! Just and true are Your ways, O King of the saints!
4 Who shall not fear You, O YHVH, and glorify Your Name?
For You alone are holy. For all nations shall come and
worship before You, For Your judgments have been
manifested.
Rev 15 verse 2 talks about the harps that are being played while the
song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb are being sung. Deut 32 verse
42 talks about Arrows that are made drunk with blood and His Sword
that have devoured the flesh His enemies.
Arrows are shot from a stringed weapon, and a Harp is a stringed
instrument that makes a melody. The Sword is a symbol of YHVHs
Word (His words) which are the words to be sung to the tune of the
melody of the harps (arrows). The Song of Moses in Deuteronomy provides
the words to be sung and the Song of the Lamb in Revelation, contains the
instruments and the melody.
The melody of a song is the energy and the spiritual component carrying the
words declaring YHVHs judgements. The melody represents the Spirit, and
combined with the Words gives the two elements that are required to allow
the Creation or re-creation process to be made complete. This is the same
thought, similar to when YHVH created the heavens and the earth, where
some believe that YHVH sang the universe into existence, through His Word
and the power of His Spirit (melody). This song is still being sung to sustain
everything He created as well as to restore His creation back to its original
intent. The moment this creation song stops, everything will
collapse and cease to exist, returning back to chaos.
We read in Revelation that YHVH allows the Singers to sing His
judgements over the earth, and as these words (swords and
arrows) goes out as judgements against those things that are
contrary to His Plan and Purpose. These arrows and swords go
out to destroy YHVHs enemies and then restore His Creation, all
of this contained in the Song of Moses.

Words vs. Melody


A Song without a Melody is like someone who sings the song being tone deaf
not a soul-moving experience. The Song of Moses without the Song of the
Lamb sounds similar to that. Singing a song out of tune can be compared to
people following Torah without Messiah; they know the words but dont have
the Melody (Messiah - Spirit) or just cants sing.
On the other hand, you might have the melody but do not know the words to
the song. This can be compared to people or believers in Messiah who can
sing and have the Melody (Messiah - Holy Spirit), but do not know the words
(Torah), only humming the tune, filling the voids where the words should have
been with la-la-la sounds, making the song powerless and the re-creation
process ineffective in their lives.
Q Which song are you singing?

11

Singing YHVHs Song of Victory


Personal Application: There are two Songs of Moses,
the one at the Red sea and the one at the Jordan. The
one is a song of victory and salvation, and the other is a
song of judgement and condemnation. When you go
through tough times, which of the two songs are you
singing? Are you singing the second Song of Moses that
confirms the predicament you are in and that you deserve
all these judgements, being condemned because of your
past sins? Or do you believe you are forgiven, singing the first Song of Moses;
proclaiming His victory over the situation, praising Him for the outcome and
His salvation?
Acts 16:25-26 But about midnight Paul and Silas were praying and
singing hymns of praise to YHVH, and the prisoners were listening to
them; 26 and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the
foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the
doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.
YHVH will shake the foundations of your problems and break every chain of
bondage when you praise Him in the midst of a bad situations that imprison
you. David wrote the most beautiful Psalms when He was in his darkest hour
and so must we, praise YHVH in the times we feel low and everything is
against us. The power and authority is in your mouth, all you have to do is to
sing in harmony with His Song of Creation, proclaiming victory over your life,
so that YHVH can restore you as He restores His Creation.

B'rit Hadasha Reading:

Romans 10:14-21 and 12:14-21.

Did they not Hear? But not all


Obeyed the Gospel by Michael Kapsis
Rom 10:13-21 KJVII For everyone whoever
calls on the name of (the) Lord will be saved, How
then may they call on (One) in whom they have
not believed? And how may they believe (One) of
whom they have not heard? And how may they
hear without preaching? And how may they preach if they are
not sent? Even as it has been written: How beautiful the feet of
those preaching the gospel of peace, of those preaching the gospel
of good things. But not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says,
Lord, who has believed our report?. Then faith (is) of Hearing,
and Hearing By Gods word (rhematos). But I say, Did
they not hear? Yes, rather, into all the earth went out their voice,
and to the ends of the world their words. But I say, Did not Israel
know? First, Moses says, I will provoke you to jealousy by a
nation; by an unwise asineto nation ethni I
will anger you. But Isaiah (is) very bold and says, I was found
by those not seeking Me; I became manifest to those not inquiring
after Me. But to Israel He says, All the day I stretched my hands
to a disobeying and contradicting people.

PEACE and GOOD THINGS are the substance of the GOSPEL (Rom
10:15) where YHVH places His claim to PAS YA OS AN)
EVERYONE FOR WHOEVER call on His Name (Rom 10:13), and
blessed are they that DO His Commandments (Rev 22:14). In regards to
the nation of Israel not all obeyed the gospel (Rom 10:16, Isa 53:1), the
report which they did hear. Now the fulfilment of the gospel is through
Yshua Messiah, having become a High Priest of the future GOOD
THINGS (Heb 9:11) and everyone for whoever calls on the Name of (the)
Lord (YHVH) will be saved (Rom 10:13, Joel 2:32). This places the
requirement on us not only to Believe on YHVHs Son alone, but also to
accept, obey and perform those things by YHVHs Rhematos
Word without contradiction and disobedience (Rom 10:21).

Word is the English for the term; rhematos that comes from

the root word rhema which is commonly defined as the practical


living word or by others as the living word, but more accurately, the
term rhema, applies to a statement, a saying or a certain matter
which has impact.
Example: Word or rhema, can be associated to a charge or an
accusation (Mt 5:11; 18:16; 27:14; 2 Cor 13:1). The term is also associated
to a prediction or prophecy (2Pet 3:2; Jude 1:17; Rev 17:17), a promise (Lk
2:29; Heb 6:5), a command (Mt 4:4; Lk 4:4). And there are many more
passages where a rhema word statement has implications
involving action.
In the same respect, there are consequences for us, if we speak
a rhema word and do not keep it;
Mt 12:36 But I say to you, that every idle word (/ rhema),
whatever men may speak, they shall give an account of it in
(the) day of judgement.
There are consequences for not abiding by Gods Rhematos
with a very real and severe outcome to be expected;
Heb.10:26-27 For (if) we (are) willfully sinning after
receiving the knowledgeepignosin / full
knowledge of the truth, there remains no more a sacrifice for
sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgement and zealous
fire being about to consume the adversaries,
Not only that, but our lives depend on every word (/
rhemati) which YHVH has spoken;
MT 4:3-4 And having come to Him, the Tempter said, If you
are (the) Son of God, speak that these stones may become
loaves. But answering He said, It has been written, Man shall
not live by bread alone, but by every word (/ rhemati)
going out from the mouth of God. (Deut 8:3)

We have this confidence in Messiah Yshua, that He did not come to annul
the Law (Torah / His Word) and the Prophets but to fulfil (Mt 5:17) and in
no way shall one iota or point pass away from the Law (Torah), until all
things occur.
We need to strive to be accepted as being called great in the kingdom of
Heaven. We need to practice what we hear by YHVHs Word rhematos
and teach what we practice. Righteousness needs to abound far beyond
the righteousness of our adversaries and YHVHs Rhema Word will not fail
when we enter into the Kingdom of the Heavens ton
Ouranous of theHeavens). (Mt 5:18)

Conclusion
Just like Moses addressed YHVHs Creation to listen to YHVHs Voice and
to give ear to His Word, so will faith be created through His Words that
are spoken over us. This Word contains Promise and Prophecy, that
reveals YHVHs Plan, it contains Commandments, that contain His wisdom
and creative power. His Rhema Word has implications that requires action,
which gives you direction and change your walk, it contains a charge or
accusation, upholding His standards by which He will judge and rule. This
Rhema Word, or living Word is the same Word that was spoken to create
the Heavens and the Earth, and is the same Living Word or Voice of YHVH,
known as Yshua the Messiah.
