Welcome to this weeks episode of FOOTSTEPS OF THE MESSIAH, for the week of Elul 10 to 16, with Shabbat falling of course on the 16th, just three full weeks from the beginning of this week or two more Shabbats away from ....any guesses...I'm sure you know by know...ROSH HASHANAH!
So this week we will be reading parashat Ki Tavo. This parasha is 122 verses going from Devarim 26:1 to chapter 29: 8. KI TAVO means "When you come" and opens with a description of the Bikkurim ceremony and the declaration of the conclusion of tithing. It ends with all of the blessings that are given by The Almighty for obeying his Torah and the consequential curses that are given for disobedience. This and more on the parasha and then we move to the haftarah, Isaiah 60, the whole chapter, which discusses the redemption and return from exile of the nation of Israel. We see the who, what, when and where about how Israel, and the nations will be redeemed. Isaiah brings them from sorrow to gladness and tells them to ARISE b/c Zion will have a radiant glory and become truly "THE CITY OF THE LORD", verse 14. An interesting note, I don't get into in the broadcast, but I'm not sure how, but the ancient sanctuary will be adorned by the majestic trees of Levanon in v.13.
