P208 Parash 53 HaAzinu D'varim / Deuteronomy32:1- 32:52 Synopsis – The theme of this portion is the nature of the flesh to reject the truth and goodness of Yehovah. Ever since the time of the Garden, the flesh has persistently resisted the truth. The flesh enjoys convenient or self-empowering lies. The flesh cannot accept the truths of Adonai no matter how simple or how obvious. The flesh is so needy and selfish that it simply cannot understand that the Lord loves is in our imperfection. Yehovah loves us even when we rebel. The flesh does not understand that this rebellion and lying is sin. The flesh denies that sin will lead to death instead of power and life. Love is pure power that the flesh cannot comprehend. Love is the power with which Yehovah created the universe. Such power is too awesome for the flesh. To grasp the power of love, the human must rely, not on the senses, but on the heart and in the spirit. The Lord asks each one of us to deny or suspend our flesh and join with Him in the Spirit. In the flesh, Yeshua’s sacrifice seems pointless. The flesh will deny that He lives again at His Father’s right hand. The flesh will deny that Yeshua has been granted all power. Only in the spirit are we able to see the truth – that we are spiritual beings created by God in Heaven. We cannot return to Him in eternal abundant life in Heaven unless we are willing to accept the power of Yeshua’s death and resurrection. Until we are willing to let go of the sinful limited flesh and grab hold of the eternal spiritual blessings of His ways, we will not see nor understand the truth and goodness of Yehovah. |
