SIMCHAT TORAH

JEWISH CELEBRATION OF GOD’S WORD

 

Sundown yesterday concluded the High Holy Days of Rosh Ha Shanah, Day of Atonement, and Sukkot. With that conclusion, today becomes the most jubilant celebration of all called Simchat Torah.

 

The Torah are the first five books of the written word of God; Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Christians call it the “Pentateuch.”

 

Simchat Torah is a great celebration featuring and honoring these five books. The Torah is also what the Jews call “the Law” and is called so in the New Testament. Synagogue worship involves reading through the Torah in full every year. It is divided into segments. A segment is read aloud every week. Members of the congregation are chosen each week to do the reading.

 

This day, Simchat Torah, is the “turn around point” in the year of the readings. They read the last segment of Deuteronomy, then the first segment of Genesis. The seamless transition from the end and back to “in the beginning” make for a continuous unbroken flow of the word of God.

 

As a celebration of the word, all the scrolls are taken out and the people carry them seven times around the sanctuary while dancing (Hava La Gila) and singing.  The children usually lead the procession waving flags or banners inscribed with verses of the Torah or carrying miniature Torah scrolls. As the Torah scrolls pass by, everyone leans in to kiss the scrolls. This ceremony is called “hakafot” which means “march around” (in Hebrew) just as Israel had done at Jericho.

 

The study of the Torah is a never-ending process. The Hebrew term for a great Torah Scholar is “talmid chakham” meaning “wise student.”

 

Some congregations also incorporate candles or large torches as part of their celebration. This is likely an extended variation of Simchat Bet Hash’ayva, the celebration of lights, which acknowledges Messiah as the light of the world.

 

The Simchat Torah is not in the scriptures.  It developed in the Middle Ages among the diaspora as a means of binding the scattered Jewish populations together with customs in common and emphasizing high value upon God’s written Word.

 

What a difference it would make for us if all Christian churches and people placed such high value upon reading and studying the Holy Bible. I do not know of any church or denomination where they read aloud through the whole Bible. Most “professing” Christians have never even read it through one time in their lifetime, much less once a year. 

 

The Word of God is more powerful than any weapon man can devise. Why are we not so devoted to reading it? It is never to late to start. Today, Simchat Torah, is the perfect time to start.

HE THAT HATH AN EAR

 

God doesn’t want us to be in the dark about things. He wants us to know the plans He has for us and wants to lead us by His Spirit. Over and over in the Old Testament and the New Testament God tried to lead His people through the voice of His prophets but they often did not want to hear what they had to say. 

 

When Jesus came on the scene, the Word made flesh, and spoke the religious leaders didn’t want to hear what He had to say either. He often called them “dead men’s bones” or “whited sepulchers.” That wouldn’t be a description of myself that I would want to hear. He brought them truth and they rejected them. Yet, in spite of their rejection He loved them. He yearned to see them change. He wept over Jerusalem knowing they had rejected the only one that could bring them salvation.

 

In the Book of Revelation there are seven churches that a message was to be sent out to. Each one had things that needed to change. Each message given ended with “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.” This leads me to believe that God wants us to “listen” to the Spirit more than just be busy talking. We must take time to get quiet.

 

As a person that is hearing impaired, I often find it difficult to hear what someone says, especially with their back to me. I have to “tune in” and listen harder than most when someone speaks. I don’t want to miss what they are saying. In Revelation it would seem that each of these churches’ candlesticks, which represent their pastors, were hard of hearing. They just weren’t listening to the voice of the Spirit. They fell short in every area because of being dull of hearing.

 

In the days that we are in it is imperative that we become the best listeners ever, because without hearing direction from God we will miss His leading. There are many voices speaking in this hour, but the only way we know who is speaking from God is if we get quiet and seek God ourselves. We must have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying.

 

Don’t fool yourselves into thinking that because you read the bible occasionally that you will know the voice of the Spirit. It comes from studying the word of God daily, not an occasional visit. We must take the time to study daily even in the hustle and bustle of life or we will miss what Holy Spirit is saying. We must pray that pastors and church leaders take the time personally to hear from God. Dry dead sermons come from dry dead works that will be burned up when the Lord comes back. We need to have fresh, new revelations of God’s plan daily. Stale bread never satisfies anyone my friends.

 

Be determined to have an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying. He will never contradict the Word of God. He will guide you into all truth.

A PROPHETIC WARNING

AS GIVEN TO HELEN SANDERS

9-28-2021

 

What would you have me say, saith the Lord? Would you have me say all is well when it is not? Would you have me say that sin is not rampant? For I would day to you that these are as the days of Noah and Sodom and Gomorrah. Oh yes there are more than ten righteous, but the sin has entered my nostrils and I am about to bring a firm hand of discipline upon those that insist on living in sin. For there are many that are in my house that practice these vile things and it must not be so. Just as I drove the money changers out when I walked in Jerusalem, I am about to do a house cleaning that will leave many stripped of all they have. For I would say my house is to be a place that is of me and not the world. It must be a place where one can come and escape the lusts of the world, but it has been turned into something vile. Oh yes, there are those that have stood the test and are still standing, but there are many that have not heeded the warning to clean house. They will be brought down with a single puff of my breath. And they will rise no more. For I have visited them in the night and have spoken to them by my Spirit, but they would not listen and repent. They are bound up in the sins of the flesh, so now I must deal with it. I would say in the hours to come that there will be much shifting and shaking in my house. I would say to you that are under such ones that you must come out from their leadership before you too will suffer the consequences. Oh, some would say it is just a little problem and others would say that what is being done is okay, but I would say that they are wrong, and they shall see the puff of my breath greater than ever before blowing these things down. Come out of them my children and repent for having stayed. Come out from them as Lot came out, and do not look back, for the shifting and shaking will be far greater than you may think. For I am coming back for a bride without spot or blemish. I am coming back for a bride that puts me above all others. I am coming back for a bride that will not forsake me for the things of the world. The hour is at hand my children. Watch and pray that you are not caught up in the things that will be brought down shortly.


God still speaks through his prophets.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


Let me remind you that God is so much bigger and He is certainly greater than any sickness or any situation that you’re now facing. So begin to rehearse in your mind and in your spirit all that God has done for you in the past. Yes, continue to trust God and know that He is more than able to do whatever you need Him to do for you; And what He has done for others...He will most assuredly do for you. If you’ll only look through the pages of God’s Holy Word; You’ll see how perfectly and always right on time our God blessed folks and met their every need. Remember the times how that God healed the sick, raised the dead, made the blind to see, the lame to walk and He made ways out of no way. Look further into your own life and you’ll see that your faith is rising. If a fish had money in it’s mouth so that a tax bill could be paid...If a little boy’s sack lunch fed the multitudes...If the fiery furnace did not stop Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego...If the Red Sea didn't stop Moses...If jealous men and women didn’t stop Deborah from excelling at being a victorious Judge...If Jericho's Wall didn't stop Joshua...If Haman did not stop Esther...If the lions den didn’t stop Daniel...And if death did not stop Jesus. Then I’m telling you that with faith in God absolutely NOTHING can STOP you from receiving everything you need and from doing all you need or want to do. (Luke 1:37) Right there in the midst of whatever sort of hopeless situations you’re in; If you can just dare to believe God for your impossibilities to become possible...Then He will turn all things around for you. Have a faith filled day; As you prepare yourself to walk it out in Jesus Name...With PEACE and VICTORY in your mind...With great JOY in your heart...And a song of PRAISE on your lips. #nothingisimpossibleifUcanonlybelieve
