4 Tevet 5781 Shabbat Miketz (At the end)

Shabbat Miketz
Psalm 69
(0) For the leader. Set to “Lilies.” By David:
2 (1) Save me, God! For the water threatens my life.
3 (2) I am sinking down in the mud, and there is no foothold;
I have come into deep water; the flood is sweeping over me.
4 (3) I am exhausted from crying, my throat is dry and sore,
my eyes are worn out with looking for my God.
5 (4) Those who hate me for no reason outnumber the hairs on my head.
My persecutors are powerful, my enemies accuse me falsely.
Am I expected to return things I didn’t steal?
6 (5) God, you know how foolish I am; my guilt is not hidden from you.
7 (6) Let those who put their hope in you, Adonai Elohim-Tzva’ot,
not be put to shame through me; let those who are seeking you, God of Isra’el,
not be disgraced through me.
8 (7) For your sake I suffer insults, shame covers my face.
9 (8) I am estranged from my brothers, an alien to my mother’s children,
10 (9) because zeal for your house is eating me up, and on me are falling the insults
of those insulting you.
11 (10) I weep bitterly, and I fast, but that too occasions insults.
12 (11) I clothe myself with sackcloth and become an object of scorn,
13 (12) the gossip of those sitting by the town gate, the theme of drunkards’ songs.
14 (13) As for me, Adonai, let my prayer to you come at an acceptable time;
In your great grace, God, answer me with the truth of your salvation.
15 (14) Rescue me from the mud! Don’t let me sink!
Let me be rescued from those who hate me and from the deep water.
16 (15) Don’t let the floodwaters overwhelm me, don’t let the deep swallow me up,
don’t let the pit close its mouth over me.
17 (16) Answer me, Adonai, for your grace is good; in your great mercy, turn to me.
18 (17) Don’t hide your face from your servant, for I am in trouble; answer me quickly.
19 (18) Come near to me, and redeem me; ransom me because of my enemies.
20 (19) You know how I am insulted, shamed and disgraced;
before you stand all my foes.
21 (20) Insults have broken my heart to the point that I could die.
I hoped that someone would show compassion, but nobody did;
and that there would be comforters, but I found none.
22 (21) They put poison in my food; in my thirst, they gave me vinegar to drink.
23 (22) Let their dining table before them become a snare;
when they are at peace, let it become a trap;
24 (23) let their eyes be darkened, so that they can’t see,
and let their bodies always be stumbling.
25 (24) Pour out your fury on them, let your fierce anger overtake them.
26 (25) Let the place where they live be desolate, with no one to live in their tents,
27 (26) for persecuting someone you had already stricken, for adding to the pain of those you wounded.
28 (27) Add guilt to their guilt, don’t let them enter your righteousness.
29 (28) Erase them from the book of life, let them not be written with the righteous.
30 (29) Meanwhile, I am afflicted and hurting; God, let your saving power raise me up.
31 (30) I will praise God’s name with a song and extol him with thanksgiving.
32 (31) This will please Adonai more than a bull, with its horns and hoofs.
33 (32) The afflicted will see it and rejoice; you seeking after God, let your heart revive.
34 (33) For Adonai pays attention to the needy and doesn’t scorn his captive people.
35 (34) Let heaven and earth praise him, the seas and whatever moves in them.
36 (35) For God will save Tziyon, he will build the cities of Y’hudah.
[His people] will settle there and possess it.
37 (36) The descendants of his servants will inherit it, and those who love his name will live there.
Miketz (At the End)
Genesis 41:1–44:17;
“And it came to pass at the end of [miketz] two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed a dream: and, behold, he stood by the river.” (Genesis 41:1)
Avi Yakar,
Glory to YOU alone Adonai! Blessed are YOU faithful GOD and King of the Universe! How thoughtful YOU are Adonai, but I bet it's so hard for YOU to surprise me with every bit of new man I may meet, I always assume they could be the one for me because now, someone just out of the blue contacted me from linked. An account, I almost don't use or check but he sent me a message and suddenly the end of 2 years has come, 2 years after Pastor Michael prophesied here in my house, that I will be married before 2 years come. No I'm not married yet, and I'm also not engaged. We will see how this goes...But I leave all my trust unto YOU Adonai! Toda Raba!
Ba Hashem YESHUA HaMashiach, Amen!Haftarah Mikketz: M’lakhim Alef (1 Kings) 3:15–4:1 ; Zechariah 2:10 (verse 14 in Hebrew Bibles)–4:7; Numbers 28:9-15;
Maftir: Numbers 7:42-47;
B’rit Hadashah suggested reading for Parashah Mikketz: Acts 7:9–16 (specifically vv. 11–12); John 1:1–18
(vii) 30 Then Yosef hurried out, because his feelings toward his brother were so strong that he wanted to cry; he went into his bedroom and there he wept. 31 Then he washed his face and came out, but he controlled himself as he gave the order to serve the meal.
- Humility
Haftarah Mikketz: M’lakhim Alef (1 Kings) 3:15–4:1;
15 Shlomo awoke and found it had been a dream. But he went to Yerushalayim, stood before the ark for the covenant of Adonai and offered up burnt offerings and peace offerings. He also made a feast for all his servants.
28 All Isra’el heard of the decision the king had made and held the king in awe, for they saw that God’s wisdom was in him, enabling him to render justice properly.
1 King Shlomo was king over all Isra’el,
Zechariah 2:10 (verse 14 in Hebrew Bibles)–4:7;
Zechariah 2
10 (6) Up!” says Adonai, “Move! Flee the land of the north! For I scattered you like the four winds of the sky,” says Adonai. 11 (7) “Move, Tziyon! You who are living with the daughter of Bavel, escape!” 12 (8) For Adonai-Tzva’ot has sent me on a glorious mission to the nations that plundered you, and this is what he says: “Anyone who injures you injures the very pupil of my eye. 13 (9) But I will shake my hand over them, and they will be plundered by those who were formerly their slaves.” Then you will know that Adonai-Tzva’ot sent me. 14 (10) “Sing, daughter of Tziyon; rejoice! For, here, I am coming; and I will live among you,” says Adonai. 15 (11) When that time comes, many nations will join themselves to Adonai. “They will be my people, and I will live among you.” Then you will know that it was Adonai-Tzva’ot who sent me to you. 16 (12) Adonai will take possession of Y’hudah as his portion in the holy land, and he will again make Yerushalayim his choice. 17 (13) Be silent, all humanity, before Adonai; for he has been roused from his holy dwelling.’”
Dear Avi,
Wow!!! Hallelujah to YOUR NAME O HOLY ONE of Israel! Every WORD is Rhema! Oh No! It's just like YESHUA, he is coming, and he already let me know he is coming to live among us but... he is not jewish... he's not the one clearly! But I won't close my heart and mind, I will just see how this unfolds... But YOU promised me 11 years he is jewish so he better be!
Zechariah 3
1 Then the angel that had been speaking with me returned and roused me, as if he were waking someone up from being asleep, 2 and asked me, “What do you see?” I answered, “I’ve been looking at a menorah; it’s all of gold, with a bowl at its top, seven lamps on it, and seven tubes leading to the lamps at its top. 3 Next to it are two olive trees, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.” 4 I then asked the angel speaking with me, “What are these, my Lord?” The angel speaking with me said, 5 “Don’t you know what these are?” I said, “No, my Lord.” 6 Then he answered me, “This is the word of Adonai to Z’rubavel: ‘Not by force, and not by power, but by my Spirit,’ says Adonai-Tzva’ot. 7 ‘What are you, you big mountain? Before Z’rubavel you will become a plain; and he will put the capstone in place, as everyone shouts, “It’s beautiful! Beautiful!”’
Dear Avi,
Oh Avi! This word is still rhema, if he is not jewish, I'm closing my doors. Because the other olive trees is a jew-A descendant of Yaakov! And the other one a gentile. But hey! YOU promised me ever since, that it's going to be effortless, it's going to happen by YOUR SPIRIT and so it's not easy or a walk in the park, but it will be fulfilled miraculously!!!
9 “‘On Shabbat offer two male lambs in their first year and without defect,
11 “‘At each Rosh-Hodesh of yours, you are to present a burnt offering to Adonai consisting of two young bulls, one ram and seven male lambs in their first year and without defect;
9 “Now the Patriarchs grew jealous of Yosef and sold him into slavery in Egypt. But Adonai was with him;[a] 10 he rescued him from all his troubles and gave him favor and wisdom before Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who appointed him chief administrator over Egypt and over all his household.[b] 11 Now there came a famine that caused much suffering throughout Egypt and Kena‘an[c] 12 But when Ya‘akov heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. 13 The second time, Yosef revealed his identity to his brothers,[d] and Yosef’s family became known to Pharaoh. 14 Yosef then sent for his father Ya‘akov and all his relatives, seventy-five people. 15 And Ya‘akov went down to Egypt; there he died, as did our other ancestors. 16 Their bodies were removed to Sh’khem and buried in the tomb Avraham had bought from the family of Hamor in Sh’khem for a certain sum of money.
14 The Word became a human being and lived with us, and we saw his Sh’khinah,
the Sh’khinah of the Father’s only Son, full of grace and truth.
15 Yochanan witnessed concerning him when he cried out, “This is the man I was talking about when I said, ‘The one coming after me has come to rank ahead of me, because he existed before me.’”
16 We have all received from his fullness, yes, grace upon grace.
17 For the Torah was given through Moshe; grace and truth came through Yeshua the Messiah.
18 No one has ever seen God; but the only and unique Son, who is identical with God and is at the Father’s side — he has made him known.
