P101 Parash 51 Nitzavim (Standing) D’varim/Deuteronomy 29:9 – 30:20
Synopsis – This is a very short but extremely powerful portion of Adonai’s word.As we are drawing closer to the end of Adonai’s TORAH we truly realize that His word is for the House of Israel but for all those Goyim that would be part of that house. Remember the word TORAH means “TEACHINGS”. Teaching from Adonai for HIS people and those who choose to be grafted in. The Parshah of Nitzavim includes some of the most fundamental principles of those who would be called by His name, set apart as Kadosh (Holy):
The unity of Israel: "You stand today, all of you, before the Lord your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders, your officers, and every Israelite man; your young ones, your wives, the Goyim in your gate; from your wood hewer to your water drawer."
The future redemption: Moshe warns of the exile and desolation of the Land that will result if Israel abandons God's WAY (laws), but then he prophesies that, in the end, "You will return to the Lord your God...
Freedom of choice: "I have set before you life and goodness, and death and evil; in that I command you this day to love God, to walk in His ways and to keep His commandments (Your commitment to Him)... Life and death I have set before you, blessing and curse. And you shall choose life."
