Outreach Israel Ministries director Mark
Huey has written Torah commentaries and
reflections that are thought provoking and
very enlightening for Messianic Believers
today.
 TORAHSCOPE,
VOLUME I
Every week in Jewish synagogues the world over,
a selection of a few chapters is considered from
the Torah (the Pentateuch or the Law of Moses).
The discipline of reading the
parashah or
Torah portion on Shabbat (the Sabbath)
has helped maintain the cohesion of the Jewish
people for millennia. As Messianic congregations
have been formed, this tradition is something
which has helped enliven the Bible readings and
studies of those, Jewish Believers and
evangelical Christians embracing their Hebraic
Roots alike, who look to Moses' Teaching to tell
us something about the relationship each of us
is to have with Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ), and how we are to grow in holiness.
What are the benefits of consistently examining
the Torah? What old lessons might need to be
re-learned every year, and what are some new
lessons for God's people to be considering? How
will the Torah form a major part of the emerging
Messianic movement's understanding of the
mission of God, and with what He wants to do
with His people? Will we really be able to
understand the admonition, "The secret things
belong to the LORD our God, but the things
revealed belong to us and to our sons forever,
that we may observe all the words of this law?"
(Deuteronomy 29:29)?
TorahScope, Volume I
is a
compilation of insightful, reflective
commentaries on the weekly Torah readings,
gleaned from the studies and notes of William
Mark Huey. Written from a Messianic perspective,
this volume shares his conviction that a
Believer's life and walk with the Messiah Yeshua
can be viewed through the grid and lens of
consistent Torah study. It provides contemporary
examples of the relevancy of the Torah to all
Messiah followers, and how we are to all be
conformed to His image (Romans 8:29).

 TORAHSCOPE
HAFTARAH EXHORTATIONS
In
Jewish synagogues and Messianic congregations
all over the globe, the weekly Torah portion is
read on the Sabbath. Traditionally associated
with the parashah is a small selection
called the Haftarah, meaning “conclusion.” This
is usually a segment from the Prophets or
Writings of the Tanakh (Old Testament) which
bears a thematic connection to the Torah
reading. While the custom of considering a
prophetic section arose during tenuous times in
Jewish history when the people were forbidden to
study from the Law of Moses, it was something
firmly in place during the time of Yeshua
(Jesus) and the Apostles (Luke 4:16-17; Acts
13:15).
Commonly in some parts of today’s Messianic
community, we tend to forget that the Torah
makes up the foundation of the Holy Writ, but by
no means is the whole of the Holy Writ.
Messianic Believers have a great blessing to
consider the associated text from the Haftarah
every week along with their Torah studies, from
which they can derive additional spiritual
insight and blessings. In consulting
both
the Torah and Haftarah selections
together,
then we can all see the great and mighty acts of
God throughout Biblical history and His
interactions with Israel. We can be especially
more in tune with what it means to see Yeshua
“in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the
Psalms” (Luke 24:44).
TorahScope Haftarah Exhortations
is a compilation of insightful, encouraging
messages that take into consideration the weekly
Torah and Haftarah portions, gleaned from the
studies and notes of William Mark Huey. It is
the author’s sincere hope and desire that his
thoughts will give you key instructions in how
we can be fully used by our Heavenly Father as
faithful vessels for His service today.

APOSTOLIC SCRIPTURES REFLECTIONS
The traditional Jewish discipline of reading the
weekly Torah portion every week, is something
that today’s Messianic Believers surely benefit
from--be they Jewish Believers who are
discovering more about their Messiah from Moses’
Teaching, or
evangelical Christians embracing their Hebraic
Roots in a very real and tangible way. However,
there can be a distinct tendency, at times, for
the Messianic community to focus so much on the
Torah or Law of Moses, that the continued
revelation of God in the rest of the Holy
Scriptures is overlooked. Messianic Believers
have the profound responsibility to recognize
that as important as the Torah is to people of
faith, that the Torah’s goal or consummation is
Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), as our mortal
inability to fully keep the commandments of the
Law is to reveal our need for a Divine Savior
(Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24).
How can today’s Messianic Believers really learn
to appreciate the role that the Torah and the
good news of Yeshua’s salvation play
together, as the Lord molds us into an effective
group that can fully accomplish His purposes? As
many turn to the weekly Torah and Haftarah
readings every week, Messianics have often
associated a selection of key passages from the
Apostolic Scriptures or New Testament. These
either build on a theme detected within the
various
parashot, or they
are intended to add additional details for
consideration.
TorahScope Apostolic
Scriptures Reflections
is a compilation of insightful, encouraging
messages that incorporates information from the
weekly Torah and Haftarah portions, connecting
it to key messages in the New Testament, gleaned
from the studies and notes of William Mark Huey.
It is the author’s intent that we can all allow
the great tapestry of God’s Word to mold us into
men and women who can understand the full
importance of being disciples of the Messiah of
Israel.

 COUNTING
THE OMER:
A DAILY DEVOTIONAL TOWARD SHAVUOT
The seven-week period
between the Biblical festivals of Passover and
Shavuot, or Pentecost, is the season of
Counting the Omer (Leviticus 23:10-16;
Deuteronomy 16:9-11). Originally in the
Tabernacle and Temple of Ancient Israel, the
priests were to present special offerings before
the Lord each day for the fifty-day count. Psalm
67 was among the hymns recited and employed to
offer praise and adoration to Him. Since the
destruction of the Second Temple, various Jewish
traditions have been developed in order to make
the seven-week or fifty-day Omer Count a very
special time to focus on God, His blessings, and
the important themes of Shavuot.
Today’s Messianic
Believers can surely benefit from any discipline
where God’s people can review various Scripture
passages for a set time, and allow themselves to
be prepared for great things when the Feast of
Weeks is finally observed. The awesome wisdom
and goodness of our Heavenly Father are things
definitely worthy of exploration and
contemplation, via a reflection upon the themes
of various Psalms, and how they relate to our
understanding of
Shavuot
and our faith in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus
Christ).
Counting the Omer: A Daily
Devotional Toward Shavuot
is a compilation of insightful, encouraging
messages that examines a passage from Psalms
every day for the fifty-day Omer Count season.
Each exhortation is intended to prepare you for
the commemoration of
Shavuot
(Pentecost) at the end of seven weeks. Gleaned
from the studies and notes of William Mark Huey,
it is the author’s intent that God’s people can
not only be energized to Count the Omer
themselves--but be
specially prepared
to experience His presence when the Feast of
Weeks finally arrives!
