TorahScope
is a reflection on the weekly parashah written by
OIM director Mark Huey. It has been developed to offer a
unique, Messianic perspective on life that is consistent
with the foundational writings of the Torah, also
commonly known as the Pentateuch.
The
Jewish community has developed the consistent
pattern of reading a section of the Torah
(Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers,
Deuteronomy) each week throughout the year. This
is a discipline that most in the Messianic
community have adopted as well. TorahScope takes
these weekly readings, and considers their
relevance for human living today.
The
"scope"
of TorahScope indicates the level, detail, or
perspective of observing and analyzing
life―whether through the telescopic lens of the
world, persiscopic lens of the underworld, or a
microscopic lens that will peer into the heart
and soul of individuals. When you put
"TorahScope"
together, you find a grid or lens that can be
very useful in discerning life and the answers
that many of us seek from God.

Bereisheet
(In the beginning)
Since 2002, Outreach Israel Ministries has been
faithfully offering a commentary on the weekly
Torah portion. Now in 2008, with the strong need
for Messianic Believers to diversify their
Biblical pursuits, we will be offering a short
exhortation on the complimentary Haftarah
reading.
Haftarah
is a Hebrew term known as “conclusion,” and the
Haftarah reading that is connected to the weekly
Torah portion is often a short lesson given from
the Prophets. Some speculate that the tradition
of reading from the Prophets, following the
Torah, arose in circumstances where the Jewish
people were forbidden by the local authorities
to read from the Law. So, sections of the
Prophets were chosen instead, which usually had
a thematic connection to what the Torah portion
of that week would have been, or would somehow
reinforce what the parashah would have
spoken about. For Messianics who want to see
Yeshua “in
the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the
Psalms” (Luke 24:44), the need for us to
consider the weekly Haftarah reading should be
obvious.
It is our fervent prayer
that by expanding your review and contemplation
of complimentary Scriptures from the Prophets
that your walk with the Lord will be further
enlivened. With the Torah serving as our
foundation, the Prophets give us excellent
exhortation to continue in the ways of God.
May these
exhortations from the Haftarah be used by the
Holy Spirit to encourage you to further seek Him
and His righteousness!
