Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. This four and final teaching in this series is about "Hearing & Discerning the Prophetic Voice of the Shofar," from the double portion of Parashat Matot-Masei מַּטּוֹת-מַסְעֵי, in Numbers 30:2-36:13. Isaiah 58:1 “Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your VOICE like a SHOFAR. Tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. TLV Hebrew for voice is “kol” קוֹל: voice, sound; from an unused root meaning to call aloud; THAYER’S GREEK DICTIONARY: phōnḗ φωνή - to shine, make clear, from Homer down, Hebrew “kol” קוֹל: voice, sound Genesis 3:8 They heard the VOICE of Adonai, God, walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze [“ru’ach hayom” רוּחַ הַיֹּום “wind, breath, or spirit of the day”]...10 He answered, “I heard your VOICE in the garden.. CJB 1. THE PROPHETIC SOUND OF THE SHOFAR REVEALS THE VOICE OF GOD Ram’s Horn - shofar or shofarot שׁוֹפָרוֹת a cornet (as giving a clear sound) or curved horn:—cornet, trumpet. Exodus 19:19 When the sound of the shofar grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him with a thunderous sound. TLV Exodus 20:18 ...the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it...TLV MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 12:19 and to the blast of a shofar and a voice whose words made those who heard it beg that not another word be spoken to them...TLV Leviticus 23:24 ...a memorial of blowing shofarot [“zikaron t’ruah”], a holy convocation. TLV Leviticus 25:9 Then on the tenth day of the seventh month, on Yom Kippur, you are to sound a shofar blast...10 ...proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. ...11 That fiftieth year will be your Jubilee... TLV Yoram Ettinger says that the word shofar has its root in the Hebrew word for enhancement and improvement [le’shaper לְשַׁפֵּר - to improve] 2. THE PROPHETIC SOUND OF THE SHOFAR REMINDS US OF GOD’S CALL TO REPENT AND IMPROVE Like in Rosh Hashanah ["Feast of Trumpets"]...year of the Jubilee. ...The Hebrew spelling of shofar, שופר, is a derivative of the verb שפר, which means to enhance — an unending, uphill effort (sometimes, against all odds) for improvement. There are three main types of shofar blasts — tekiah, shevarim and t’ruah. There is actually a fourth type, tekiah gedolah, which is just a longer version of the fiest type of blast, called tekiah. Tekiah - Long blast to summon us for a coming groom, coming king, or for the coronation ceremony of a king. Shevarim - means “breaks” or “fractures” which are three medium-length shofar blasts resembling the sound of weeping, as a call of teshuvah, to return to God, in complete repentance. T’ruah - a series of very short, staccato blasts that have been compared to an urgent alarm, calling us to awaken from a spiritual slumber Mishneh Torah - Laws concerning the Shofar: Although the sounding of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah is a Torah decree, there is an allusion in it as well. It says: “Be roused, sleepers, from your sleep, and slumberers, wake from your slumber; search your deeds [“examine your conduct”] and return in teshuvah [or “repentance”], and remember your Creator! Mishneh Torah, Laws of Teshuvah, 3:4 Recite before Me on Rosh HaShanah verses that mention Kingship, Remembrances, and Shofarot: Kingships...as King over you; Remembrances...with what will the remembrance rise?...with the sound of the shofar. - Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a Revelation 1:10 I was in the Ruach [Spirit] on the Day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud VOICE like that of a trumpet. TLV Ezekiel 3:12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a VOICE of a great rushing... Horn of the Jubilee - keren hayovel; Trumpet / Cornet - chatzotzerot חֲצֹצְרָה ; Greek: salpigx σάλπιγξ Numbers 10:1 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver for yourself. They are for summoning the community and having the camps set out...5 When you sound the trumpet the first time, the camp of those camped on the east is to set out... TLV a. Prophetic Leaders are First-Responders to the Prophetic Voice of God. b. Prophetic Leaders are Congregational Gatherers that assist God’s People to discern His Voice. Prophetic People are Positioned to Hear, yet Prepared to Move at the Sound of God’s Voice. Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, ..31 He will send out His angels with a great shofar, and they will gather together His chosen ..TLV 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the blast of God’s shofar, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first.” TLV 3.

Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. This third teaching in this series is about "Testing the Spirit and Validity of Prophecy" from Parashat Pinchas פִּינְחָס, in Numbers 25:10-30:1. Numbers 25:10 Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the kohen has turned away My anger from Bnei-Yisrael because he was very zealous for Me among them, so that I did not put an end to Bnei-Yisrael in My zeal...16 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 17 “Deal with the Midianites as enemies and strike them. 18 For they have been enemies to you in their DECEPTIONS of you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite prince, their sister who was slain on the day of the PLAGUE on account of the Peor incident.” TLV 1 John 4:1 Loved ones, do not believe every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS to see if they are from God. For many FALSE PROPHETS have gone out into the world. 2 You know the Ruach Elohim by this—every spirit that acknowledges that Messiah Yeshua has come in human flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from God. This is the spirit of the ANTI-MESSIAH [or the “FALSE MESSIAH”], which you have heard is coming and now is already in the world...6...By this we know the SPIRIT OF TRUTH and the SPIRIT OF ERROR. TLV Revelation 19:10b...WORSHIP GOD! For the TESTIMONY OF YESHUA is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.” TLV THE GUIDELINES OF PROPHECY: D’VARIM / Deuteronomy 13:1 (12:32) “Whatever I command you, you must take care to do—you are not to add to it or take away from it. 2 “Suppose a prophet or a dreamer of dreams rises up among you and gives you a sign or wonder, ...4 You must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams—for Adonai your God is TESTING you, to find out whether you love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 5 Adonai your God you will follow and Him you will fear. His mitzvot you will keep, to His voice you will listen, Him you will serve and to Him you will cling.TLV MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 5:12 For although you ought to be teachers by this time, again you need someone to teach you the basics of God’s sayings [KJV: “first principles of the ORACLES of God”]. You have come to need milk, not solid food. 13 For anyone living on milk is inexperienced with the teaching about righteousness—he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who through practice have their senses trained to DISCERN both GOOD and EVIL. TLV Acts 7:37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a PROPHET like me from your brethren.’ 38 ...he received LIVING ORACLES [of the Torah] to pass on to you. NASV 1. PROPHECY MUST BE TESTED BY THE GUIDELINES OF THE TORAH THE GUARDRAILS OF PROPHECY: KEFA BET / 2 Peter 2:1 But FALSE PROPHETS also arose among the people, just as there will also be FALSE TEACHERS among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies...15 They have abandoned the STRAIGHT WAY. They have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor...18...they ENTICE in sensual fleshly passions those who are barely escaping from those who live in ERROR. TLV Jude 1:11 Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain; they were consumed for pay in Balaam’s ERROR; and in Korah’s rebellion they have been destroyed. TLV B’MIDBAR / Numbers 25:1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the people began to have immoral sexual relations with women from Moab. 2 Then they invited the people to the SACRIFICES OF THEIR GODS, so the people were eating, and BOWING DOWN before their gods. 3 When Israel became bound to Baal of Peor, the anger of Adonai grew hot against Israel. TLV 2. PROPHECY IS VALIDATED AS TRUTH BY THE GUARDRAILS OF THE TORAH THE GOAL OF PROPHECY: 1 Corinthians 14:3...someone prophesying is speaking to people, EDIFYING, ENCOURAGING and COMFORTING them...12 Likewise with you: since you eagerly seek the things of the Spirit, seek especially what will help in EDIFYING the congregation. CJB The charismatic manifestation gift of prophecy has a threefold goal: TO EDIFY - Prophecy should build you up and not tear you down TO ENCOURAGE - Prophecy should encourage you up and not discourage you TO COMFORT - Prophecy should comfort you and not cause discomfort MATTITYAHU / Matthew 7:15 “Watch out for FALSE PROPHETS...22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, and drive out demons in Your name, and perform many miracles in Your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’” TLV Revelation 19:10b...WORSHIP GOD! For the TESTIMONY OF YESHUA is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.” TLV 3. PROPHECY MUST TESTIFY OF THE MESSIAH AS THE GOAL OF THE TORAH

Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. This second teaching in this series is about "Revealing the Mystery of Prophecy" from Parashat Balak בלק, in Numbers 22:2-25:9. Numbers 22:2 When Balak son of Zippor, realized all that Bnei-Yisrael had done to the Amorites, 3 Moab became terrified because there were so many people. Moab was filled with dread because of Bnei-Yisrael. TLV Numbers 22:4 Moab said to the elders of Midian, “The multitude will lick up everything around us like the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Now Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. 5 He sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor, at Pethor near the River in his native land, saying to him, “Look now, a people has come out of Egypt. See now, they cover the surface of the earth and are settling beside me. TLV Genesis 36:1 Now these are the genealogies of Esau (that is, Edom)…15 These are the chiefs from Esau’s sons. The sons of Eliphaz, Esau’s firstborn were chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek…31 Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel. 32 Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom—the name of his city was Dinhabah. TLV Genesis 26:34 When Esau was 40 years old, he took as wife Judith the daughter of Be-eri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 But they caused a BITTERNESS of spirit for Isaac and Rebekah. TLV Proverbs 17:24 A foolish son is grief to his father and BITTERNESS to her that bore him. TLV Hebrews 12:14 PURSUE SHALOM with everyone, and the HOLINESS without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God; and see to it that no BITTER ROOT springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled. 16 Also see to it that there is no immoral or godless person—like Esau, who sold his BIRTHRIGHT for one meal. 17 For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the BLESSING, he was rejected. He found no chance for repentance, though he begged for it with tears. TLV 2 Peter 2:1 But FALSE PROPHETS also arose among the people, just as there will also be FALSE TEACHERS among you. They will secretly bring in DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES. They will even deny the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 Many will follow their IMMORAL WAYS, and as a result the WAY of the TRUTH will be maligned. 3 In their GREED they will exploit you with FALSE WORDS. Their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 13 They will be paid back for what they have done—evil for evil...15 They have abandoned the straight way. They have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor...TLV 1. DEMYSTIFYING PROPHECY REVEALS THE WAY OF TRUTH FROM THE TORAH AND REVEALS ERROR 1 Peter 1:19 Furthermore, we have the reliable prophetic word...20 Above all understand this: no PROPHECY of Scripture comes about from a person’s own interpretation. 21 For no PROPHECY was ever brought forth by human will; rather, people spoke from God as they were moved by the Ruach HaKodesh. TLV Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his countenance is changed. AMPC Who is like the wise man: Who in the world is as esteemed as a wise man? and who knows the meaning of a thing: Heb. פֵשֶּׁר, the interpretation, as we find regarding Daniel; because of his wisdom-for [because] he was wise in the fear of Heaven, the secrets of interpretations were revealed to him. Who is like Moses, who made compromises (פְּשָּׁרִים) between Israel and their Father in Heaven? Wand the boldness of his face is changed: from that of other people, to the extent that (Exodus 34:30) they feared to approach him because the skin of his face was radiant. 1 Peter 1:10 The PROPHETS, who spoke about the grace that was to be yours, searched for this salvation and INVESTIGATED carefully. 11 They were trying to find out the TIME and CIRCUMSTANCES the Ruach [or Spirit] of Messiah within them was indicating, when PREDICTING the sufferings in store for Messiah and the glories to follow. TLV Exodus 34:29 Now it happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai... the skin of his face was radiant, because God had spoken with him. 30 When Aaron and all Bnei-Yisrael saw Moses, the skin of his face shone in rays, so they were afraid to come near him.

DEMYSTIFYING PROPHECY #2: Revealing the Mystery of Prophecy from Parashat Balak - Rabbi Brian Bileci

Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. When we look at the writings of Moses, we are given instructions for daily living, but when we read the prophets, there seems to be a more corrective element to their profound words. Prophets are sent on assignment to address kings, nations, sin barriers and covenantal conflicts. When the nation that God has chosen as His own refuses to live within His covenant terms or boundaries, the prophets would speak forth, “Thus saith the Lord,” to remedy the problem. Their goal was always to reconcile the nation back to God and cause them to return in complete repentance to His Torah and divine path. The word prophet in Hebrew is “navi" נָבִיא, but in English it is derived from the Greek word, “prophetes” προφήτης, meaning to “speak forth.” They were singled out by God Himself to represent His holiness and declare His authority over every situation that needed to be realigned to God’s will. Some prophets operated solely as “seers,” receiving God’s revelation through visions and dreams, while others were like ambassadors, and functioned as spokesmen for the Father in heaven. Moses was definitely different from all other prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures, since God declared that only to him, did He choose to speak “face to face” [Exodus 33:11; Numbers 12:8; Deuteronomy 34:10]. This was true, until the Messiah came, as the writer of Hebrews explains in Hebrews1:1-2. There is also a difference between the office of the Prophet, and the manifestation or charismatic gift of prophecy. The office is a full-time position, that requires the individual to totally surrender to this unique prophetic call as a lifetime career. While the occasional charismatic prophetic utterance was less frequent, it can be manifested in the life of any Spirit-filled believer who yields to this spoken gift, as often as the Spirit wills. The prophets of the Bible are defined by their function, as we see first in the Torah. Let's Study Moses the First Prophet of Israel: • Moses Was a spokesman for God to Kings • Moses Was a mediator between God & Israel • Moses was a prophetic voice to Israel & Nations PARASHAH POINTS: 1. MOSES WAS THE PROPHET THAT DEMYSTIFIED THE TORAH THAT POINTS TO THE MESSIAH 2. MOSES SPOKE TO HASHEM FACE-TO-FACE AND WAS THE GREATEST PROPHET TO ISRAEL TWO MAJOR PURPOSES OF THE PROPHETS OR PROPHECY: THE STRATEGY OF THE PROPHETS - The Prophets chronologically dealt with specific issues and sins, and spoke the “Word of the Lord” to resolve them. • We must first understand the “conflict & resolutions” given to the original audience. • Then we must apply the spiritual principle to our own lives. • We should always consider the literal meaning before we “spiritualize” the text. THE SPIRIT OF THE PROPHECY - The ultimate focus of the Prophets, like the Torah, is to reveal the message and ministry of the “Coming Messiah.” • The Prophets of Israel proclaimed God’s truth to their generation [kings, nations, people]. • The Prophets of Israel prophesied future events to come. • The Prophets chronologically dealt with specific issues and sins, and spoke the “Word of the Lord” to resolve them. PROPHETIC PICTURES OF MESSIAH IN THE BOOK OF NUMBERS: a. Manna - “Bread from Heaven” b. Quail Storm - “Meat from Heaven” c. Water from the Rock d. Bronze Serpent Lifted up e. Star of Jacob f.

A Prophet like unto Moses Acts 3:17 “Now brothers, I know that you acted in ignorance, just as your leaders did. 18 But what God foretold through the mouth of all His prophets—that His Messiah was to suffer—so He has fulfilled. 19 Repent, therefore, and return—so your sins might be blotted out, 20 so times of relief [refreshing] might come from the presence of Adonai and He might send Yeshua, the Messiah appointed for you. 21 “Heaven must receive Him, until the time of the restoration of all the things that God spoke about long ago through the mouth of His holy prophets. 22 Moses said, ‘Adonai your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from among your brothers. Hear and obey Him in all that He shall say to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul that will not listen to that Prophet shall be completely cut off from the people.’ 24 Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel on have announced these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and also of the covenant that God cut with your fathers, saying to Abraham, ‘In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.’ 26 God raised up His Servant and sent Him first to you, to bless you all by turning each of you from your wicked ways.” TLV John 1:45 “We’ve found the One that Moses in the Torah, and also the prophets, wrote about..TLV 3.
