The life of Joseph takes up almost twenty-five percent of the Book of Genesis. The types and shadows his life brings forth bring meaning to many historical events. “Yah is in control?” More than most have ever imagined! Joinedtohashem.org

Final words of blessing of the Hebrews then it is time for a climb up the mountain. Moshe does not die from old age, he just ran out of gas. What a great example for each of us today. Joinedtohashem.org

Moshe teaches the Hebrews a song that will not only be for his day, but a day which is coming. In this song, we are reminded that Yah is perfect and we are not. We also see yet another reason for keeping our focus on our true destiny. Joinedtohashem.org

After 120 years Moshe’s job is done. It is time for him to pass the baton. Is there an underlying reason why Moshe was not allowed to finish the task of taking the Hebrews into the Promised Land? The Torah was to be read every seven years in the hearing of all the people. This […]

The Hebrews are not just standing around, but rather stationed in position. Each one has a task which must be accomplished and walked in. There are those who are standing in that day and those who are standing, but not seen, that is, until now! Joinedtohashem.org

We are not to be bystanders in this world, but rather active warriors. Learning to fight against the right enemy is crucial for us all. Learning the common-sense principals Torah teaches will also be of great help. Joinedtohashem.org

The word “because” is tied to the word “if”, which is the result of our choices. What was missing from the prosperity gospel of years past? Was the teaching right, but the wrong focus? Joinedtohashem.org

Moshe pleaded with Yah to go into the Promised Land. He was not allowed, not only because of his actions, but for the sake of the people. Joshua would come out of Moshe. This is a picture for us today. The Shema is a declaration on agreement between two realms, not just the reciting of […]

Regulations! Such an exciting word, right? Not until we see an alternate meaning which is “Prescribe.” The Creator has given us a prescription for our life, Torah. Abraham took his prescription daily. We should also. Why was Aaron’s death mourned, but not Miriam’s?   Joinedtohashem.org
