TORAH
Promise of Joseph fulfilled. Moses takes up Joseph's bones. The tomb believed to belong to Joseph that as found in Avaris/Goshen, is empty as if someone broke in and took even the bones. What would a tomb robber get out of old bones? Unless they needed them for something very important like this case.
Egypt fell when Joseph's bones were removed. Joseph is the one that blessed Egypt. When the blessing was taken, Egypt was under a curse. This is a curse that Egypt had potential to never recover from, but somehow, YHVH, allowed them to recover and enter into a Golden Age called the New Kingdom afterwards mainly because of this:
"In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing within the earth; because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.” Isaiah 19:23-25
See The Yahuwah Triangle blog
The first thing Yahweh takes His people is to Succoth. When travelling in the wilderness we need to know how to make a shelter to be protected from exposure. This is why when we celebrate Sukkot, we built tents because this 8 day camping session is preparing us for the Greater Exodus when God will bring His people back.
See Power of Prayer (The Nehemiah Challenge) - Part 2 for the source of info on the pillar of cloud.
"And there was the cloud and the darkness, yet gave it light by night." Exodus 14:20 b.
Yahweh appears to His people in Scripture as a massive thunder cloud. The word cloud means anan which is to cover (head-covering), cumulonimbus, thunder cloud. It also means "to act covertly, to make appear, to conjure up, soothsaying, spiritism, to make a cloud and to observe times." This is why religious cultures all over the world, including the Hebrews, will always have incense going around when they prayed and preforming rituals.
When it says pillar of fire by night, it is actuality a pillar that is like fire, but it is still a pillar of cloud. It is technically an orange/red/yellow cloud that we can see when the sun sets. By day, it looks like a cloud. Interestingly, when you shine a torch on open fire, you can not see the fire. The flames look grey but at night it turns brilliant orange. The pillar is actually Yahweh's Right Hand (Yeshua) being projected to lead His people. Exodus 14 also says that this pillar of cloud is an Angel (notice caps on angel refers to Messiah), which are flaming minsters of righteousness. Yahweh is described throughout all Scripture as a consuming fire. It only makes sense that this is why the smoke cloud is fire at night so God's people can see in the darkness and be the lights of the world.
See this video regarding spirits and clouds:
In the prophets, they speak that the Greater Exodus will begin when about 144000 pillars of clouds will fill the earth so all of Yah's people can follow the one closest to them. These groups of people lead by the same cloud will move all over the earth to one location (Israel) and this cloud will merge together into one gigantic cumulonimbus thunder cloud.
Your friends and your self might think that this is crazy to follow Yahweh, as it was with the Hebrews in the wilderness. Remember, that God created everything, would you think He would know very well what He is doing?
God will straighten Pharaoh in his free will to follow the Hebrews, because if God did not, then there will be no miraculous phenomena and there will be nothing to remember on this day. Yahweh is supporting Pharaoh's decision, because the meaning of the Hebrew says "to grab, to hold, make strong, to support."
So Yahweh is taking a hold of da donkeh (Pharaoh), by his neck and moving him with His authority towards the mark (tav,) which is ultimately the bottom of the Red Sea.
When the Messiah comes at the end of days, it is going to be like the Exodus. So the first Exodus is about us and is painting a picture and is a road-map for what will happen in the future.
"Fear not, stand still, and see the salvation (Yeshua) of Yahweh." Exodus 14:13 a.
Yeshua (Jesus) will save us! This is God telling us the name of the Saviour! Interestingly, after the 41 years in the wilderness and Israel makes it into the Promise land, Moses dies and a man named Joshua (Yeshua comes from Yahoshua,) takes charge to actually cross into the land leading the people.
Verse 13 in chap 14 should say, "do not be afraid. Take your stand on the truth and see YHVH's Yeshua."
"Yahweh shall fight for you and ye shall hold your peace." Exodus 14:14 (It should say, "Yahweh devours, hold. Hold." It is the same Hebrew word used twice. When God's people came out of Egypt (the world), they drew a line in the sand. They are going to hold their line and to not go back. This is the right direction they are going and there is no turning back (remember Lot's wife.) Draw the line, hold it and keep your mouth shut. Peace. Be still. Do not worry about the others on the other side, they will make up their decision soon enough. We must do our job to serve the Creator. Let those on the other side see the fruits you produce and then they will make a choice. Peter says hold the tongue, which means hold and be still,and hold the line.
When God says to Moses to lift up your rod and divide the sea, he is actually saying, "lift up your tribe (Levi) and divide it." The tribe of Levi was divided into the House of Judah after the Northern Kingdom was divorced. But the most interesting thing is the job of the Levites
(who the 144000 will be Levites that will also part the oceans in the Greater Exodus.) The Levities' job was to purge, fight, separate the holy from the profane from the people (masses of people in the Book of Daniel represent water.) Levites made sure everything cut and clean kodesh (clean) without exceptions. So technically, Moses is lifting up his tribe (the Levities aka the 144000) to divide the people. I just have picture in my mind of a whole row of 100s of kids (144000 i believe are kids) lifting up their hands together holding them like in a Greek dance, while the Indian ocean parts in front of them. As they cross the sea and it is divided into two walls and the people are divided into two kingdoms, (Ephraim and Judah). When the enemy is defeated, they cannot stand because they are divided. But when we are united as one house, the walls of water comes over on top of the enemy and as one Body (Messiah) of water (living waters of the Word) consuming the enemy!
Hebrew means "to cross over." We must cross over to be on God's page and to cross over from the sins of Babylon. As i am writing this, i believe i am on that journey of crossing the Red Sea. Right now, i am walking on the dry sand and looking up at the amazing walls of water as one does at an aquarium. But if you have a hard time wanting to serve the Creator, you have to stop walking back and forth and changing your mind to serve Him. We must make up our minds because time is short, before He returns. Time is short, before the walls of water fall back down. As we begin to cross over, make sure you know who you are going to serve. Imagine you are in the shoes of an Israelite crossing the Red Sea, completely in awe and terrified of what just happened. You may get nervous, i do too. But we need to keep on walking. Dory says to keep on swimming, just keep on walking in His Word. Keep on running the race of faith to reach the end. As my year 7 teacher said, "good blokes finish well." God will not allow that pillar of cloud to go away from before us, because that pillar is like the Holy Spirit, the guide that helps us. That's why Yeshua sent it down on Pentecost. We do not need to worry. God is with us. He is there for you, just follow Him the best as you can. As you learn how to follow Him like i am, understand He will teach you and support you along the way. Lean on Him for support.
Check out this view on how the Red Sea crossing could have happened by using reasoning and geography by Mr. Barry Setterfield:
Verse 24 of chapter 14 shows that both the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire are the same thing.Or this could possibly mean it is dawn when it is half dark and half light.
The parting of the Red Sea happened at night and when Moses made it across, and the waters came back, it was dawn. Yeshua resurrected just before dawn too. Mary Magdalene after Sabbath, takes spices to the tomb and walks to get there at night. Once she makes it, it is dawn. Light is shining and salvation has already come. The Crossing of the Red Sea is a picture of the death, burial and resurrection of the Messiah. It is also our death, burial and resurrection and baptism through water and fire.
John the Baptist says that one that comes after me will baptise us in fire and in spirit. The pillow cloud or air in Hebrew is connected to the Holy Spirit (the Holy wind).
As some as the Israelites became Hebrews, God at that very moment baptised them looking directly through the mixed fire/cloud (spirit) at the time of dawn. The spirit, the fire and the water are all making testimony that the Hebrews crossed over from the land of sin and of the world.
The song of Moses will be very similar to the secret song of the 144000 Levite kids that will lead us in the Last Days. I bet you the song might have the same lyrics, but sung in a mysterious way that only they know.
When we cross the Red Sea the next year, our eyes (ayin) will be washed clean and we will see more clearly than before, and see men as they really are. Technically, it is our birthdays, and this is my 1st!
The waters were walls on both sides of the Israelites. They are the boundaries that lead to life. The Torah itself is described as a protective shield or a wall. Interestingly my friends at soccer nicked named me "The Wall" for some reason, coincidentally as i was just entering into Torah. The Torah scrolls are actually in a shape of a fence or a gate. We also know that the Torah and the Word are Living Water. So these walls of water is symbolically the Word that protects us from our enemies when we choose to surrender and follow INSIDE it! Walking it out and doing things in Bible things in Bible ways, we will walk on the narrow dry land.
"Thus Yahweh saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians (the world); and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore." Exodus 14:30
" I have told you these things, that in me you may have peace. In the world you have oppression; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
"Until your people pass over, Yahweh, until the people pass over (Hebrew) who you have purchased." Exodus 15:16 b
Yeshua/Jesus paid the price for our transgressions so we can pass over to Yahweh who had purchased us from the grasp of the enemy.
God did not allow His people to go into the land of the Philistines because they were effected by war (red horse) and the world. God will lead His people in the wilderness because it is safer from another populated area like a city that will be full of 5G radiation, war, famine, severance, robots and deceases in the End Times.
Could it be that only a 5th of the Israelites went out from Egypt? The Hebrew word used in chap 13 verse 18 seems to suggest that.
Joseph and Moses are related but are also opposites. Joseph, started out his life as a Hebrew in the land and went to Egypt and ended up a prince to the Mentuhoteps in Egypt. Moses was born and lived Egyptian as a prince and ended up leading the Hebrew people out to the land.
Lead in Hebrew is nachah. It is made of a nun (life), chet (boundary/fence) and hey (revelation). Reveal the boundaries that lead to life.
We all need boundaries in our life in order to be successful.
Baal-Zephon is named after an Egyptian god. All gods have been dealt with in Egypt except for this one and God challenges this false god by camping right in front of his eyes preforming the miraculous at the Red Sea.
The whole Egyptian army was completely destroyed with the Pharaoh. This was the end of the Egypt's Middle Kingdom. With no army and no King, it was very easy for an outside force (Hyksos or Amalekites) to take over the Delta to kick the Egyptians down south in Upper Egypt, sandwiching them in-between the Hyksos and the Nubian prince. This is the judgement for Egypt after the 10 plagues had absolutely battered them. Egyptian history goes silent for almost a few 100 years until we get evidence of wars of liberation against the Hyksos from the Egyptian rulers. After this, Egypt wins and gets their land back and became one of the most powerful empires in the ancient world after this (the New Kingdom). It seems that God allowed them to get back up as if they repented or knew that they did not want to mess with the God of Israel. Hyksos means shepherd kings. We know how Egyptians hated shepherds. It was as if God was messing with them saying, "hey, you hate shepherds? Here's some more!"
The Israelites complain that as soon as something does not go to plan as they anticipate, they will say that they will be better off in the slavery of this world, than to be free with YHVH. This is not the attitude we should have.
Yahweh takes off the chariot wheels of the Egyptian's army. This is amazing! We literally have evidence of lone chariot wheels encrusted with choral off the Gulf of Aqaba as if someone had manually took the time to take them all off! They also had found only one 4 spoke wheel which i said to be the one that belonged to Dudimose.
The parting of the Red Sea is a retelling of the Creation account.:
"And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit (wind) of God moved upon the face of the waters." Genesis 1:2
" And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided." Exodus 14:21
"And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day." Genesis 1:3-5
"And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night." Exodus 14:20
"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters (vertically.) And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so." Genesis 1:6-9
"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left." Exodus 14:21-22
"In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?” Exodus 16:7
The one thing that is missing from this parallel is the trees and the herb yielding seed. Maybe because He is removing sin - the cause of all sin = the tree of knowledge.
When some of the dead Egyptians washed up on the Saudi Arabian shore, the Israelites armed themselves and took all their weapons from their corpses. This makes sense because later, Israel will be fighting Amalek and the Nephilim giants, so they had to have gotten prepared at some point.
YHVH brought His people out of Egypt with an outstretched arm. Think of Jesus on the cross with outstretched arms.
Miracles should ALWAYS be considered with discernment and caution because anyone can use other spirits to do signs and wonders. The intention of them is to lead them back to Torah. If a miracle dose not bring you on your knees and to obedience (Torah), then it is not from God.
"YHVH is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation." Exodus 15:2 a
This is the only scripture reused in the Bible 3 times. Important.
Verse 26 of chap 15 is amazing. When we hear, do what is right by following all His commandments and keep them, YHVH says He will remove all diseases and illness of the world and He with be the healer. He will make waters pure again. The people saw a tree and, all of a sudden, the waters turn clean. Well consider this:
On this week's Torah Portion as i am writing this, apparently it is the day of Tu B'Shevat on the 19/1/19. It is the 15th day of the Hebrew mouth of Shevat. This day was not only the day used to start the measuring of the life of new trees, it was the New Years Eve for the older trees. It became known as Judgement Day for the trees. This sounds weird does it not? Well, it seems to me that it is interesting because trees are special symbols in the Bible and are
used to represent things like groups of people and life. Something supernatural apparently happens to all trees around the world on this very day. If we consider the fact that we are trees in the Bible, then this is something to mediate on in relation to B'Shallach. Consider:
"He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything. He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like trees walking.” Mark 8:23-24.
We will be planted in the mountain of YHVH's inheritance.
"Their delight is in Adonai’s Torah; on his Torah they meditate day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams — they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds." Psalm 1:2-3The water is a representation of people. So the people have become bitter. The Torah represents the Tree of Life. So the people than observed Torah and they lost bitterness and became glad and clean.
"The Torah of Adonai is perfect, restoring the inner person. The instruction of Adonai is sure, making wise the thoughtless. The precepts of Adonai are right, rejoicing the heart. The mitzvah (commandments) of Adonai is pure,
enlightening the eyes. The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The rulings of Adonai are true, they are righteous altogether, more desirable than gold, than much fine gold, also sweeter than honey or drippings from the honeycomb." Psalm 19:7-11
Egypt fell when Joseph's bones were removed. Joseph is the one that blessed Egypt. When the blessing was taken, Egypt was under a curse. This is a curse that Egypt had potential to never recover from, but somehow, YHVH, allowed them to recover and enter into a Golden Age called the New Kingdom afterwards mainly because of this:
"In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians. In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing within the earth; because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, “Blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance.” Isaiah 19:23-25

Check out this view on how the Red Sea crossing could have happened by using reasoning and geography by Mr. Barry Setterfield:
I have come to believe that the geography at Nuweiba in the Gulf of Aqaba and archeological evidence confirmed by several different investigators make this the likeliest crossing site. Looking at map of the Gulf of Aqaba, if the wind from the east did not blow at the crossing site, but further south toward the mouth of the Gulf, it would not have been an impediment to the Israelites; and because of the way the Gulf is canted from northeast to southwest a strong east wind would act to push the water out of the Gulf. So my speculation is it lowered the water level sufficiently to expose the land bridge at Nuweiba between Egypt and Arabia.
A commentary I read a few years ago pointed out that the word regularly translated in English as "wall" in this verse might also be translated as "boundary". In other words the water was a boundary on the right and the left side of the land bridge, and not high walls of water.
Verse 24 of chapter 14 shows that both the pillar of cloud and pillar of fire are the same thing.Or this could possibly mean it is dawn when it is half dark and half light.

"And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these: so that the one came not near the other all the night." Exodus 14:20
"And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters (vertically.) And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so." Genesis 1:6-9
"And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left." Exodus 14:21-22
"In the morning you will see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your complaints, which are against him, not against us. What have we done that you should complain about us?” Exodus 16:7
The one thing that is missing from this parallel is the trees and the herb yielding seed. Maybe because He is removing sin - the cause of all sin = the tree of knowledge.
When some of the dead Egyptians washed up on the Saudi Arabian shore, the Israelites armed themselves and took all their weapons from their corpses. This makes sense because later, Israel will be fighting Amalek and the Nephilim giants, so they had to have gotten prepared at some point.
YHVH brought His people out of Egypt with an outstretched arm. Think of Jesus on the cross with outstretched arms.
Miracles should ALWAYS be considered with discernment and caution because anyone can use other spirits to do signs and wonders. The intention of them is to lead them back to Torah. If a miracle dose not bring you on your knees and to obedience (Torah), then it is not from God.
"YHVH is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation." Exodus 15:2 a
This is the only scripture reused in the Bible 3 times. Important.
Verse 26 of chap 15 is amazing. When we hear, do what is right by following all His commandments and keep them, YHVH says He will remove all diseases and illness of the world and He with be the healer. He will make waters pure again. The people saw a tree and, all of a sudden, the waters turn clean. Well consider this:
On this week's Torah Portion as i am writing this, apparently it is the day of Tu B'Shevat on the 19/1/19. It is the 15th day of the Hebrew mouth of Shevat. This day was not only the day used to start the measuring of the life of new trees, it was the New Years Eve for the older trees. It became known as Judgement Day for the trees. This sounds weird does it not? Well, it seems to me that it is interesting because trees are special symbols in the Bible and are
"He took hold of the blind man by the hand, and brought him out of the village. When he had spit on his eyes, and laid his hands on him, he asked him if he saw anything. He looked up, and said, “I see men; for I see them like trees walking.” Mark 8:23-24.
We will be planted in the mountain of YHVH's inheritance.
"Their delight is in Adonai’s Torah; on his Torah they meditate day and night.
3 They are like trees planted by streams — they bear their fruit in season, their leaves never wither, everything they do succeeds." Psalm 1:2-3The water is a representation of people. So the people have become bitter. The Torah represents the Tree of Life. So the people than observed Torah and they lost bitterness and became glad and clean.
"The Torah of Adonai is perfect, restoring the inner person. The instruction of Adonai is sure, making wise the thoughtless. The precepts of Adonai are right, rejoicing the heart. The mitzvah (commandments) of Adonai is pure,
enlightening the eyes. The fear of Adonai is clean, enduring forever. The rulings of Adonai are true, they are righteous altogether, more desirable than gold, than much fine gold, also sweeter than honey or drippings from the honeycomb." Psalm 19:7-11
12 well and 70 date palms. 12 and 70 are VERY significant numbers. 12 is the number of the tribes and of the disciples. 70 is related to the 70 leaders and the 70 languages and nations. 7 is a number of completion, rejuvenation and cleansing but as a 70, it is 10 times more powerful (10 commandments). This is believed to be an earthly painting of paradise.
"On this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruits, yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the (70) nations." Revelation 22:2
This paradise did not last long, because oddly enough, the next location the Israelites come into is the wilderness of Sin.
It could be said that when the Israelites were complaining in Sin, they were saying:
"We wish that we had died by Yahweh’s hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the gospel when we ate our fill." Exodus 16:2
This is because the word there is "meat pot." In Hebrew that is basar. That is the same exact word for Gospel "the good news" in Hebrew. This is extraordinary because this is exactly what we are seeing today with hyper-grace (Gospelism) and the rejection of righteousness (Torah). In other words, the Israelites were being sooks. They wanted the be in the comfort in the world and follow an easier gospel.
"Behold, you trust in lying words, that does not profit you." Jeremiah 7:8
The description of the manna in verse 31 is very interesting. It is like coriander seed, we are to sow the Word of God into the hearts of men (Parable of the sower). It is white. Jesus is the Word and He is sinless which is white as snow, (transfiguration.) It was like wafers made of honey. Traditionally, in order for kids to learnt and enjoy Torah, as they read the portions, they would have sweet honey to activate a sweet emotion memory that is linked to the reading of Torah. Consider:
"The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb." Psalm 19:9-10
"How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!" Psalm 119:103
The test of the manna was in order to teach the Israelites to know how to let the land rest. On the 7th year of planting for 6 years, you do not plant in that land. You begin plating again the next year.
Moses stood on this rock and raised his arms as Israel fight against the Amalekites.
Moses gets tried and Hur and Aaron have to put him on the rock (Yeshua) with outreached arms, so Israel can have victory over the Nephilim seed of Satan. Seed war prophecy playing out. When Israel did the Torah they were victorious. When they did not and Moses' arms went down, the enemy gets the upper-hand.
"He said, “Yah has sworn: ‘Yahweh will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.’” Exodus 17:16
Amalek comes from Esau - he is an Edomite. It is a prophetic picture because Edom (Esau) is fighting Jacob (Israel) still. In the End Times, we see this with the wars in the Middle East. Joshua in battle with Amalek is a picture of Yeshua against Ha'Satan. In Revelation 19:20, it reveals this.
YHVH did not want war to come His people at the beginning of the Exodus because they would easily want to return to Egypt.
How did they overcome Amalek? The edge of the sword (the Word of God). Jesus will have a sword coming out of His mouth.Gray Wayne , NYSTV's episode called Midnight Ride: the Mystery of the Rod of Moses and the Staff of Nimrod at 52:18 and one of the many great websites has some interesting stuff regarding the Amalekites and the Hyksos - the 1th Plague. The Amalekites reigned until Amose rebelled and founded the New Kingdom at the time of Saul. It was Saul destroying the Amalekites that leveraged Amose and his Theban dynasty to then expel them out of Egypt. This is the act of God's mercy on Egypt.
This portion is a chiastic structure. The first bit matches the end bit, the second matches the second last and so forth. It all points to the thing at the centre which is the most important thing in this reading:
Threat posed by Egypt
Bitterness at waters of Marah
Request for food at Sin and the giving of Manna (Torah). The test to see if we keep it.
Bitterness at waters of Rephidim
Threat posed by Amalek
Bitterness at waters of Marah
Request for food at Sin and the giving of Manna (Torah). The test to see if we keep it.
Bitterness at waters of Rephidim
Threat posed by Amalek
This portion shows us who we are and how we constantly fall short and complain. We see miracle and go crazy and when hardship and trails come, (when we get thirsty) we want ti turn back to Egypt (the lies we grew up inheriting.) Think about yourself in this as i am. You you be complaining when God takes us out of the world, with no TV, no IPhones, no computers, no Facebook and YouTube no showers, no air cons, no WIFI. Do you think you will complain when these stuff are taken away? It will be hard, but this is the beauty of it. I love camping, and over time i have learnt to not complain over these vain objects. Yet, deep inside, i am complaining. Personally, i am looking forward to the food YHVH will provide for us in the Greater Exodus because it will be non GMO food.
Yeshua will not come until Israel will cry out King Come in Hebrew.
We are going to go through darkness but by morning Egypt will be destroyed.
When God destroyed the Egyptians (Mizraim, the father of Capthor who is the father of the Philistines) the Philistines will then be terrified at the Israelites. This is why God did not allow them to go up the short way to Palestine. This is the reason why He allowed Nephilim to come in after the Flood, so He can show the world how He is the true God.
"They took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt." Exodus 16:1
"This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us:" Acts 7:38
The Church was born here in this parsha.
Manna means "what is it?" LOL!
From Sin they go to Rephidim (support) may be similar to Rephaim (Nephilim giants - the walking dead). Support against the Nephilim? God is illustrating something here.
Amalek means the lapping up. Was he a dog man? If so, he might have been a werewolf like Lycaon from mythology?
Sisera is thirsty and asks for water. Same when the Israelites were complaining.
The song of Deborah and Barak after the death of Sisera is a parallel to the song of Moses when the Egyptian army and Dudimose the Pharaoh were killed in the Red Sea.
The Luminary angels fought with Israel against Sisera and the Amalekites.
Jael's wife (Israel) killed the enemy (Sisera). Victory.

PROPHETS AND NEW TESTAMENT
Sisera is like Pharaoh. he gathers up his chariots and army to fight Israel, but he and his army were discomforted, fled and were killed off, just as Moses aid that God will save the people from the Egyptians, He will destroy the enemy and give them into Israel's hand.
Sisera is thirsty and asks for water. Same when the Israelites were complaining.

Deborah was in between the heights (Ramah), the house of God (Bethel) and doubly fruitful (Ephraim.)
Capernaum (village of comfort) found Yeshua at the other side of the sea.Israel found salvation from Egypt at the other side of the Red Sea.

YHVH is truly saying to His people to collect His daily Word, which is represented by the manna falling from Heaven. Yeshua says He is that bread of life.
"For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world.” They said therefore to him, “Lord, always give us this bread.” Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will not be hungry, and he who believes in me will never be thirsty." John 6:33-35
Yeshua is also the Word that became flesh. So when the Israelites are told to collect their daily word, it fits perfectly.
"Give us this day our daily bread." Matthew 6:11
"Man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth."
I just got an image in my head as i am reading this of a pelican feeding its young from its mouth, probably after watching the film Storm Boy... This is an amazing and comforting picture! He will nourish us in the wilderness in the End Days! He lets us hunger and go through tribulations so that will will know that is the bread of Heaven that is important.
"How precious is your loving kindness, God! The children of men take refuge under the shadow of your wings." Psalm 36:7
So there is no reason to complain, just believe and He will nourish us.
Jesus (the bread/manna) was laid in the tomb (filled the omers) as a testimony when He resurrects that God was faithful.

"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin (transgress the Torah), that grace may abound? May it never be!" Romans 6:1
We are baptised by the Holy Spirit as the Israelites crossed over from their old sinful ways to following ways of life.
We are baptised by the Holy Spirit as the Israelites crossed over from their old sinful ways to following ways of life.
The whole portion points to the idea that all struggles in life is just a test to see weather or not we will still walk in His Torah (Word), to prove if we love YHVH our God. Seek first the Kingdom of God and all the things we need to survive in life, He will provide them.
"No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it. Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. 1 Corinthians 10:13-14
The waters of Marah were bitter. In Last Days, water will be poisoned with chemicals like fluoride. In Revelation, Wormwood (who i believe is Semiramis) will poison the waters when she comes down. But like what we see God preform another miracle to the people, He produces Living Water from the rock (Yeshua who said literally that He is the water that we will not thirst.)
"Now all these things happened to them by way of example, and they were written for our admonition, on whom the ends of the ages have come." 1 Corinthians 10:11
Paul is literally saying that we can not know what will happen in the end days for when the Greater Exodus happens, God's people will have read about the 1st Exodus and will understand what happened and to try not repeat the same sins as the people back then.
People that have gathered a lot of wisdom from the Word must minter to those that do not.
Shalom
