This week’s parasha addresses how you should deal with major Significant Emotional Events that tend to occur in your life. Deuteronomy 11:26-29 ESV “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse: 27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, 28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God, but turn aside from the way that I am commanding you today, to go after other gods that you have not known. 29 And when the Lord your God brings you into the land that you are entering to take possession of it, you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.”

In this week’s parasha Re’eh or Ra’ah is equivalent to our english word “to see” or “to perceive something” but we know based on the fact that the word is hebrew that there is more to explore:

RE’EH or RA’AH (TO SEE, or BEHOLD- רָאָה)

It is time to understand the deeper meaning of this parasha [to include the way in which we  are TO DEAL WITH SIGNIFICANT EMOTIONAL EVENTS!]. Once we understand them then; applying their deep meanings of the Hebrew letters inside of this hebrew word Re’eh is our quest:  

רָ-Reish

Head of a Man- Top, First, Beginning

א-Aleph

Ox Head- Strong, Power, Leader

ה-Hey

Man with arms raised, Look, Reveal, Breath

In Conclusion:  The hebrew letter Resh in the word Re’eh explains the hierarchy of order in the kingdom of Yah: 1 Corinthians 11:1-3 NASB “BE IMITATORS OF ME, JUST AS I ALSO AM OF CHRIST.  2 Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you. 3 But I want you to understand that CHRIST IS THE HEAD OF EVERY MAN (RESH),  and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.  I will expound on the rest of the letters in the hebrew word Re’eh in ATS- Adult Torah Study.

We will discuss this in more detail during Adult Torah Study!  See Yah This Sabbath ... Much love in Yahushua!
