Parsha “Nitzavim,” (Devarim or Deuteronomy 29:10 through 30:20) is, according to Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship, not only perhaps THE most succinct, two-word summary of the Torah, but the parsha that is also most central to understanding what is arguably THE Biggest Lie since at least Genesis chapter 3.
And the Erev Shabbat reading lays the groundwork for that claim:
But that is again just the beginning.
WARNING: This is yet another reading in the continuing series of what you will certainly NOT hear in sun-god-day school. But this time the “WHY” is the heart of the problem!
The Sabbath day midrash is about that Big Lie, and the fact that the refutation is right there in Deuteronomy chapter 30:
“The Law has been done away with…nailed to the cross…it’s OLD Testament…and, besides, NOBODY but Jesus could POSSIBLY keep ‘the Law.’ It’s TOO HARD for you!”
When, in fact, He says it is NOT too hard for you. Practically sarcastically, even, as if He knew – because He did! – how it would happen.
And it’s time to tie in some other aspects of that Big Lie as well, including a bit of the “most twisted Book in Scripture” – Galatians – and how that same lie manifests as Kefa/Peter warned.
Once you see it – it is impossible to UN-see.
But as things come to a head – it is more important than ever that we be able to answer, “in season and out,” from His Word, exactly WHY we need to “come out of” EVERYTHING that is based on the Lie that got us exiled in the first place. Because those lies are deadly in a time of judgment for letting them fester.
