Hanukkah is not quite a biblical holiday, yet it has become a very visible Jewish holiday around the world. The events that Hanukkah commemorates are recorded in the four Books of the Maccabees, none of which enter either the Jewish or Protestant Christian canons. Yet, we find the theology of the Maccabees in the New Testament, underpinning the theology of the early Church.

Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 28 - Bible studyChapter 28 continues the pattern of blessing and extreme curses that has been prevalent throughout the Torah. Other nations had covenants that included blessings and curses as well. The difference with the Torah is the covenant is not between a human king and his people but with God and Man. Because Hebrew has no punctuation in its sentence structure, Moses uses a double sh’ma (that is he says the word twice) to give the word emphasis. Moses wants Israel to fully hear and obey the commands of the Lord.

Part of this ceremony involved the construction of an altar and the establishment of pillars of stones that were then plastered and written on.

Once the land has been conquered and settled, which apparently took 14 years to achieve, then a portion of the fruits of each year's harvest was to be taken to the "place that the Lord will choose."

Many of the commandments in the chapter pertain to fairness, that is, the fair treatment through criminal justice, domestic animals, widows and the potential unborn generations, fair weights and honest business dealings and justice for Amalek (whoever and whatever he is!).

The sustainability of a society both economically and politically is dependent on the strength of the family unit and the institution of marriage. We only have to look around at today's world and humbly acknowledge that one of the reasons for our failing societies is the breakdown of the family unit.

However, Moses reminds the people that actually not everyone is permitted in the presence of God. God is life, and death may never enter His presence.

Moses is communicating an ideal society. Perhaps this society was never going to be realised, but that actually is not the point. The point is the laws reflect the characteristics of God and His desire for socially, psychologically and spiritually healthy people.

Let us not superimpose present-day morality on the past. The Bible is not presenting multiple wives as the ideal (neither do we advocate polygamy). The issue being addressed by Moses is the concern for an unloved wife and the right of the firstborn. The firstborn held special honour in Biblical tradition.

All firstborn are beloved by God, however that does not mean He will call them to ministry as the...2020-12-161h 38

Nature is not to become a victim in human warfare. Then in Chapter 21, having noted that blood pollutes the earth and has consequences, Moses introduces legislation for atonement for an unsolved murder. The ceremony includes the washing of hands, reflecting innocence of the crime, which we see again in the actions of Pilate during the trial of Jesus.

In Israel’s sacred history they had left Mesopotamia (the great eastern empire) and its gods, through the family of Abraham, and they had left Egypt(the great western empire)and its gods, guided by Moses. Israel is placed in the centre of these two great powers, revealing the true monotheistic God of the Universe to the Gentiles.

In this portion Moses expounds on Shavuot (Weeks/Pentacost) and Sukkot (Booths/Tabernacles).

Moses does not mention the other four feasts of the Lord. In discussion we mentioned that one reason could be that these feasts are particular representations of the Messiah.

In the Bible it is named as Yom HaKippurim; it's in plural, literally the Day of Atonements. How many atonements are there? Join Aaron Eime for a discussion on these questions and more as we ponder the meanings behind what God calls ‘a lasting ordinance for all generations.’

Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 15:1-11 - Bible studyThe forgiveness and cancelling of debts was common and widespread in the Ancient Middle East but was almost exclusively the prerogative of the ruling monarch. In preparation for a just society reflecting the character of the God, Moses takes that exclusive power away from kings and puts it in the hands of everyone. The notion being, if this is important to God, it is now important to you.

The pagan customs of the Canaanites will tempt Israel, and Moses is knows that morality and ethics could collapse when they move from a place of weakness to a place of power.

Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 14:1-2 - Bible studyMoses spends a great deal of this chapter on dietary rules of clean and unclean foods. "Clean" and "unclean" are not the best translations of tahor and tahmeh. A better rendering would be "pure" and "impure." To put this discussion in context, for most of the ancient cultures of the world, eating had both a social and a religious significance and meaning. Ancient cultures dwelt on mythologies of how the animals came to be, which ones were sacred and which ones could be consumed as food and even how they should be eaten.

Christ Church JerusalemLove in the time of justice6 Sept 2020 - How the followers of Jesus address sin within the Christian community affects people inside and outside the Church. Deacon Aaron Eime tell us that, when the Church properly addresses sin, it publicly reflects the holiness of God to the outside world and inwardly restores purity and defends the Church against sin. If we truly believe that God is present within the Christian community, we will take sin seriously, seeking to address the issue with love, humility and charity. While this is undoubtedly a difficult subject, it is a vital one as properly addressing sin enables God’s Church to...2020-09-0832 min
Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 13 - Bible studyMoses continues to spell out in detail the different ways the Israelites might be enticed to worship other gods. Because Idolatry threatened the very existence of Israel, it had to be totally purged from the community. Idolatry was already ingrained in the national story of Israel since the Exodus from Egypt. The 10 Commandments explicitly forbids the worship of any god other
than God. The nation had previously engaged in Avodah Zara (strange worship) with the Golden Calf. Further in the past of the patriarchs, Rachel had stolen the idols of her father Laban. When Jacob was commanded by God to...2020-09-021h 31
Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 12:20-32 - Bible studyThe size shape and extent of the borders of ancient Israel have never been truly defined and agreed upon. Even here God says through Moses that when the territory of Israel’s conquest has been enlarged, without defining what extent that has been enlarged to, then certain dietary rules are to be enacted, notably those regarding the consuming of sacrificial and non-sacrificial meat! With no offence to vegetarians intended, God is sanctioning the eating of meat as He has done since the days of Noah. Animals that are intended for sacrifice to God must only be consumed in God’s Pres...2020-09-021h 20
Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 12:1-7 - Bible studyMoses sets before the Israelites clear instructions to follow the decrees and laws of God once they have possessed and inhabited the Land of Canaan. Israel is to follow the Torah in the Land. Interestingly the Torah calls for festivals to remember the Exodus from Egypt (Pesach) and the wandering in the wilderness (Sukkot) and the giving of the Torah (Shavuot). Yet there is no festival to remember the entering and conquest of the Land! While you inherit the Land you never celebrate the conquest of the Land. Rather you obey the Torah in the Land.

Should the believer do so then God promises to send rain from Heaven to nourish the Land. Future prosperity is dependent on the morality of the Israelites. It is a good thing to be dependent on the Lord. Dependency is a guard against pride. The blessing of God is success, but the danger of
success is idolatry.

Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 12:8-19 - Bible study‘Do not do as we do today’ -- this verse seems to imply that, despite having the Tabernacle, a system of priests and Levite attendants with detailed laws governing sacrifices as well as a visible cloud appearance signifying God’s real presence within the Israelite camp, that each Israelite seems to have worshiped as they pleased. This might explain the context behind the rebellion of Korah! Real worship is not concerned with what pleases Man but with what pleases God. Modern worship can suffer from being overly self-focused with attention centred on personal experience. Worship should be God-focused.

Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 11:1-12 - Bible studyLove is not a matter left to impulse or feelings. Love is actually a commandment from God. We are to love God irrespective of personal emotional feelings that hinge on chemical reactions or human relationships. Love is a choice and not relegated to whether we had too much chocolate or had a fight with work colleagues. This command from the lips of Moses also reveals what God really wants from us: to love God and keep His requirements. He could have commanded countless other things from us, but for God the priority is love from His creation.

Jewish exegesis finds three occasions where Moses spends 40 days with God on Sinai, thus it is said that Moses had a total of 120 days with the Lord. And the Lord listens. Why does God listen? Was it the prayers, the obedience, or the mercy of God that causes him to relent from harming Israel? Why did it take so long for the Lord to answer Moses? Why was his intercession not answered swiftly? The text provides no answer but simply allows the reader to ponder and...2020-07-291h 24

Thus a second set of stone was carved out by the hand of Moses with God declaring He would write again the words of the covenant. While Deuteronomy says that God will inscribe the Tablets, Exodus notes that actually God dictated and Moses wrote all God said. In both narratives the second set of Tablets is a joint venture between Man and God, while
the first had been God alone.

Christ Church JerusalemWhat Type of Disciple Are You?On the sixth Sunday after Pentecost, Deacon Aaron Eime shares from the Parable of the Sower, in which the Word of God is the message of the Kingdom sown into human hearts through discipleship. The parable challenges us to examine which type of disciple we are and will be. In a world that denies hope and truth, the disciples of Jesus are called to show the hope of redemption. The good soil is the disciple who hears the Word of God and puts it into practice, yielding a bountiful harvest.

Moses’ first fast of 40 days was rewarded with the Words of God from the Finger of God. Immediately God tells Moses to arise and return to the Israelites, as the people of Moses have rebelled.

Christ Church JerusalemDeuteronomy 9:1-11 - Bible studyFear of the coming battle and conquest of Canaan could pose a problem for the people of Israel, as this posed a problem 40 years ago. Memory is important as the past can affect the present. There was now a competing memory of failure with the 10 spies within the national memory of Israel: We have done this before and we failed, what has changed now? Memory, both national and individual is therefore selective. When retelling the sacred history within the Torah, Moses does not include everything. Instead in Chapter 8 and 9 Moses focuses on three things: the Exodus from Egypt, Israel’s la...2020-07-011h 27

And this will prevent future success turning into arrogance and rejection from the Land of Inheritance. The Good Land before them is bountiful in agriculture, listed as the 7 species.

Simply because it is the Word of the Lord. Moses produces another reason for obedience: life! The theology that obedience produces life is reinforced again in Hebrews 5:9, where eternal life is linked to obedience to the Messiah. Obedience and the negative disobedience have consequences.

Chapter 4 introduces a clear defined monotheism, Chapter 5 retells and comments on the 10 Commandments, Chapter 6 produces the Sh’ma, an oath of loyalty with instructions to love and fear the Lord. Yet Deuteronomy is also the most violent of the books of Moses. Chapter 7 introduces the tension between love and fear God with the command to exterminate without distinction.

The Hebrew is an emphatic statement in single form, this is ‘The Commandment!’, the greatest of commandments that God is telling Moses to teach the Israelites. Moses reminds us all that hearing the Voice of God and learning His instructions (Torah) should give us a healthy fear and awe of the Lord.

Here, though, in verse 1 what Moses instructs is not called Torah. These laws are conditional to taking possession of the Land and to Live!
