Toledot - "GENERATIONS"
Torah: Bereshit/Genesis 25:19 – 28:9
Haftarah: 1 Samuel 20:18-42
Besorah: Matthew 10: 21 - 38
Genesis 25:22-23. “The children struggled together within her…And the LORD said to her: Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you shall be divided; the one shall be stronger than the other, the older shall serve the younger.”
The struggle between the descendants of these two children Jacob and Esau (whose name would also be Edom) would continue; it is a spiritual struggle. God’s hatred for the spirit working in Esau, which not only despised its own birthright, but also persisted in working violence against the lineage of God’s sovereign choosing, would be strongly expressed in the Book of Obadiah—“Behold, I will make you small among the nations; You shall be greatly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you…For violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever” (Obadiah 2-3, 10).
YAHUAH is a God of love and life—attributes which manifest in holy hatred against all which would seek to thwart His life-covenants with the Children of Adam. “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated” (Malachi 1:2-3; Romans 9:13). “For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall dink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been” (Obadiah 15-16).
1 Samuel 20:18-42
This narrative of Jonathan saving David from the wrath of Saul, is an interesting Parralel to the Story of Esau and Jacob who were two brothers who struggled since being in their mother's womb. Is it not uncanny how Jonathan and David were like two bonding brothers. Is it not very interesting that Saul used these words to described Saul's mother as such:
30 Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said unto him, Thou son of the perverse rebellious woman, do not I know that thou hast chosen the son of Jesse to thine own confusion, and unto the confusion of thy mother's nakedness?
While so many often speak oddly of the love between two men as there were between Jonathan and David, could this truly be a loving bond between two brothers of the same mother?
A Reading from the Besorah: Matthew 10: 21 - 38
Finally Yahusha sends his apostles out to share the Living Word of Yahuah but warns them of the day shall come where brothers shall rise up against brothers (not much different than in the days of our Patriarchs ). Yet the households of children rising up against their fathers was shown in the story of Jonathan and Saul.
If we look back at the rising up against one another within a household, we must know that this is spiritual warfare in the Kingdom where the Righteous shall separate its will and way of life from the unrighteous even if they are family as close as a mother should be to her daughter and a son to his father. The righteous will rise against the unrighteous within the same household. Therefore, a wise moreh once stated, "Think not I come to bring peace"
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
