02:06Without further ado, let's enter the Parasá.
02:09The weekly Parashah, vallera, in Hebrew, which means and saw or and appeared, is the fourth
02:23portion of the annual Torah reading cycle. Its name comes from the first word of the passage.
02:30Portion of the Torah, Parasa Genesis, Beresit, 18.1-22.24.
02:37Aptara, portion of the prophets, second Kings, Melahimbet, 4.1-37.
02:46Full text of the Parasa, Genesis 18.1-22.24.
02:52Careful translation from Hebrew.
02:55And the eternal Abraham appeared among the oaks of Mamre, while he was sitting at the entrance
03:01from the tent in the hottest part of the day. And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were
03:10standing near him. And when he saw them, he ran from the entrance of the tent to meet them and bowed down.
03:17on the ground. And he said, My Lord, if I have found favor in your sight, I beg you not to pass by your
03:26servant. Let some water be brought, and let them wash their feet and rest under the tree. And I will bring a piece
03:34of bread, and they will refresh their hearts, then they will go on their way, for they have passed by
03:41of his servant. And they said, Do as you have spoken. So Abraham hurried into the tent,
03:50to Sarah, and said, Hurry, get three ears of fine flour dough, and make cakes. And Abraham ran to the
03:59cattle, and he took a tender and good calf, and gave it to the young man, and he hurried to prepare it.
04:07And he took butter and milk and the calf he had prepared, and set it before them. And he was
04:14standing beside them under the tree, and they ate. And they said to him, “Where is Sarah, your wife?” And he said,
04:24Behold, in the tent. And he said, I will surely return to you at this time next year, and behold, Sarah,
04:34Your wife will have a child. And Sara was listening at the entrance of the store, which was behind him.
04:42Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in years, and Sarah had ceased to be a woman.
04:50And Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have withered away, will I have any pleasure?”
04:58since my lord is also old? And the Eternal One said to Abraham, “Why has Sarah laughed?”
05:05saying, “Will I really give birth, being an old woman? Is anything too amazing for him?”
05:14Eternal One? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah will have a son.
05:22And Sara denied it, saying, "I didn't laugh, because she was afraid." And he said, "No, you did laugh."
05:30And the men rose up from there, and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to see them off.
05:39And the Eternal One said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, since Abraham will become…”
05:46a great and powerful nation, and all the nations of the earth will be blessed in him? For I have
05:54known to command his children and his household after him, to keep the way of the Eternal,
06:00doing justice and judgment, so that the Eternal One may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken concerning
06:07He. And the Eternal One said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Amora is great, and because their sin is very great.”
06:15Serious, I will go down now and see if they have acted in accordance with the outcry that has reached me, and if not,
06:22I will know. And the men departed from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham was still there.
06:30standing before the Eternal. And Abraham approached and said, “Will you also destroy the righteous one beside him?”
06:38with the wicked? Perhaps there are fifty righteous people within the city. Will you destroy and not spare the one?
06:46place for the sake of the fifty righteous people in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to kill the righteous with
06:53the wicked, so that the righteous are equal to the wicked. Far from you, the Judge of all the earth will not do
07:01Justice. And the Eternal One said, “If I find fifty righteous people in the city of Sodom, I will spare them.”
07:09the whole place because of them. And Abraham answered and said, Behold, I have dared to speak to my
07:17Lord, though I am but dust and ashes. Perhaps five are lacking for the fifty righteous. You will destroy for the
07:26five to the whole city. And he said, I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there. And he spoke to him again,
07:35And he said, Perhaps forty are there. And he said, I will not do it for the sake of the forty. And he said,
07:45Please don't be angry, my lord, and I will speak. Perhaps thirty will be found there. And he said, I will not.
07:54If I find thirty there. And he said, Behold, I have dared to speak to my lord. Perhaps twenty may be found there.
08:03And he said, I will not destroy it for the sake of the twenty. And he said, I beg you, do not be angry, my lord,
08:13And I will speak only this once. Perhaps ten will be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.
08:22And the Eternal One departed, as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place.
08:29The two angels arrived in Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting at the gate of Sodom.
08:37When Lot saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground. And he said, “Look, my lords,
08:47I urge you to turn aside to your servant's house, spend the night, and wash your feet,
08:53And they will rise early and continue on their way. And they said, No, but we will spend the time in the square.
09:02night. And he urged them earnestly, and they turned aside to him and entered his house. And
09:10She prepared a banquet for them, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate. Before they had gone to bed, the
09:18Men from the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, from the young man to the
09:24elder, all the people. And they called to Lot, and said to him, Where are the men who
09:32Did they come to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know them. So Lot went out to the entrance,
09:40And he closed the door behind him. And he said, "Please, my brothers, do not act so wickedly."
09:49Here are my two daughters who have never slept with a man. Let me bring them out to you, and do with them
09:56They will do whatever is good in their eyes. Only do nothing to these men, for they have entered
10:03under the shade of my roof. And they told him, Get out of there. And they said, This one only came to
10:12residing here, and already wanting to judge, now we will do you more harm than us. And they rushed at the man,
10:21about Lot, and they came near to break down the door. And the men stretched out their hands and brought in Lot.
10:29Lot went with them into the house, and they shut the door. And the men who were at the entrance of the house
10:36They struck them with blindness, from the least to the greatest, and they grew weary searching for the entrance. And they said
10:43The men to Lot, Who else do you have here? Your son-in-law, and your sons and your daughters, and all that
10:51You have them in the city, get them out of this place. For we are going to destroy this place, because their outcry has
10:59Lot has grown old in the sight of the Lord, and the Lord has sent us to destroy him. So Lot went out and spoke to his friends.
11:07sons-in-law, those who were going to take his daughters, and he said, “Get up, leave this place, for the Eternal One…”
11:15He is going to destroy the city. But he seemed to his sons-in-law like someone who was joking. And at dawn, the
11:23Angels urged Lot, saying, “Get up, take your wife and your two daughters who are with you.”
11:30here, lest you perish in the punishment of the city. And when he lingered, the men took him
11:38They took him from his hand, and his wife and his two daughters, because the Eternal One had compassion on him, and they brought him out and took him away.
11:46They put them outside the city. And it was when they brought them outside that he said, "Run for your life, don't look back."
11:54Do not stay anywhere in the plain; flee to the mountains, lest you be destroyed. But Lot said to them, “No,
12:03Please, my Lord. Behold, now, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your
12:12Thank you for the kindness you have shown me, saving my soul, but I cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil
12:19I will be overtaken and killed. Behold, now, this city is near to flee there, and it is small, let me flee.
12:28There, it is not small, and my soul will live. And he said to him, Behold, in this also I have lifted up your face, so that you may not
12:37Destroy the city you spoke of. Hurry, escape there, for I can do nothing until...
12:45Don't go there. That's why the city was called Tzohar, meaning small. The sun had risen above
12:53the land when Lot arrived at Zohar. And the Eternal made it rain on Sodom and on Amora, sulfur and
13:01Fire from the Lord out of heaven. And it destroyed those cities and the entire plain, and all the people.
13:08inhabitants of the cities and what grew on the land. And his wife looked behind him, and
13:15He turned it into a pillar of salt. And Abraham rose early in the morning to the place where he had stood before God.
13:23of the Eternal. And he looked toward Sodom, and Amora, and toward all the land of the plain, and he saw, and behold,
13:31The smoke rose from the land like the smoke from a furnace. And it came to pass when God destroyed the cities of the
13:37In the plain, God remembered Abraham and sent Lot from the midst of the cataclysm, when the cities were destroyed.
13:45where Lot had lived. And Lot went up from Zohar, and lived in the mountain, and his two daughters with him, for
13:52He was afraid to live in Tzohar, and he and his two daughters lived in a cave. And the older daughter said to the younger,
14:00Our father is old, and there is no man left on earth to come to us according to the custom of
14:07all the earth. Come, let us give our father a drink of wine, and we will lie with him, and give life to
14:15descendants of our father. And they gave their father wine to drink that night. And the eldest entered,
14:23And she lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she got up. And it was on the morning
14:30Next, the older one said to the younger one, "Look, I lay with my father last night, let us drink some wine."
14:37This night also, and you will go in and lie with him, so that we may raise up offspring for our son.
14:45father. And they gave their father wine to drink that night also. And the younger daughter arose and lay with him,
14:53And he did not know when she lay down or when she got up. And Lot's two daughters conceived by his husband.
15:01father. And the firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab, after his father. He is the father of Moab
15:09to this day. And the younger also gave birth to a son, and called his name Ben, me, my son.
15:16people. He is the father of the Ammonites to this day. And Abraham departed from there toward the
15:23He lived in the Negev, between Kadesh and Shur, and resided in Gerar. And Abraham said concerning Sarah his
15:31woman, She is my sister. And Abimelech, king of Gerar, sent and took Sarah. And God came to Abimelech in
15:40night dream. And he said to him, Behold, you will die because of the woman you have taken, for she is married.
15:48with a husband. And Abimelech had not approached her. And he said, Lord, will you also kill a
15:57Just nation? Didn't he tell me himself, "She is my sister." And she also said, "Is he my brother?" With
16:06With the simplicity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this. And God said to him in the dream,
16:14I also know that you have done this with simplicity of heart, and I too have kept you from sinning.
16:20against me, therefore, I did not allow you to touch her. And now, return the woman to the man, because he
16:28He is a prophet, and he will pray for you, and you will live. But if you do not return it, know that you will certainly die.
16:36all of yours. And Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and spoke all these
16:44words were spoken into their ears, and the men were greatly afraid. Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, “What
16:52What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought such great things upon me and my kingdom?
17:00You have sinned? You have done to me deeds that should not be done. And Abimelech said to Abraham, “What did you see that made you sin?”
17:09Why would you do this thing? And Abraham said, because I said, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and I
17:18They will kill because of my wife. And truly, she is my sister, my father's daughter, but not my mother's daughter.
17:26And she became my wife. And it was when God made me wander from my father's house,
17:33I told him, "This will be your kindness to me, wherever we go, say of me, 'It is mine.'"
17:41brother. And Abimelech took sheep and cattle, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and returned to him
17:50Sarah, his wife. And Abimelech said, “Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it is good.”
17:57to your eyes. And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver, behold, this is
18:06For you a veil for the eyes of all those with you, and before all, and she was vindicated. And she prayed
18:14Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants, and they conceived. For
18:22The Eternal One had completely closed every womb in the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, his wife.
18:29Abraham. And the Lord visited Sarah as He had said, and the Lord did for Sarah as He had spoken.
18:37And Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had called him.
18:44He had spoken. And he called Abraham the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him,
18:50Yitzhak will laugh. And Abraham circumcised his son Yitzhak on the eighth day, as God had commanded him.
18:59sent. And Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Yitzhak was born to him. And Sarah said, “Laughter has made me laugh.”
19:07God, everyone who hears this will laugh with me. And he said, "Who would have told Abraham that Sarah would breastfeed?"
19:16children? Well, I have borne him a son in his old age. And the child grew and was weaned, and Abraham made a great man of his household.
19:25The banquet on the day Isaac was weaned. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had
19:32She gave birth to Abraham, who mocked her. And he said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman and her child, for you will not…”
19:40The son of this servant will inherit with my son, with Yitzhak. And the matter was very painful in the eyes of
19:48Abraham because of his son. And God said to Abraham, “Do not let this cause you grief in your eyes because of the boy.”
19:55because of your servant. In everything Sarah tells you, listen to her voice, for you will be called by Isaac.
20:03offspring. And I will also make the son of the slave woman into a nation, because he is your offspring. And he rose early
20:12Abraham got up early in the morning, took bread and a skin of water, and gave it to Hagar, placing it on her shoulder.
20:19And he said goodbye to the child. And she left, and wandered through the wilderness of Beersheba. And that was the end of it.
20:27She took the water from the skin and threw the child under one of the bushes. Then she went and sat down opposite,
20:35within a bowshot's reach, because, he said, I will not see the child die. And he sat down opposite,
20:43And he lifted up his voice and wept. And God heard the voice of the boy where he was, and the angel of God called
20:51God appeared to Hagar from heaven and said, “What troubles you, Hagar? Do not be afraid, for God has heard your voice.”
20:59Where is the boy? Get up, lift the boy up, and hold him in your hand, for I will make him into a great man.
21:07nation. And God opened his eyes, and he saw a well of water, and he went and filled the skin with water, and gave him a drink.
21:16to the boy. And God was with the boy, and he grew up, and he lived in the desert, and he became an archer. And he lived
21:25in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took for him a wife from the land of Egypt. And it was in that
21:33At that time Abimelech, with Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, “God is with you in everything.”
21:41what you do. And now, swear to me here by God that you will not lie to me, nor to my descendants, nor to my
21:49posterity. According to the kindness I have shown you, you will show me and the land where you have
21:55resided. And Abraham said, I will swear. And Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of the well of water
22:04which Abimelech's servants had taken. And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing,
22:11Neither did you tell me, nor did I hear of it until today. And Abraham took sheep and cattle and gave them to
22:20Abimelech, and they both made a covenant. And Abraham set apart seven ewe lambs from the flock. And Abimelech said
22:28Abraham asked, “What are these seven lambs that you have set apart?” And he said, “Why are these seven lambs…”
22:36You will take hold of my hand, so that they may bear witness to me that I dug this well. That is why he called that man.
22:44Beersheba, the well of the oath, for there they both swore an oath. And they made a covenant at Beersheba, and
22:52Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, rallied and returned to the land of the Philistines. And he planted
23:00Abraham saw a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the Eternal, God of the Universe.
23:08Abraham lived in the land of the Philistines for many days. And it was after these things that God appointed
23:16He tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham.” And he said, “Here I am.” And he said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love,
23:28to Yitzhak, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a wave offering on one of the
23:34mountains that I will tell you about. And Abraham rose early in the morning, and saddled his donkey, and took with him two
23:42of his young men and Yitzhak his son, and he cut wood for the wave offering, and he arose and went to the
23:50The place God had told him about. On the third day, Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. And he said
23:58Abraham said to his young men, “Stay here with the donkey, and I and the boy will go over there and bow down.”
24:06and we will return to you. Then Abraham took the wood of the wave offering and placed it on Isaac.
24:14His son, and he took the fire and the knife in his hand, and they both went together. And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father,
24:23And he said, "My Father." And he said, "Here I am, my son." And he said, "Behold the fire and the wood, but where is it?"
24:34the lamb for the wave offering. And Abraham said, God will provide for Himself the lamb for the
24:42a lift-up offering, my son. And they both went on together. And they came to the place that God had told him about, and he built
24:51There Abraham built the altar, arranged the wood, bound his son Isaac, and laid him on the altar on top of the
24:59wood. And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slaughter his son. And he called to him the angel of the
25:07He came from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham.” And he said, “Here I am.” And he said, “Do not stretch out your hand on…”
25:18Do not do anything to the boy, for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son.
25:26your only one, from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a ram behind him, caught in a
25:34bush by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it as a wave offering in
25:41place of his son. And Abraham called the name of that place, The Eternal One Provides, God I will go. As it is
25:49He says, "To this day, on the mountain of the Eternal, it will be provided." And the angel of the Eternal called to Abraham a second time.
25:57He came down from heaven. And he said, “By myself I have sworn,” says the Eternal One, “because you have done this thing.”
26:05And you have not withheld your son, your only son. I will surely bless you and multiply your descendants.
26:13offspring like the stars in the sky and like the sand that is on the seashore, and you
26:19Your descendants will possess the gate of their enemies. And all the descendants will be blessed.
26:26nations of the earth, because you have obeyed my voice. And Abraham returned to his young men, and they were
26:34They got up and went together to Beersheba, and Abraham lived in Beersheba. And it was after these
26:41things, which were announced to Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah also has borne children to
26:48Nahor your brother, Ut his firstborn, and Bu his brother, and Emuel the father of Aram, and Chesed, and Jason,
26:56and Pildas, and Yidlaph, and Bethuel. And Bethuel begot Rikuah, Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor,
27:07Abraham's brother. And his concubine, whose name was Reuma, also bore Tebah and Gaham,
27:16and to Tajas, and to Mahaja. The indivisible legacy of Ballera, the seed of Abraham and the land of
27:24Israel. A historical and philological note. The Torah establishes that the covenant and the promises
27:31Territorial lands were given to Abraham, Yitzhak, and Yaacob, whose name was changed to Israel, Genesis 35,
27:4010. The people descended from Jacob are, therefore, the people of Israel. The name Palestine
27:49It is a later designation of Greco-Roman, Syrian-Palestinian origin. Imposed after the
27:57The Bar Kochba revolt in the 2nd century CE, in an attempt to sever the Jews from their land,
28:04naming the region after the Philistines, an ancient non-Semitic people.
28:10The perspective of the divine mandate. One irrevocable promise of the land, the parazaballera,
28:18And the Torah, in general, clearly states that the land was promised to Abraham and his descendants.
28:24offspring, the people of Israel, as a gift and an eternal inheritance. Key texts such as Genesis 13.
28:3215. All the land that you see, I will give to you and to your descendants forever. And Genesis 17.
28:428. I will give to you and to your descendants after you the land of your sojournings. All the
28:49land of Canaan, in perpetual possession, are considered the divine title of ownership of
28:56Jewish people. 2. The purpose of the land. Judaism teaches that sovereignty over Eretz and
29:04Israel is not an end in itself, but the indispensable environment for the people of Israel to be able to
29:11to fully live the mitzvot, commandments, related to the land, such as the sabbatical year
29:18or offerings of agricultural products. Thus fulfilling their role as a nation of priests and a
29:25Holy people. Exodus 19. 6. 3. The religious vision.
29:32For large sectors of traditional Judaism and religious Zionism. Any attempt to deny
29:39Jewish sovereignty over any part of Eretz and Israel. Or the recognition of a sovereignty
29:46An alternative to it is seen as a direct challenge and a contravention of the promise and the
29:53God's command, as recorded in the Torah. In this sense, the recognition of
30:00Palestine by third countries can be interpreted as a delegitimization of the
30:06Theological basis and Jewish historical law. The principle of self-defense. Piquach Nefesh.
30:15The concept of Piquach Nefes, the preservation of life, is the supreme law in Judaism.
30:22surpassing almost all other commandments. The thief in the house. Exodus 22:2-3 (Torah)
30:31It explicitly allows a person to defend their life even if it means killing an assailant.
30:38who breaks into his house at night, since it is assumed that the assailant intends to kill if he is
30:44confronted. This principle extends to the defense of the community and the State when they face threats
30:52of extermination. The rule of persecution. Rodef, Jewish law establishes the principle of Rodef.
30:59The pursuer. If a person pursues another with the intention of killing them, or endangering their life,
31:08The victim and any witnesses have an obligation to intervene, even if intervention requires
31:14Killing the Rodef to stop the danger. Application to conflict. From this perspective, self-defense
31:22against organizations or countries that explicitly declare their intention to exterminate
31:28Israel has not only a right, but a moral and legal duty to protect the lives of its citizens.
31:35Conclusion in light of Ballera. The Torah establishes that the land belongs to the people of Abraham. Therefore
31:43Therefore, from the perspective of the Jewish faith, the denial of that link or the imposition of a
31:50Foreign sovereignty over the heart of the promised land is, inherently, a challenge to that
31:57Founding mandate. The duty of self-preservation, never surrendering to annihilation, defending life
32:05one's own and that of the community in the face of an attacker, Rodef. Therefore, biblical justice does not mean
32:13To permit annihilation for peace means to fight for life and security with the utmost
32:20Moral rectitude. Deep emotional and spiritual reflection. The Parasá Ballera is a pinnacle of
32:28The narrative of Beresith, Genesis, a vivid manifestation of faith, justice, grace, and
32:35obedience, which shapes the soul of the people of Israel and its founding principles.
32:42Central message for the people of Israel and ethical principles. Ballera's central message is primacy.
32:50of hospitality, Ajnazat Orhim, and unconditional faith, Emunah, manifested in aquedad,
32:57The binding of Isaac. 1. Hospitality and chesed, kindness.
33:04The passage begins with Abraham. Newly circumcised and suffering, he interrupts an encounter with the
33:11divine presence, interpreted by Rasi as a visit from the Eternal to comfort him, based on the
33:19Talmud, Bava Metzia 86b, to run to meet three strangers. This act elevates the Ajnazat Orhim to
33:28a level of supreme holiness, where receiving guests is greater than receiving the presence
33:34divine, Segina, Talmud, Sabbat 127a. The teaching is clear, social justice begins with kindness
33:44Personal. The holiness of Israel is measured by how it treats the most vulnerable or strangers.
33:522. Justice, tzedek, and judgment. Mispat, Abraham's dialogue with the Eternal concerning Sodom, is the first
34:00An example of a prophet interceding for the wicked. Abraham not only argues, but challenges justice.
34:08of God, asking, “Will not the judge of all the earth do right?” (Philippians 18:25). This section teaches
34:19Israel has the responsibility to be a light to the nations, not only through holiness
34:25personal, but through the active pursuit of justice and the denunciation of evil, even if
34:32It's awkward. Inés reconnects the figure of ten righteous with the need for a minyan, a quorum, for the
34:40public prayer, emphasizing the communal dimension of justice and prayer.
34:463. Achaety, faith, and surrender. Achaety, Genesis 22. Abraham's act of offering his son is the
34:55a deeper test of faith in the Torah. It is not a commandment of human sacrifice, as that was forbidden, but a
35:03proof of Abraham's total willingness to obey God, even sacrificing his own
35:10Moral understanding. The Ramban, Nazmanides, emphasizes that the purpose of the test was for the world
35:17knew that Abraham was a perfect servant of the Eternal, totally devoted. Application in the
35:25current events. On an individual level, Ballera calls on us to emulate Abraham's gesed, to look beyond
35:32Our comfort in seeing each other's needs. In a world of digital isolation, hospitality
35:40Genuine devotion and intercession for justice are radical acts. At the community level, it urges us to
35:47not to be like Sodom, whose wickedness, the Midrasim point out, was primarily due to its depravity,
35:55but cruelty and the suppression of compassion towards the poor and the foreigner, was the antithesis
36:01of the covenant of Abraham. The community of Israel must be a beacon of tzedek, justice, and mispat, judgment.
36:10for the world. Messianic connection, Hebrew and non-Trinitarian messianic vision. From a
36:17From a Hebrew and Messianic perspective, the Parasa Ballera offers profound connections with Yeshua,
36:24as the servant of the Eternal, Ibda Adonai, and the personification of the akedah and the promise
36:30of blessing. 1. Yeshua as the lamb of the akedah.
36:35In the Akedah, when Yitzhak asks, "Where is the lamb for the wave offering?"
36:42Genesis 22:7. Abraham responds, God will provide for himself the lamb for the wave offering,
36:51My son. Genesis 22:8. Elohim Yireh makes him Eleolabeni. Non-Trinitarian Messianic Theology
37:00He sees in Yeshua the prophetic fulfillment of this lamb provided by God. The Messiah is the means to
37:08through which the offering of life is made, reflecting Isaac's total surrender,
37:14but taken to its sacrificial conclusion. Yeshua is not the God who demands sacrifice,
37:21but the servant lamb who gives himself in total obedience to the Father's will.
37:262. The blessing of the nations on the offspring will be. In the renewal of the oath after the
37:34which the Eternal declares, and all the nations of the land will be blessed in your descendants, go Saraj.
37:42land, because you have obeyed my voice, Genesis 22:18. The Hebrew term, Saraj, your offspring,
37:52It is unique. This academic vision, as approached by Antonio Piñero Saez. Go to Yeshua,
38:00as a descendant of Abraham. As the key figure through whom this universal blessing
38:07It is channeled. A central element of the divine plan to restore Israel, through it,
38:14to bless all nations, in line with the prophecies of Isaiah's suffering servant,
38:21Example. Isaiah 53. Relevant Prophecy. Isaiah 53, 7. Retranslated.
38:32Queshe la tavach yuval vejavajel lifneigzazia neelma veloif tachpiv. Precise translation. As
38:40The lamb is led to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, so it does not know.
38:46He opens his mouth. This prophecy of Ibn Adonai, servant of the Eternal, reflects surrender and submission.
38:54Yeshua's obedience to the divine will, an echo of Yitzhak's total obedience when he was bound,
39:00and of the ram provided in its place. Yeshua embodies the obedience that culminates Abraham's test,
39:08bringing the blessing of faith and redemption to the world as the servant of Israel.
39:13A final reflection for life today. Ballera's wisdom resonates with urgency.
39:20particularly in contemporary life. We live in the land of Sodom when we allow that
39:27Indifference and selfishness mask cruelty. Abraham teaches us that the path
39:33Holiness is not just ritual observance, but an ethic of action. Today, the challenge
39:41Spirituality means being the minyan of righteousness in our own sphere of influence. We cannot
39:47to sit comfortably and safely at the entrance of our store, while the world cries out.
39:55Abraham's intercession for Sodom demands moral courage from us to speak on behalf of the oppressed.
40:02The ache reminds us that true faith involves a commitment that goes beyond what is easy or what is easy.
40:08That makes sense. In modern life, this translates into a willingness to sacrifice our time.
40:15resources and reputation for a cause greater than ourselves, for the establishment of the
40:21Justice and kindness, gesed, in our community. The Eternal One did not desire the death of Yitzhak, but his life.
40:30based on obedience. Our calling is to live a life that is a blessing to others.
40:36nations, not because of our greatness, but because of the humility, justice, and faith we model for
40:43The world. Sources consulted

42:36towards one's neighbor, and that true justice is reflected in practical love towards those in need.
42:44Yeshua takes up these ideas clearly, showing that faithfulness to God is expressed by serving.
42:50to others with love and justice, without needing to see them physically. Serving those in need is serving
42:58to the Messiah, his representative. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom
43:06from heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed
43:14The meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness.
43:21Justice, for they will be satisfied. Blessed are the merciful, for they will obtain justice.
43:30Mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed
43:38Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted.
