Standing at the Gates of the Promised Land in the Second Exodus at the culmination of the Ages
This Blog is compiled from Parashat and Haftorat Balak:
Parahah from TORAH: NUMBERS 22:2-25
Haftorah from PROPHETS: MICAH 5:6-6:8
In Jewish synagogue services the Torah is read in 52 weekly Parashot sections consecutively every year. The insight of the Jewish Sages in having paired up each Parashah with a section from the Prophetic books of the Tanach is astounding. This becomes evident from the fact that this pairing up does not change annually and it is eerie how these readings are ever so often echoed by leading international news events of that same week to confirm the accuracy of Bible prophecy. In general, These Haftorahs encapsulate and expound on the theme of the Parshah for the week.
Unfortunately, while commentaries on the Parashot abound weekly (on Internet these days), reviews of the Haftorot do not receive the same prominence generally. Haftorat Balak this week (from the book of the Prophet Micah), has a specially important concluding Message for the Time that we are living in.
The Awakening is taking place!
We have observed many signs this week that the Restoration of Israel End Time Process is taking shape. Normally, such signs are not always obvious. In fact, clear signs of success are mostly dangerous, for the many negative side effects it carries. Reminds us of the Rabbi who said: “I get very worried when my entire congregation agrees with me and there is no fierce rejection of my view points!”
At the risk of seeming self priding, we will share some of these observations this week rather than a blog and Parashat commentary. We will share video and other snippets of such inspiring signs that came our way, unasked for. To us, this showed a monumental move forward in our endeavours to get Judah to recognize and accept the reality of a “reawakening Ephraim” out there.
Turning Stumbling Stones into Stepping Stones
We are now at the Redemptive stage of the 2nd Exodus, having left the exile in spiritual Egypt, and now being “in the Wilderness Trek” towards the Promised Land where HaShem will raise and perfect His Tabernacle (Temple) in which He will dwell amongst His People to rule over His Universal Kingdom through “His Servant” whom He is preparing.
Resistance amongst the Nation featured prominently in the 1st Exodus. It now serves as a paradigm for our current experience on this Final Lap. We can mirror our current experience in this and learn from the mistakes made in the 1st Exodus.
This week’s Parashat Korach highlights such a major flaw in the Nations reactions. It deals with the rebellion of Korach against Moshe’s leadership. This serves as yet another mirror for us to evaluate and reconsider our own reactions in this regard on our current Final Trek to the ultimate Achievement.

Parashat Korach (Korach) – Weekly Parashah
Texts: Numbers 16:1 – 18:32 || 1 Sam. 11:14 – 12:22 (Haftarah) NOTE: Kol HaTor, in its commentaries on the weekly Parashot, endeavours to search for and accentuate the Torah Messages contained in the Parashot as applicable to the main Theme of Tanach of the Return of the House of Israel, i.e. the Lost Ten Tribes of […]
Decide and accept the Final Invitation to the Ultimate Promise
This week we find ourselves in the time of the “12 Spies” – checking the Final Entry. And the report, coming from “the Two” sides (10 and 2 sectors): 2 spies positive and 10 spies negative, causing the entire nation in transition to cry through the night.
Significantly, the 2 ‘approving spies’ were:
Yoshuah – from the Tribe of Ephraim, and
Caleb – from the Tribe of Judah.
This already sets a confirmation of the metaphorical hint at the 2-House Reconciliatory Redemption that we are now approaching in Time. If this allegory is correct, what then is the Message that this week’s Parashah conveys to us?

Parshat Shelach: How Can I Trust God When I Don’t See Him? (Aleph Beta)
This week, we read about the tragic sin of the spies. It’s a very frustrating story. Every time we read it, just as the spies are about to give their report, we want to scream out, “NO – DON’T DO IT!” How could they have doubted God? How could they have sinned so egregiously? (Aleph […]
