Every week in Jewish synagogues the world over, a selection of a
few chapters is considered from the Torah (the Pentateuch or the
Law of Moses). The discipline of reading the parashah or Torah
portion on Shabbat (the Sabbath) has helped maintain the cohesion
of the Jewish people for millennia. As Messianic congregations have
been formed, this tradition is something which has helped enliven
the Bible readings and studies of those, Jewish Believers and
evangelical Christians embracing their Hebraic Roots alike, who
look to Moses' Teaching to tell us something about the relationship
each of us is to have with Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ), and
how we are to grow in holiness. What are the benefits of
consistently examining the Torah? What old lessons might need to be
re-learned every year, and what are some new lessons for God's
people to be considering? How will the Torah form a major part of
the emerging Messianic movement's understanding of the mission of
God, and with what He wants to do with His people? Will we really
be able to understand the admonition, "The secret things belong to
the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our
sons forever, that we may observe all the words of this law?"
(Deuteronomy 29:29)? TorahScope, Volume III is a third, special
year's compilation of insightful, reflective commentaries on the
weekly Torah readings, gleaned from the studies and notes of
William Mark Huey. Written from a Messianic perspective, this
volume shares his conviction that a Believer's life and walk with
the Messiah Yeshua can be viewed through the grid and lens of
consistent Torah study. Volume III is unique as it specifically
focuses readers on the theme of faith, how figures in the Torah
interacted with God in either a faithful or faithless manner, and
how their example carries through to the Tanakh and Apostolic
Writings.
The Mishnah tractate Pirkei Avot or Sayings of the Fathers is a
compilation of wise sayings, proverbs, and anecdotes dating from
the Third Century B.C.E.-Third Century C.E., forming much of the
basis of ancient Jewish ethics. Many important parallels can be
seen between remarks made in the Pirkei Avot and the wisdom sayings
or teachings of Yeshua the Messiah, James the Just, and the
Apostles Peter and Paul. In the Jewish community today, the Pirkei
Avot are traditionally read and considered during the seven weeks
between the festivals of Passover and Shavuot. Sayings of the
Fathers: A Messianic Perspective on Pirkei Avot takes readers
through not just one, but two years of fifty-day reflections, and
six bonus days, of some of the ancient wisdom seen in this valuable
text. You will not only be introduced to some of the key views
present in the Apostolic period, but also be able to weigh the
value that the Jewish Sages have in your own personal study and
reflection upon the Holy Scriptures. Be prepared to join into an
ancient discussion that spans the ages as you reflect on these
words. Be blessed as your faith and outlook on the world are
enriched, and you have more to take to your Heavenly Father in
prayer
The traditional Jewish discipline of reading the weekly Torah
portion every week, is something that today's Messianic Believers
surely benefit from-be they Jewish Believers who are discovering
more about their Messiah from Moses' Teaching, or evangelical
Christians embracing their Hebraic Roots in a very real and
tangible way. However, there can be a distinct tendency, at times,
for the Messianic community to focus so much on the Torah or Law of
Moses, that the continued revelation of God in the rest of the Holy
Scriptures is overlooked. Messianic Believers have the profound
responsibility to recognize that as important as the Torah is to
people of faith, that the Torah's goal or consummation is Yeshua
the Messiah (Jesus Christ), as our mortal inability to fully keep
the commandments of the Law is to reveal our need for a Divine
Savior (Romans 10:4; Galatians 3:24). How can today's Messianic
Believers really learn to appreciate the role that the Torah and
the good news of Yeshua's salvation play together, as the Lord
molds us into an effective group that can fully accomplish His
purposes? As many turn to the weekly Torah and Haftarah readings
every week, Messianics have often associated a selection of key
passages from the Apostolic Scriptures or New Testament. These
either build on a theme detected within the various parashot, or
they are intended to add additional details for consideration.
TorahScope Apostolic Scriptures Reflections is a compilation of
insightful, encouraging messages that incorporates information from
the weekly Torah and Haftarah portions, connecting it to key
messages in the New Testament, gleaned from the studies and notes
of William Mark Huey. It is the author's intent that we can all
allow the great tapestry of God's Word to mold us into men and
women who can understand the full importance of being disciples of
the Messiah of Israel.

(Deuteronomy 29:29)? TorahScope, Volume II is a second year's
compilation of insightful, reflective commentaries on the weekly
Torah readings, gleaned from the studies and notes of William Mark
Huey. Written from a Messianic perspective, this volume shares his
conviction that a Believer's life and walk with the Messiah Yeshua
can be viewed through the grid and lens of consistent Torah study.
It provides contemporary examples of the relevancy of the Torah to
all Messiah followers, and how we are to all be conformed to His
image (Romans 8:29).
In Jewish synagogues and Messianic congregations all over the
globe, the weekly Torah portion is read on the Sabbath.
Traditionally associated with the parashah is a small selection
called the Haftarah, meaning "conclusion." This is usually a
segment from the Prophets or Writings of the Tanakh (Old Testament)
which bears a thematic connection to the Torah reading. While the
custom of considering a prophetic section arose during tenuous
times in Jewish history when the people were forbidden to study
from the Law of Moses, it was something firmly in place during the
time of Yeshua (Jesus) and the Apostles (Luke 4:16-17; Acts 13:15).
Commonly in some parts of today's Messianic community, we tend to
forget that the Torah makes up the foundation of the Holy Writ, but
by no means is the whole of the Holy Writ. Messianic Believers have
a great blessing to consider the associated text from the Haftarah
every week along with their Torah studies, from which they can
derive additional spiritual insight and blessings. In consulting
both the Torah and Haftarah selections together, then we can all
see the great and mighty acts of God throughout Biblical history
and His interactions with Israel. We can be especially more in tune
with what it means to see Yeshua "in the Law of Moses and the
Prophets and the Psalms" (Luke 24:44). TorahScope Haftarah
Exhortations is a compilation of insightful, encouraging messages
that take into consideration the weekly Torah and Haftarah
portions, gleaned from the studies and notes of William Mark Huey.
It is the author's sincere hope and desire that his thoughts will
give you key instructions in how we can be fully used by our
Heavenly Father as faithful vessels for His service today.
The seven-week period between the Biblical festivals of Passover
and Shavuot, or Pentecost, is the season of Counting the Omer
(Leviticus 23:10-16; Deuteronomy 16:9-11). Originally in the
Tabernacle and Temple of Ancient Israel, the priests were to
present special offerings before the Lord each day for the
fifty-day count. Psalm 67 was among the hymns recited and employed
to offer praise and adoration to Him. Since the destruction of the
Second Temple, various Jewish traditions have been developed in
order to make the seven-week or fifty-day Omer Count a very special
time to focus on God, His blessings, and the important themes of
Shavuot. Today's Messianic Believers can surely benefit from any
discipline where God's people can review various Scripture passages
for a set time, and allow themselves to be prepared for great
things when the Feast of Weeks is finally observed. The awesome
wisdom and goodness of our Heavenly Father are things definitely
worthy of exploration and contemplation, via a reflection upon the
themes of various Psalms, and how they relate to our understanding
of Shavuot and our faith in Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus Christ).
Counting the Omer: A Daily Devotional Toward Shavuot is a
compilation of insightful, encouraging messages that examines a
passage from Psalms every day for the fifty-day Omer Count season.
Each exhortation is intended to prepare you for the commemoration
of Shavuot (Pentecost) at the end of seven weeks. Gleaned from the
studies and notes of William Mark Huey, it is the author's intent
that God's people can not only be energized to Count the Omer
themselves--but be specially prepared to experience His presence
when the Feast of Weeks finally arrives
