Unlock Heaven’s secret to true freedom (Deuteronomy 14–16)

"Unlock Heaven's secret to true freedom (Deuteronomy 14-16)." Adobe Stock photo of a man's two fists lifted up against the sky with sunset lighting on clouds and a shackle between the wrists breaking.

The Torah reading רְאֵה Re’eh (“see,” Deut. 11:26–16:17) lays out a pivotal choice: blessing or curse, life or death. Will we cling to the world’s seductive but fleeting allures, or embrace God’s vision of true and lasting freedom? As each of us journeys from bondage to our past to the Promised Land, the LORD calls us to reflect His generous, restorative heart.

Through Torah instructions like debt release, tithe, Sabbath rest and the festivals of Passover, Pentecost and Tabernacles, the Creator invites us to loosen our grip on earthly treasures and find our true security in Him. This is no mere ritual, but a foretaste of the coming Messianic era when God will dwell with His people forever. What will you choose — the path of life or the road to ruin?

Torah reading Re’eh (ראה): Deuteronomy 11:26-16:17

Studies in Torah

Common advice in this world is, “Follow your heart.” But in the Torah reading רְאֵה Re’eh (“see,” Deut. 11:26–16:17), we learn that God wants to transform our way of thinking, so our desires will take us in a wiser direction. Discover through these studies how this Bible passage explains the reborn-heart approach to the Second, Third and Fourth commandments on blasphemy, idolatry and weekly stopping what we’re doing to remember the rest God gives us.

‘Gods you have not known’: How the 3rd Commandment can save a world drowning in misinformation (Deuteronomy 12–13)

'Gods who you have not known': How the 3rd Commandment can save a world drowning in misinformation (Deuteronomy 12-13)

The Torah reading רְאֵה Re’eh (“see,” Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17) focuses on explaining the Second, Third and Fourth Commandments. Because of all the talk these days about misinformation, we’re going to focus on Heaven’s instructions for discerning truth from error and falsehood. And that’s drawn from Moshe’s elucidation on the Third Commandment, found in Deuteronomy 13:1–14:21.

And from that command we learn why it is so important to know Who the LORD is and why Yeshua the Messiah (Jesus the Christ) came to “show us the Father.”

Deuteronomy 11–15: Get to know the LORD better by Heaven’s statutes and judgments

Don't Chuck the Torah Getting to Know Yeshua through the Torah

Torah reading רְאֵה Re’eh (“see,” Deut. 11:26–16:17) immediately starts out with Moses’s reminder that God wants to bless the legacy of Israel in the land He provided, but He expects them to act in a certain manner. As His representatives on earth, the descendants of Israel are to act like Him, not like people of the nations around them.

Yeshua (Jesus), the Word of God made flesh, gave His apostles and those who would follow them the same advice: If you want to know how Yeshua walked and how to imitate Him, then all these stories will help you understand Yeshua better.

Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17: Learning to live a blessed life

Decisions (Photo by FreeImages.com/Paul de Bruin)

Blessing and cursing are very important Biblical principles. There are two ways of life, either under God’s blessing or under His curse. Emphasized in the Torah reading כי רְאֵה Re’eh (“see,” Deuteronomy 11:26–16:17) is we want to live under His blessing.

We live under God’s blessing when we read and apply Torah. When we screw up, we still apply Torah to deal with our screwups. We are under God’s curse when we refuse to follow Torah. We all have experienced how bad life is when we refuse to obey God and walk in Torah. God can’t bless us when we are walking in sin. He can only bless obedience. He teaches us like we teach our own children.
