וַיֹּ֨אמֶר מֹשֶׁ֜ה אֶל־יְהֹוָ֗ה רְ֠אֵ֠ה אַתָּ֞ה אֹמֵ֤ר אֵלַי֙ הַ֚עַל אֶת־הָעָ֣ם הַזֶּ֔ה וְאַתָּה֙ לֹ֣א הֽוֹדַעְתַּ֔נִי אֵ֥ת אֲשֶׁר־תִּשְׁלַ֖ח עִמִּ֑י וְאַתָּ֤ה אָמַ֙רְתָּ֙ יְדַעְתִּ֣יךָֽ בְשֵׁ֔ם וְגַם־מָצָ֥אתָ חֵ֖ן בְּעֵינָֽי׃

Vaiyomer Moshe El-Adonai re-eh at-tah omer e-lay ha-al et-ha-am hazeh v’at-tah lo hodat-tani et asher-tishlach em-mi v’at-tah amart-tah yedat-tiyka v’shem v’gam-matza-ta hen b’eynay

Moses said to GOD, “See, You say to me, ‘Lead this people forward,’ but You have not made known to me whom You will send with me. Further, You have said, ‘I have singled you out by name, and you have, indeed, gained My favor.’

Here in the Year 5786/2026 we see; regarding the “Land of the Philistines” – Gaza, Hashem now is leading His people Israel straight into the land! He is sending His Ruach, and His Mashiach Milchamah, in before them, His Malak goes before them today to drive out violence! Could it be that Adonai’s Ruach is about to breathe His breath upon the sons of Yaacov and bring fulfillment of Yechezkel’s words in Perek 37 Pasuk 13 today?

This week we celebrate the Lamb without spot who caused the Judgement, Wrath, and even Death to Passover the Sons of Yaakov and bring them out of Mitsrayim. Moshe asks Adonai to forgive Israel’s sin and in Shemote (Exodus 32:34) Hashem’s answer “Go now, lead the people where I told you. See, Malaki (my Angel) shall go before you.” But in Shemote (Exodus 33:14) And He said, “I will go in the lead and will lighten your burden.” This Malak (sent one) is sent with the full authority of God, and is even Hashem himself, bringing His people in, and forgiving sin, for Hashem has said “I will go in the lead”.

Hashem told His Navi Yechezkel to prophesy over His people about the day when they would truly enter into the Land. (Ezekiel 37:11-14) And He said to me, “O mortal, these bones are the whole House of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up, our hope is gone; we are doomed.’ 12 Prophesy, therefore, and say to them: Thus said the Lord GOD: I am going to open your graves and lift you out of the graves, O My people, and bring you to the land of Israel. 13 You shall know, O My people, that I am the LORD, when I have opened your graves and lifted you out of your graves. I will put My breath into you and you shall live again, and I will set you upon your own soil. Then you shall know that I the LORD have spoken and have acted”—declares the LORD.

And in the Oral Tradition – (Gen. 47:30:) WHEN I SLEEP WITH MY ANCESTORS…. Why do all the ancestors search for and cherish burial in the land of Israel?15 R. Hananiah said: R. Joshua ben Levi said: There is a reason for this (in Ps. 116:9): I WILL WALK BEFORE THE LORD IN THE LANDS OF THE LIVING. Our masters have said two things in the name of R. Helbo: Why did the ancestors cherish the land of Israel for burial? Because the dead in the land of Israel shall be the first to revive in the days of the Messiah and enjoy the messianic years. [Midrash Tachuma Buber, Vayechi 6:1]

King Messiah Yeshua is our Pesach, the Malak, and the “I will go in the lead”, who will bring in the Greater Exodus spoken of by the Prophets and Yechezkel this week.
