Don't Forget to
This Parashah covers Pharaoh's two dreams and Joseph's interpretation, Joseph's rise to power over Egypt, and the visit of Joseph's brothers.
The Torah Portion Miketz is a very important portion for us to really understand. In my studies of the Ancient Near East there were patterns that were repeated all around the nations as a way to acknowledge authority. The Ancient Enthronement ceremonies were done by all the nations of the time.
The Israelite way of enthronement used elements of the ancient Egyptians and those elements are present in the story of Joseph and they help us understand to a greater degree the language used by the writers of the First Century writers specially John and Paul.
They used elements of ancient enthronement language all over the New Testament. I pray this long teaching will give you a glimpse of the amount of information we really need to learn to grasp the higher purpose of YHVH in recognizing Yeshua as the future literal king on the earth.
This page includes Torah Portions from multiple years covered by Wisdom in Torah. Each year we covered the Torah from a different perspective so you can explore each Parashah from a different perspective and focus.
- 2010 Portions: Focus on Messianic connections in the Parashah
- ANET Portions: Focus on the ancient Near Eastern cultural context of the Parashah
- Mitzvot Portions: Focus on explaining and exploring the commandments found in the Parashah (in progress)
- 2015 Portions: Revisiting the Parashah looking at the ancient cultural context more in depth with additional areas that have been researched
- Brit Portions: Focus on connecting the Brit Hadashah (New Testament) to the Parashah

Rico;WOW!!WOW!! you always bring out things in your teaching, that in around about way the ones that fellow TORAH kind of see some of these things; but you bring more out, this is one of the reason I’m so thankful to be back on your website, Seen I have missed so much, but maybe I can catch up the things I have missed.I have HRN on my roku but it won’t stay on, it goes off and on,so I miss a lot of teaching.THANK YOU AGAIN MY FRIEND.
Dang, this is crazy good… Thanks Rico!
Thank you Rico, for a wonderful Sabbath teaching…. Shalom brother.
Lots of great info on this portion/first century writings, it is so helpful. I have longed for this direction and not meaning to make the Torah less in value. But there has been so much misunderstanding of the time of the Messiah. Thank you Rico for your dedication to open the door of understanding.
Shalom my friend

Thank you my brother I will see you very soon.
I still do not see why Yeshua was tortured and suffered in such way? Could you explain to me thanks, shalom
Hi Vivian,
I will be releasing a series on this that I recorded with HRN here in a few weeks called ‘The Gospel of the Suffering Servant’ that will go very in depth into why Yeshua had to be tortured and to suffer. In a nutshell, Yeshua came to earth and joined us in our suffering, he went through the ultimate shaming like many before and after him. This is why I do not use the language that the church uses of Messiah dying in our place because it implies that he bore the suffering and death that we should endure, which then implies that we shouldn’t suffer any longer. This is a western Christian doctrine that simply does not make sense, especially for those Christians in the middle east who endure suffering, torture, and death all the time at the hands of Islam.
I would propose that the real truth of why Yeshua had to be tortured and shamed IN PUBLIC is that it served as a witness that regardless of what unjust and wicked men do to us, we know that God is faithful to resurrect us from the dead because He was faithful to resurrect Yeshua! If you study extra-biblical history, we know that almost all of the original apostles suffered horrific death for the sake of the gospel of Yeshua. Had God not raised Yeshua from the dead, would they have been willing to suffer as such?
Yeshua came down as a king willing to join his people in their suffering in order to redeem us out of our condition.
Thank you Ryan for this answer although it wasn’t addressed to me; it definitely answers a lot of questions I’ve had for several years. I have had chronic pain for almost 30 years and have been made to feel badly as Christians always said if I had faith I could be healed and if I had enough faith, I would have enormous wealth, etc., etc., Thankfully, I was never made to feel at home in any Christian church where I went.
I was even told by pastors and others that God is punishing me and I must have done something to anger Him. I felt terrible going to these places, so eventually stopped going altogether. I’m thankful to God for Rico and yourself, Ryan. I’m learning so much more about Torah and about our Elohim. Many blessings to you both!
Thank you Ryan. Great job on 2015 Honor & shame.
Awesome teaching Ryan! Thank you so much!
Shalom!
Thank you, Rico for this blessing. May you and your family have a blessed Shabbat
