The Torah portion of Miketz had quite a few connections to the Messiah. The second son of Yosef had a direct line to the messiah. The things that happened during Yosef’s time in Egypt pointed to the coming Messiah. And Yosef’s rule over Egypt and the known world set a pattern for the Messiah to follow.

The book of Leviticus begins with describing the sacrifices that were to take place in the Tabernacle. If any man desired to draw close to God, he would first have to offer up a sacrifice that serves as an atonement, allowing him to enter the presence of God.

In today’s world, there is no Temple, so it seems as though the sacrifices are obsolete and irrelevant. Despite this, Jews continue to study the sacrifices and the laws concerning them. Some teach that, when a person studies the laws and the sacrifices, it is as if he had offered up the sacrifices. Others teach that we should study so that we can offer sacrifices when Messiah comes and rebuilds the temple, as it says in the Midrash:

“Why do we begin the education of children with sacrifices? So that, when the redemption comes, in their days, they will know the order of the sacrifices … and will be prepared to go up to the Temple and offer the sacrifices and the Levitical services according to its prescribed order.”

The Torah portion of Beshalach has a few significant connections to the Messiah. The first is with the Jewish tradition of the story of Nahshon at the Red Sea. The second is the possible reason why Israel was able to cross through the Red Sea and not the Egyptians. The third is how the people of Israel are able to believe in Moshe, and in turn believe in the God Moshe believed in.
