The study of the Bible in its historical context - with a focus on the archaeology, history, geography, customs , culture, and even the languages of the ancient Middle East. WE ask what did they understand THEN - the original intent of the Lord - so that we can expand and enrich our understanding NOW and thus become true disciples of Adonai Yeshua as in John 8:31-32.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 3
GOD'S PARADIGM OF SALVATION OF THE WORLD
In this lesson we continue on with the events in Joseph's life leading up to his brothers nearly trying to kill him. Judah saves Joseph and the brothers decide to sell Joseph to the Midianite or Ishmaelite traders. There is a question any of us would ask if we read the story carefully. For example check out Gen. 37:36 and Gen. 39:1. Who sold Joseph to the Egyptians? In one verse it says the Midianites and in the other verse it says the Ishmaelites? What is going on? Does this mean the Bible is a book with error and irreconcilable issues? NOPE. We will see the Bible actually helps us with the solution to this supposedly impossible issue.
So, Joseph is 1) hated by his brothers and 2) they are jealous or envious of Joseph and 3) the plot to kill him. But remember the rabbis of old recognized something truly amazing. The Lord is uses PARADIGMS or patterns, templates, or models. It is the Lord taking a person or event that becomes a prototype (synonym for paradigm) for another person in the future or an event in the future. The rabbis have a saying for this ...
חיי האבות הם סימנים לבנים
HaYay HaAvot Seemaneem Lay Baneem
The Lives of the Fathers are Signs for the Sons
In light of this the rabbis early on connected Joseph to the Messiah. They said Joseph was a prototype of the Messiah. For us that means Jesus. And just as we will see in this podcast that Joseph is 1) hated by his brothers and 2) they are jealous or envious of Joseph and 3) the plot to kill him. We also see that Jesus was 1) hated by his brothers (fellow countrymen) and 2) they were jealous of Him and 3) they met in secret to plot how to kill Him. Joseph is a paradigm of the coming Messiah, our Jesus. Joseph is God's model of what a savor of the world should be like. Joseph saved the world with the bread of the earth. Jesus saved the world with Himself and through Himself with the bread from heaven.

Link 1 - a great article from the awesome website, Hebrew4Christians, focusing on one title of the Messiah the rabbis used in the time after the 3rd century A.D., "Maschiach ben Yosef," or Messiah the son of Joseph. This has to do with the fact the rabbis recognized that the Messiah had to suffer and even die. They also recognized that the Messiah would also be victorious as well and establish the throne of Israel in Jerusalem in the days called "The Messianic Age" or the day Messiah comes to rule and reign - https://www.hebrew4christians.com/Articles/Mashiach_ben_Yosef/mashiach_ben_yosef.html

Tuesday Oct 24, 2023

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 1
GOD'S PARADIGM OF SALVATION OF THE WORLD
We have come to Genesis 39 which is the beginning of the story of Joseph of the "many colored coat." Joseph (Yosef in Hebrew or Yosef Ben Ya'akov - Joseph the son of Jacob) was the prized and most beloved son of Jacob. This love seemingly created a deep jealously between Joseph and his brothers that led to them nearly killing him and finally selling Joseph into slavery. But, that's part of this awesome Bible study journey we are now to embark on.
(Below - free picture - permission to use - non commercial - accessible at FreeBibleImages.org)
In this Bible study journey we will be put face to face with the Paradigms of Adonai. A paradigm can also be described as a pattern, a template. We might even say it relates to a the idea of a mirror image. An example is in the first Passover where we hear of the Passover Lamb picked by each father for his family to be sacrificed the night God will send death upon all first born in Egypt. The is a mirror image of the Passover of Messiah, our Lord who is the Lamb of God. The lambs are not the same but they seem to mirror each other. Paul seems to teach this when we read ...
Therefore no one is to act as your judge in regard to food or drink or in respect to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day-- things which are a mere shadow (like on being a mirror image of another - a shadow) of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.
(Col 2:16-17)
Check this out in the podcast entitled, "The Mirror of Passover," at this link - https://youtu.be/ipaeu7AQZ8Y?si=2DlVO_ifvOIFP8z6
Our journey begins with this idea of God's Paradigms, His Patterns or His Templates. Again and again Yahvay shows us that what came before shows up again and again. The rabbis saw this early on in God's Word. Maimonides, the great Jewish scholar of the late 12th century said ...
חיי האבות הם סימנים לבנים
HaYay HaAvot Seemneem Lay Baneem
The Lives of the Fathers are Signs for the Sons
It is like the first Passover lamb. It was the lamb of the fathers, the Hebrews coming out of Egypt. Its blood on the wood of the doorposts was a sign to the Lord to spare this family from His wrath He was pouring out on Egypt. The Passover lamb was a sign for the future Lamb of God who would come and whose blood on the wood of the cross would also deliver Jew and Gentile from God's wrath for those choosing Yeshua as Lord and God and Savior. This is a clear example of God's Paradigm. One of many.
Another is the Jubilee year. We read about it in Lev. 25 ...
The Year of Jubilee
Lev 25:8 'You are also to count off seven sabbaths of years for yourself, seven times seven years, so that you have the time of the seven sabbaths of years, namely, forty-nine years.
Lev 25:9 'You shall then sound a ram's horn abroad on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of atonement you shall sound a horn all through your land.
Lev 25:10 'You shall thus consecrate the fiftieth year and proclaim a release through the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a jubilee for you, and each of you shall return to his own property, and each of you shall return to his family.
Lev 25:11 'You shall have the fiftieth year as a jubilee; you shall not sow, nor reap its aftergrowth, nor gather in from its untrimmed vines.
Lev 25:12 'For it is a jubilee; it shall be holy to you. You shall eat its crops out of the field.
Lev 25:13 'On this year of jubilee each of you shall return to his own property.
The 50 year Jubilee also becomes part of God's Paradigms. One scholar who deals with this extensively is the Messianic rabbi, Jonathan Cahn.
I highly recommend you check out his books, "The Oracle" or another awesome book of his, "The Paradigm." In these books Rabbi Jonathan Cahn details how the 50 year Jubilee is also used by God as a paradigm, a pattern or template if you will to be a sign for us now, today. Here's his website - http://www.hopeoftheworld.org/
So let us begin our awesome journey into the life of Joseph. He is a clear example of those words we read ...

Genesis - 82 - Gen. 35:27-29 and 36 - RED

Tuesday Sep 05, 2023
So when one simply reads the Bible there are verses we read and we don't understand the explosive meaning and connections there are. We definitely should read the Bible. No doubt about it. But, along with simple reading of the word is to study His word. It is one reason I am doing these podcasts - we are going deeper into our understanding and expanding our knowledge of the Lord's word.
In this podcast, lesson 82, we will study two such scriptures. It'll be amazing to you as it was to me to learn what is really going on. And again, it is NOT my opinion but as you will see THE VERY WORDS OF GOD as our "bread of life." One of these verses takes us from Genesis to Revelation. It shows us that those who are like "anti-Christ" are found in an amazing "string" of Bible characters all the way back to the days of Jacob and Esau.
Hold on - you are about to take an awesome ride from the camp of Isaac to facing the GREAT RED DRAGON. Ready?

Exodus 48 Part 2 - Exod. 20:18-26 - IF YOU BUILD ME AN ALTAR
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
Wednesday Aug 30, 2023
LESSON 48 PART 2
In part 2 of lesson 48 we learn that the Lord implies to all Israel that they need to be in His word; they need to remember His awesomeness, His power, His absolute greatness, and that He is God and God alone, the only God who does and will judge and punish sin. He suggests this by saying His people need to remember what the Lord showed them and what they SAW at Sinai. God said this was to prove Himself so that Israel would remember and thus be prevented from sin and turning from the Lord.
So, for us, this seems to suggest we need to emphasize His written word. We too need to remember His awesomeness, His power, His absolute greatness, and that He is God and God alone, the only God who does and will judge and punish sin. We need His written word to shows us the goal, the target, the whole purpose of His written word, and that is JESUS!
But, you are not going to understand this if you just read the Bible. There is a Bible you can buy called the ONE YEAR BIBLE. Link to the One Year Bible - https://www.amazon.com/One-Year-Bible-NLT/dp/1414302045 and here's a link to the website where you can simply download the reading plan and use your own Bible - https://oneyearbibleonline.com/?version=51&startmmdd=0101 The reading schedule gives you scriptures to read daily. If you follow the schedule you will read the entire Bible in one year. This is an awesome tool.
But, just reading the Bible will NOT answer the big questions. In the Bible there is NO scripture that says Jesus is God. You will not find it anywhere. Also, since all they had was the Hebrew Scriptures in Jesus' day, the Old Testament, one asks what is the GOSPEL? What is the good news? By reading the Bible only, again which is a very good thing, it will not give you the deeper and more expanded idea of what the gospel really is.
It is like asking where in the Bible does is say abortion is a sin? It doesn't! No where. But it does!! God said this ...
"When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations which you are going in to dispossess, and you dispossess them and dwell in their land, beware that you are not ensnared to follow them, after they are destroyed before you, and that you do not inquire after their gods, saying, 'How do these nations serve their gods, that I also may do likewise?' "You shall not behave thus toward the LORD your God, for every abominable act which the LORD hates they have done for their gods; for they even burn their sons and daughters in the fire to their gods. "Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.
(Deu 12:29-32)
God said don't do what the pagans do! What did the pagans do? They practiced sex outside of marriage. It was part of their temple rituals to their gods. God said don't do what they do. So, God just condemned pre-marital sex! Also, the pagans practiced abortion. Yes, many pagan nations did child sacrifice but I am specifically talking about abortion. The Ancient Greeks said abortion was legal. Rome as well. And an ancient Egyptian papyrus was found dated to the 15th century B.C., at least 100 years before the Exodus, which was a medical book. In that medical book it specified specific techniques for abortion. Imagine, the Hebrews were in Egypt for all those years in a culture that practiced abortion. And, what did God say? He said don't do what these pagans do. They did abortion. So, God is saying abortion is a major sin, an abomination. You'll only get this from Bible study and not just reading the Bible. We need both. But you can't have one without the other.
Here are two links to read about that Egyptian papyrus and that Egypt did practice abortion prior to Moses' day.
Link 1 - https://muvs.org/en/topics/termination-of-pregnancy/abortion-in-antiquity-en/
Link 2 - https://ancientegyptianfacts.com/ancient-egypt-abortion.html#google_vignette
Everyone in those days had gods and rituals and temples and a worldview. Pagan religion had altars to sacrifice to their gods. The Lord, Adonai (His name is יהוה probably pronounced YAH VAY not YAH WAY since there is no "W" sound in Hebrew) probably knew that His people would want to also use altars as part of their praise and thanksgiving to Adonai. So, the Lord gives specific directions on ho altars to be used for Him are to be built. Amazingly archaeology gives us insights into why the Lord gave these detailed specific instructions. Once again it has to do with all the pagan nations around the Hebrews. Once again God is saying DON'T BE LIKE THEM and separate yourselves from them and what they do. God's instructions for altars separates His people from the ancient pagans. But, that is for us as well. Paul is only being a good Torah teacher when he wrote ...
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and gave Himself up for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God as a fragrant aroma. But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Therefore do not be partakers with them; (Eph 5:1-7)
Just as the Lord instructed His chosen so does the Lord instruct us, His chosen in Yeshua, in Messiah, in Christ, not to do what the pagans do. It is right there in front of us. And you do not learn this by simply reading the Bible. Study. Study. Study. May His word be absorbed by you BODY and MIND and SPIRIT since God's word is His bread of life as we read in Deut. 8:3.

Exodus 48 - Exod. 20:18-26 WHAT DID THEY REALLY SEE ON SINAI?
Tuesday Aug 29, 2023
Tuesday Aug 29, 2023
Lesson 48 Part 1
Adonai, the Lord, His name is probably pronounced Yahvay (there is NO "W" sound in Hebrew), has just completed giving the words of His Covenant (see Exod. 34:28) in Hebrew עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים Aseret HaDevarim or the Ten Statements or Words. We know them as the Ten Commandments (NOTE: the phrase the Ten Commandments is not in the Bible only עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים Aseret HaDevarim). It was an amazing event but the Lord now makes known to all of us that this event was beyond amazing, beyond miraculous. It was incomprehensible. It was beyond understanding. There is more to this event at Mt. Sinai than we imagined. I t had to do to what they saw the day God came to give them the words of the covenant. What did they see?
More than that God shows us that the giving of the Ten Commandments is tied to His feast we read about in Acts 2. It seems related to what the Hebrews SAW when God gave them the Ten Commandments. In Acts 2 all the religious Jews, the Gentile converts to Judaism called proselytes, and other Gentiles who believed in the Jewish God and were called God Fearers, were celebrating God’s “appointed time” of Shavuot or the Feast of Weeks. In Greek it is named Pentecost. It is so awesome to see that the words God inspired Moses to write in Exod. 20:18-26 and the words God inspired Luke to write in Acts 2 suggest a connection between Sinai and Jerusalem. We missed of course since few of us have had Bible studies that focus on the Jewish culture in 1446 B.C., in 30 A.D. or studies that help us understand the Greek and the Hebrew. But, the good news is that the Lord will not let this continue. Today He is moving to bring us tools and teachers to take us deeper into His word.
In this lesson I mentioned a number of articles that sadly discuss that many Christian churches today neglect to teach the word of God. It is one this to read the Bible but quite another to understand it. An example is you read the Bible and you believe that Jesus is God. OK, the Bible never uses the phrase, “Jesus is God” or Jesus never says “I am God.” OK, so you read the Bible. Big deal. You now need a teacher to help get at how the Bible shows that Jesus is God. So, one just can’t read the Bible. It needs to be taught. Both are critical for all Christians. And yet, many churches have given up on teaching the Bible. Check out the superb articles at the links below.

Genesis - 81 - Gen. 35:1-5 - RETURN OF THE GODS
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
Thursday Aug 24, 2023
This is the first time God, Yahvay, in His TORAH ( תּוֹרָה - TORAH - instruction not law) through the words of Jacob where the Lord tells us to get rid of the pagan gods. This focus of the Lord is found again and again in His Word. For instance the Lord tells Moses and all Israel that He is not coming to destroy Egypt and its people and the Pharaoh. NO! He says ...
"For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments--I am the LORD." (Exo 12:12)
He will execute judgments against the gods of Egypt. Later the Lord says that the gods the Hebrews took on in Egypt were not gods but שׁדים SHEDEEM H7700, 7736- wicked & destructive spirits that are called "demons" in Greek. We find this in Deuteronomy 32.
"They sacrificed to demons (שׁדים SHEDEEM H7700, 7736) who were not God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers did not dread." (Deu 32:17)
As one studies the Ten Commandments we read ...
Then God spoke all these words, saying, "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself an idol, or any likeness of what is in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the water under the earth." (Exo 20:1-4)
Over and over again the Lord speaks against the pagan gods, idols, pagan practices, and idolatry. Just like in the Ten Commandments we are to remember who God really is and then not to have any other gods before Him. But, there are NO other gods. The Bible is very clear on this.
"See now that I, I am He, And there is no god besides Me; It is I who put to death and give life. I have wounded and it is I who heal, And there is no one who can deliver from My hand." (Deu 32:39)
"Do not tremble and do not be afraid; Have I not long since announced it to you and declared it? And you are My witnesses. Is there any God besides Me, Or is there any other Rock? I know of none." (Isa 44:8)
"I am the LORD, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. I will gird you, though you have not known Me; ... " (Isa 45:5)
So all the pagan gods of Egypt, the Canaanites, Greece, and Rome are not gods by שׁדים SHEDEEM!! These are evil spiritual entities - not devils, not fallen angels, but SHEDEEM. God through Jacob is now telling us to put away the שׁדים SHEDEEM among us.
But have we? It seems that the USA has turned against God in a big way. Our "house" was a Christian house but it has been "cleaned out" of God, His Word, His Salvation, our Jesus. Jesus warns against this.
"Now when the unclean spirit goes out of a man, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to my house from which I came'; and when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept, and put in order. Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there; and the last state of that man becomes worse than the first. That is the way it will also be with this evil generation." (Mat 12:43-45)
The spiritual "house" of the USA is cleaned out. We've taken God out of our lives, our society, our government, our schools, and even many of our churches (few teach God's word our "bread of life") Thus, it seems clear that by THE VERY WORDS OF GOD that we should see THE RETURN OF THE GODS by Jesus' own words. And these "gods" seemingly have returned. They are not gods but the שׁדים SHEDEEM.
Check out the interviews with the Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn parts 1 and 2.
In these interviews Jonathan talks about this idea that the pagan gods have returned to America and it explains so much of the chaos, evil, death, hate, and destruction around us. שׁדים SHEDEEM has a Hebrew root word that means "destruction." Here's the links to these videos ...

Part 2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_axTQ5Xquvg
More than this however is his commentary on the most popular movie of all time worldwide, "Barbie." This is no "child's movie;" it is an evil adult attempt to indoctrinate young girls to the anti God culture. It is a teaching tool for girls to reject womanhood, motherhood, and having children in Godly marriage. It is as if an ancient evil destructive goddess has returned, a SHEDEEM, and is symbolized in this doll called Barbie. It is as if Barbie is an idol of Ishtar whose picture is below.
The picture above is of the ancient goddess, Ishtar, and is royalty free and accessible at Wikimedia.
Check out the awesome and disturbing commentary on the "Barbie" movie by Rabbi Jonathan Cahn. .
The Mystery Of Barbie, Ishtar, and Smashed Babies! - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKp-A6BBg-E
So in God's TORAH we see over and over again the Lord's focus against pagan gods, idols and idolatry. But, there are no other gods. Yes. That is true. But not the שׁדים SHEDEEM that were behind the worship of all the pagan gods. God knows this is REAL and this REALITY is of the utmost danger to us.
