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.

In part two we continue are introduction to the Ten Commandments - Aseret HaDevareem or the Ten Statements. God says these ten statements are His covenant as in Exod. 34:28. But, is it a contract? Is is an agreement? Is this covenant like a treaty?
The Lord gives us what He means by a covenant. It is like nothing ever seen in history then or now. The prophets of Israel are inspired by Yahvay, the Lord, to help us understand this unique and very special covenant. We realize that this is a NEW Covenant given at the mountain of God, Mt. Sinai, to His special chosen ones, Israel, who are led by Moses, the shepherd. All this seems to relate to another NEW Covenant given by the Lord - our Yeshua - at the mountain of God, the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, to His chosen ones, His disciples, who are led by God's chosen one, Jesus, the Good Shepherd. The connections are too amazing. This must've been done one purpose. What is the Lord getting at? He is showing us that the 1st covenant, an integral part of God's redemption plan, needed to give birth to another New Covenant that brought completeness to His redemption plan. It was all related to the very words of God when Jesus said that all scripture testifies of Him in John 5:39.
So as we study the 1st it gives us an intimate connection to the 2nd. The 2nd finished what the 1st didn't address.
I mentioned other lessons you might consider studying. The first is Lesson 46 parts 1 &2 n this Exodus series. It sets the stage for the giving of the covenant at Sinai. Here's the link ...

Another series that even goes into this deeper are the podcasts entitled "The Archaeology of Pentecost/Shavuot." It is clear the Lord God is making an amazing connection between the first Passover and Pentecost and the 1st covenant and the 2nd covenant. Here's the link for this series.

Bible study on the Ten Commandments. This is not a study to re-teach the Ten Commandments. But as we put the Bible into its historical context, as we put the Bible back into its textual context, we begin to see things in a new light. This simply enriches our understanding of the Ten Commandments.
In Part 1 of lesson 1 we will ask if there are ten commandments or are they something else? And ten? Could there be 12 or 15 or 17 commandments? What is God's purpose in all this?
It is recommended that you listen to lesson 46 parts 1 & 2 first before jumping in to the extensive study of Exod. 20:1-17. Here's the links to lesson 46 parts 1 & 2.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 17
ALL ISRAEL BEFORE JOSEPH
144,000 BEFORE JESUS
Joseph - the prototype of Jesus
This can't be! No way! Is there a possible connection in the saga of Joseph where his father Jacob comes to Egypt - all Israel before Joseph - and the events in Revelation 7? Could be? Just as "all" Israel (Jacob's name) and his entire family is delivered from the terrible 7 years of famine) so too will ALL Israel be delivered and saved in the days of the return of Messiah. The saga of Joseph is so timely and has so much for us today in the 21st century.
In this podcast, as in part 1, I provide four valuable links to study the amazing connections between Joseph and Jesus. The first is a short video that is a great introduction to this topic. Here's the link ...
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKadh0fVCo
The second resource is an article at the excellent website "Hebrew4Christians." The article goes deeper into the connections between Joseph and Jesus providing over 60 indisputable connections solidly based upon scripture and not opinion or speculation. Here's link to the article ...
https://hebrew4christians.com/Articles/Mashiach_ben_Yosef/mashiach_ben_yosef.html
A third resource you must have access to is a scholarly paper written by my graduate studies advisor, Dr. Ron Mosely. In his paper Dr. Mosely discusses Joseph as a prototype of the the suffering Messiah just like David is a prototype of the conquering Messiah - https://www.academia.edu/3796976/Twice_Rejected_Mashiach_Ben_Joseph
The final link is to Netivyah (The Way of the Lord) ministries in Jerusalem. This is a Messianic Jewish ministry founded by Joseph Shulam, an amazing Jewish scholar who helps us reconnect to our Jewish roots of our faith. This link is to a book written by one of their resident scholars, Elhanan ben Avraham, "Moshiach ben Yosef (Messiah the Son Of Joseph)". I highly recommend you get this book and all the books you can buy from this ministry - https://netivyah.org/product/mashiach-ben-yoseph/
Another thing we studied in part 1 and it carries over into this podcast is what is a disciple? A disciple in Jesus' day is one who follows a rabbi and wants more than anything else to be just like the rabbi; a disciple wants to live a life so that they are a reflection of their rabbi. Here's the links I promised that are the vidcasts (videos) I did on the topic of Disciples and Apostles. The video is in two parts.
Part1 - Disciples and Apostles - https://lightofmenorah.podbean./e/truth-nugget-28-lesson-2-part-1-disciples-and-apostles/
Part2 - Disciples and Apostles - https://lightofmenorah.podbean.com/e/truth-nugget-28-lesson-2-part-2-disciples-and-apostles/
Here's a link to an excellent article on what a disciple was in the 1st century by Ray Vander Laan - https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/rabbi-and-talmidim
Ray has also done audio sessions on the concept of disciples of a rabbi in Jesus' day. I will link you to the audio library and it is easy to slide down to the studies regarding disciples. Check out the "Age of a Disciple" and the sessions entitled "Disciples Parts 1, 2, and 3" and the audio sessions "The Dust of the Rabbi." Here's the link - https://www.thattheworldmayknow.com/category/Audio
In this podcast I again mention that Bible study is a requirement for us as true followers of Jesus. Matter of fact there is a renowned Messianic Gentile scholar, Dwight Pryor, who suggests that a church must provide Bible study and classes in order to obey Jesus to make disciples. As one studies what it really means to be a disciple of our rabbi, our Lord and Savior, our Yeshua, we find that as our "rabbi" was sent to teach so too His disciples are called to be sent by Him to teach. But, to teach means we need to learn and thus we need to do Bible study. That's for all believers in the church and just a select few.
What is interesting, for those of us focused on the Jewish roots of our faith and our Hebrew heritage, is that the study of the Bible in Jesus' day was considered the highest form of worship! Not prayer. Not speaking in tongues. Not singing and music. No. None of these. The study of God's word by the young and the old in Jesus' day was considered at the top of the list for true followers of the Lord. Below are two links to two excellent articles discussing this. The first is written by Dwight Pryor - a highly credible and well known Gentile Messianic Christian Bible scholar and the second is written by Professor WA Liebenberg, a Messianic Jewish scholar at the Hebraic Roots Teaching Institute in Pretoria South Africa. These are a must read to understand that to be true disciples of Adonai yeshua requires Bible study and not just Bible reading. Check them out at these links ...

As we studied we encountered the contradiction between Gen. 46:27 where it says 70 came to Egypt and in Acts 7:14 it says 75. I mentioned I would provide you with the text of the Septuagint for Genesis 46 to show it was changed! The rabbis changed it. Shown below is Genesis 46 of the Septuagint.
Finally, I mentioned the links to study THE JEWISH RAPTURE. These are videos of my personal study of the rapture and how I found it to be already in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Old Testament. It is a totally Jewish concept and since we are "grafted in" as joint heirs with Israel it includes all of us as disciples of Adonai Yeshua. Here's the link to the videos.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 16
JOSEPH WAS SENT AND JESUS
AND NOW US
Joseph - the prototype of Jesus
This lesson once again delves into the indisputable fact that God set it up that Joseph of the "many colored coat" would be a paradigm, a model, a prototype of Jesus. What is fascinating is that this fact, supported again and again by scripture, would not have been understood until after Jesus was resurrected and had ascended to the Father. To see these connections between Joseph and Jesus, Jesus' life, actions, miracles, preaching, death, resurrection, and ascension need to be clearly understood first. It's as if the Lord did this for us today and for all Jewish people as well. It is as if the Lord set this up so that religious Jews non-Christians would see these connections that are God designed and inspired to help them see Jesus as the Messiah and the coming one who will sit on David's throne and bring "taykkoon olam" (תִּיקּוּן עוֹלָם - repairing the world).
So, one event in the saga of Joseph was when Joseph hid his silver cup in the sack of Benjamin. Joseph did this on purpose. He seems to be testing his brothers to see if they were truly repentant and had changed. So, in the saga of Joseph we find this famous event of the cup. Is this perhaps also a paradigm of Jesus and events in Jesus' life? Let's study and see what might be possible.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 14
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Joseph - the prototype of Jesus
In part one of lesson 95 we studied the Word of the Lord, the way and the truth and the life, and saw that the saga of Joseph is God's Torah, His instruction not law, for Jacob and his family then, for the 1st ones to read this saga of Joseph, the Hebrews about ready to cross the Jordan and enter God's promised land then, for the talmideem of Yeshua, the disiples of Jesus then and for us NOW, today, in the 21st century as we face unbelievable troubles and dangers and difficulties. What else is there? What else does God want us to learn from the story of Joseph?
In part 2 we continue our intense Torah study in the book of Genesis. In part 2 we begin to see a reason why, perhaps, why Jesus teaches us what the two greatest commandments of the books of Moses are. We learn of the Egyptian culture and their view of themselves as superior over all other peoples of the earth. We learn this attitude of feeling better than anyone else is a common bad characteristic of all cultures over all time. But, Jesus helps us understand two fundamental laws of Torah in Lev. 19:16 and Lev. 19:34. Jesus, the Lord, our God, helps us understand who are neighbor really is. So, ready to study? Ready to see that what Jesus taught is true in John 5:39? Ready to see how God teaches us now in the 21st century from the Torah, scripture 3400 years old?
Check out the video (link below) that introduces us to this amazing connection between Joseph and Jesus. What is so awesome is God inspired Moses to write about Joseph 3400 years ago. Little did Moses know how his writing would help us today to see how God predicted His ultimate SAVIOR OF THE WORLD from the story of Joseph as the prototype. Here's the link to the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQKadh0fVCo
Also, here's link to an awesome article at the website, "Hebrew4Christians." I linked you to the pages at this website that also give even more awesome connections between Yosef and Yeshua.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 13
BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE
Joseph - the prototype of Jesus
As we continue to study the saga of Joseph we see things become difficult for Jacob. He is given the choice of death by starvation or to trust Judah, his 4th born son of Leah, allow him to take Benjamin, the youngest son and only surviving son of Rachel, to Egypt and hopefully get Simon back, get food, and, most importantly, bring back Benjamin. One might say Jacob is between a rock and a hard place. In this lesson we will hear Jacob say that he falls into the hands of El Shaddai, the Almighty God.
The only Bible Jesus had and Paul was the Hebrew Scriptures (a.k.a. the Old Testament). In part 1 of lesson 95 we begin to see that this saga of Joseph and now his brothers and his dad, seems to be a way that Adonai teaches us about Himself. For many of us we know the "rest of the story" as did Jesus' talmideem (disciples) and later Paul. What this story teaches us about the Lord is so totally applicable to today. It is so totally applicable to the terrible situation Israel is in - the whole world turning against Israel and blaming them as being the terrorists and not Hamas. But, in this Torah lesson, in the saga of Joseph, we can see how Paul, a Torah scholar in hi sown right, came up with ...
And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. (Rom 8:28)
The only "Bible" Paul had was the Hebrew Scriptures. Torah, the first five books of the Bible, were the foundational books of the Bible. It seems clear to me that Paul's writings in all his letters was Torah based or based upon the teachings of his Rabbi, Messiah Yeshua, the Jesus the Christ. So, come join us as to study how this saga of Joseph was a powerful teaching (torah) from the Lord for all Israel coming out of Egypt, all Israel in Jesus' day, all Israel today, and for us.
Check out the video (link below) that introduces us to this amazing connection between Joseph and Jesus. What is so awesome is God inspired Moses to write about Joseph 3400 years ago. Little did Moses know how his writing would help us today to see how God predicted His ultimate SAVIOR OF THE WORLD from the story of Joseph as the prototype.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 12
GOD WORKS ALL THINGS TOGETHER FOR GOOD
TO BRING ABOUT HIS PURPOSES
Joseph - the prototype of Jesus
The TORAH (תּוֹרָה) - the first five books of the Bible - is often mistranslated by many as law. In Hebrew, however, we find …
The word "Torah" in Hebrew is derived from the root YERAH ירה, which in the hif'il conjugation means 'to guide' or 'to teach'. The meaning of the word is therefore "teaching", "doctrine", or "instruction"; the commonly accepted translation as "law" gives a wrong impression. (Rabinowitz, Louis; Harvey, Warren (2007). "Torah". In Berenbaum, Michael; Skolnik, Fred (eds.). Encyclopedia Judaica. Vol. 20 (2nd ed.). Detroit: Macmillan Reference. pp. 39–46)
As we continue our study of the saga of Joseph we come to Gen. 42:1-5. Jacob sons ten of his sons to Egypt to buy grain. Joseph is about to confront his brothers again after what they did to him more than a decade before. But, something is different. We begin to see God’s hand in restoring Joseph to his brothers and to his father, Jacob. We begin to see God working all things together, no matter what the circumstances, for good so as His purposes and plans are established.
But, the Lord also is telling us, teaching us, in His TORAH (תּוֹרָה) – His books of teaching and instruction – that this is a prototype of something coming, the days of the Messiah. For as Joseph is reunited with his brothers who rejected him, so too Jesus. He too will be reunified with His brothers, all of Israel. Paul got it. Paul writes that one day all Israel will be saved, all Israel will be disciples of Yeshua. So, no matter how bad things look or even if things are good, no matter. God will use all things to work together for the good, for His ultimate purposes. This is the lesson Yahvay (יהוה) our Lord is trying to get through to us in the saga of Joseph.
Check out the video (link below) that introduces us to this amazing connection between Joseph and Jesus. What is so awesome is God inspired Moses to write about Joseph 3400 years ago. Little did Moses know how his writing would help us today to see how God predicted His ultimate SAVIOR OF THE WORLD from the story of Joseph as the prototype.

Also, here's link to an awesome article at the website, "Hebrew4Christians." I linked you to the pages at this website that also give even more awesome connections between Yosef and Yeshua.

THE STORY OF JOSEPH - lesson 11
GOD'S SAVIORS
Joseph - the prototype of Jesus
In this lesson Joseph becomes second only to Pharaoh in all Egypt. As we study chapter 41 we see that indeed Joseph saves the world in the great famine that was in the area. And the amazing connections between Joseph and Jesus continue. Check out the video (link below) that introduces us to this amazing connection. What is so awesome is God inspired Moses to write about Joseph 3400 years ago. Little did Moses know how his writing would help us today to see how God predicted His ultimate SAVIOR OF THE WORLD from the story of Joseph as the prototype.
