LIGHT OF MENORAH

Genesis - Lesson 76 - Gen.31:19 - Rachel steals the gods

 

God executes Rachel.  She stole the family gods.  The orthodox rabbis say God delayed executing her until Benjamin was born.  But, we never read this in the Bible.  Matter of fact when we truly analyze it that God would execute Rachel makes no sense and even contradicts the Bible.  Come and join us in this study.  By putting the Bible back into its historical context we are blessed by His Spirit to have our knowledge of His word expanded and our faith enriched.

Purim Video Podcast Announcement

(NOTE: the "play" button is above the picture above - click on the white triangle in the orange circle)

This video introduces a major podcast video lesson on the book of Esther and Purim.  How is Jesus related to the book of Esther?  He said in John 5:39 ...

"You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;" (Joh 5:39)

So how does the book of Esther testify of Jesus?  It is all dependent upon one word in the entire book.  This will amaze you and for Christians the feast of Purim becomes special for us as well.  Watch the video to access the video podcast Bible study lesson.

Genesis - 75 - Gen. 31:1-5 - KNOW God

 

The תּוֹרָה TORAH is The Very Word of God.  It means INSTRUCTION AND not LAW.  God is teaching His chosen treasured possession, Israel.  He is instructing them and trying to get Egypt out of Israel.  What that means is that those Hebrews who had become enslaved in Egypt had assimilated into the Egyptian pagan culture.  This began to happen after Joseph died.  So, the Hebrews, all they knew when God came to rescue them, was the pagan religion of Egypt and her gods. Torah then is God's inspired word He commands Moses to write and it is meant for those "first hearers," the Hebrews coming out of Egypt.

As we learn those ancient lessons God was teaching over 3400 years ago, our understanding becomes enhanced and expanded.  Once we know what they knew then the word and God's lessons will make sense to us as well.  This is true for the story of Jacob.  It is true for the entire Torah.  In this lesson we find that God wants more out of Jacob and us than simply "head knowledge."  The Lord wants us to KNOW Him.  But, we will see in the Hebrew that it is KNOWING by living, KNOWING by experience, and KNOWING by interaction with Adonai.  The events here in Genesis 31 demonstrate exactly.  So, come.  Let's go study.  Let's learn how Jacob began to KNOW the Lord so that we too will see this is what our Father wants from us right from the get go.

Truth Nugget 25 - JESUS WAS HERE - MAGDALA SYNAGOGUE

 

The Magdala Synagogue is the name used for the first of two ancient synagogues discovered at the ancient city of Magdala in Israel, close to the shore of the Sea of Galilee. The synagogue was in use in the Second Temple period, which places them among the oldest synagogues found in Israel. Inside the synagogue a carved stone was found representing the Menorah, the seven-branched candelabrum that was located in the Second Temple, making it the oldest such representation in a Jewish context and one that appears to have been made by an individual who had seen the Menorah in the Temple. What is so awesome is in Matt. 4:23 Jesus is said to have taught in all the synagogues in the Galilee. So this is where Jesus visited and taught. Come and join us to "walk in the dust of Rabbi Jesus" and follow Him in His footsteps - the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the only God our Savior and Messiah, Jesus.
