Well, we began last week a study of the book of Numbers in chapter 15. We completed the first 21 verses, and we saw that the emphasis here was on worship, and let me say that differently, it was upon sacrifice, giving unto the Lord. And make no mistake about it, we see that biblically, there is a connection between worship and sacrifice, offering, giving to God.

We are going to learn today the consequences of shaul's Foolish heir, and why did he make such an error? Because he was not committed to God's plan, God's purposes, God's will, but rather he looked at things from a human perspective.

Well, we are going to be talking about worship today, and a main aspect of worship is offering, having the privilege in order to give to that which the Lord desires us to be involved in, meaning that we are generous people, that we are not stingy, that we do not think hard about whether we should give this or not, but our initial inclination is to provide it because God has commanded it and realize something, whatever God wants us to do, God will provide for us from His blessingsTo donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

It is very important. For every believer to walk in the will of God. And how do we understand that in a practical way, do the things that God has called you to do? You see, the enemy will tempt us to worry about other things that God hasn't told us to do that. It's not part of his will for our life, and we get distracted.

Well, we are still in the book of Numbers in chapter 14. And we're going to see a conclusion of this chapter in this study. And again, we're going to find out that the children of Israel, they have not been faithful. We see a different word that is used here, now in English, we would translate this Hebrew word as something which is libel or slanderous.

Last week in our study, we saw how Samuel the prophet addressed the people. And the context is important, because he had just made Shaul king over Israel, and he wanted the people to understand the implications of that action, which was led by the people's decision, and God gave the people what they asked for.

Well, we have seen that the children of Israel in this wilderness had not acted in faith. Now we can identify with that, because many times in our life, we don't identify and display faithfulness in our decisions, in our thoughts, in our words, and we all need to come before our Lord and Savior with a spirit of repentance, with a heavy heart, with a contrite heart, acknowledging that we have failed. But here's the good news when we approach God in this way, God who is love, who is merciful, who is gracious, who is forgiving, God will receive us unto Himself through that work of his only begotten son when he laid down his life in order that we might experience forgiveness and that eternal redemption.

We saw at the conclusion of our last study that Shaul was made king over Israel. And now in this chapter, a new chapter, chapter 12 of First Samuel. We're going to see a speech that Samuel, the Prophet, made before the people so that they would understand what they have asked for and what will be the outcome of having a king over them instead of serving the Lord directly.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

We have seen that the men of yevesh Gilad are under a threat, and we saw how Shaul the leader of Israel, how he wisely responded being led by the Spirit of God To follow prophetic truth in order to lead the people united against this threat of the evil one called nachash. And I made mention last week that that name nachash is the same Hebrew word for the serpent that was in the Garden of Eden.

Well, we're going to see that the children of Israel were certainly not faithful in the wilderness. Now, living in Israel, many times I share my faith with individuals, and they push back. That's fine. They're entitled to do that. That is their right. But one of the things that they say frequently is very problematic, and it shows a lack of awareness of the Word of God, because this is what frequently I hear, if Yeshua was truly the Messiah, do you think that our leaders, our people, would have rejected him? Well, I'm going to give you a good example that the answer to that question is yes. Why? To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

Even though Shaul was not a faithful King, we're going to see in this study, that he began in a most positive way. And the reason for that great success, initially is because he relied upon the Lord what God had provided to lead him in the direction of God's will. And there's a great message for us, and it's this, when we are believers, God will lead us, He will provide everything that we need in order to accomplish His will. In other words, as we've mentioned many times, God is always faithful.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

Well, we saw last week that Moses, he heard from God, and he took the children of Israel, and he knew the task that God had given to them, to take possession of the land. Now we need to know something, that Israel being in the land is a requirement. Nothing's going to move forward in God's plan and His purposes unless the Jewish people, and let me be more specific, the descendants of Yaakov.

We're going to see in this study that God felt very hurt by the people because they rejected the man of God. And of course, I'm speaking about Samuel, the prophet, and what we're going to see is some very clear indicators from the Word of God, that God was angry with the people, but that did not cause him to sabotage the next leader.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

We are coming to a most interesting time within the book of Numbers, because the children of Israel, they have been in the wilderness for quite a period of time. And what do we see? We see that God wants to give them an incentive. He wants Moses to stand out spies. Now the spies that we're talking about are individuals who and don't miss this important point. They are leaders of each tribe, and therefore they should have been men of renown, those who are honest, those who could be relied upon, those who will speak truth.

Our God is always faithful. And what I mean by that is this God never chooses someone for a purpose and then sets that one up for failure. And we're going to see a great example of God giving to Shaul everything that he needed in order to be successful, God wanted to use Shoal. But the problem is that Shoal was not a faithful man.

Take out your Bible and look with me to the book of Revelation and chapter 21 now, for the most part, what we're speaking about here is the new Jerusalem. And as I shared earlier with you, when we speak about eternity, where we're going to be forever and ever, is not in heaven, as we're going to see that the first Earth and the first heaven is going to pass away and be no more. There is going to be a second creation.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

Obviously, we know that we are not saved by our obedience, but if we have a saving faith, that saving faith is going to manifest itself in obedience, not because it leads to our salvation, but because salvation, which is a free Gift from God, leads to obedience.

Shalom andHhag Sameach, which is Happy Holiday. Now you have heard already, I'm sure that the emphasis of our life, if we're going to be disciples of the Messiah, the emphasis of our life, because the emphasis of His ministry was clearly on the kingdom of God. We see that when Messiah began his first message, he said, just like John the Baptist said, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. And therefore we see that his emphasis was indeed the kingdom of God. We also know that his parables focus in as well on the kingdom of God.

Now, we can be assured of something, that every human being was created by God. Now God also speaks about working in people's life, but be very careful those who receive the workmanship of God to edify us, to build us up, to change us, to do that work of repair, and we desperately need God to repair us. Those things are uniquely given to those who have entered into a covenant with him, and not just any covenant, but we're talking about the covenant known as the New Covenant, or the covenant of peace.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

In this study, we're going to see that Samuel, the Prophet, anoints Shaul as king. And there's going to be evidence that under shows leadership. He is not going to lead the people of Israel in a good way. He is not going to be submissive, but he is going to follow a heart that is not founded upon the word of God. So with that said, take out your Bible and look with me to First Samuel and chapter 10. To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

We are going to encounter a very unique situation in the Scripture. This evening, we are going to see how the Spirit of God moved among individuals and two individuals that were not even part of the group physically, but because their names were mentioned, they were recognized when the Spirit of God began to move equally, it moved upon them, even though they were not there presently. And we're going to see something else.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

In our last lesson, we have seen how both Shaul and a servant of his were approaching a city and that city was going to have a celebration, and that celebration had to do with a special sacrifice that Samuel, the Prophet was going to oversee, and he would be the one who blessed this event. So with that said, take out your Bible and look with me to First Samuel chapter nine. First Samuel chapter nine, and we're going to begin our study in verse 12.

Well, take out your Bibles and look with me, if you would, to the book of Numbers and chapter 11, the book of Numbers and chapter 11. Now let me just simply say that when we complain, it is displeasing to God and nothing good comes from complaining. And I believe that is a general rule for every type of relationship. People are not going to be benefited by complaining.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

The focus of today's lesson is going to be on God's response to the people's requests where they said, give to us a king. And the motivation for that request was for the children of Israel to be like all the other nations. This was not God's will. God had called Israel and set them apart for His purpose, that they would be a light unto the nations, that they would have an influence on all the people of the earth.

Well, God's leadership is necessary if we're going to be His servants. And we're going to be looking at a passage of scripture today that speaks about God leading the children of Israel when they traveled in the wilderness. Now we saw last week, we saw how God would be a cloud over the camp of Israel at at daytime and a pillar of fire by night. And we saw that there were benefits from that.

We saw last week that the elders of Israel made a tragic error. They wanted to assimilate and be like the nations, rather than being the treasured people that God had called Israel to be. Over and over, we see in the scripture that Israel is not supposed to be like the nations, but influence the nation to be that light unto the nations, that they might receive the revelation of God and join with God's people in an eternal covenant.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

Well, as you know, we are in the midst of a book study. In the book that we're studying is the book of Numbers, and we're now ready for numbers and chapter 10. Now in this section that we are going to look at in this night's study, we're going to focus in on some commandments, and these commandments all have to do with God leading the people.

Last week, we focused in on godly leadership, and we talked about Samuel, the Prophet, how he was truly a godly man, and he led Israel well all the days of his life. But what about the transition we're going to see that Samuel had the same problem that his predecessor did. I'm speaking about Ellie, who was the priest before Samuel, and we find that Ellie's sons did not walk in the way of their father, and likewise, unfortunately, when we look at Samuel's sons, we see that same thing today.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

Last week we emphasize Passover, because that passage of scripture that we spoke of dealt extensively with Passover, and we saw that there was what would be called a Tikkun, or a repair. Now, this is something that God does because he's gracious and merciful and forgiving. And we also see with this concept of tikkun or repair, we see that God is very, very loving.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

Samuel was a man of God, and he demonstrated his faith by submitting to the will of God. And the best place for you and I to discern what is God's will is in the Holy Scriptures. Now, many people believe that submissiveness is the key. But what's important is submissiveness to a godly leader, and that's what Samuel demonstratedTo donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

In this video, we are going to conclude our study of the book of Lamentations. And whenever we come to that last video, I always have mixed emotions. Now, in one sense, I'm happy because of an accomplishment. We have completed a study of a biblical Book, and that's a good thing. I think about what we have learned, what I have learned from preparing these studies, but I also have a second emotion, which is sadness, because we're moving away from this book.

Well, our theme in this portion of the Book of Numbers is going to be Passover. Now we're going to see that primarily Passover is in the first month on the Biblical calendar. But what happens if someone is unable to be in Jerusalem during that time for whatever reason or what happens again, not based upon their desire, but they are rendered unclean and cannot offer the Passover sacrifice in situations such as this, God has a solution.

Our God is a God of judgment, but understand a very important biblical truth when you are in a covenantal relationship with God, especially those of us who are part of that new covenant through Messiah, Yeshua, when God judges us, we should think of it more as discipline. Remember what the writer of Hebrews says, the one whom God loves, He will discipline. And therefore God's judgment is not for the purpose of destruction.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay Parkway Merritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephone https://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YT https://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1256/29

My hope for you is that you are experiencing a good time in your life. You are having the blessings of God. You're walking in His will. You sense His presence in your life, and the anointing of the Holy Spirit that is a good place to be in, but we are not always in such a spiritual condition. There are times and again, I hope this is not describing you at this moment, but there are times when we are full of despair, we don't have much hope. We are encountering God's discipline.

We are called to always respect God and live in a way that manifests the fear of the Lord before him. And this is important, because if we're going to hear from God and serve God and be found faithful before God, we need to demonstrate a reverence for him in everything that we do. And we're going to see that the Philistines and the Israelites did not demonstrate this proper reverence for the Lord, and because of that, on the day that the Philistines returned the ark of the Lord to Israel, we see that it turned into a day of judgment.

The people of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, they suffered greatly. They experienced much destruction, and they were carried away from the land of promise, into exile, into the land of Babylon. And all of this could be attributed to one thing, and that is improper leadership among the priests and the Prophets the people did not listen to the prophet of the Lord.

Today, we are going to learn some practical information that will help us order our life according to the truth of God. Now we are studying in the book of First Samuel, and we see that the hand of the Lord was heavy against the people of the Philistines. And why was that? Because they were idol worshipers, and they did not understand the uniqueness of the God of Israel.

The children of Israel suffered greatly at the hands of the Babylonians and those other nations that joined with Babylon to bring destruction to the Jewish people the city of Jerusalem and also the temple.

Well, we are going to continue our chapter that we began last week, and I'm speaking about the book of Numbers in chapter eight, and we see that God is working mightily with a group of people known as the Levites. And the term Levi is a Hebrew word which relates to coming alongside. It's a word of service, a word of escorting the priests in order that they might assist them.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org

In the passage of scripture that we're going to learn from today, we're going to see that it speaks about worship. Now you may say, not directly, but there's a very important principle there concerning worship. And let me begin by saying what that principle is, worship is called to be different. It is not of the world. And here's the key, it should not be mixed with the things of the world. In my opinion, when we look at much of the worship that goes on in many places of worship today, and I'm talking about churches, I would suggest to you that there's too much of the world in it.

Take out your Bible and look with me to the book of Lamentations and chapter three. The book of Lamentations, chapter three. Now we have said repeatedly that God was displeased with the children of Judah, that Southern Kingdom in the days of Jeremiah, Jeremiah, the prophet, spoke truth to the people, but they rejected His truth. They would not repent. God wanted to place them on the right pathway, and they refused to walk upon this way.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay Parkway Merritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephone https://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YT https://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1256/29

You well, the focus of the passage of scripture that we're going to be looking at in this time of study is the menorah. And we see something.

Our God is a God of judgment, and why does God judge? Because He's holy, righteous and faithful, and God's word reveals very clearly that the one who sins, that one will die. But there's good news, there is a way to avoid that eternal punishment, that judgment, that death, and experience eternal life. But be very clear about something, there is only one way to receive that eternal life, and that is through that gospel message that focuses in on the only Savior.

When we are going through a period of God's punishment or discipline, when we are experiencing His judgment upon us, it affects how we think and it affects how we believe. I'm reminded of one in the scripture that says, Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief. When we encounter this writer of the book of Lamentations, he wants to have hope, but at that same time, there is much hopelessness within him, and that is because he does not see a future.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay Parkway Merritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephone https://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YT https://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1256/29

Well, we are going to see that God is a kingdom minded God, and everything that he does has Kingdom implications, and this is true for what he'll do in the last days, but it's also true for what he has done so long ago in bringing the children of Israel into that promised land and establishing first tabernacle worship, a tabernacle worship that was rooted in the Law of Moses.

In this expository teaching, Dr. Baruch explores Colossians 2 to reveal how the cross of the Messiah brings total transformation—from the death of the flesh to spiritual rebirth.

Are you worshiping in a local congregation that has the fear of the Lord? And how would you know? If it does very simply, they are committed to the truth of Scripture. They honor and revere the Word of God, and they implement the Word of God in their life. That's what a godly congregation does. And I want you to see that if you are not and you are sitting under ungodly leadership, those who are very casual with the things of God and are very relaxed with what the Word of God commands.

The primary purpose for the book of Lamentations is to share with you and me, the reader of this book, how those who experienced that death and destruction and devastation felt as they were going through this time of God's judgment. But before we go any further, we need to be very clear about a biblical truth. Now, although God used the Babylonians, and if we read carefully, the book of Jeremiah, not just the Babylonians, but there were other nations around Judah that joined with Babylon in order to take advantage of this time, and they did not do so out of obedience to God.To donate please visit us at:https://loveisrael.org/donate/Checks may be sent to:LoveIsrael.org6355 N Courtenay Parkway Merritt Island, FL 32953Feel free to download our MyBibleStudy App on telephone https://get.theapp.co/yjjqwe don't know how long we can post the teachings on YT https://www.instagram.com/mybiblestudyofficial/ To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1256/29
