“Luto en primavera” es una obra conceptual y ópera prima de este programa, como regalo hacia todos los oyentes y comunidad de “El Iniciado”. Un documental sonoro que pueda aunar el propio espíritu de nuestra emisión a través de cierta síntesis y cuyo hilo conductor será la apócrifa historia de los denominados como Vigilantes o Grigori, mencionados en el libro de Enoc. Un tratado musical que abarca grandes temas expuestos a lo largo de este humilde programa y que persigue poder complementar todo ello a través de una experiencia sonora e inmersiva, más allá de las propias divulgaciones convencionales. Una aventura en la cual Azazel, quien junto a Shemiaza y sus hermanos descendieran para desposar mujeres humanas, engendrando antiguos héroes de renombre, será uno de los narradores principales junto a Lilith, quien otorgue voz a la vertiente musical de tales antiguas y presentes narraciones. Todo ello dividido en diversos actos o capítulos y bajo la siguiente estructura: Prólogo - 0:01:31 Capítulo I: Paraíso perdido - 0:03:51 Capítulo II: Anatema - 0:10:27 Capítulo III: Hijos de Grigori - 0:17:20 Capítulo IV: Luna de Caín - 0:23:21 Capítulo V: Horizonte - 0:29:00 Capítulo VI: Vade Retro - 00:35:17 Capítulo VII: Mira el cielo - 00:42:27 Capítulo VIII: Agua de ceniza - 00:49:00 Capítulo IX: Divide y vencerás - 00:56:34 Capítulo X: Arrodillar al pueblo - 1:04:27 Capítulo XI: Mientras el plan avanza / Acto 1 - 1:11:56 Mientras el plan avanza / Acto 2 - 1:17:17 Capítulo XII: La inmensa minoría / Acto 1 - 1:27:27 La inmensa minoría / Acto 2 - 1:32:51 Capítulo XIII: Rayo azul - 1:42:01 Capítulo XIV: Providencia - 1:49:27 Capítulo XV: Cronología perversa - 1:55:32 Capítulo XVI: Estoy harta / Acto 1 - 2:01:25 Estoy harta – Acto 2 - 2:07:00 Capítulo XVII: Sin amor no hay esperanza - 2:14:01 Capítulo XVIII: Mi camino - 2:22:01 Capítulo XIX: El secreto de las estrellas - 2:29:14 Epílogo - 2:35:12 ¿Mito o realidad? Tal vez se entremezclen, pero a fin de cuentas cuanto importa es el mensaje y cuanto pueda transmitir, al igual que cuanto pueda resonar en todos vosotros, dado que tras todo mito y leyenda subyace una porción de realidad. Diferentes vivencias y experiencias me llevaron a conformar tal obra, más que escrita en parte canalizada y que desde tiempos inmemoriales puedan mostrarnos cuanto podamos estar contemplando por nosotros mismos, pero a grandes rasgos y pese utilizar ciertas avanzadas herramientas, un exhaustivo artesanal trabajo que tras la debida dedicación y ante todo el cariño que debo a todos los oyentes pueda compartir. Ello sin ánimo comercial alguno, sino meramente poder contribuir a la propia expansión de nuestra conciencia, especialmente en estos tiempos tan decisivos y ante lo cual espero, al igual que deseo, pueda resultar de vuestro agrado.

Sometimes all it takes is one question.When we sat down with Azazel, we expected to talk about haunting, characters, scares, and the road that brought him from Savannah, Georgia into the haunt world. We got all of that. What we didn't expect was a moment that hit every one of us right in the chest.One question.One answer.And suddenly the conversation became something much bigger.This episode dives into the passion behind the paint, the friendships built along the way, the struggles, the victories, and the reason so many of us keep coming back to this crazy world year after year. It's about entertaining people, creating memories, and finding a place where you truly belong.Whether you've been haunting for decades or you've never stepped behind a mask, Azazel's story is a reminder that passion isn't something you find overnight. It's something you fight for, build, and carry with you through every chapter of your life.This was more than a conversation about a character.This was a conversation about heart.Sometimes the mask tells a story. Sometimes the person underneath tells an even better one.
Welcome to Day 2886 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – The Problem of Evil: Free Will, Imagership, and The Divine Design Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2886 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2886 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Our current series of Theology Thursday lessons is written by theologian and teacher John Daniels. I have found that his lessons are short, easy to understand, doctrinally sound, and applicable to all who desire to learn more of God's Word. John's lessons can be found on his website theologyinfive.com. Today's lesson is titled: THE PROBLEM OF EVIL: FREE WILL, IMAGERSHIP, AND THE DIVINE DESIGN. Though humanity is gifted with free will, we are not omniscient. This limitation creates a fragile balance. We are moral agents with the ability to act, but we often do so without full knowledge of the consequences. This gap between intention and outcome is fertile ground for evil to grow. Some evil is the result of direct rebellion, but much of it emerges from ignorance, misjudgment, or unintended consequences. Yahweh alone possesses omniscience. If humans knew all outcomes in advance, their choices would not reflect genuine trust or faith. The decision to follow Yahweh, even with limited knowledge, is a demonstration of allegiance, one that mirrors the loyalty He desires from His divine family as well. The first segment is: THE DIVINE REBELLION: WHEN SPIRITUAL IMAGERS TURNED. The problem of evil is not limited to humanity. Scripture reveals that spiritual beings, members of Yahweh's heavenly host, also rebelled. These divine imagers, given authority over the nations (Deuteronomy 32 verses eight and nine and Psalm 82), turned from their mandate and led humanity into darkness. Some, like the sons of God in Genesis 6, crossed boundaries and corrupted creation itself. Others accepted worship and manipulated entire cultures into idolatry, violence, and occult practices. These rebellious elohim introduced a different kind of evil, ideological and systemic. They corrupted truth, promoted false gods, and weaponized spiritual influence. Humanity's rebellion was inflamed by their lies. The result was a world fragmented, oppressed, and bound to powers that were never meant to rule. To restrain the damage these beings caused, Yahweh gave Israel the Torah. The Law was not just a set of moral rules. It was a divine firewall. Its rituals, boundaries, and covenant structure created space for holiness and identity amid spiritual chaos. Among the most profound of these rituals was the Day of Atonement, where two goats were chosen: one sacrificed to cleanse the people, and the other sent into the wilderness, symbolically carrying the sins of the nation back to Azazel, a name associated with the wilderness-dwelling rebels. This was not superstition. It was spiritual warfare through sacred practice. The Law showed that Yahweh was not passive in the face of evil. He acted decisively to reclaim His people and mitigate the influence of the divine traitors until the fullness of His plan could be revealed in the Messiah. The second segment is: WHY YAHWEH ALLOWED THIS SYSTEM. The presence of evil in creation is not a sign that Yahweh lost control. Rather, it underscores how seriously He takes relationships. He is not interested in programmed obedience. He desires a family, both human and divine, who freely love Him. The alternative would be a world without evil but also without relationship, without love, without the ability to choose the good. The biblical story is filled with the tension between human freedom and divine sovereignty. This tension is not a flaw. It is the setting in which loyalty, repentance, and transformation become meaningful. Yahweh has allowed evil for a time, knowing that through it, those who choose Him do so authentically. The third segment is: EVIL, SOVEREIGNTY, AND THE HIGH STAKES OF AGENCY. Evil exists not because God is weak, but because He values freedom. His sovereignty is not undermined by our agency. It is demonstrated by His willingness to allow it and still accomplish His purposes. From Eden to the Cross to the final judgment, Scripture presents a God who allows rebellion, intervenes to redeem, and ultimately restores. The reality of evil magnifies the seriousness of the decisions we make. We are not passive recipients of fate but active participants in a divine drama. Every moral decision reflects our allegiance. We were created to image Yahweh in how we steward creation, treat others, and respond to evil with courage, righteousness, and hope. In CONCLUSION: There is A COSMIC STRUGGLE, A DIVINE INVITATION. The existence of evil should not cause despair. Instead, it reminds us of the stakes involved in being made in Yahweh's image. It reminds us that we live in a story where freedom is real, decisions matter, and redemption is possible. Evil is not the final word. Yahweh is not surprised by rebellion, and His plan has always included its defeat. Through the Messiah, humanity is invited into a restored relationship, empowered to reflect the goodness of God even in the presence of darkness. The struggle against evil is the arena in which imagers of God are tested, shaped, and revealed. To explore this in further details, consider these DISCUSSION QUESTIONS. Why is free will necessary for genuine love and relationships? How does the concept of humans as imagers of Yahweh affect how we understand moral responsibility? What are some examples where limited knowledge contributes to the existence of evil? What role did the rebellion of spiritual beings play in the expansion of evil on Earth? How did the Torah, and especially the scapegoat ritual, help Israel resist the influence of the rebellious elohim?

As global conditions rapidly shift and institutions brace for unprecedented changes, believers must ask themselves a critical question: Are we truly ready for what is coming? In this powerful message, Servant Marcia Carty takes us into the depths of Matthew 24 and 25 to examine what Jesus meant when He declared that the coming of the Son of Man would mirror the days of Noah. By connecting the biblical narrative of Genesis 6 with historical details preserved in the Book of Enoch, this teaching shines a piercing light on the ancient origins of modern darkness, from cloning and DNA manipulation to the atmospheric spiritual warfare we face today. -- Servant Marcia explains the vital parable of the ten virgins, warning believers to keep the "oil" of sanctification and the Holy Spirit in their vessels so their light does not go out. -- The evidence of having oil in your vessel is found in righteous works, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, and visiting those in prison, because serving the least of these is serving Jesus Himself. -- A deep dive into Genesis 6:2-4 and the Book of Enoch reveals how 200 holy watchers fell from heaven, defiled themselves with human women, and introduced a hybrid race of giants alongside forbidden cosmic secrets. -- The modern obsession with "disclosure," CERN, and genetic experimentation mirrors the exact unrighteous secrets taught by the fallen angel Azazel before the flood. -- According to ancient texts, these fallen entities were bound fast in the valleys of the earth for 70 generations, a timeline that feels terrifyingly close to its historical completion today. -- Despite the rising manifestation of unclean spirits, Jesus has fully delegated His heavenly power and authority to His church to cast out devils and overcome all oppression. Scriptures for Further Study -- Genesis 6:2-4 -- Matthew 24:36-44 -- Matthew 25:1-13 -- Matthew 25:31-46 -- Mark 9:17-27 -- Luke 8:26-30 -- Luke 9:1 +++++++ We have begun building a new website which you can see here: https://www.noahdays.org/
Two goats, one destiny. In this episode, we break down the powerful symbolism of the "Azazel" or Scapegoat. One goat was sacrificed, but the other carried the sins of the people into the wilderness, never to be seen again. We discuss how Leviticus 16 provides the most perfect shadow of what Jesus Christ did for us on the Cross—removing our guilt once and for all.#Leviticus16 #DayOfAtonement #YomKippur #WayToLife #TheScapegoat #HolyOfHolies #BibleStudy #TamilBibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #JesusOurHighPriest #Forgiveness #Redemption #BibleTeaching #OldTestamentShadows #AccessToGod
Is there one giant spirit of Leviathan demonizing thousands of people simultaneously or is something else going on? The answer cuts deeper than spiritual warfare. It goes straight to the nature of God.The body of Christ has a problem with demon taxonomy. On one end, cessationists deny the category entirely. On the other, some corners of charismatic practice have quietly handed evil spirits divine attributes they were never meant to have, treating Leviathan or Jezebel as omnipresent cosmic forces saturating the earth. Neither position is biblical. And the confusion isn't just theoretical. It shapes how people pray, how pastors minister, and how the church understands the very nature of God.Join Joshua Lewis, Michael Rowntree, and Michael Miller as they work through the biblical catalog of evil spirits and make the case that demons are kinds, not singular entities. They also tackle the deliverance question head-on: is naming demons in ministry Gnostic secret knowledge, or is it something more like Adam naming the animals, an exercise of discernment and authority?If you're looking for a biblically-serious review on demon taxonomy, this episode is for you.0:00 – Introduction7:09 – Demon Taxonomy Overview15:18 – Effects Match Names19:50 – Jezebel Spirit Defined27:06 – Naming Demons, Authority39:28 – One Spirit or Many?43:54 – God's Omnipresence Only46:43 – Speculative: Demonic BreathINTRO TO DELIVERANCE MINISTRY:https://www.theremnantradio.com/intro-to-deliverance-ministrySubscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

Parsha “Acharei Mot” (Leviticus chapters 16 through 18) begins, as it says up front, “After the Death” of the two sons of Aaron. But we see several other parshas, since then. Why is that noted here, and what does it mean? And two of those have had to do with a ‘plague’ that hasn’t been seen for centuries, at least. Most of us have also been told that the things described in THIS one, too, are “old testament,” and “done away with.” Arguably, it’s even MORE wrong here! Join Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship for a story that only begins there. And if you find the connections valuable, please forward the message to those who might be blessed by it. The Erev Shabbat reading lays out the story, beginning “after the death,” and tells us, over and over again, in fact, that the “statutes” described are to be “forever,” and even tells us the consequences of the Big Lie that they’re not: https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/SSM-5-2-26-Acharei-Mot-teaching-podcast-xx.mp3 The story tells us “after the death,” of Aarons sons, Nadab and Abihu, that there are things that must be done, in accord with His Instruction, so that those who do so, WHEN He says so, “die not.” And then it follows with the description of the “two goats,” one for YHVH, and the other for “Azazel.” It might seem that the ‘picture’ represented by the ritual is fairly clear, and yet it’s not a ‘perfect fit’ for what Yahushua did – for several reasons. Mark begins the Sabbath Day midrash with those, and the fact that most of what — in this instance, certainly — must be called what it is, now too often ignored. Even though He says it remains a “statute forever.” And says it three times even. Many people with a ‘sunday-school’ background will remember the line from Hebrews that “it is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins.” But they ignore the context, and the lesson of the distinction between sin committed “in ignorance” (Hebrews 9:7) and knowing and deliberate rebellion to Him. For if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and fiery indignation which will devour the adversaries. Hebrews 10:26-27 This parsha then goes on to directly outline some of those things, which much of the world, and the ‘Whore Church’ which at minimum tacitly accepts, even promotes, YHVH warns about. Some — like things taught in the Publik Cesspools, and mandated by social pressures and tax subsidies — which are called “abomination,” and carry a death penalty. And they “defile the land,” which is why, He concludes, they were, and are, “vomited out” of it. We ‘cannot serve two masters.’ Which will it be? Acharei Mot: “When Does Continued Deliberate Sin In Ignorance Merit Being ‘Vomited Out’?” https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/WT-CooH-5-3-26-Acharei-Mot-Do-NOT-defile-statutes-FOREVER-podcast-xxx.mp3 Service information: Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship worship services and teachings are broadcast live every Sabbath, via Paltalk.

In this episode of the Land of Israel Fellowship, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore the powerful spiritual journey between Achrei Mot and Kedoshim, two Torah portions that challenge us to confront who we are and who we're meant to become. Recorded during the days of the Counting of the Omer, this conversation weaves together personal stories, ancient wisdom, and present-day life in Israel. Ari shares a simple yet profound parenting moment that opens the door to a much deeper discussion: how boundaries, reverence, and trust shape not only our families but our relationship with God. Together, we explore: The deeper meaning of the scapegoat (Azazel) and spiritual release Why true growth requires both honesty and letting go What it means to “be holy” in everyday life (Kedoshim Tihyu) How to move from spiritual freedom to spiritual responsibility Letting go of resentment and learning to love others fullyTrusting God's plan even when life doesn't make sense Set against the backdrop of modern-day Israel, this episode also reflects on faith during uncertain times, the nearness of redemption, and how to prepare ourselves spiritually for Shavuot, the re-receiving of the Torah. Whether you're on a spiritual journey, exploring the Bible more deeply, or seeking meaning in today's complex world, this conversation offers clarity, strength, and inspiration.
JUDGMENT ON evil kings and fallen angels is a major theme of the section of 1 Enoch called the Book of Parables. This week, we discuss the vision of a deep valley where “angels of punishment” prepare “instruments of Satan” for kings and mighty men who've rebelled against God—and a second valley where “iron chains of immeasurable weight” are “prepared for the hosts of Azazel.” Our reading today ends with the prophecy of the final war against heathen powers. We discussed the historical background of the reference to the Parthians and Mead, and note comparisons to the prophecies of Ezekiel 39 (especially 39:11 and the reference to the Valley of the Travelers), and Zechariah 12 and 14.

The Devil was not into this recording. It cut off my recording 4 times, but I feared no evil as a bravely recorded through the shadow of death. My returning guest, Southern Demonology's JJ Johnson explained why my prior sentence was a mistranslation. That is both a teaser and theme.Like you, I am aware of many names that might mean The Devil. I go through as many as I can poorly pronounce and we stumble into a few more. Could it be...Satan? Nope.How about Lucider or Azazel or Beelzabub or Set. Why is Zoroastrianism probably the most important aspect of this topic? Who was testing Job? Who led The Watchers? Is that even scripture? All this and more, Don't bite an apple. Or a pomegranate. Or a quince. We really don't knowwhat that was either but it's really unlikely the serpent was or is the Devil either. Fun times. Fate favors the bold. Enter intrepid ones.

It's been a decade since our guest today last appeared on Canary Cry Radio! It was October 2016, on episode 111, when the author of the Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part 1 and 2, Gary Wayne joined us to discuss the Gnostic Conspiracy unfolding in the world order! Now, in 2026, it seems the agenda laid out by Gary and many other researchers in our niche have only accelerated. We had the covid lockdowns to expose the old world order, and now the technocratic world order emerging in the re-enchantment promises a golden age! And considering the Genesis 6 paradigm is so central to the entire existence of Canary Cry Radio, it's only appropriate to bring back the man who has written 2 books plus a new Fiction book titled The Oprimo Conspiracy, who calls himself a “Christian contrarian who has maintained a lifelong love affair with biblical prophecy, history, and mythology.” WELCOME BACK TO THE CANARY CRY RADIO GARY WAYNE!

Yom Kippur is a different day than every other day of the year. It is the holiest day, the day of atonement, a day of fasting and prayer and repentance. When the Temple was extant, the Nations' attention was oriented around the high priest's services in God's holy Temple. This was the one time a year that the high priest walked into the Holy of Holies. Of the many different services performed by the high priest on this day was a most peculiar one: Two identical goats were given very different fates, determined by a lottery: One was offered as a sacrifice to God on the altar in the Temple, and one was to serve as a scapegoat, bearing the sins of the nation. The scapegoat was sent away to the desert, to the wilderness, to Azazel, where it was chucked off a cliff side, thereby expiating the nation's sins. What is the message behind the process of the identical goats? What is the message behind the scapegoat? in this fantastic Parsha podcast, we learned the secret of the goats with a brand new twist. – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –This Parsha podcast is dedicated in the merit of a speedy recovery of Yosef Shraga Halevi Ben Esther.

These chapters contain some of the most vital commands for the people of Israel. They include the liturgy for the holiest day on the Jewish calendar—Yom Kippur. A unique part of the ceremony involved two goats of similar size and appearance. One goat was for Yahweh, and the other was for Azazel. These animals represented two aspects of atonement. One paid the penalty and was sacrificed in the sanctuary. The other removed the sin from the community and was released into the wilderness. Which goat represented Jesus?Support the showConsider donating (one-time or recurring) to www.TheJerusalemConnection.us so we can continue to bring valuable content via podcasts free to the public.

Gary Wayne is back in the basement for round four, and this one is a monster. The author of The Genesis 6 Conspiracy Part I and Part II sits down with us to walk through the taxonomy of post-flood giants, the tribes the church never talks about, and why the Table of Nations has massive holes that point to something the Bible is quietly telling us. We dig into the Raphaim, the Anakim, the Baalim council of gods ruling from Mount Hermon, and how Canaan's curse connects directly to the reemergence of giant bloodlines in the covenant land. Gary breaks down 15 years of research, logging scripture, and connecting dots between Hebrew root words, Ugaritic texts, and polytheist accounts that all tell the same story through different lenses. We also go deep on the corruption of all flesh before the flood, chimeras, DNA manipulation, the seven sacred sciences that secret societies trace back to the watchers, and why the knowledge cult that started before the flood is still running the show today through institutions most people never question. Gary unpacks Azazel's connection to the scapegoat ritual, the degradation of angelic beings into satyr gods, interdimensional portals, and what CERN might actually be trying to accomplish. This is a masterclass in biblical giant research.

Menachot 92 : Marc Chipkin : 2026-04-13 The atonement of the Azazel goat. Do the goats for idolatry require leaning upon? Bechor, maaser, and pesach do not require leaning upon.
Takeaways from this study Take your inner life as seriously as your outer actions. Leviticus' focus on heart (לֵב lev) and kidneys (כְּלָיוֹת kelayot) shows that God weighs desires, motives, and conscience, not just visible behavior (Jeremiah 17:10; Psalm 26:2). Name and examine your desires before they become actions. James 1:14–15 shows temptation starting as inner desire, then moving to action and consequence. Regularly ask, “What is pulling me right now? What am I ‘being carried away and enticed' by?” Seek wisdom, not just willpower, in temptation. James 1:5–8 connects trials, desire, and the need for divine wisdom. Pray specifically for wisdom to see your patterns, not only for strength to resist them. Engage community for honest feedback and sharpening. Peace offerings were shared meals. Proverbs 27:17 and the study's discussion of accountability highlight that we often cannot see our own inner distortions without brothers and sisters who love us enough to speak. Invite God to “search” you as a regular practice. Use prayers like Psalm 139:23–24 and Psalm 51:6 as patterns. Consciously ask God to expose both your יֵצֶר הַטּוֹב (yetzer ha-tov, good inclination) and יֵצֶר הַרַע (yetzer ha-ra, bad inclination). Cooperate with the Spirit's work of inner transformation. Ezekiel 36:26–27 and Galatians 5:16–17 show that real change comes as the Spirit reshapes the “inner person.” Align with this by saturating yourself in Scripture, prayer, and obedience in small, concrete steps. Aim for wholeness (תָּמִים tamim), not perfectionism. The offerings and James 1 frame maturity as becoming complete and undivided, rather than flawless. The goal is a unified heart, mind, and will that increasingly love God and reflect His character. With all the offerings discussed in great detail, we can easily think the book of Leviticus is just a priest handbook or a barbecue manual. Rather, it's a graphic picture of what must change inside of us when we reconnect with God: approach, cleansing, communion. Leviticus 3 expounds on the שְׁלָמִים shelamim (“peace offerings”) come from the same root as שָׁלוֹם shalom (“peace, wholeness, well‑being”). These offerings picture drawing near. The Hebrew קָרְבָּן qorban/korban (“that which draws near,” or an offering) comes from קָרַב qarav (“to approach”). The worshiper laid a hand on the head of the animal, symboling the giving of oneself, and after that act the offering drew near to God's presence. Body parts as metaphors It's one of the Heaven-sent metaphors in Israel's Mishkan (“dwelling place,” the tabernacle) shown to Moshe (Moses). Leviticus names kidneys, liver, and fat repeatedly. These are symbols for the inner life — desire, conscience, moral depth. The kidneys (Hebrew: קלַיּוֹת kelayot) function biologically to filter and regulate. In Scripture, the kidneys carry a range of meaning. The root verb כָּלָה qalah means “accomplish, cease, consume, determine, end, fail, finish.” That range fits both biological function and the spiritual metaphor of consumption or obsession. Scripture often pairs לֵב lev (“heart”) and kelayot as the inward places God examines: Jeremiah 17:10; Psalm 26:2 and Psalm 73:21. Psalm 16:7 in some translations renders kelayot as “mind” or inner guidance: “I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel; indeed my heart instructs me in the night” (NASB95). The kidneys rejoice when truth is spoken (Prov. 23:16). God examines inner motives and then gives each person according to deeds. In short, the inward parts register God's message when they are tuned rightly. Greek and Hebrew language shift The Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, called the Septuagint (LXX), renders kelayot as νεφροί nephroi and lev as καρδία kardia. The book of Revelation preserves the Hebrew metaphor of heart and kidneys from the Septuagint. Elsewhere in the New Testament the inward domain encapsulated into kelayot splits into multiple Greek words: νοῦς nous (“mind”) σπλάγχνα splachna (“inward parts, compassion, deep affections”) συνείδησις suneidesis (“conscience”). The point: where Hebrew often uses a single cluster of images, Greek sometimes parses that cluster into finer parts. Fat and full consumption Fat in the sacrificial meal played a theological role. Fat physically and metaphorically is a sign of abundance. It also burns and produces barbecue flare‑ups. So it helps the offering burn and thus ascend and be fully consumed. The whole burnt offering in Hebrew is עֹלָה olah, “that which goes up”). Metaphorically, the fat also can picture what fuels devotion and what accelerates a response before God. That image tied into the difference between offerings that are shared and those wholly consumed. Peace offering versus sin offering The shelamim offering functions as fellowship. The offering becomes a meal shared by priest and worshiper. Thus, it pictures communion. In contrast, the חַטָּאת khattat (“sin offering”) involves removal and consumption in smoke. While the shelamim has a communal, two‑way dimension, the khattat removes what blocks communion. The khattat answers situations where someone erred unintentionally and needs restoration for reentry into God's presence. Two goats of Yom Kippur Leviticus 16 details what happens on Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The qorbanot are two goats serving a single, complex function. One is for Adonai (the LORD) , providing covering for the people's sins, transgressions and iniquities. One is one for Azazel (aka the scapegoat), the one that removes the impurities from the community. Both goats must be תָּמִים tamim (“complete, unblemished”), because either can be selected by lot for each role. What type of offering are Passover and Day of Atonement? Rabbinic and later commentators debated how to classify the פֶּסַח Pesach (Passover) and יוֹם כִּיפוּר Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) offerings based on function and rituals in Leviticus they best match. Debates cluster around three points: Is the Pesach a shelamim (peace offering)? Are the two goats of Yom Kippur a khattat (sin offering), shelamim or a mixture? What theological conclusions follow about atonement, communal versus individual restoration, and messianic typology? On Pesach, many tannaitic and later rabbinic voices note formal differences from ordinary shalomim offerings. Pesach is eaten communally, like many shelamim, but it also functions as a liturgical, protective rite (blood on doorposts) that “blocks” divine plague sent on Egypt during the Exodus. Because of that blocking/marker role, some authorities treat Pesach as having a unique legal status. They argue it is not a simple fellowship meal (shelamim) because its primary purpose in the Exodus narrative is deliverance and household protection rather than mutual sharing with the priests. Others emphasize the shared‑meal and covenantal features and therefore place Pesach nearer to shalomim in function. In short: Pesach carries features of shelamim (communal meal, shared participation) and features unlike a typical shalomim (apotropaic blood sign, national deliverance), so rabbinic writers sometimes call it a hybrid or acknowledge it as sui generis. Yom Kippur's two‑goat rite generated extensive debate because Leviticus 16 presents simultaneous elements of expiation, transfer and removal, and priestly atonement. One goat (for the LORD) receives the sacrificial procedures (blood sprinkled, incense, entrance to the Holy of Holies) and thus resembles khattat and olah (whole burnt) features of atonement and covering. The other goat (la‑Azazel) bears the confessed sins and is sent away, acting as a removal or scapegoat. Rabbinic commentators therefore wrestled with whether the pair together should be read as two halves of a single atoning ritual (a composite that includes khattat‑like covering plus scapegoat‑like removal) or as two distinct categories performed together. Medieval rabbis (e.g., Rashi, Ramban/Nachmanides) and earlier tannaim (sages) explored these options. Some emphasized the “covering” aspect and aligned the victim offered to the LORD with khattat/olah terminology (atonement, sprinkling). Others stressed the azazel goat's function as expulsion of impurity, aligning it with purification rites yet recognizing that expulsion is not the same as sacrificial expiation. Many rabbis ultimately treated the two goats as complementary: both are tamim (unblemished) and part of a single day's atonement package whose combined effect is both to cover sins before God and to remove their presence from the community. The halakhic (traditional) consequences of these categorizations matter. If Pesach is treated as a shelamim‑type, its sacrificial rules, who may eat, and which parts are reserved for priests follow the shalomim regulations. If it is khattat, special rules (such as the household eating requirement and the paschal lamb's exemption from priestly portions in some discussions) remain justified. For Yom Kippur, classification affects how statutes of ritual purity, priestly service, and the effect of the ritual (covering vs. removal) get interpreted in later law and in theological exposition about the nature of atonement. Some rabbinic writers used the duality to teach that atonement involves both God's covering and forgiveness and the community's need to rid itself of moral stain. Christian and medieval Jewish exegetes later read the Yom Kippur pair typologically: one element as substitutionary covering and the other as expulsion of impurity. Modern scholars often note the practical synchronicity: ancient ritual systems sometimes accomplish a single social‑theological goal via multiple complementary rites rather than by a single classificatory model. Yeshua embodied across offerings Some Jewish commentators have objected to teachings that Yeshua (Jesus) filled roles of multiple offerings. A big contention is that human sacrifice is anathema to the Torah. Another is that one offering can encompass multiple offering categories. The Apostolic Writings identify Yeshua with the Lamb of Passover (John 1:29, 36), as sin‑offering imagery in Isaiah 53, and as the One who covers and removes sin as well as the special red heifer sacrifice (Hebrews 9–10). Look at the proclamation of prophet Yokhanan (John the Baptist): “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29 allusion). He also noted how the Gospels and the apostolic writers weave Passover, Firstfruits, Shavuot (Pentecost), and Sukkot (Feast of Tabernacles) imagery into the Messianic narrative. Messianic festivals and prophetic pattern The teacher traced how festival imagery points to the Messianic era. He mentioned the water‑pouring at Sukkot and Ezekiel's vision of waters flowing from the sanctuary to cleanse and heal (Ezekiel 47). He tied that to John 7 (the “living water” moment in the Feast of Tabernacles) and to the idea that the Messiah pours out God's Spirit. He presented the festivals as stages in a single story, not isolated rites. Spiritual maturity and the goal of Tamim A recurring word was תָּמִים tamim — “complete, mature, unblemished”). The offerings aim for Heaven to covert believers to be tamim. 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. Ephesians 5:1‑2 NASB95 The offering shows the shape of maturity: love, self‑giving, and a life presented to God. Testing, wisdom, and formation The lesson stressed that testing refines interior life. James 1:13‑15 (alluded to in the transcript) frames temptation and birth of sin. The teacher urged listeners to ask God for wisdom when trials buffet them. He used the ship metaphor: without wisdom, a person tosses back and forth like a vessel in storms. Wisdom stabilizes the inward parts. It helps us become tamim. Community, accountability, and discernment Several participants emphasized practical formation. The teacher and attendees spoke about discipleship and community accountability. One person described joining groups intentionally designed to expose blind spots. The teacher affirmed Proverbs' wisdom about openness to correction. He also warned about a seared conscience (a heart or “radio” that no longer picks up God's signal) and stressed the need for community to help retune our kidney‑like conscience. Tuning our inward parts From Scripture we can glean concrete spiritual habits. Seek God's testing and ask for examination (Deut. 8:2; Psalm 26:2; 51:6; 139:23-24). Ask for wisdom and discernment in trials (James 1:2-8). Engage with the community of believers (Prov. 27:17; Heb. 10:25). Welcome correction (John 9:40-41; Proverbs 12-15). Cultivate practices that align heart, mind and conscience so your inner parts rejoice when truth is spoken. These are ways to become less “tossed” and more mature (James 1:4, 6-8). Courage, balance, and embodied faith Courage is the capacity to act despite fear. That arises when heart, mind and conscience align and when a community of believers supports us. A 20th century devotional recasting of a Mark Twain quip1 and purported Franklin D. Roosevelt quote2 says, “Courage is not the absence of fear, but the presence of God,” drawing on Joshua 1:9 and Deuteronomy 31:6. We must balance empathy and logic to prevent both callousness to suffering and flinching from necessary intervention. Guts and kidneys are a biblical illustration that inner strength involves both feeling and discernment. Teaching not recipe Leviticus teaches a way of drawing close to and being before God. The sacrificial details map inner transformation. Kidneys, heart, liver and fat are metaphors for conscience, desire, moral depth and ample devotion. The Messianic fulfillment in Yeshua gathers several offerings into one work: removal of sin, covering, and restored communion. The Mishkan pattern becomes embodied in the Messiah (John 1:14 alluded sense, “the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us” imagery). How? We ask God for wisdom. We welcome testing. We live in accountable community. We aim to be made tamim — complete and fit to draw near. 1 “Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.” Epigraph at beginning of chapter 12 of The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson; And the Comedy Those Extraordinary Twins by Mark Twain (Samuel L.

03/29/2026 Rev. Jacob Kim Leviticus 16:1-10 The Day of Atonement 16 The Lord spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the Lord and died, 2 and the Lord said to Moses, “Tell Aaron your brother not to come at any time into the Holy Place inside the veil, before the mercy seat that is on the ark, so that he may not die. For I will appear in the cloud over the mercy seat. 3 But in this way Aaron shall come into the Holy Place: with a bull from the herd for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering. 4 He shall put on the holy linen coat and shall have the linen undergarment on his body, and he shall tie the linen sash around his waist, and wear the linen turban; these are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in water and then put them on. 5 And he shall take from the congregation of the people of Israel two male goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering. 6 “Aaron shall offer the bull as a sin offering for himself and shall make atonement for himself and for his house. 7 Then he shall take the two goats and set them before the Lord at the entrance of the tent of meeting. 8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, one lot for the Lord and the other lot for Azazel.[a] 9 And Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the Lord and use it as a sin offering, 10 but the goat on which the lot fell for Azazel shall be presented alive before the Lord to make atonement over it, that it may be sent away into the wilderness to Azazel.
7 key takeaways from this study Passover is the start of a full redemption cycle, not a standalone event. The 10th–14th days of Israel’s first month (lamb selection to slaughter) begin a yearly cycle that runs through the biblical festivals, picturing God's work from deliverance out of Egypt to dwelling with His people in a renewed creation. The Passover lamb and the Atonement goats meet in Yeshua (Jesus). Exodus 12 allows for a Passover offering of lamb or goat. Leviticus 16 shows two goats (for the LORD and for removal/Azazel). John 1:29 pulls these threads together: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” — both blocking judgment and removing sin and guilt. The triumphal entry parallels Lamb Selection Day — and exposes shallow faith. Yeshua's entry into Jerusalem lines up with the 10th day lamb selection, as crowds cry “Hosanna” from Psalm 118. Like the shallow soil in the parable of the sower, that initial enthusiasm quickly withers under pressure—warning us against emotional, rootless faith. God's presence defines the true house of God, not the building itself. In Exodus 40 and 1Kings 8, the Tabernacle/Temple only fulfills its purpose when the glory of the LORD fills it. The value of this “house” is determined by Who dwells there, just as our lives only have their true purpose when filled with God's presence, not just ordered by His words. Yeshua is the rejected cornerstone — and the non‑negotiable standard. Psalm 118's “stone the builders rejected” shows that God's chosen foundation would be refused by human leadership. We are tempted to throw out the cornerstone when God's standard conflicts with our preferences, but Zion can only be built on the cornerstone God provides, not one we design. Deliverance from Egypt is both historical and personal. The exodus is a real event and also a pattern of every believer's journey: called out of a “house of bondage,” pursued by enemies, tested in wilderness trials. The question in hardship is: Will we go back to Egypt, or keep following the One who has the words of life? Freedom requires both cleansing and filling by the Spirit. Sweeping the “house” clean (Matthew 12) without God's Spirit leaves us vulnerable to even worse bondage. True Zion, according to Isaiah 32–33, is only realized “until the Spirit is poured out from on high,” producing the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5) and a life of peace, righteousness, and stability. On the 10th day of Israel’s first month (March–April), every household brings in an unblemished year‑old male from the sheep or goats for פֶּסַח Pesach (Passover). They were to keep it under close observation until the 14th day, when the whole assembly of Israel kills it in the afternoon. (Exodus 12:3–6) The day is not random. The timing itself teaches. God ties this choice of the lamb to a pattern of appointed times that will run from the first month all the way to the seventh month. That pattern includes the offerings around Passover the wave sheaf (Leviticus 23:9–14), the countdown to שָׁבוּעוֹת Shavuot (“Weeks” or Pentecost), and then the seventh‑month moedim (“appointments”): יוֹם תְּרוּעָה Yom Teruah (“Day of Trumpet Blast,” aka Rosh HaShanah) יוֹם כִּפּוּר Yom Kippur (“Day of Atonement”) סֻכּוֹת Sukkot (“Tabernacles/Booths”) שְׁמִינִי עֲצֶרֶת Shemini Atzeret (“Eighth Day Assembly”) That whole sequence appears as one long, God‑designed story cycle. It begins with deliverance from the house of bondage and ends with the dwelling of God among His people in a renewed order, an echo of Eden and a pointer to the “new heavens and a new earth” (Isaiah 65:17; Revelation 21:1). Passover and Atonement: Lambs and goats in one picture A key insight is that Exodus 12 allows the household to select either a lamb or a kid goat. Later, Leviticus 16 describes two goats for Yom Kippur. One is “for the LORD,” whose blood covers sins, transgressions, and iniquities. The other is for עֲזָאזֵל Azazel, often called the “scapegoat,” that bears the iniquities away into the wilderness, never to return. This dual picture — covering and removal — lines up with the testimony of יוֹחָנָן Yochanan (John the Baptist/Immerser): The next day he saw Jesus coming to him and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” John 1:29 NASB95 Here, יֵשׁוּעַ Yeshua (“salvation”) is not only the Passover lamb, whose blood protects from judgment (Exodus 12:13), but also the atonement offering that removes sin. He blocks the destroyer and also carries away the guilt and stain that keep people chained to their old life. First‑century practice Israel strongly favored lambs for Passover. Yet the Torah's openness to either lamb or kid lets the later two-goats imagery of Yom Kippur speak back into the Passover story. Together, they form a composite picture of “new covenant” atonement: covered, forgiven, removed and remembered no more (Jeremiah 31:34; Hebrews 8:12). The Triumphal Entry as lamb selection day The “Triumphal Entry” is recorded in John 12:12–19 and the Synoptic Gospels. On what many in the wider Body of Messiah would later call “Palm Sunday,” Yeshua enters Jerusalem as crowds wave palm branches and cry out prophetic words from Psalm 118: “Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel.” John 12:13 NASB95; quoted from Psalm 118:25–26 That day according to the Gospels aligns with the 10th day of the first month,1 the same day lambs were chosen for Passover. The people were, in effect, publicly acknowledging Yeshua as the coming King and as the Lamb—though they do not yet grasp the full meaning. They shout הוֹשִׁיעָה נָּא Hoshia na (“Save, please!”; transliterated in Greek as hosanna), a cry for rescue. Out of the ‘house of bondage’: Trials and deep roots This sounds like Yeshua’s parable of the sower (Matthew 13:1–23; Mark 4:1–20; Luke 8:4–15). The crowd acted like the parable’s shallow soil. The seed springs up quickly but has no depth. Under the heat of trial, it withers. Within days, the crowd disappears, and even Yeshua's closest followers scatter during His arrest and trial. That pattern is a warning. It is possible to welcome the Lamb enthusiastically on “selection day” and still fall away when the cost becomes clear. Thus, believers should seek deeper roots than that — a faith that will not run back to “Egypt” when the wilderness tests arrive. The Exodus is both a historical event and a metaphor of personal transformation. Israel leaves מִצְרַיִם Mitzrayim (Egypt) by God's mighty hand, but soon faces: A pursuing army at the sea (Exodus 14) Lack of water (Exodus 15–17) Hunger (Exodus 16) Ongoing threats and discouragement Again and again, the people want to go back (Exodus 14:11–12; Numbers 14:1–4). This is like our being tempted to return to old patterns and bondages when life gets hard. At one point the apostles say to Yeshua when crowds balked at His tough teaching, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life” (John 6:68 NASB95). That response becomes a model. The question is not whether trials will come, but whether the hearer will decide that there is no “home” in Egypt anymore. In some vineyards, particularly those growing grapes for fine wine, growers deliberately limit irrigation. They water, then stop, so the moisture sinks deeper into the soil profile. The vine's roots must chase that water downward. Over time, the plant develops a deep root system that can endure heat and drought. Likewise, apostle Ya’akov urges believers to “consider it all joy… when you encounter various trials” because those trials produce endurance and maturity (James 1:2–4 NASB95). On a spiritual plane, our shallow, constantly pampered roots will fail under pressure. Rooted faith grows through measured stress. The Tabernacle, Temple and the dwelling presence In Exodus 40, after Israel builds all the components of the מִשְׁכָּן Mishkan (“dwelling place,” “Tabernacle”) according to God's pattern, Moses sets them up, anoints them, and sanctifies them — sets them apart (קִדֵּשׁ kiddesh). Then something striking happens: Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Moses was not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle. Exodus 40:34–35 NASB95 The building finally fulfills its purpose when God's presence fills it. In that moment, even Moses cannot enter. The next book in the Torah, וַיִּקְרָא Vayikra (Leviticus), explains how priests and people may again approach the holy presence. The book's key Hebrew word is קָרַב karav (“to draw near”). From this comes קָרְבָּן korban (“offering,” literally “that which draws near”). We can see this patter: No one casually enters God's presence. Life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11). The blood of the offering goes in ahead of the worshiper. Even priests need atonement offered for themselves. Later, Solomon's temple (1Kings 8:10–11) repeats the same pattern. When the ark is brought in and the priests come out, “the cloud filled the house of the LORD, so that the priests could not stand to minister … for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.” The house matters because of Who is in residence. Consider political embassies and consulates. The building is important, but the stakes change completely if the ambassador or consul-general is physically inside when it is attacked. Presence raises the significance. How much more the Tabernacle/Temple. Their furniture, drapery and stones are not magical. The real issue is the presence of the King. This principle also carries forward into the New Covenant — God’s dwelling among and within His people (Ephesians 2:19–22; 1Corinthians 3:16–17). The rejected Cornerstone and the Temple builders' mistake The stone which the builders rejectedHas become the chief corner stone.This is the LORD'S doing;It is marvelous in our eyes. Psalm 118:22–23 NASB95 In ancient building practice, the cornerstone often bore the mark or signature of the builder. It set the alignment of the entire structure. To reject it is to reject the builder's own standard for the house. Yeshua and the apostles apply this passage to Him (Matthew 21:42; Acts 4:11; 1Peter 2:7). The very One God sends as the foundation is refused by the leaders tasked with building God's house. Yet the psalm insists this rejection itself is “the LORD's doing” — part of His plan. Why would God allow the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil in Eden (Genesis 2–3)? Why would He speak in parables in such a way that many will “keep on hearing, but will not understand … keep on seeing, but will not perceive” (Isaiah 6:9–10; Matthew 13:13–15; Mark 4:11–12)? People can be steeped in Scripture, archaeology and languages and still miss the meaning. The difference is not exposure to information, but receptive understanding and obedience. “Good soil” both hears and does the word (Matthew 7:24–27). “Bad soil” hears, analyzes and even teaches, but refuses to be tilled. Zion: More than a nickname for Jerusalem There’s a lot of talk these days about צִיּוֹן Tziyon (Zion). In the prophets, it is not merely a poetic name for Jerusalem. It is Jerusalem elevated, transformed into a higher reality — God's ideal vision for His city. “until the Spirit is poured out upon us from on high;And the wilderness becomes a fertile field,And the fertile field is considered as a forest” Isaiah 32:15 NASB95 Then justice and righteousness fill the land, and the outcome is peace, quietness, and confident security (Isaiah 32:16–18). That picture matches the fruit of the Spirit described by Paul: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22–23 NASB95 So the key marker of true Zion is not simply Jewish sovereignty, walls or a physical temple. It is the outpoured Spirit of God and the resulting character transformation of the people. This leads naturally into a question raised about modern Zionism. Political Zionism, birthed in the 19th century by figures like Theodor Herzl, largely pursued a human, national project: a safe homeland for Jews. That movement had its own logic and necessity in history. But biblically, Zion in its fullest sense is a work of heaven, not only a work of human politics. Therefore, any Zionist vision — ancient or modern — that sidelines the Cornerstone and the outpoured Spirit risks building on a different foundation than the one God has chosen. Destruction, the Day of the LORD, and Jerusalem's Future Must Jerusalem must be destroyed again before the LORD returns, since Scripture speaks of the nations trampling the holy city (Luke 21:24; Revelation 11:2)? Prophetic passages like Zechariah 12–14 and parts of Revelation portray large‑scale conflict around Jerusalem. Forces gather against the city. The “day of the LORD” sometimes appears as a moment — like Messiah's feet standing on the Mount of Olives (Zechariah 14:4) — and sometimes as an extended season of judgment and restoration. There’s a possible dual pattern: destruction and rebuilding in history (586 B.C., A.D. 70, future conflicts) and a climactic end‑time scenario. It does not dogmatically settle every detail but underscores that the final Zion vision requires more than simply another rebuild of stone. It requires embracing the Cornerstone and receiving the Spirit poured from on high. Swept houses and the need for filling Yeshua in Matthew 12:43–45 (and Luke 11:24–26) describes an “unclean spirit” leaving, wandering through “waterless places,” then returning to find the “house” swept, put in order, but empty. The spirit then brings seven more wicked spirits, and the last state is worse than the first. This parable caps a chapter where Yeshua confronts leaders who see the power of God at work but call it demonic (Matthew 12:22–32). They “sweep” and “order” life by traditions, as based on the Bible as they may be, but they reject the very Spirit of God who empowers true change. So the problem is not only what leaves but Who enters. Passover imagery fits again. The Lamb's blood blocks the destroyer (Exodus 12:23). But if the “house” is never filled with God's own presence and Spirit, it remains vulnerable. This ties back to the twin aspects of Yeshua as the Lamb: He blocks the adversary's claim. He takes away sins and fills the life with His Spirit. Without that filling, believers can become more religious and more “ordered,” yet spiritually more enslaved. Law ‘fulfilled’? The study briefly touches on Matthew 5:17–19, where Yeshua says He came not to abolish the Torah or the Prophets but to “fulfill” them. The Greek verb is πληρόω plēroō (“to fill, to bring to fullness”). Some interpret “fulfill” to mean “render obsolete” when it concerns Torah. Yet same verb used elsewhere would make no sense that way. For example, when Yeshua tells Yochanan at His immersion that it is proper “to fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15), one would not say He came to end all righteousness. Thus, when the biblical text challenges prevailing assumptions — about Torah, feasts like Passover, or about Zion — Scripture calls the reader not to force a new meaning into the words (eisegesis) but to wrestle honestly with what God has said. From Passover night to Zion's future Lamb Selection Day leads to the moment when the lamb's blood marks the doorposts, and the Destroyer passes over/by (Exodus 12:7, 13, 23). That night of our freedom foreshadows: Yeshua as the Pesach Lamb, blocking wrath and delivering from the adversary's kingdom (1Corinthians 5:7; Colossians 1:13–14). Yeshua as the Lamb in Revelation who is worthy to open the scroll and its seals (Revelation 5:6–10). The journey from house of bondage to dwelling of God with mankind — what Sukkot pictures and Revelation 21–22 describes. “…Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.” Revelation 5:9–10 NASB95 The One Who drops the hammer in judgment is the same One Who shed His blood to purchase people out of every nation. Therefore, when judgment falls — on Egypt, on rebellious systems, or in the final day — the goal is not senseless destruction. The goal is freedom from physical or spiritual Egypt, freedom from false foundations and a rebuilt house in which God truly dwells. In that light, Lamb Selection Day becomes more than an obscure date on the Hebrew calendar. It becomes an invitation to examine the Lamb, to recognize the Cornerstone, to leave the “house of bondage,” and to welcome the Spirit who alone can turn Jerusalem into Zion and a swept house into a “living temple” of God. 1 Yeshua came to Bethany “six days before the Passover” (John 12:1). Because “the Passover” basically starts on the 15th day of the first month, that puts His arrival on the ninth day. So “the next day” (John 12:12) would be the 10th day.The post Triumphal entry & Passover lamb selection day: Seeing Palm Sunday through a Hebrew lens (John 12; Exodus 40) appeared first on Hallel Fellowship.

7 takeaways from this study God turns the “toxic” into cleansing life. The red heifer (Numbers 19) is both incredibly holy and, paradoxically, ritually toxic to those who handle it. This mirrors how Yeshua (Jesus), bearing sin and death, becomes the very means by which God cleanses and restores. From pariah to beloved: God's heart for the outcast. The play on pariah (socially rejected) and parah adumah (red heifer) highlights how God works through what the world despises. Believers — often treated as pariahs — share in Messiah's pattern: rejected by many, yet precious and chosen by God. Messiah is the telos (goal) of the Torah's righteousness. Messiah is the telos of the Torah — not “abolishing” it, but putting its purpose into effect. The “righteousness of God” that Israel pursued imperfectly without the Messiah is fulfilled in and through the Messiah, for all who believe. Death is the ultimate impurity — but Heaven will swallow it up. Death is treated as a toxic separation from God; the red heifer addresses impurity from contact with death. Passages like 1Corinthians 15 and Isaiah 25 show the endgame: “Death is swallowed up in victory,” and tears are wiped away. Red heifer, פֶּסַח Pesach (Passover) and יוֹם הַכִּפֻּרִים Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) converge in the Messiah. Passover: blood on the doorposts blocks the destroyer and delivers from slavery. Red Heifer: cleanses from death-related impurity. Yom Kippur’s goats “for the LORD” and “for removal” (Azazel) together deal with sins, transgressions and iniquities. Yeshua simultaneously fulfills all these roles — blocking wrath, cleansing from death and removing iniquity. God's goal is not just outward purity, but inward completion. The distinction between being outwardly “without blemish” and inwardly “complete, mature” shows God's deeper aim. Through exile, return and Messiah's work, God is forming a people who are clean both outside and inside, with a transformed heart. Heaven promises to forget the failings of those so seek freedom. So why should we drag them along on our journey? The New Covenant (Jeremiah 31) promises God will remember sins and iniquities no more. In Messiah, the way into God's presence is opened; we can approach with a clean conscience, unless we insist on dragging old chains that heaven has already released. Shabbat Parah (Sabbath of the Red Heifer), comes in the traditional readings cycle near to Passover. The study explores Numbers 19, Ezekiel 36, Jeremiah 31, Hebrews 9, and related passages, showing how the פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה parah adumah (red heifer), Passover and Yom Kippur all point to the work of the מָשִׁיחַ Mashiach (Messiah). At the heart of this teaching lies a paradox. The red heifer ritual produces something incredibly holy and cleansing, yet it renders those who handle it ritually impure. Likewise, Messiah bears sin and death and becomes, in the eyes of many, a “pariah,” yet through Him God brings cleansing, life, and restoration. This exploration moves from language and sacrifice to exile and return, and finally to the hope of death's defeat. From pariah to parah: God's heart for the outcast Pariah in English (from Tamil via Hindi) can describe people who are pushed to the margins and treated as “untouchable.” Though the word origins are unrelated, the phonetic similarity to parah (heifer) actually points to a profundity. Life modern and ancient creates pariahs. Some are socially invisible, the people others walk past without seeing. Others become pariahs in their own families, workplaces, or communities. Believers in the Holy One of Israel can also be treated as pariahs, marking us as someone to be dismissed, mocked, avoided or persecuted. This social reality echoes the prophetic description of the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53. He is “despised and forsaken of men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief” (Isaiah 53:3 NASB95). He carries the sins of many yet is rejected. The Gospel of John picks up this rejection theme: He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. John 1:11 NASB95 Messiah Himself thus shares in this pariah pattern. He is both rejected and yet chosen by God as the central means of redemption. Shabbat Parah us to reflect on how God chooses the “despised” and the “toxic” to bring healing and restoration. Way-markers toward freedom Shabbat Parah is the third of four special Sabbaths leading up to Passover. Shabbat Shekalim (Sabbath of Shekels): This focuses on the half-shekel contribution (Exodus 30:11–16). One takeaway is that every person is more than a number. Each life has weight and value in God's kingdom, like a shekel on the scales. Shabbat Zakhor (Sabbath of Remembrance): This recalls Amalek, who attacked Israel from the rear, targeting the weak and vulnerable (Deuteronomy 25:17–19). Amalek becomes a type of relentless, irrational hostility to God and His people. The study notes how this theme surfaces again in the story of Haman in the book of Esther, where God reverses the plot and turns the enemy's own gallows against him. Shabbat Parah (Sabbath of the Red Heifer): Here the theme shifts to death and impurity, and how God uses something paradoxically “toxic” and holy to bring cleansing. It prepares the heart for Passover by dealing with the deeper issue of death and defilement. Shabbat haChodesh (Sabbath of the New Month): Heaven points to the fresh start being given to Israel in leaving bondage in Mitzraim (Egypt) by resetting the nation’s calendar to start the cycle of annual memorial–festivals based on Passover. These Sabbaths together speak of value (shekels), danger and deliverance (Amalek), deep cleansing (red heifer) and new beginnings (new month), all moving toward the redemption story of Passover. Purity outside and inside In Numbers 19, the red heifer is described as פָּרָה אֲדֻמָּה תְּמִימָה Parah Adumah temimah — a red heifer that is תָּמִים tamim, usually translated “without blemish,” “flawless,” or “complete.” In the Septuagint (LXX), the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, to see how Jewish translators in the first to third centuries B.C. rendered tamim. Two key Greek words appear: ἄμωμος amōmos: “without defect, spotless,” stressing outward, visible flawlessness. τέλειος teleios: “complete, mature, having reached its goal,” focusing on wholeness and completion, not only outward but inward. Theological Dictionary of the New Testament notes that these terms can overlap, yet each has a nuance. Amōmos is more common in sacrificial contexts where physical and ritual purity matter, such as Leviticus 1. Teleios appears in other contexts to convey completeness or maturity. In Numbers 19, the red heifer is evaluated so carefully that even tradition speaks of counting hairs and color variations. This reflects the amōmos side: no visible defect. Yet God's greater concern is teleios — not just outer perfection but inner completion. The journey from exile and return, especially in Bible books like Ezra and Nehemiah, emphasizes that God desires change not only on the outside but also in the heart. He looks at the inside, not just the appearance (1Samuel 16:7). Thus, the red heifer becomes a symbol not simply of a flawless animal but of God's goal: a people who are whole, outside and inside. Messiah, the goal of Torah righteousness A related noun to teleios is τέλος telos, used in Romans 10:4: For Christ is the end [telos] of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes. Romans 10:4 NASB95 Often this is quoted as “Christ is the end of the law,” stopping there. However, in context (locally, Romans 10:1–4 and thematically, Romans 9–11), Israel has a zeal for God but not in accordance with full knowledge of Heaven’s method of salvation communicated through the תּוֹרָה Torah and Prophets. The issue was seeking to establish one’s own righteousness instead of submitting to God's righteousness (Romans 10:2–3). In context, telos does not mean “abolition” but “goal,” “destination,” or “completion.” Messiah is the telos of the Torah for righteousness. He brings the righteousness of God into its full expression for all who believe, Jew and Gentile alike. This aligns with messianic expectations that the coming of the Mashiach ushers in the fullness of God's צְדָקָה tzedakah (righteousness) and the age to come. Just as the red heifer must be without blemish and whole, how much more does Messiah brings the Torah's intention — true righteousness — to its intended goal. Death as toxic impurity The core problem addressed in the Bible is death. In Torah, death brings tum'ah (ritual impurity). The מִשְׁכָּן Mishkan (“dwelling place,” i.e., the Tabernacle) must not be contaminated by death or things decomposing/fermenting because the Creator is the source of life. Leviticus repeatedly states that “the life of the flesh is in the blood” (Leviticus 17:11). Offerings (qorbanot, “things that approach”) involve the pouring out of blood, which then moves toward the sanctuary of the Mishkan where the Ark of the Covenant/Testimony is located, with the Presence of God above it. This can seem paradoxical: something associated with death — shed blood — moves into the place of life and holiness. Similarly, the red heifer ritual uses the ashes of a burned animal associated with death, yet those ashes mixed with “living water” become a cleansing agent for people defiled by contact with a corpse (Numbers 19:17–19). Thus the tension: What looks most toxic, most associated with death, becomes God's appointed means of cleansing. Spiritually, death pictures separation from God, the life-giver and life-sustainer (Genesis 3). Messiah's mission is to conquer death for all who trust (have faith in) Heaven’s method. 1Corinthians 15:54–57 quotes from Isaiah 25 and Hosea 13: But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written,“DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP” in victory.“O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY?O DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR STING?” 1Corinthians 15:54–55 NASB95 Isaiah 25:8 promises that God “will swallow up death for all time” and “will wipe tears away from all faces” (NASB95). Hosea 13:14 speaks of ransom from the power of Sheol (grave, death) and mocks death's sting. Paul applies these to the resurrection hope in Messiah. In short, death feels inevitable in this present age. Yet Scripture insists that death is not original to God's creation design. It is an intruder that God will ultimately remove. Exile, the grave and the God Who Restores For Israel, exile from the Promised Land can feel like national death — buried among the nations with no future. In Hosea, Israel is likened to an unfaithful wife, yet the husband goes after her, buys her back, and restores her (Hosea 1–3). Exile is not the final word. This pattern scales up. Humanity as a whole experiences exile from Eden. Being outside the Garden is a kind of global exile from God's immediate presence. Prophetic promises of tears wiped away, death swallowed up, and shame removed (Isaiah 25; Revelation 7, 21) picture the final reversal of that exile. Once again, the dwelling place of God will be with humanity. In this light, the red heifer's cleansing of corpse impurity foreshadows a larger restoration. Those who feel abandoned, forgotten, or “buried” are not beyond God's reach. The God who redeems Israel from Sheol and exile intends to reverse humanity's exile from His presence. Passover, the destroyer, and the blood that blocks Heaven’s wrath As the calendar moves toward Passover, let’s compare the red heifer and the Passover Lamb. In Exodus 12, the 10th plague — death of the firstborn — threatens Egypt and Goshen alike. God commands Israel to slaughter a lamb or goat and put its blood on the doorposts and lintel (Exodus 12:7, 12–13). This blood marks the house so that the “destroyer” (מַשְׁחִית mashchit) passes over that place. This is a paradox: God sends the destroyer. God also provides the blood that blocks the destroyer. So the same God both judges and provides a covering. The blood averts wrath and protects life. In this way, Passover (and apostles like Paul) points to Messiah, the Passover lamb whose blood shields from judgment and delivers from slavery. The firstborn of Egypt die so that Israel may go free. Later, prophets can say, “Out of Egypt I called My son” (Hosea 11:1), referring first to Israel and, by extension, to Messiah (as the Gospel of Matthew applies it). מִצְרַיִם Mitzrayim (Egypt) even becomes a temporary place of refuge for Yeshua as a child when Herod seeks to kill Him. The red heifer ritual: Ashes and ‘living water’ Returning to Numbers 19, the red heifer ritual focuses on a flawless animal (various traditions differ on what that means) that has never been yoked is sacrificed outside the camp (Numbers 19:2–3). Cedar wood and hyssop, tied together with scarlet yarn, are burned together with the heifer. Each of these elements carries symbolic weight: Cedar wood: known for resisting decay and corruption. Hyssop: associated with cleansing (used with Passover blood on the doorposts and in purification rites; Exodus 12:22; Psalm 51:7). Scarlet yarn: evokes blood and binding together. All these, once burned to ashes, are mixed with “living water,” that is, running or fresh water, not stagnant (Numbers 19:17). The mixture becomes a powerful cleansing agent from corpse impurity. Humanity has long used ashes in soaps and cleansers. Here, though, the Torah describes a cleansing that goes beyond outward dirt. So, if a person can wash the outside, who will deal with the “dirt” on the inside? He answer is in Hebrews 9. Hebrews 9 and Yom Kippur: Cleansing Dead Works Hebrews has a sustained discussion of the Tabernacle and especially Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement) across its first 10 chapters. Hebrews 7–10 centers on the high priest, sacrifices, and access to the Holy of Holies (where the Ark of the Covenant and the Presence are located). It is striking that Hebrews 9 weaves in the red heifer alongside Yom Kippur imagery. The author explains that if the ashes of a heifer and other ritual elements sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, “how much more” will the blood of Messiah cleanse the conscience from dead works to serve the living God (Hebrews 9:13–14). Yom Kippur especially addresses not only sins and transgressions but also iniquity: Sin: missing the mark/target. Transgression: more deliberate crossing of known boundaries. Iniquity: deeper twistedness and guilt that no ordinary offering can resolve. On Yom Kippur, two goats are chosen by lot (Leviticus 16). One is “for the LORD,” its blood brought into the Holy of Holies. The other is “for עֲזָאזֵל Azazel,” commonly called the scapegoat, which bears the sins, transgressions, and iniquities of Israel and is sent into the wilderness. Together, the high priest and the goats form a team. One goat's blood covers; the other carries away. Yet in the earthly system, this must be repeated yearly. The uncleanness and iniquity keep returning, demanding ongoing sacrifices. Hebrews presents Messiah as the ultimate high priest and the perfect sacrifice who enters not an earthly copy but the heavenly reality. He deals with iniquity in a final way. The Temple’s red heifer problem and the need for Mashiach There’s a practical halachic (spiritual practice/tradition) puzzle: to offer a red heifer, the officiating priest must already be ritually clean. But to become clean from corpse impurity, one needs the ashes of a red heifer. So how does one start the cycle again if it has been broken for centuries? Some Jewish traditions propose that only the Mashiach, or someone with a unique face-to-face relationship with God like Moses, could initiate this anew. In this view, Mashiach alone is pure enough from the outset to offer that first red heifer again. This fits the larger pattern in Hebrews: human efforts can maintain ritual purity for a time, but only Messiah can finally break the loop of death and impurity. New Covenant, forgotten iniquities and a clean conscience In Jeremiah 31's New Covenant prophecy, Heaven promises not just a renewed Torah on the heart but also forgiveness on a new level: “For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.” Jeremiah 31:34 NASB95 In Messiah, sins, transgressions, and iniquities are not simply covered, but Heaven also removes and forgets them. Yom Kippur's pattern reaches its hinted telos (goal). If God does not hold these things over His people anymore, we need not drag them like chains. Hebrews 3–4 connects this with entering God's rest, presented in Scripture as both a sacred place (the Promised Land) and a sacred time (שַׁבָּת Shabbat, Sabbath). Shabbat becomes a picture of the “place where we belong,” the rest inaugurated by Messiah's work. Because of His blood and priesthood, the way through the veil, represented in the Tabernacle as separating the Presence of God from humanity, is open for access via Yeshua. Believers may enter God's presence boldly, with a clean conscience, knowing that Heaven does not keep a record of those forgiven iniquities. This does not deny that people can cling to guilt and shame. One can insist on dragging what Heaven has released. Yet from the heavenly perspective described in Hebrews and Jeremiah, those iniquities, once forgiven, are truly gone. Messiah as fulfillment of all the LORD’s appointments with humanity Messiah does not only bring to fullness the parah adumah (red heifer), Passover, and Yom Kippur, He also fulfills all of God's appointed times (מוֹעֲדִים mo'edim): Pesach: He is the Lamb whose blood blocks judgment and delivers from slavery. Matzot (Unleavened Bread) and Firstfruits: His sinlessness and resurrection life follow naturally from that. שָׁבוּעוֹת Shavuot (Weeks, Pentecost): He pours out the Spirit and writes Torah on hearts. יוֹם תְּרוּעָה Yom Teruah (Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah): End-time trumpet imagery in Matthew 24, Paul's letters and Revelation echoes this festival. Yom Kippur (Day of Atonement): He is the high priest and both goats, covering and removing iniquity. סֻכּוֹת Sukkot (Tabernacles, Booths): “The Word became flesh and dwelt (literally, tabernacled) among us” (John 1:14), echoing the Mishkan and the festival of dwelling with God. The spring festivals have already seen direct fulfillments in Messiah's first coming, while the fall festivals likely correspond to events of the day of the LORD and Messiah's return. Yet even now, Messiah embodies the meaning of them all. Thus, from shekel to scapegoat, from red heifer to resurrection, God uses what seems weak, rejected, or “toxic” to bring about cleansing, righteousness and life. Shabbat Parah becomes a powerful reminder that in Messiah, the telos of the Torah, Heaven will swallow up death, reverse exile, and cover and forget repentant iniquity.

Time to play some catch up! In this episode, we get to meet award-winning filmmaker of His Three Daughters, Azazel Jacobs. Full disclosure: this chat (and the one that will constitute my next episode too..shh!!) was actually recorded back in the spring, but life things and other deadlines kept pushing it, and now here I am embarrassingly in early winter only publishing it now. But, as it happens, I was already playing catch up with Azazel, who had released the magnificent His Three Daughters - starring Carrie Coon, Elizabeth Olsen, and Natasha Lyonne - about the year prior, which had come off a nice run of awards notice, including the prestigious Robert Altman award at the 2025 Independent Spirit Awards. So it was great fun to look back on his eventful year, which felt like a bit of a breakthrough into a new echelon of visibility and acclaim for him. We talk a lot about that film, including what it was like to work with this cast, and with such a deeply heartfelt and personal story. We talk about his early foundational films he found as he was discovering his voice, his love of cinema, and how he comes at the art of moviemaking. It was a great chat, and even though it's coming out a bit late, I think you'll still find a lot to love about this deep talk with a talented filmmaker. Thanks for listening.
L'expression « bouc émissaire » a une origine à la fois biblique, religieuse et symbolique, remontant à plus de trois mille ans. Aujourd'hui, elle désigne une personne injustement accusée et punie à la place des véritables responsables — mais son sens premier était beaucoup plus concret et rituel.Tout commence dans l'Ancien Testament, dans le Livre du Lévitique (chapitre 16), texte fondamental de la tradition juive. À l'époque, les Hébreux célébraient chaque année le Yom Kippour, le grand jour de l'expiation. Ce jour-là, le grand prêtre d'Israël accomplissait un rituel destiné à purifier le peuple de ses fautes. Deux boucs étaient choisis : l'un était sacrifié à Dieu, l'autre devenait le bouc émissaire. Le prêtre posait symboliquement les mains sur sa tête et transférait sur lui les péchés de toute la communauté. Puis l'animal, chargé de ces fautes, était chassé dans le désert, vers un lieu inhabité appelé « Azazel ». Il emportait ainsi les péchés du peuple loin du camp.Ce rite très ancien visait à purifier la collectivité en rejetant symboliquement le mal hors d'elle. L'expression hébraïque originelle, ‘azazel, a longtemps prêté à confusion : on ne savait pas s'il s'agissait d'un lieu, d'un démon du désert ou du nom donné au bouc lui-même. Les premières traductions de la Bible en grec, puis en latin, ont choisi de rendre le terme par « bouc pour l'éloignement » (caper emissarius), d'où vient notre expression française « bouc émissaire ».Au fil des siècles, la dimension religieuse a disparu, mais l'image est restée puissante. Le bouc émissaire est devenu une métaphore sociale et psychologique. Dans toute société, lorsqu'un groupe traverse une crise — guerre, famine, épidémie, échec politique — il cherche souvent un responsable unique, un individu ou une minorité sur qui reporter la faute collective. C'est ce mécanisme que le philosophe et anthropologue René Girard a théorisé au XXe siècle : selon lui, les sociétés humaines maintiennent leur cohésion en désignant une victime expiatoire, qu'on exclut ou qu'on sacrifie pour apaiser les tensions internes.Ainsi, le « bouc émissaire » d'aujourd'hui — qu'il soit un collègue, un groupe social ou un peuple — n'est que l'héritier moderne du rituel antique : une manière de se débarrasser du mal ou du conflit en le projetant sur un autre. L'expression rappelle à quel point le besoin de désigner un coupable est ancré dans nos mécanismes les plus anciens de survie et de cohésion collective. Hébergé par Acast.

There is a filler episode and a filler episode. Welcome to Lina struggling to find anything about the plot, she enjoyed, mostly because there's not much of a plot to talk about. As Morpheus goes through the candidates for the ruler of Hell, Vero gets very focused on Nada, and breezes over details, that may or may not be important in the next episode. While Lina still hates how they pronounce Azazel's name on the show, and finds a new character to love.

From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible whispers of a cosmic battle raging just beyond human sight—a spiritual war that will soon erupt into the physical realm. Angels Eternal: War of the Princes pulls back the curtain on God's Divine Council, revealing the hierarchy of angels, archangels, seraphim, cherubim, and the mysterious nachash—and exposing their ancient enemies: Satan, Semjaza, Azazel, and the demonic legions born from rebellion.
Biblical prophecy researcher and author, Gary Wayne, explores end-times prophecy and the forces behind it, from Merovingian bloodlines to Israel and the New World Order, on episode 218 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.Watch Gary's first appearance on our show: Secret Societies, Royal Bloodlines, and Hidden Bible Revelations https://youtu.be/ssCT8HkT0FcGary Wayne is the author of The Genesis 6, where he examines the hidden role of bloodlines, secret societies, and prophecy in shaping world events. With decades of research into biblical history, mythology, and geopolitics, Wayne is known for connecting ancient narratives to modern movements, from the rise of secret orders to the shaping of global religions.In this wide-ranging conversation, Gary and Faust decode the hidden symbolism of royal heraldry, the influence of Watchers and angels on elite bloodlines, and the prophetic significance of Mount Hermon. They examine the contested legacy of the Priory of Sion and the enduring role of secret societies in shaping history, while also unpacking explosive claims about Jesus, Mary Magdalene, and the Merovingian bloodline that have fueled centuries of speculation.The discussion also explores the rise of a universal world religion and the advance of artificial intelligence tie into prophecy. Together, Gary and Faust consider the cycles of history, the “war gene” of ruling elites, and the uneasy alliance between Christian Zionists and Israel in end-times prophecy.In this episode:•Heraldry & prophecy anchors: from royal crests to the mysteries of Mount Hermon•Jesus, Mary Magdalene & Merovingians: bloodline claims and Israel's contested symbols•Watchers, Seraphim, Cherubim, Nephilim, and giants in elite genealogies•Nimrod, Azazel/Baphomet, Pan, and why CERN carries a horned name•Templars to Zionists: from Godfrey de Bouillon and the House of Habsburg to Rothschilds and Christian Zionists steering Israel's destiny•Sabbateans & Frankists: mystical sects and counterfeit messianic movements•Universal religion & AI: red heifer sacrifices, Antichrist expectations, and technology as forbidden wisdom reborn•The Antichrist bloodline: why prophecy points to a ruler rising from elite genealogies•The war gene & false flags: why ruling bloodlines repeat conflict• Prophecies: Sibylline oracles to Nostradamus and today's apocalyptic visions•Celebrity Symbology: Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and the revival of occult imagery in pop culture•Gog vs. Armageddon: the timeline and scale most people misunderstand…and much more!Chapters:00:00 The hidden purpose of giants.01:00 Decoding secret histories and fallen angels.03:04 Heraldry explained: what lions, unicorns and other creatures really mean.04:24 The ancient giants' mission from the gods07:07 Which families rule and how intermarriage changes crests.08:14 Seraphim vs cherubim and the dragon gods10:10 Cherubim's four faces12:14 Crystal bags, tree of life scenes, and watcher depictions.14:19 Why giant traits dilute and reappear in heraldry.16:02 Gargoyles, church imagery and watcher iconography.18:08 How standards and flags encode genealogies20:57 Horned gods, CERN etymology, and the ancient names for destroyer gods.22:44 Mithra, Azazel and the End Times27:18 The star symbols and occult adoption30:07 Moloch explained34:04 Mount Hermon explained36:53 Eden and why the Middle East stays geopolitically central.40:02 Mechanics by which elites try to stage end-time scenarios.47:23 Reading symbols, guarding history, and what comes next.52:01 Partnership between Christian Zionists and Israeli Jews explained53:1we'd love to hear from you
In this Bible Study we walk through all of Leviticus 16 in which we study the Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur (יום כיפור). The Day of Atonement was (and still is) the most holy day for all of Israel, although it was celebrated differently in Moses' day from how it is today. We will talk about the foundation of this Holy Day, as well as what a scapegoat is (and who/what is Azazel).OUTLINE:00:13 - Personal update.

The Book of Enoch has fascinated Christians, historians, and conspiracy theorists alike. Quoted in the New Testament and preserved in ancient manuscripts, it raises the question: If it's so important, why isn't it in the Bible?In this episode, Stephen Boyce will break down the three major Enochic writings—1 Enoch, 2 Enoch, and 3 Enoch—exploring their origins, contents, and influence. We'll cover why the Ethiopian Orthodox Church includes 1 Enoch in its canon, why the rest of Christianity does not, and what early Jewish and Christian communities thought of these books.Drawing from historical evidence, manuscript studies, and centuries of canon debates, we'll look at: • The difference between canonical Scripture and pseudepigrapha • The limited and regional reception of Enoch • Why its absence from the Hebrew Bible matters • How the New Testament uses 1 Enoch without affirming it as Scripture • Theological and textual reasons for its exclusionIf you've ever wondered about the Watchers, Azazel, or why Jude quotes Enoch, this episode will give you the historical and theological clarity you need.If you'd like to donate to our ministry or be a monthly partner that receives newsletters and one on one discussions with Dr. Boyce, here's a link: https://give.tithe.ly/?formId=6381a2ee-b82f-42a7-809e-6b733cec05a7 ⸻#BookOfEnoch #Enoch #BiblicalCanon #BibleHistory #Apocrypha #Pseudepigrapha #Watchers #Azazel #1Enoch #2Enoch #3Enoch #AncientManuscripts #EthiopianOrthodox #BiblicalStudies #ChurchHistory #DeadSeaScrolls #BiblePodcast #ChristianPodcast #TheologyPodcast #CanonDebates #StephenBoyce

It all started with a question—one that kept coming back to me no matter how many times I tried to just accept the surface answers. As I've grown in my faith, the Lord has surrounded me with new people—brothers and sisters with different walks, different understandings, and a hunger to know the truth. Through conversations, study, and prayer, certain things started to reach my ears that I hadn't given much thought to before. One of the biggest? This question about Satan. The Devil. The Serpent. The Dragon. The Deceiver.Who is it?Or better yet… is it even an it?Support & Stay Connected •
The end of chapter 1! Does the goat that is sent to "Azazel" atone for kohanim? Unclear, but they have other means of atonement. Plus, the dispute between Rabbi Yehudah and Rabbi Shimon on atonement. And, with the new chapter, a long mishnah, beginning with the case of a person who touches an impure thing and then enters the holy (or handles the holy foods) - but inadvertently (namely, the transgression is "hidden from him" - the consequences depend on the particulars. And the mishnah continues with many cases, with details about purity -- including extending the size of Jerusalem or the courtyard of the Temple. Plus, the case of where the action is known, but not the impurity (specifically in the case of a sheretz -- creepy-crawly).
This week's learning is sponsored by Sarah Zahavi to the continued health and good outcome for Chesya Rut bat Chana. The Mishna explains that Yom Kippur atones for positive commandments. If one has already repented, they receive atonement immediately. Therefore, it is assumed that the Mishna is referring to one who has not yet repented. This accords with the opinion of Rebbi who holds that Yom Kippur atones even for sins for which one has not yet repented. The rabbis disagree and hold that Yom Kippur only atones for sins if one has repented. A difficulty is raised as the next part of the Mishna accords with Rabbi Yehuda's position that the goat sent to Azazel atones for kohanim as well. This issue is resolved - both parts of the Mishna are attributed to Rebbi, and on the issue of the goat to Azazel, he adopts Rabbi Yehuda's position. Abaye asked Rav Yosef if Rabbi Yehuda holds by Rebbi's position regarding one who did not repent before Yom Kippur. Rav Yosef explains that he does not and brings a source from Safra to support his answer, as it is known that an unattributed Safra is assumed to be authored by Rabbi Yehuda. There is a contradiction between two different sources in the Safra - one says that Yom Kippur atones even without repentance and the other says it only atones with repentance. Abaye and Rava each resolve the contradiction differently. Rabbi Yehuda and Rabbi Shimon disagree about which sacrifices on Yom Kippur atone for all the kohanim's sins - the goat that is sent to Azazel or the bull of the high priest. What is the basis in the verses in the Torah for each of the approaches? A braita is brought regarding which sacrifice atones for the sins of the kohanim. Rava and Abaye disagree about whether the braita's author is Rabbi Shimon or Rabbi Yehuda.
Shevuot bookmark Study Guide Shevuot 2 Masechet Shevuot is sponsored by Janet Hod "With immense gratitude to Hashem and also to Michelle and the Hadran team for all that they do" The Mishna lists four topics, each with four types of cases - two mentioned explicitly in the Torah and two that are extensions of the rabbis. the first topic is an oath of expression, when one takes an oath to either do or not to do something. The second is a person who is impure and forgets about their impure status and goes into the Temple or eats sacrificial items. The third and fourth relate to laws of carrying from one domain to another and a leprous mark. The first two cases incur the same type of sacrifice - a sliding scale offering, what one brings depends on the financial means of the one obligated to bring the sacrifice. The Mishna elaborates on the second category - one who goes to the Temple while impure and forgets momentarily about being impure or ate sacrificial items while being in a state of impurity. The process of atonement is through an individual sin offering. If one never realizes one's mistake or one does not even know that one became impure, one receives atonement from communal sin offerings. There are several communal sin offerings - brought on Rosh Chodesh, the three holidays (regalim) and Yom Kippur. For what sins do each of them atone? Are they meant to atone for the same transgressions or for different ones? What do the other sacrifices brought on Yom Kippur atone for (the two goats that are determined by a lottery - one is offered inside the Temple and one sent to Azazel)? There are several opinions about the purpose of each of the above sacrifices. For what purpose is the bull offering of the High Priest on Yom Kippur?
Gary Wayne, author of "The Genesis 6 Conspiracy" parts 1 and 2, returns to the Days of Noah to help us understand just what the punishment those angels who formerly did not obey (1 Peter 3:20) received and what this Pit Prison was like. We talk about Azazel as the leader of these rebellious spirits, whether Lucifer and Satan are the same entity, and much much more! With the following Episode, 128, we'll conclude our conversation and discuss the victory speech Jesus made to those very same imprisoned beings.

Overview:In this episode of Ryan and Brian's Bible Bistro, the hosts dive into the intriguing world of First Enoch, a pseudepigraphical text that has captured the curiosity of many within and beyond Christian circles. Ryan and Brian discuss its origins, content, and significance while addressing common questions about its relationship to the biblical canon and its historical context. This episode offers a fresh perspective, including Brian's first-time reading impressions, and aims to clarify what First Enoch is—and what it isn't.What is First Enoch?Defined as a pseudepigraphical book, meaning it's falsely attributed to Enoch, a descendant of Adam and father of Methuselah, who didn't actually write it.Likely composed between the 3rd century BC and post-New Testament times, with parts dated to the intertestamental period.Fits the genre of apocalyptic literature, characterized by divine guides and supernatural narratives (e.g., similar to Revelation and Daniel).Genesis 5:24 highlights Enoch's unique story: “Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him away,” sparking fascination as one of two Old Testament figures (alongside Elijah) not said to have died.Structure of First EnochComprises 108 chapters divided into five sections:Book of Watchers (Ch. 1-36): Focuses on fallen angels (sons of God) intermarrying with human women, producing the Nephilim (giants), and introducing evil via figures like Azazel.Similitudes of Enoch (Ch. 37-71): Explores angelology, the “Son of Man,” and divine judgment, with debated dating relative to the New Testament.Astronomical Book (Ch. 72-82): Details a solar calendar (364 days), contrasting with the Jewish lunar calendar, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls.Book of Dream Visions (Ch. 83-90): Recasts Israel's history through animal allegory (e.g., sheep as the righteous, boars as adversaries), ending with the Maccabean period.Epistle of Enoch (Ch. 91-108): Offers exhortations, an “Apocalypse of Weeks,” and additional Noah-related content.Why the Interest in First Enoch?Answers curious questions left open by canonical Scripture, such as the identity of the Nephilim (Genesis 6) and the origins of evil.Referenced in Jude 14-15 (quoting 1 Enoch 1:9), and possibly alluded to in 1 Peter 3:19-20 and 2 Peter 2:4-5, raising questions about its early Christian reception.Included in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church's canon (81 books total), with the only complete manuscript preserved in an Ethiopian language.Parallels in other texts like the Book of Jubilees and the Mormon Book of Moses fuel further intrigue.First Impressions and ObservationsBrian shares his initial reaction: First Enoch feels “wild” and disjointed compared to Scripture, lacking the Bible's narrative continuity and spiritual coherence.Ryan notes its appeal lies in sensationalism (e.g., YouTube videos about hidden knowledge), but it lacks the authoritative character of canonical texts.Key Passages Explored1 Enoch 20: Lists seven archangels (Uriel, Raphael, Raguel, Michael, Sariel, Gabriel, Remiel), expanding biblical angelology beyond Michael and Gabriel.1 Enoch 13:1-2: Enoch condemns Azazel for teaching humanity unrighteousness, casting him as a source of evil.1 Enoch 89:72+: Animal allegory depicts the rebuilding of Zerubbabel's temple, critiquing its inadequacy.1 Enoch 40: Four archangels praise God, reminiscent of...
Enoch is the only human in history, as far as we know, tasked with delivering God's judgment to a group of rebellious angels. This week, we discuss Enoch's mission to the fallen Watchers. We note that he was called by loyal Watchers—which suggests that “Watcher” is a class or rank of supernatural being, some of which are still faithful to God (as in Daniel 4)—to announce God's punishment to the rebels: No peace, no forgiveness, and they would see the destruction of their sons, the giant Nephilim. It is interesting to note that Azazel (or Asael) was singled out in 1 Enoch 13 for the forbidden knowledge he taught humanity. The fallen Watchers then commissioned Enoch to take a petition to God on their behalf, asking for forgiveness for themselves and the Nephilim. However, there was nothing in the petition about the children of Adam and Eve who had suffered so greatly because of the Watchers' transgressions. God rejected the plea of the fallen Watchers, which was summarized in a document called The Book of the Words of Truth and the Reprimand of the Watchers Who Were from of Old. We also discuss the geographic clues in this section of Enoch, which place the action in the Upper Galilee, near the ancient city of Dan and a waterfall identified by one scholar as the Ayun Stream, one of the sources of the Jordan River, near the village of Metula in the northernmost part of Israel. (We plan to take our Israel tour there in October—more details at GilbertHouse.org/travel). Question of the week: How could Jesus be our perfect sacrifice if God “made him to be sin” (2 Cor. 5:21)?
