Podcasts about Hosea

Newly vomited onto dry ground, Jonah obeys the LORD's gracious second call to go and proclaim His Word to Nineveh. The LORD cares about this great city, and so He sends Jonah to call it to repentance. Even through Jonah's harsh sermon, the LORD's Word does what He intends, and the entire city of Nineveh is brought to repentance. From the greatest to the least, the Ninevites turn to the LORD for mercy, and He shows them precisely that mercy as He spares them from the disaster He had proclaimed through Jonah.  Rev.

Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.

The LORD showed grace to Jonah by appointing a fish to swallow the rebellious prophet and spare his life. From the belly of the fish, Jonah prayed to the LORD based on prayers that he had learned from the Psalms. Jonah recognized that the LORD had cast him into the depths, but Jonah also knew that the LORD alone could deliver him from those depths. Jonah cried out to the LORD to the temple as the place the LORD had promised to be present for His people's salvation. The LORD gave His salvation to Jonah by causing the fish to vomit the prophet back onto dry ground. Jonah's three days and nights in the belly of the fish are a type of the death and resurrection of Jesus.  Rev.

This week, we begin our new series looking at the minor prophets and how they carry an important picture of God's promises. Pastor Abraham tee's off our series with a heavy hitting look at Hosea.Our apologies for last week's error, the audio file was corrupted during upload.

Jonah was from the northern kingdom, Israel, during the days of Jeroboam II. When the LORD called Jonah to be His prophet to proclaim repentance to the city of Nineveh, Jonah refused and tried to flee by boat from the LORD. When the sailors recognized divine activity against them, Jonah unwittingly preached the truth to them, even if he was not living according to that truth at the moment. Despite Jonah's attempt to avoid the LORD's Word, the LORD still accomplishes His will of revealing Himself to these pagan sailors through the storm and its stilling.   Rev.

#christianity #protestant #reformationThere is a solitary, humble, wooden structure on a windswept hill in rural New England. To open the door is to engage our minds, our hearts, and our imaginations. In this place, preachers and professors, past and present, come alive as they walk the aisle, ascend the pulpit stairs, and teach…from theology, from history, and from the Word of God. Welcome to the Saybrook Meetinghouse, an audio production of Saybrook Ministries. Saybrook Ministries' vision is to inspire and invigorate Christians with imaginative and intellectual content.Saybrook Ministries' mission is to provide didactic and devotional content from the Christian faith delivered to the saints; recovered and refined by the Protestant Reformation.Saybrook Ministries' prayer is that our content will be (1) to Christians convinced of Reformation truths: encouraging & powerful; (2) to Christians unconvinced of Reformation truths: educational & persuasive; (3) to non-Christians: engaging & prophetic.Saybrook Ministries' four foundational scriptures are: The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times (Psalm 12:6). The people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. And the wise among the people shall make many understand (Daniel 11:32b-33a). And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O LORD have not forsaken those who seek you (Psalm 9:10). Let us know; let us press on to know the Lord; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth (Hosea 6:3).

Yes, I have seen something horrible in Ephraim and Israel: My people are defiled by prostituting themselves with other gods! (Hosea 6:10 NLT).--Chapter Time Stamps:00:00 Intro00:18 Chapter 102:48 Chapter 207:23 Chapter 308:27 Chapter 411:55 Chapter 514:30 Chapter 616:08 Chapter 718:41 Chapter 821:09 Chapter 924:41 Chapter 1027:57 Chapter 1130:09 Chapter 1232:20 Chapter 1335:06 Chapter 1436:54 Outro--contact@parableministries.comhttps://www.parableministries.comhttps://www.instagram.com/parable_ministries/--Music created by Chad HoffmanArtwork created by Anthony Kuenzi--Holy Bible, New Living Translation, copyright © 1996, 2004, 2015 by Tyndale House Foundation.

In a week filled with tragedy and noise, we pause to ask a deeper question: Who are we becoming? The prophets remind us that God's concern is not just with our actions, but with the kind of people we are being formed into. Hosea's marriage to Gomer—a story of unfaithfulness met with relentless love—stands as a living parable of God's covenant with His people. Though we often place our hope in politics, wealth, or personal success, God calls us back to Himself, offering restoration and a new identity. This message invites us to reflect: Is our life a demonstration of the world's values, or of divine love? And if we continue on the path we're walking today, what kind of person are we becoming for eternity?

Hosea 1-3. As we finish our series from the Minor Prophets, we look at Hosea and its unique approach to Israel's infidelity. In this study, Evangelist Jacob Holman examines the first three chapters of Hosea and its timeless message that God's faithful love endures.

Hosea 11-14. The book of Hosea concludes with God portraying Himself as both a hurt Father desiring to show mercy to His prodigal son and as a judge requiring justice for the covenant violations of His people. In this study, Evangelist Gavin Williams examines the Lord's plea for Israel to return to Him.

Peter's application of Joel 2 to the Day of Pentecost helps us to understand Joel 3 as fulfilled in the life of the Church right now, looking forward to the Last Day. The LORD gathers all nations to be judged by His Word as it is proclaimed by His Church now as a two-edged sword. In this way, the LORD makes ready the final harvest. For those who do not trust in Jesus for salvation, there is only the LORD's vengeance against them, but for those who find their refuge in Jesus, He causes His blessings to overflow.  Rev.

Joel's preaching concerning the LORD's outpouring of His Spirit finds fulfillment on the Day of Pentecost in Acts 2, when Peter uses this section as his sermon text. The LORD gives His Holy Spirit to draw people to faith in the only Savior, Jesus Christ, who has suffered under the wrath of God on the Day of the LORD in our place. By the outpouring of the Spirit, sinners are brought to call upon the name of the LORD for salvation, and as baptized believers, they too begin to speak the Word of God so that more will hear and believe in Jesus for salvation.  Rev.

This episode is our closing argument for the Septuagint (LXX) and its proper place as the Word of God — the Scripture of the Early Church, the Apostles, and Christ Himself. Once you have finished this episode, you will need to decide for yourself if you believe the argument as presented or if you intend to double down on the ‘Hebrew' the rabbis smuggled into the churches. The question is one of fidelity to God and to His Word, and it is a question that will split the churches, that will sift the wheat from the chaff. “But I and my household will serve the Lord, because He is holy.” Show Notes Romans 2:24 → Isaiah 52:5 Romans 3:4 → Psalm 51:4 (LXX Psalm 50:6) Romans 9:25b → Hosea 2:23 Romans 9:27 → Isaiah 10:22 Romans 9:27-28 → Isaiah 10:22-23 Romans 9:29 → Isaiah 1:9 Romans 9:33; 10:11 → Isaiah 28:16 Romans 10:18 → Psalm 19:4 (LXX Ps 18:5. .

In this episode of Arise + Abide, Curtis and Sally reflect on Hosea chapter 3, where Hosea is called to redeem his unfaithful wife as a living picture of God's unfailing love for His people. Together, they explore how this passage reveals the depth of God's commitment to Israel despite betrayal and idolatry, and how it points forward to His covenant of love fulfilled in Christ. The conversation highlights how true love is rooted in relationship and care rather than physical desire, and how God's unconditional love calls us to extend grace to others who may not meet our expectations. Curtis and Sally also challenge listeners to consider where they may be seeking peace, security, or identity outside of God, and remind us that our calling as followers of Christ is to shine His light and embody His love to all people. The episode closes with a look at God's promise that, in the last days, people will tremble in awe of His goodness, recognizing Him alone as the true source of life and hope.

Do not my words do good to him who walks uprightly? Micah 2:7   One of my favorite books of the Bible, highlighting the character of our God - faithful in steadfast love, but holy and righteous in His judgment. He predicted a time when prophets, like himself, would vanish from Israel, but boldly proclaimed God's message in his day: Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision, and darkness to you, without divination. The sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be black over them; the seers shall be disgraced, and the diviners put to shame; they shall all cover their lips, for there is no answer from God.   But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.   Micah 3:6–8 Micah was a contemporary of Amos, Hosea; and Isaiah, and he accurately predicted the fall of Israel to Assyria and Judah to Babylon in judgment for their wicked abuse of power and oppression of the poor. His indictment is scathing: Hear, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel! Is it not for you to know justice?— you who hate the good and love the evil Micah 3:1–2 It is no mistake that in the book of Micah God is looking out for the humble, lowly and poor who are being mistreated by the powerful and corrupt, as the birthplace of the Messiah is here announced as that humble little agrarian town of Bethlehem, the House of Bread ... the bread that comes down from heaven, who also was used and abused by the powerful.   Micah's predictions of the Lord Jesus, like those of Isaiah, are stunning! ... with a rod they strike the judge of Israel on the cheek. But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel, whose coming forth is from of old, from ancient days.   This helpful summary of Micah, we pray, will help in your study of this wonderful book in God's word. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MFEUEcylwLc

Today we're talking about one of the most importantsubjects in the entire Bible, and that is that we might know God. Paul'svery first prayer for the church in Ephesus, and the first of his four prisonprayers, is found here in verses 15-23. He begins by saying, "I do notcease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers." Now,it's amazing how to most of churches that he wrote to, or that he was part offounding, and that he was encouraging, that he talks about praying for them “withoutceasing”. Paul must have had an awesome continuous prayer life as he prayedfor the different saints in the different churches in the different places ofthe world. He was a man of prayer.  Whatdid Paul pray? His prayers were not for their material needs, that they wouldhave money, not that they could pay their bills, not that they could buildbetter and bigger buildings or churches. Those things could have been importantand maybe were important at times, but his prayer was that “the God of ourLord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to them the spirit of wisdomand revelation in the knowledge of Him”.  Icouldn't help but think of Hosea chapters 4 and 6. God said, "My peopleare destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). That is what happens whenwe fail to know who God is. Then Hosea gives this invitation from God in chapter6: "Come, let us return to the Lord" (v. 1). In verse 3, "Letus know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord." And then God speaksin verse 6, “For I desire mercy and not sacrifice and the knowledge of Godmore than burnt offerings”. God wants us to “know Him”.  Thoughthe knowledge of God is the highest knowledge possible, the atheist claimsthere is no God for us to know. The agnostic states that if there is a God, youcannot know Him. But Paul met God in the person of Jesus Christ. And he knowsthat a man really can't understand much of anything else without a knowledge ofGod. The knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom. The “fear of the Lordis the beginning of wisdom”. Romans1 tells us that this willful ignorance of God led mankind into corruption andcondemnation. Paul describes the beginning of this progression with thesewords: “Who suppress the truth in unrighteousness” (v. 18). “Because,although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, butbecame futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened”(v. 21).  And then Paul goes on to showthe development of how willful ignorance leads to idolatry, substituting a liefor the truth, exchanging God the creator for a worship of the man who wascreated. It then develops into immorality and indecency. And it all begins withan unwillingness to know God as Creator, as Sustainer, as Governor, as Savior,and as the Judge of our lives. There is tremendous danger and consequences whenthe believer does not grow in the knowledge of God.  InPhilippians 3:10, Paul said, "That I might know Him and the power ofHis resurrection," meaning to be intimately acquainted with God. Toknow God personally is salvation. Jesus prayed in John 17:3; “And this iseternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whomYou have sent”. To know God is to increase in sanctification (Philippians3:10). And to know God leads to ultimate glorification (1 Corinthians 13:9-12). Myfriend, we are made in the image of God. And the better we know God, the moresatisfied we are in Him, and the more satisfied we are even in ourselves. And thatis how we bring the greatest glory to Him. That's what God desires. That iswhat Paul prayed for the believers at Ephesus. We should pray this for ourselves.We can pray this for others.  “ThatI might know Him”—God,the true, the only God. May the Lord help us today to love and live for Himwith all of our hearts.  Godbless!

This week, we begin our new series looking at the Minor Prophets. Over the next 12-13 weeks, we will be studying each book from Hosea to Malachi. Starting off in Hosea, Pastor Abraham leads us through this book of God's heart for forgiveness and redemption.

Joel answers the question from the end of the previous text. The one who endures the great and awesome day of the LORD is the one who returns to the LORD in repentance. Such repentance is not only an outward mourning, but true inward grief over sin. Such repentance is for all people and must not be delayed. Such repentance is the gift of God, whose grace and mercy draws us to Him in confession of our sins, trusting that He will be faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  Rev.

The LORD sounds His trumpet to proclaim His coming Day. His judgment on that Day is described with imagery of darkness, fire, locusts, chariots, and warriors, all reminiscent of the plagues against Egypt before the exodus. Those who have set themselves against the LORD will have no escape, for He is the One bringing His army. The only one who can endure the Day is the one who takes refuge in the LORD. Jesus has endured the wrath of God on the Day of the LORD in our place, so for us, the Day of the LORD at the end brings salvation and resurrection.  Rev.

We're made to praise! Join us as we dig into what that means for each of us in our daily lives and our life together! (2 Chronicles 20, Hosea 2:14-15, Exodus 15 - September 7, 2025)

9/8/2025 | Today's morning devotional by C. H. Spurgeon on SermonAudio: Title: Spurgeon's Morning & Evening - Sep 8 AM Subtitle: Spurgeon's Daily Devotional Speaker: C. H. Spurgeon Broadcaster: Prince of Preachers Event: Audiobook Date: 9/8/2025 Bible: Hosea 14:8 Length: 3 min.

According to the Smith's Bible Dictionary, Habakkuk means (embrace). This book would be the eighth, in order, of the Minor Prophets. Of the facts of the prophet's life, we have no certain information.One important aspect of the ancient Old Testament order of the Hebrew Bible is that the 12 prophetic works of Hosea through Malachi, sometimes referred to as the Minor Prophets, were designed as a single book called The Twelve. Habakkuk is the eighth book of The Twelve.Habakkuk lived in the final decades of Judah, Israel's southern kingdom. It was a time of injustice and idolatry, and he saw the rising threat of the Babylonian empire on the horizon. Unlike the other Hebrew prophets, Habakkuk doesn't accuse Israel or even speak to the people on Yahweh's behalf. Instead, all of his words are addressed to Yahweh. The book of Habakkuk tells us about Habakkuk's personal struggle to believe that Yahweh is good when there is so much tragedy and evil in the world.Habakkuk sees the darkness of the world as an invitation to have faith in Yahweh's promise to one day set things right. Living with such faith means trusting that Yahweh loves this world and works to one day eliminate all evil forever.1.   Burden = Same as in Nahum 1:1. Did see! = The Hebrew pronunciation places the chief pause on this verb, to emphasize the fact that the giving of the vision was of more importance than what was revealed by it. A second and lesser pause is placed on "burden", leaving "Habakkuk" as being less important. The verse therefore should read, "The burden or doom which he saw, Habakkuk the prophet".2.  LORD = Hebrew. Yahweh cry = cry for help in distress; as in Psa. 18:6, 41; P22:24. Compare Job 19:7. Jerm. 20:8. Showing that the cry is not personal but made in the name of all who suffered from the evil times. cry out = cry with a loud voice, implying the complaint.3.  iniquity = Hebrew. 'aven.  = From an unused root perhaps meaning properly to pant (hence to exert oneself, usually in vain; to come to naught); strictly nothingness; also, trouble, vanity, wickedness; specifically, an idol:  trouble, having special reference to the nature and consequences of evildoing. grievance = oppression, or injustice. Hebrew. 'amal. toil, that is, wearing effort; hence worry, whether of body or mind: Why do You show me iniquity, and cause me to see trouble? = This was, and is, an excellent question. Why does Yahweh allow us to see iniquity and trouble, in ourselves or in others?4.  the law = the Torahslacked = ‘poog' to be sluggish judgment = justice. the wicked = a lawless one: looking forward from the Chaldeans to the future Antichrist. Hebrew. rasha'.  the righteous = the just one (Art. with Hebrew. 'eth). DON'T OVERLOOK THIS!!Eth = the Aleph and Tav of the Hebrew Alphabet.Iniquity…trouble.… plundering and violence…strife…contention.… the law is powerless…justice never goes forth…perverse judgment proceeds = Habakkuk saw trouble and sin everywhere, from personal relationships to the courts of law. This distressed him so much that he cried out to Yahweh and asked Yahweh why He didn't bring judgment and immediately correct things.5.   Behold = Look ye. This is said for emphasis, introducing the change to Yahweh's answer. This is quoted in Acts 13:41. Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions? Feel free to email me; keitner2024@outlook.com 

This message focused on the significance of biblical prophecy in revealing God's plan for the world, with special attention to Daniel, Ezekiel, and Israel's history. We explored how ancient kingdoms rose and fell through human ambition, yet God's purposes remain sovereign. The discussions highlighted Israel's promises, failures, and forsaken relationship with God, while contrasting the Church's position in Christ. Themes of idolatry, submission, and spiritual separation from the world were emphasized, along with the reminder that Christ's return will conclude the “times of the Gentiles.” The conversation underscored the need for faith, humility, and reliance on God's grace rather than human effort.Themes:Prophecy as God's revelation of His plan (Daniel, Ezekiel, Revelation)Earthly kingdoms built on ambition and chaos vs. God's sovereignty (Genesis 11; Assyria, Egypt, Babylon)Israel's promises vs. the Church's position in Christ (Hosea 1:9–11; Romans 7)Israel's forsaken relationship due to failure of leaders and peopleGod's patience, long-suffering, and call to repentanceDangers of idolatry and backsliding, importance of godly sorrow (Exodus; 1 John 2:15–17)The law exposing sin but not producing righteousnessSpiritual separation from the world and living in submission to GodGod's communication with individuals during times of darknessThe “times of the Gentiles” and Christ's imminent returnScripture References:Daniel; Ezekiel; Hosea 1:9–11; Genesis 11; Romans 7; Revelation; 1 John 2:15–17; Exodus

Darren Carlson | Hosea | September 7, 2025

Message from Elder Ronnie Loudermilk on September 7, 2025

Tim Sigman

No matter how far we’ve wandered, God’s heart is always calling us back. In Hosea 14, we see a gracious invitation to return to the Lord, a promise of His healing, and the hope of restoration. This message reminds us that true life and peace are found when we come home to Him.

How should we understand New Testament usage of Old Testament texts?What makes Hosea 13:14 so difficult to translate, and what are the implications of reading it one way or the other? In today's episode, Emma Dotter and Great Questions host, Alan Beam talk about Hosea 8-14 and answer these tough questions. Additional references: Genesis 19; Exodus 12; Judges 19; 2 Samuel 7; Matthew 2:15; 1 Corinthians 15Check out Great Questions if you have any questions about faith and theology. https://www.watermark.org/ministries/great-questionsYou can also check out the Join The Journey Jr. Podcast: Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/join-the-journey-junior/id1660089898Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6SG7aaE1ZjjFkgB34G8zp3?si=c960a63736904665Check out the Join The Journey Website for today's devotional and more resources!https://www.jointhejourney.com/Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Watermark-Community-Church/author/B0BRYP5MQK?ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1&qid=1755623322&sr=8-1&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=8aeeec3b-6c1c-416d-87ae-5dfbbb6981df

Joel reveals very little of his historical context within his short book, but the word of the LORD that he is given to preach is for people of all times and places. Joel proclaims that all people must pay attention, for the LORD's judgment has come through an insatiable swarm of locusts. The resulting famine has led to mourning and languishing, in which the only appropriate response is repentance. The swarm of locusts proclaims the coming day of the LORD, when He acts in judgment. To those who refuse repentance, such judgment is destruction, but to those who trust in the LORD alone, His judgment comes as justification through Jesus.  Rev.

Having preached the condemnation that Israel's idolatry deserved, Hosea once more calls the people to return to the LORD in honest confession. He gives them words to speak that both acknowledge the guilt and folly of their idolatry and look to the LORD's mercy with faith. The LORD is quick with His promise. He speaks words of healing and love, in which He will cause His people to flourish in safety once again. Unlike idols that only make demands, the LORD promises only His gifts. Hosea calls Israel to hear the LORD's word with the wisdom of faith, walking in the way that leads to life. Our Lord Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of this promise, for He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.    Rev.

Israel's glory days have long come to an end, for their idolatry has killed them. Even now, they only compound sin upon sin as they become as fleeting as the idols they worship. The LORD reminds them who He is and what He has done as their Savior, yet they forget Him in arrogance. Therefore, the LORD will show Himself to them in judgment, and no king will be able to save them. Only the LORD can rescue them from the death they have earned for themselves, yet they refuse to repent. The Apostle Paul is able to quote from this section of Hosea because in Jesus, God has defeated the death that we can never defeat.  Rev.

In this episode of the Parsha Review Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores Parshas Ki Seitzei, the sixth portion in the Book of Deuteronomy, read during the month of Elul, a time of introspection before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Rabbi Wolbe begins with Deuteronomy 21:10, which describes going out to war against enemies, interpreting the true battle as the internal struggle against the Yetzer Hara (evil inclination). He emphasizes that this parsha, always read in Elul, reflects the spiritual war against personal temptations, with Hashem promising victory to those who make the effort. Referencing Deuteronomy 28:47, Rabbi Wolbe notes that failing to serve Hashem with joy amidst abundance leads to spiritual downfall, a challenge as relevant today as in past generations. He contrasts two types of Teshuva (repentance): Teshuva me'yirah (out of fear), which turns sins into mistakes, and Teshuva me'ahavah (out of love), which transforms sins into mitzvot, as taught in the Talmud (Yoma 86). Quoting the Orchos Tzaddikim and Talmud Yoma, he shares a teaching about Moshe ascending the seven firmaments, where angels praise progressively greater divine gifts—culminating in Teshuva, which reaches God's throne of glory, as per Hosea 14:2. Rabbi Wolbe illustrates this with a story of an elderly man whose past sins, through Teshuva me'ahavah, became the source of his righteousness. He shares a personal anecdote about apologizing to another rabbi, turning a moment of friction into a strengthened friendship, showing how challenges can elevate relationships when approached with love. Rabbi Wolbe urges listeners to face their personal battles—whether work, health, loneliness, or parenting—with heartfelt teshuvah, drawing inspiration from children's pure prayers, and to trust in Hashem's promise of success. He concludes with a blessing for a Shabbos filled with spiritual victory and connection to Hashem._____________This episode (Ep 7.45) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Ki Seitzei is dedicated in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 2, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on September 3, 2025_____________Subscribe: Apple Podcasts (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/parsha-review-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1651930083)Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/22lv1kXJob5ZNLaAl6CHTQ) to stay inspired! Share your questions at awolbe@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Help us share Jewish wisdom globally by sponsoring an episode at torchweb.org.

In this episode and the next, we cover the places where the New Testament cites the Old Testament and there is a difference between the Septuagint (LXX) and the rabbinic text. In this first (of two) episodes, we cover citations from Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts; in the next episode, we will cover Romans through Revelation. By the sheer weight of the evidence, it will become undeniable that the New Testament authors were reading and citing the Septuagint — not some supposed ‘Hebrew' edition (that, in fact, no longer existed at the time of the composition of the New Testament). The Septuagint was the Bible of the Apostles; it was the Bible of the early Church; it was the Bible that God miraculously preserved — as He promised He would; and it should be our Bible today.

As the LORD brings His charge against Israel and Judah, He calls them to remember the story of their father, Jacob. Although Jacob was known as a cheater early in his life, the LORD still showed His faithfulness to Jacob. Because the LORD gave Jacob His blessing when Jacob strove with Him, Israel now should strive with God in repentance and faith, seeking His forgiveness even now. Yet rather than returning to the LORD as Jacob once had done, Israel only continues to live as the Canaanites in their iniquity and idolatry. Even though the LORD has spoken to His people by the prophets since Moses, they only continue to provoke Him to anger.  Rev.
