July 13, 2026 - Vacation Bible School Day 2 - Monday PM Bible Class In this episode you'll join a live classroom-style session that explores predictive prophecy as evidence for the Bible's divine origin. Dale opens by describing how they were invited to teach and introduces the evening's themes—archaeology, scientific foreknowledge, cohesion and unity of Scripture, and above all predictive prophecy. The session is interactive: attendees ask questions, volunteers participate in demonstrations, and the presenter references specific biblical passages throughout. Topics covered include Messianic prophecies (Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, Micah 5:2, Zechariah 9:9, Psalm 16:10, Psalm 110, Genesis 49:10 and the protoevangelium in Genesis 3:15), national and historical prophecies (Daniel's four empires in Daniel 2 and 7, Ezekiel 26 on Tyre, Jeremiah 50–51 on Babylon), and the surprising mention of Cyrus by name in Isaiah. The presenter highlights how these prophecies span centuries, languages and cultures, yet converge into a cohesive narrative. The episode features concrete examples and historical verifications: Ezekiel's prediction of Tyre becoming a bare rock used by fishermen, Jeremiah's description of Babylon's fall and the Euphrates being diverted, Daniel's detailed visions of successive empires, and Isaiah's naming of Cyrus long before his rise. The class also discusses how critics have tried to re-date books like Daniel, and how secular records (like cuneiform inscriptions and the Cyrus Cylinder) corroborate key events. To illustrate how difficult it would be to fabricate such prophecies, the presenter conducts a live experiment with two volunteers inventing a hoax prophet named “Curtis,” comparing predictions and fulfillments with often comical mismatches (treadmills vs. sub sandwiches, Milwaukee vs. Canada). A second demonstration—the blue‑ringed octopus cup—drives home points about probability and plausibility. Dale cites statistical arguments (Peter Stoner's calculations) about the improbability of one person accidentally fulfilling multiple Messianic prophecies. Guests and participants include audience volunteers and an engaged crowd asking questions and sharing reactions. The tone is apologetic and inquisitive: the presenter encourages listeners to verify passages, consider historical evidence, and use select, verifiable prophecies in conversations about the reliability of Scripture. Key takeaways: prophecy provides a powerful, testable line of evidence for the Bible's claims; certain prophecies are strikingly specific and historically corroborated; the unity and predictive reach of Scripture (from Genesis through the prophets and Daniel) is presented as faith‑building; and the episode equips listeners with memorable examples and conversational points for discussing prophecy with skeptics.   Duration 40:59

In this sermon, we explore the practical side of faith: what it means to walk as Yeshua walked, keep Yahweh's commandments, live out Sabbath and the biblical holy days, and build strong families in a world that often pulls in the opposite direction. Drawing from 1 John 2, John 17, Ephesians 5, 1 Corinthians 7, Jeremiah 29, and 1 Peter 2, this message speaks to marriage, raising children in the faith, homeschooling and education choices, being in the world but not of the world, and committing fully to a biblical lifestyle. If you are part of the Torah-observant, Messianic, Hebrew Roots, or Sabbath-keeping community, this teaching offers encouragement to live faithfully, serve your family, and be a light in spiritual Babylon.walk as Yeshua walked, Yeshua HaMashiach, Torah observant, Hebrew Roots sermon, Messianic teaching, Sabbath keeping, biblical holy days, Yahweh, biblical lifestyle, raising children in the faith, faith and family, biblical marriage, Ephesians 5 marriage, 1 John 2 sermon, John 17 sermon, Jeremiah 29 sermon, 1 Peter 2 sermon, be in the world not of the world, spiritual Babylon, Sabbath sermon, Torah life, keeping commandments, biblical parenting, homeschooling Christian family, Messianic family, Hebrew Roots family, Torah family life, biblical truth, practical faith, Christian family values, Yeshua teaching

Absolute Divine Providence

Saints, Tu B'Av is one of those days on the Jewish traditional calendar that most of us in the Messianic and Hebrew Roots community have simply walked past without ever realizing it was there. And although it is not one of the mandated Feasts or Moedim of Yehovah, this 15th day of the 5th biblical month bears within it a beautiful redemptive pattern that speaks directly to the redeemed of the Most High. Coming just six days after Tisha B'Av, Tu B'Av reminds us that Yah has a way of turning the darkest seasons of judgment, exile, mourning, and loss into seasons of restoration, joy, and Kingdom expectation. In this teaching, we examine the historical and spiritual significance of Tu B'Av: the lifting of the wilderness death decree, the restoration of the tribe of Benjamin, the removal of barriers that prevented worship in Yerushalayim, and the touching image of the daughters of Jerusalem dancing in borrowed white garments. And beloved, when viewed through Messianic lenses, these elements point us right back to the work of Yehoshua Messiah: condemnation lifted, covenant restoration granted, access to worship restored, and the Bride clothed in righteousness that is not her own.  

Absolute Divine Providence

Have you ever read a passage of Scripture and felt completely lost? The idea that the Bible is written at a level an elementary-age child can comprehend may be true of its central message — that God loves us and has provided a way back to Himself through Jesus — but anyone who has worked through the book of Leviticus, wrestled with apocalyptic prophecy, or landed in an unfamiliar epistle knows that some passages require more than a quiet moment and good intentions. They require community. The story of Philip and the Ethiopian eunuch is not often cited as a key discipleship text, but it captures something essential about how God designed His Word to be understood. An Ethiopian official, returning from worship in Jerusalem, was reading Isaiah 53 aloud — a Messianic passage he genuinely could not interpret without help. Philip, prompted by the Spirit, approached him and asked if he understood what he was reading. The eunuch's response is honest and beautiful: how can I, unless someone explains it to me? That willingness to ask opened the door to a conversation that led to his salvation and baptism. Spiritual knowledge is transferable. God's Word is meant to be studied in community. And whether we are new to the faith and need someone to explain what we are reading, or we are seasoned believers with something to give, every one of us has a role to play in helping others understand the timeless truths of Scripture. Today's Bible Verse "How can I," he said, "unless someone explains to me?" So he invited Philip to come up and sit with him."— Acts 8:31, NIV Ponder Today There is no shame in asking for help understanding Scripture. The Ethiopian eunuch was a man of significant position and faith, and he openly admitted he needed someone to explain what he was reading. That honesty opened the door to life-changing truth. Spiritual knowledge is transferable — and sharing it is a privilege. God has gifted men and women throughout the body of Christ with the ability to rightly interpret and unpack Scripture. Believers with mature faith are called to invest that knowledge in others (Titus 2:3-4; Ephesians 4:12-13). God's Word is designed to be studied in community. Making disciples involves active, engaged Bible study together. Commentaries, sermons, conversations with other believers, and corporate worship are all legitimate and valuable tools for growing in understanding. Listen when the Holy Spirit prompts you to come alongside someone. Philip could have kept walking. Instead, he obeyed the Spirit's nudge, asked a simple question, and participated in one of the most significant evangelistic encounters recorded in Acts. God's Word never returns empty. Not every conversation will produce instant, visible results the way Philip's did. But Isaiah 55:11 assures us that what God's Word goes out to accomplish, it will accomplish — in His timing and according to His purpose. A Prayer for You Today Heavenly Father, I am so grateful for the gift of the body of believers. How wonderful to know that when I accepted Christ, I was adopted into a family of faith. Help me embrace the gifts of community Bible study, corporate worship, and personal Scripture reading. When I have questions or am wrestling with the text, I ask that the Holy Spirit guide and direct me to proper understanding and application. And when I see others who need support, may I come alongside them and impart biblical wisdom. Help us to humbly serve one another through teaching, discipleship, service, and love. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer stirred a desire to go deeper in God's Word alongside other believers, we'd love to stay connected.

The Pirates of our Times   Huge! This Changes Everything! Secrets Revealed! The Real Reason… ALL CAPS! What You're Not Supposed to Know About… Something That Shouldn't Exist… See Recipe in Comments Below[1]     Is this what it takes to get our attention now?   You would think so. When we search through YouTube looking for a favorite news outlet, we now slog through sensationalist titles and AI-generated title pages that entice us to view by showing extreme emotions: anger, fear, distress, shock.   Not comforting, is it?   It's a weekly challenge for me when I try to choose a graphic that authentically represents the content of the teaching. At some point I think we have to admit that no matter how intriguing the title or graphic, mostly the same people will read and the same people will delete. Probably at most, an especially intriguing title will cause a tiny percentage of people to open an email who normally delete it. We are becoming more wise…or perhaps fatigued…with sensationalist content.   The ability of AI[2] to offer us not just curated viewing, shopping, music, or social media posts, but to communicate with us like an actual person in Customer Service chats or Chat GPT, creates an illusion of an interested and caring person we know. How cool is it that YouTube lets me know when a new beading or archaeology video is released?   Honestly, though, it's digital machinery that has been fed immeasurable amounts of data. As I found out last week, it's also been fed pirated books (Creation Gospel workbooks!) and videos (Creation Gospel videos!). The AI in turn cheerfully offers the information free to seekers.   There was a foreshadowing of this back in 2003 when we first went online with www.israelnet.tv, offering teaching programs from some of the best-known Messianic teachers of the day. Our tech guy contacted us and said he was watching someone download multiple programs simultaneously in real time. This was in spite of clear copyright cautions. We only had permission from the teachers to stream to our audience, not to re-distribute the programs for personal use.   With a little bit of investigative work, we tracked down the email address of the pirate. My burning question was, what kind of person steals Bible teaching? There's much more lucrative content out there. Bible teaching? Really?   I sent the faceless Torah pirate an email, and kindly but firmly explained that we knew he was downloading copyrighted programs. I also explained that we did not have permission to distribute the material randomly; we were only licensed for the specific use on Israelnet.   Instead of an apology, the pirate went into the old trope: The Bible doesn't belong to anyone. It's free. Bible teaching should be free.   Pretext.   Aaargh, matey!   Sure the Bible is free. They're in the top drawer of any hotel nightstand. An institution known as the Gideons gives away free Bibles. Most people have an extra copy they'd be happy to give away. But there was a reason Yeshua chose one of the disciples to carry the donation money bag.   Even though Yeshua was quite handy with multiplying loaves and fishes, they had to eat.   Relying on miracles instead of working is not the Scriptural example. Miracles are for when we reach the limit of human skill, access, or knowledge.   In my reply to the gentleman pirate, I agreed that the Bible is free. In fact, our Creation Gospel programs and workbook royalties are designated to support Torah-based orphanages, not pay salaries. My husband and I had full time jobs, so we didn't rely on donations to pay the grocery bill or car payment. We donated our time and money. Other teachers, however, were full time ministers. They needed the income to support their ministries and families.   Not being as handy with loaves and fishes as Yeshua, they had to eat.   At the least, if this gentleman wanted to re-distribute the teachers' programs, then he should obtain permission like Israelnet did. He should explain why the costs the teachers incurred, such as travel, studio, equipment, utility bills, (our streaming T-1 line back then was $1000 per month!), software, etc., was okay for him to remove from their pockets because he knew better than they did to whom their teaching and production work should be disseminated.   So in our times, AI developers are free to redistribute all the intellectual property it can consume, even apologizing for not listing everything due to “copyright rules.” It's like nodding and saying “no” at the same time.   It's not something we'll change, however. In fact, it's so incorporated into our daily activities that it's probably impossible to disconnect unless we go off-grid. We're being sluiced down that funnel faster and faster. The current Western trend toward socialism and communism is a symptom. The pirate's reasoning that all Biblical content should be free is rapidly expanding. We feel entitled to confiscate anyone else's hard work because it's the “moral” thing to do. Share. Lift up the downtrodden. Love your neighbor.   Sometimes we feign asking permission by passing onerous laws to tax and take property. Others simply take without permission and know that the wealth from it will more than equip them to face their accusers in court by the time it makes it that far. The ultimate settlement is calculated as the cost of doing pirated business. The Author's Guild reports that the median annual income from book sales is just $15,000 for full-time authors. We're not all John Grisham. The authors are never going to recover the income they've lost to pirates and AI even when the case makes it to court.   Yes, I agree. Love your neighbor as yourself.   But what about “Thou shalt not steal”? That's in the Bible, too.   Pretext.   Yes, that's what the Torah calls it.   A pretext is when we make up a reason to conceal the actual reason we do or don't do something. Pretext tends to spread like wildfire. We'd all like to avoid confronting our own fears, failures, laziness, aggressiveness, greed, or apathy if someone can come up with a pretext that sounds way better than “my fear,” “my laziness,” “my aggressiveness,” or “my greed.”   Numbers 11:1-6 is an example of a pretext:   “Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp… The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, “Who will give us meat to eat? We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic, but now our appetite is gone. There is nothing at all to look at except this manna.”   The fire started with a taste for free meat and fish. This was the pretext. They even invented facts to go with the pretext: we ate free fish in Egypt; we have no appetite.   The opposite was true. The fish wasn't free in Egypt. Even the straw for the bricks they had to find for themselves. They did, too, have an appetite. The ignoramuses even listed all the things they were craving.   The manna, the Word of Heaven was not tasty enough for their uncontrolled, greedy appetites.   It helps to know what preceded the complaining. For the first time, the organized camp moved with the Tabernacle, following the Ark of the Covenant and expected to give feet to the commandments they'd learned:   “So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses.” (Nu 10:13)   The Israelites had entered a new stage of responsibility in their walk to the Promised Land. No longer newly-saved milk-dependent babes in the wilderness, they had multiple commandments in which to walk. They were now organized by camp, directed by leadership. There was no map to their journey, only the Ark that traveled ahead looking for the place for them to rest.   When we don't know exactly what lies ahead, we often look back. What we see when we look back takes on a glory and sheen that it never had when we were living it. Truth be told, we were miserable. But those reconstructed memories and invented facts make great pretexts.   Our present challenge is more than just leaking away of intellectual property or orphanage funds through pretexts or outright theft. Like I said, we won't stop this flood until Yeshua returns. There's no way to separate out an answer on a search engine that was stolen versus one that was taken from an open source. Our present challenge is more than just clickbaiting viewers or listeners to read, watch, or listen to a program when they have thousands of choices each day.   Let's put the two together.   We are in a transition period. We hear the footsteps of Messiah. We also know that the period just preceding his return is one of chaos, turmoil, war, weather phenomena, family conflict, rebellion, and mass confusion.   In the middle of this, a remnant is called out of that darkness in the “wilderness of the peoples.” What we feel as tribulation is really just a test. Tribulation is for the unrepentant. Yet, we, too, become scared, nervous, anxious, and angry. We're not sure we know how to follow the Ark. Organization? The Beast uses those! Help!   Yes, the Beast is full of cravings and greedy desires. He does use organizations to clickbait and entice us, to offer us any pretext for complaining about the journey. To overwhelm us with “free” choices: Cucumbers? Fish? Melons? Garlic? Onions? Pick me! Pick me! I love free!   All our choices do cost something no matter the pretext or the truth of the Word. The only free thing is our salvation. After that is a wilderness journey of learning, and each lesson costs us some effort. And unlike the wilderness of the first Exodus, this Greater Exodus doesn't come with a visible Moses or a leadership appointed by him. This is a bit scarier because it's more than a bit greater than the first one! (Je 16:14-15; 23:7-8; Is 43:16-19)   You know what? I used AI to look up those verses faster than I could on Logos. I don't think AI is the Beast. It's a tool, but we need to know how to and how not to use it, just like we need to know how to use and not use the organizations to which we belong or which we use. We don't put faith in government, medicine, recreation, education, or any other system. We use them, but they will ultimately fail…repeatedly. They are tools, but they are not the Kingdom. We must recognize where they fail and use them wisely where they are honest and successful.   While the wicked and lukewarm world with no clear direction enters this stage of confusion that precedes the Kingdom, knowing only an indiscriminate throwing off of every yoke, we are to walk with clarity. Training in the Word equips us, calms us, balances us.   This is why I know that trying to find the most enticing graphic or clickbait title is not going to get lots more people to open a newsletter. In fact, statistics tell me that fewer than 50% even open the weekly email.   People are weary and wary. When they do open those links that imply they HOLD THE NEXT GREATEST SECRET CONSPIRACY, they already anticipate that it will under-deliver.  They know we're overrun with the pirates of our time. It's kind of like those sea monkeys I ordered from the back of a comic book when I was seven years old. I still have no idea what that cloudy mess was, but the ads made me think something alive, mysterious, and fascinating could be had for the cost of postage and few bucks.   And I get it.   I, too, have to search for ways to promote books like Scorpions Ascent or a conference, to politely ask the readers or viewers for a minute or two to consider whether the book or event is a good fit for them. I don't want to be a time pirate, yet on the other hand, if we don't do something to attract the eye, the message is shouted down by edgier content producers. At what point do we become a time pirate? These are wilderness dilemmas, but Yeshua goes ahead of us so we won't get lost.   My prayer is that we are quietly growing a trained remnant that doesn't need superlatives, all caps, world-shaking prophecy insights, and carnival ride doctrines. They are faithfully collecting tasty manna in the Torah portions each week. They don't need pretexts to justify their lust for the doctrinal carnival rides because they are not afraid of walking in the chaos Scripture warned us would accompany the period before Yeshua's return.   AI can only appear to know you by your first name. It cannot know you at all. It is data programmed to identify your habits captured either legally or illegally by analyzing your keystrokes, questions, searches, and preferences. The upside is a quick search for a simple, non-life-changing question. The downside is that from now until Yeshua comes, we will not likely know for sure what images or voices are real. Oh yeah, that's in the Bible, too.   A minister of pretext doesn't really know you, either. He or she knows human fears, greed, cravings, laziness…even the good desire to do righteous things for your neighbor. The minister of pretext's bait draws out the “rabble,” sharing confusion and darkness because they feed one another half-truths that become whole lies. In the end, it consumes them together. It doesn't bear the fruit of righteous things. He's a pirate who baits our scroll…em…scrolling time.   As we navigate this greater exodus, let us deliver what the apostles of Yeshua delivered and what Moses and the leaders in the wilderness delivered. Truth. Truth still matters.   A human being doing the honest work of the Kingdom can hold truth and the good of others at the same time. It can give without stealing. Truth can be firmly upheld without being unkind. It can make manna tastier than anything from The French Laundry.   That is something the world desperately needs right now. Real human beings unafraid of the giants, robots, and raging, confused nutters. Strong, yet gentle messengers of Yeshua aren't driven by their own fears, but by the good news promises of the gospel. They may not remember where you shopped online six months ago or that you like loom beading videos, but they know you are the Father’s treasured possession. This kind of knowing becomes a comfort to others:   For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit; but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts. For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness—nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority. But we proved to be gentle among you, as a nursing mother tenderly cares for her own children. Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us. (1 Th 2:3-8)   Isn't this a great passage Paul wrote to comfort the Thessalonians? These are words of relationship, not something Paul asked AI to write for him. Even back then, the recipient of a letter could sniff out a genuine letter from AI. A pastor who loves the flock is a gift from above AI will never duplicate.   This Shabbat is “Shabbat Nachamu,” the Shabbat of Comfort that follows the fast of Tisha B'Av. The readings for the weeks following are also comforts that the destructions will someday come to an end, and the hard work of walking through the chaos and confusion of the wilderness will come to an end.   The great thing about the Ark seeking out a resting place for the Israelites three days' journey ahead of them in the wilderness? It is said that its cloud lifted up the low places, leveled the high places, and killed the scorpions and snakes in their path. It shaded them from the heat or cold. The journey was nothing to be afraid of, nothing  for which they needed to collect pretexts beforehand for failures. They were being afforded the comforts they would need even through the challenges of the journey.   It was those on the fringes the cloud had expelled for complaining who were consumed by the fire. It's way bumpier and hotter out there where the cover of the clouds of glory is thin. The Presence of the Father can also sniff out a reluctant traveler on this journey. Leave the pretexts out there in the fire with the pirates, and report to your place in the cloud.   Complaining is the opposite of comforting. Complaining is the opposite of comforting. Complaining is the opposite of comforting.   “'Comfort, O comfort My people,' says your God. ‘Speak kindly to Jerusalem; and call out to her, that her warfare has ended, that her iniquity has been removed, that she has received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins.'A voice is calling, ‘Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up and every mountain and hill be made low; and let the rough ground become a plain, and the rugged terrain a broad valley; then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, and all flesh will see it together;' for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” (Is 40:1-5)     [1] The recipe in Comments will be a link that ka-chings the content provider's account and takes you to a “recipe page” that buries the recipe within dozens of ads.

It was the site of a major battle in the Book of Joshua. At first, the Israelites were defeated because a warrior named Achan (“troubling, troubler”) took treasure and hid it. After Achan was put to death, Joshua led a successful military ambush to capture and destroy the city. Pirates of Ai are in a heap of trouble.

Pastor Ron Brav The Jew, The Church and The Messianic Believer Selected Scriptures by Upcountry Calvary

Old Testament Ezra 1; 3-7; Nehemiah 2; 4-6; 8 | The Apostle D. Todd Harrison In this sacred message, The Apostle D. Todd Harrison unlocks the divine pattern of restoration, governance, spiritual warfare, and covenant identity found in Ezra 1; 3–7 and Nehemiah 2; 4–6; 8 — chapters that reveal how God rebuilds His people, His house, and His purpose in every generation.The Apostle D. Todd Harrison speaks from a rare and extraordinary lineage:Through two distinct genealogical lines, he is a direct descendant of King Cyrus the Great — the only person besides Jesus Christ whom God Himself calls “My Messiah” (Isaiah 45). Cyrus was the world leader chosen by God to release the Jews from Babylonian captivity and empower them to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.He is also a direct descendant of Zerubbabel, the Davidic governor who oversaw the physical rebuilding of the Temple and restored the worship of the True God in Jerusalem.This dual lineage — Cyrus the liberator and Zerubbabel the builder — gives The Apostle D. Todd Harrison a uniquely authoritative voice when teaching on restoration, rebuilding, and divine governance."I testify that Jesus Christ is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer. He is ALIVE TODAY!In the name of Jesus Crist, amen.The Apostle D. Todd HarrisonDirect Apostle of Jesus ChristCalled directly by the Lord Himself—just as Paul was on the Damascus Road (Galatians 1:1; Acts 26:13–20)“Not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.” — Galatians 1:1Set apart by the Lord according to the ancient pattern Now in the Seventh Year of Global Apostolic Ministry to All NationsDescendant of the 6th‑Generation LDS General Authority Richards FamilyDescendant of the covenant royal lineage of David and Solomon, and all their descended biblical kings appointed by God and recorded throughout the Old Testament, whose line carried the Messianic promise

Beloved, in this second installment of our brief Tisha B'Av series, we turn our attention to what should and should not matter to the modern-day Messianic, Hebrew, Netsari disciple of Yehoshua HaMashiyach. Tisha B'Av is not one of the mandated Feasts of Yehovah. We are not commanded to keep it. But that does not mean the day is spiritually irrelevant. If our Master wept over Yerushalayim and the coming destruction of the Temple, then we who belong to Him should at least understand the grief, history, prophetic weight, and covenant lessons attached to this solemn memorial day.

Messianic Apologetics editor John McKee surveys the Book of Isaiah from a Messianic perspective.

Would you drive 2.5 hours to gather with God's people?. We often don't realize how much we think about just ourselves, instead of the biblical thinking of a collective group. The Bible calls it a "people of God". Psalm 45 exposes the Messianic reality that Christ is the groom and we are the bride. And the goal is not just two people in a relationship. It's generations and nations declaring His name forever. In Episode 28, Pastor Tim and guest Pastor James Lynch from Freedom Village Church in Soul, South Korea, dig into a deeply symbolic Psalm. The King and His Queen become Christ & His Church The Hebrew thinking of us verses the American thinking of me. When 6" inches of frustration can stop you from celebrating all God is doing. It all comes down to one question: are you desired by the King?

Basics of Bitachon

Basics of Bitachon

It seems to me as though many Messianic Bible teachers rely on sensationalism. Can you explain why this might be the case?

Episode Description Welcome to this week's broadcast of For Zion’s Sake with your hosts, Shelley and June. Looking at a world facing one crisis after another, it becomes clearer every day that our true strength doesn't come from our own human abilities. Instead, it comes when we align ourselves intimately with the Holy One of Israel. In this episode, Shelley and June—both Jewish believers—explore a powerful theme throughout Scripture: the shift from being at a distance from God to being truly in Him. In the Old Covenant, most people stood trembling at a distance while only chosen prophets and leaders approached the heavy cloud of His presence. But everything changed with the resurrection of Yeshua (Jesus). Discover how the ultimate promise of Immanuel—God with us—is an invitation into deep, unshakeable intimacy that transforms our daily lives, shifts our countenances, and replaces fear with His perfect shalom. Scripture Referenced in This Episode The People Stand at a Distance: Exodus 20:18–21 – Seeing how the nation of Israel trembled at the thunder, lightning, and trumpet sound on Mount Sinai, choosing to stay far back while Moses approached the thick cloud. A Promise of Presence: Exodus 3:12 – God reassures Moses during his calling with the ultimate foundational promise: "Certainly I will be with you." Be Strong and Courageous: Joshua 1:9 – The charge to Joshua reminding him not to be afraid or dismayed, because the Lord is with him wherever he goes. The Prophecy of Immanuel: Isaiah 7:14 – The vital Messianic sign declaring that a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, calling His name Immanuel, which translates to "God with us." The Word Made Flesh: John 1:1 – Confirming the divine reality that in the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Appointed to Be With Him: Mark 3:14 – Looking at how Jesus specifically established the twelve disciples for one primary baseline purpose: simply to be with Him. Evident Habits of Grace: Acts 4:13 – How the Jewish rulers and scribes marveled at the boldness of Peter and John, recognizing that even though they were uneducated, ordinary men, they had clearly "been with Jesus." The Great Invitation: James 4:8 – Standing on the New Covenant guarantee that if we draw near to God, He will dynamically draw near to us. A Prayer from the Broadcast: Father, we pray for those who feel at a distance from You today. Draw them near. Let your presence be so real in the lives of believers that it reflects clearly in their very countenance. And for those who don't know You yet, reveal Yeshua as the Messiah, fill their souls with Your shalom, and answer their cry. In Jesus' holy name, Amen.

In this installment of The Messianic Torah Observer, I pick up from Parashat Massei (this past Sabbath's reading) and invite you slow down and take another look at Numbers/Bemidbar 33. What first appears to be a simple travel log of our 42 wilderness encampments is, in fact, a powerful witness that Abba Yah records every stop in our covenant journey. From Rameses of Mitsrayim to the plains of Moab, Yah had Moshe write down the goings out of His people by His command. And if Yah recorded every encampment of our wilderness sojourning, then we should take comfort in knowing that He also records the stops, struggles, failures, waiting seasons, and forward movements of our Faith walk today. This teaching also draws out a stunning Messianic connection between the 42 wilderness stations of Numbers 33 and the 42 generations in Matthew 1, showing how Yehoshua HaMashiyach is not only the destination of our journey, but the One who walks with us through every encampment on our way to the Kingdom of the Heavens.

A Sunday morning sermon by Pastor Brett Deal. Have you ever noticed how often Jesus was interrupted? It's kind of amazing how often people seemingly derailed what Jesus was doing so that He might see their situation. You've got to be pretty audacious (or desperate) to interrupt a respected rabbi while He's teaching!While Jesus was addressing John the Baptist's disciples, explaining why His ministry was blowing up their paradigms—they were trying to put His new Messianic wine into their old culturally acceptable wineskins—Jesus was interrupted. While Jesus was talking, Jairus knelt before Jesus, desperate for Jesus to raise His daughter back to life (Matthew 9.18). Jesus dropped everything and went with Him. He wasn't angry. He didn't make Him wait. Jesus heard his interruption and went with him. But no sooner did Jesus turn the corner when He felt a tug on His tunic. A woman with a persistent hemorrhage, which had plagued her for twelve years, was desperate too. She crouched through the crowd believing if she simply touched the hem of His garment she would be healed (an interruption inside an interruption!). We might be tempted, if we were Jairus, to tell her to get in line, take a number, and wait her turn. Our situation is time sensitive. But the truth is, Jesus is able to address all our needs. He can speak resurrection and restoration into all our lives (28.18). Reading these miracles again, as if for the first time, we see a Savior willing to be interrupted because He cares. His love for us is so great He goes with us. Even if all He needed to do was speak a word, He still walks with us to bring resurrection into our world. He still draws close enough to us where we can reach out and touch Him.Beloved, Jesus understands our needs and is willing to be interrupted and walk with us, to care for us, to turn to us and speak encouragement into our lives. Yes, Jesus is fully God, so He's able to meet our need. In the Gospel, we also see He is fully human, like us “in every respect, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest” (Hebrews 2.17). Friend, don't be shy today. Jesus is waiting to be interrupted.

John McKee discusses the development of the production of the commentary Survey of the Holy Scriptures for the Practical Messianic, originally in the two volumes of Survey of the Tanach (2007) and Survey of the Apostolic Scriptures (2006), later combined in 2024.

In this installment of The Messianic Torah Observer, we unpack Parashat Mattot–Massei through the lens of covenant responsibility, spiritual warfare, Israel's prophetic standing, and the narrow places facing Yah's people today. We explore the weight of vows, the war with Midian, the 42 wilderness journeys, the covenant boundaries of the Land, and the sobering realities surrounding Israel, Iran, Judea and Samaria, Hezbollah, and shifting international support. I also address key Messianic and Hebrew Roots community concerns, including the danger of elevating Torah above Messiah and the need for unity without doctrinal drift. As Bein HaMetzarim unfolds, I call upon Yah's chosen and elect to guard their words, their hearts, their unity, and their covenant walk with clarity, courage, and conviction.

Click here for more on this topic and other free resources - https://www.drjimrichards.com We're beginning the replay of one of the most important teaching series I've ever shared: 3 Days That Changed the World. Over the years, I've heard from so many people whose lives were transformed by these messages. If you've seen this series before, I encourage you to watch it again. If this is your first time, you're about to discover why it has become one of the most requested teachings we've ever produced. Most believers know what Jesus accomplished on the cross, but very few understand what happened from the cross to the throne. Yet that's exactly where the Bible tells us to anchor our faith. If you've ever wondered why God's promises seem difficult to experience, or why your faith sometimes feels like it's falling short, I want to challenge you to take this journey with me. You may discover that your faith isn't failing at all. You may simply be missing one of the most foundational truths in all of Scripture. In this first message, we'll begin exploring what happened during the three days between the cross and the resurrection, why those events are central to the gospel, and how understanding them can change the way you read the Bible and the way you walk with God. I believe this series has the potential to strengthen your faith, answer questions you've carried for years, and help you experience the confidence that comes from understanding the finished work of Jesus.

The Precious Gem

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, we continue our tour through the Psalms, stopping to notice the themes, connections, and biblical images that prepare us for deeper study later. Rather than diving into every detail, we're acting as tour guides, pointing out the landmarks that help us understand the bigger picture of the Psalms.We begin with Psalms 42 and 43, where the psalmist longs for the living God in a world filled with lifeless gods. As the psalmist wrestles with discouragement, he repeatedly finds hope in God's chesed—His steadfast, covenant love. We also discover why being in God's presence, at His house, was the source of true joy and delight for Israel.Moving through Psalms 44–50, we see a recurring message emerge: the God of Israel is the true King over every nation. Though Israel was a small nation surrounded by powerful empires, these psalms remind God's people that their King reigns above every earthly ruler and every false god. Along the way, we explore the Messianic hope found in Psalm 45, the comforting promises of Psalm 46, and the majestic descriptions of God's power and kingship that fill Psalms 47–49.Finally, Psalm 50 reminds us that God never desired sacrifices for their own sake. Sacrifices were never meant to "fix" sin; they were God's gracious means of restoring relationship with Him. That truth prepares us beautifully for Psalm 51, where we see that genuine repentance and God's mercy bring the forgiveness that every sinner needs.Throughout these psalms, one message rises above the rest: our God is the living King. He reigns over every nation, remains faithful through His steadfast love, and continually invites His people into His presence.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
