Also he made him a tunic of many colors. But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.Genesis 37:3-4Of all the many great men in scripture who typologically foreshadow the life of Christ, none are more amazing than Jacob's favorite son, Joseph. Joseph's journey presents us with an Old Testament picture of the New Testament life and ministry of our wonderful Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.“The fullest and most striking typical representation of Christ is Joseph, for between his history and that of Christ we may trace more than 100 points of analogy.”Arthur W. PinkWe hope you can be with us this weekend for Part One of our study of the life of one of the greatest Patriarchs of our faith...“Joseph”

All the Prophets and Patriarchs, saw, heard, believed, walked with, sacrificed to, and (and the case of Jacob) wrestled with Jesus Christ. For, no man has seen the Father: ““not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God;” John 6:46.  “No one has ever seen God; God the only Son, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.”  John 1:18, “No one has seen God at any time.” 1 John 4:12. Jesus Christ is God the Creator, existing before the world, from the days of eternity (Micah 5:2), of one being with the Father, the Father's exact image. When the Disciples asked Jesus Christ to show them the Father, Jesus Christ said, essentially — you are looking at Him now: “He who has seen Me has seen the Father,” and “I am in the Father and the Fathers in in Me.” John 14:9-11. The Patriarchs and Prophets were Christians. What difference does this make? All the difference in the world: It is Jesus Christ that provided the ram skins to cover Adam and Eve. It is Jesus Christ that introduced the hatred between the see of the Serpent (aka the Brood of Vipers) and Himself (the Seed of the Woman). It is Jesus Christ that told Noah to build the Ark. It is Jesus Christ that Abraham worshipped, saw, spoke with and fed. It is Jesus Christ that ordered the fire-bombing of Sodom. It is Jesus Christ that orders the sacrifice of Isaac. It is Jesus Christ the Jacob wrestled and then declared “I have seen the face of God and lived.” It is Jesus Christ that Moses Worshipped. It is Jesus Christ that is the Rock giving  Living Water. It is Jesus Christ who is the subject of the First Commandment. It is Jesus Christ that gave the Ten Commandments to Moses. It is Jesus Christ who “spoke to Moses face-to face as a man speaks with a friend.” Ex 33:11 and Exodus 3:16 It is Jesus Christ before whom Samuel hacked Agag into pieces. It is Jesus Christ that ordered the Tribe of Judah to attack Benjamin (Judes 19-20) It is Jesus Christ that is the God of Gideon, Joshua, David, and Samson. It is Jesus Christ who touched the mouth of Jeremiah (Jer 1:9). It is Jesus Christ that Isaiah saw (Is 6:1) It is Jesus Christ with whom Enoch walked. It was Jesus Christ that was the “vision of God” of Ezekiel (Ez 1:1) and the “likeness of the glory of the Lord” above the Firmament (Ez 1:11-28) It is Jesus Christ that appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty. Exodus 6:3 It is Jesus Christ who established the covenant with the Patriarchs (Ex 6:4) It is Jesus Christ who whom the Levite's were loyal — their first act was to strap on weapons and slaughter those in rebellions against Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ gave to the Law to Moses and it is Jesus Christ who warns us not to ignore His Law (Matthew 5:18-19). The Church has discarded the God of the Patriarchs and Prophets, which is Jesus Christ Himself. It has discarded the God of Enoch and Noah.  It has discarded the Law of Jesus Christ which are the Ten Commandments.  The Church is in trouble: ““These people come near to me with their mouth     and honor me with their lips,     but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me     is based on merely human rules they have been taught.”Isaiah 29:13 NIV   Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com 16 December 2025 A.D.

Moses is the original Christian nationalist.   Moses was called to set up an explicitly Christian nation/state. Moses went to Egypt in order to rescue his kin — his blood relatives (BLOOD)— from domination and slavery by a pagan society.   He led them to Canaan's land (the cursed son of Ham were the “original” settlers). They invaded that land, killed the Canaanites (specific ethnos that were not the ethnos of Israel/Jacob). The Law (FAITH) of that land was the Ten Commandments. They had a contiguous geographic area. They spoke the same language and shared the same ancestors, customs, morals, and history. Let no one deceive you, all the Patriarchs and Prophets were Christians — they saw, heard and worshipped Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ  was with the Father from the very beginning (and no man except Jesus Christ has seen the Father) Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com

What do do with the time left? Don't show up to the Judgement Day and have Him wonder why we were so fearful. The Sham of "democracy," and the strength of Christ our Monarch.

Vayishlach | Hegemonism or Conquest? by Rav Yitzchak Etshalom ולזרעך נתתי את הארץ - What was at the core of Yaakov's dispute with his sons after the massacre of Sh'khem?  Continuously throughout Sefer Bereishit, our Patriarchs are promised by Hashem that their descendants will be "given" the Land - but there is no indication of how that gift will be given, of how that "inheritance" will be achieved. We explore what may have been the perspective of our Avot in that regard - and how and why it changed by the time we arrived in Mitzrayim. Source sheet >>

11/30/2025 Our God does not demand sacrifice for appeasement; our God provides sacrifice for atonement. In Christ, God and Sacrifice become One. And that is a gift.

This week we're considering the Patriarchs, and God's promise to Abraham found in Genesis 12: 1-3.

Jesus Christ is the God of the Prophets and Patriarchs. There Church has abandoned over 80% of the Scriptures. Jesus Christ only quoted the "Old" Testament. This is the foundation of good theology including violence and nation building. Fritz Berggren www.bloodandfaith.com

Many accounts in the Old Testament state that God spoke to people.  Just how did that happen--a voice from heaven, through a theophany?  We consider details of some of those accounts, and what Scripture says about how God communicates to most people.

**Discussion begins at 7:10**The Life and Death Brigade on Gilmore Girls, Chuck Bass being kidnapped by a secret society during a college visit to Yale, Joshua Jackson and Paul Walker joining a dangerous secret society in the 2000 movie The Skulls... These are all pop culture references to one of the most famous secret societies on one of the most elite college campuses in the US.  This society, which selects 15 members annually from one of the most exclusive campuses in the world, was allegedly inspired by the Freemasons.  It is rumored that after graduation, members known as Bonesmen, are placed in high ranking positions in government, banking, law, education, and intelligence agencies to shape policy after graduation.  The 2,600 Patriarchs, or members who have since graduated, include 3 former presidents - President William Taft, George HW Bush, and George W Bush; leaders in business - like the founder of FedEx, founder of Time, Life, and Fortune Magazines, the CEO of Blackstone, and dynasties like the Rockefeller and Ford families; as well was leaders in finance, politicians on the state and federal level, high ranking government advisors, supreme court justices, University professors/presidents, journalists, athletes, and Hollywood stars. The 2004 presidential election actually pitted 2 Patriarchs – George W Bush and John Kerry, against each other, with both refusing to comment when asked about their membership.  What are the odds that the last 2 men standing in a battle for leadership of the US are both members of this secret society?  Is this secret society really a breeding ground for a powerful network of people that are secretly running the US?  Is it a branch of a larger network that with European ties manipulating us from the inside? Today we are going to learn about the secret society, and decide if it's just a club for high achieving college kids, or if there is something more sinister at play.Send us a textSupport the showTheme song by INDA

If you don't like the term "White and Christian Nations," then perhaps a better phrase is the return of Christian Civilization. Full steam ahead. No apologies. The pulpits are full of traitors, cowards and Judeo-Christians, not Christians. The Patriarchs and Prophets were all Christians -- they saw, heard, wrestled, walked with and dined with Jesus Christ. Ex 33:11 is a perfect example. Islam seeks a global Caliphate.  The Jews have already establish a Luciferian Theocracy.  The Church must rise to the challeng; accomodation is the road to extermination.

Dr. James Cassidy speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. The lecture, titled "The Seed of Abraham, Christ in the patriarchs and the promise" by Dr. James Cassidy, addresses the common theological perception that New Testament authors, particularly the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3, give a "surprise ending" to the Old Testament, seemingly reading it against its original intent. Dr. Cassidy argues against this view by showing that the Abrahamic Covenant is fundamentally a covenant of grace, centered on Christ as the singular "offspring" of promise. He explains that the promise is both individual (Christ himself) and collective (all those redeemed through him from every nation), a subtlety Paul rightly handles without misinterpreting Genesis. Crucially, the address highlights that the subsequent giving of the Mosaic Law 430 years later did not and could not annul the original promise of justification by faith, thereby maintaining the primacy and immutability of God's covenant of grace.

Parsha "Noach" (Genesis 6:9-11:32) is actually the second, and concluding part of the story of the "days of Noah," and is the reading that contains the most well-known (and also sometimes LEAST known!) elements of the story of The Flood. But there's more, too, because it also includes the "Tower of Babel," and the intro to the first of the Patriarchs. https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/SSM-10-24-25-Noach-teaching-podcast-xxx.mp3 Mark begins the Sabbath midrash with the observation that the 'days of Noah' spanned not only the time prior to the Flood when "the thoughts of men's hearts was only evil continually," but also many years thereafter, and certainly through the time of Nimrod, and up to the story of Babel. And that is particularly key when it comes to understanding the somewhat enigmatic story of His 'confounding the language' to deliberately ensure that mankind is NOT "one people," and NOT able to 'work together for the common good.' The fact that so much of today's 'One World' propaganda pushes exactly that goal should be concerning, at minimum, given that YHVH explained His concern by saying the reason for His actions was that once they learned to work together, and seemingly plot to thwart His potential plans, "THIS is what they begin to do." "Noach: Maybe 'coexist' is NOT the best motto - then or now" https://hebrewnationonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/WT-CooH-10-25-25-Noach-Am-Echad-And-THIS-is-What-they-Begin-to-DO-podcast-xxx.mp3 The combined two-part reading and Sabbath midrash:

SERMON PODCAST NOTESSeries: Welcome HomeWeek 4 Title: The Reckless Love of the FatherScripture: Luke 15:20–24Big Idea: The Father's love closes the distance, covers our shame, and restores our dignity.I. The Father Closes the DistanceThe father sees his son “while he was still a long way off” (v.20).Patriarchs didn't run—but this father did. He risked shame to protect and embrace his son.God runs toward our mess, not away from it. His love overrides pride.Application: Don't stiff-arm those coming home. Close the distance like God does.II. The Father Covers Our Shame (The Robe)The best robe = honor, identity, belonging.Covers the filth of the pig pen with dignity.Isaiah 61:10 — clothed with righteousness.Application: Stop arguing with grace. Let the Father clothe your shame.III. The Father Restores Our Dignity (The Ring & Sandals)Ring = family authority, adoption, restored position (Romans 8:15).Sandals = freedom; only sons wore them, not slaves.Application: You're not a guest in God's house. You are family. Walk in freedom and sonship.IV. The Father Celebrates Our Return (The Feast)Grace can't stay quiet—restoration demands celebration.The fattened calf = public joy, a party that brings the community in.Application: God doesn't just forgive privately—He restores and celebrates publicly.Final Challenge: If you've come home, it's time to go public—through baptism, through community, through celebration.
