Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #292 Web Description: With AI there will be new levels of deception and persecution directed against the people of God. That is why we as Christians need to grow into new levels of maturity, wisdom, and understanding by the Holy Spirit. We must have the mind of Christ that does not judge by what our eyes see and our ears hear in the natural realm. Instead, we are to see and hear in the spirit realm what Christ is disclosing to us from the Father. Show Notes: Artificial Intelligence (AI), like any other technology, is controlled by humans, meaning it has the potential to be used for good and the same potential to be used for evil. AI is already being helpful in many areas. But its greatest negative impact will come from its ability to affect our perception in ways that were never possible before. It will be increasingly difficult to know if what we are watching is real or not. Using AI, individuals can be made to appear to be doing things and say things they would never do or say in real life. This would be a powerful means of persecution against Christians if they are realistically portrayed as saying things they never said. So the power of AI to distort our perception is very real. And we are faced with the fact that our natural senses will not give us the true understanding of what is happening in the world. We need to reach into a spiritual maturity that allows us to judge, make decisions, and understand things from a different perspective. Yeshua (Jesus) did not judge by what His eyes saw or His ears heard. Now more than ever we need to grow up in Christ and have those same attributes. We can no longer afford to be children who are carried away by the trickery of men in craftiness and deceitful scheming. There must be a maturing of the Body of Christ until believers begin to know and understand and see by the Spirit of God. We cannot passively walk with God today. We need to leave our infancy and partake of the solid food of the Word that will mature us into what God wants us to be to this generation. Key Verses: • Isaiah 11:1–3. "He will not judge by what His eyes see." • Malachi 3:14–18. "You will again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked." • Isaiah 5:20. "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil." • 1 Corinthians 2:14–16. "A natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God." • John 5:19. "Whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner." • John 8:26. "The things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world." • Hebrews 5:12–14. "Solid food is for the mature, who … have their senses trained to discern good and evil." • John 8:31–32. "If you continue in My word, then … you will know the truth." • John 16:12–15. "When He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth." • John 14:16–21. "In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you." • Ephesians 4:10–14. "We are no longer to be children … carried about by … the trickery of men." • Ephesians 4:17–25. "No longer just as the Gentiles also walk … being darkened in their understanding." Quotes: • "It's time for us as believers to know how to walk in the Spirit, be taught by the Spirit, and receive the impartation of the mind of Christ from the Spirit so that we might be those who do His will and are free from the lies and deception of this age." • "There must be the solid food that begins to be given to the Body of Christ to mature them. And through the practice of their walk in the Spirit, they're going to be trained again to discern good and evil." • "People are realizing they must take a stand. They must stand up. They must speak up. And that is important for us to do. When God sees this move of His people, it says that He is going to spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." Takeaways: 1. AI is a technology that has great power to deceive. That is why we need the maturity that is not moved by the craftiness and deceitful scheming of men. 2. Satan's great determination is to bring all humanity into deception and drive them away from God. And so we need to reach into the Holy Spirit for a greater impartation of the mind of Christ. 3. Let us stand up and speak the truth in love, trusting in the covering, protection, and salvation promised for those who fear the Lord in this day.

Ashes that heal: What the red heifer teaches about sin, death and hope (Numbers 19; Hebrews 9)

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.

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #291 Title: Preparation for Purim Web Description: As Christians we need to see the significance of Purim for us. Satan is working as much or more today to thwart God's plan as he did when Esther and Mordecai faced the annihilation of their people. The purification and preparation they went through, which reversed the edict of destruction and made them the ones who brought victory, are exactly what we require. Show Notes: Why should Christians celebrate Purim? What does it have to do with us? It has everything to do with us. If Haman's plot to kill all Jews in the Persian Empire had happened, the line of Christ would have been destroyed. Yeshua (Jesus) would not have been born in Judea; there would be no Christianity and no return of Christ to reign as King in the earth. So Purim is very relevant to us, as are its lessons for us today. Before becoming queen, Esther had to undergo twelve months of purification. And there needs to be a cleansing and a purity on us that enables us to come boldly before the throne of grace and stand in the presence of God. As queen, Esther knew she could die if she came into the king's presence without his invitation. And if we want God to move today, then we must humble ourselves, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways as we read in 2 Chronicles 7. At this time of Purim, we see satan working to annihilate the Jews and Israel just as he did in Esther's day. What is happening in the Middle East right now absolutely impacts the plan of God, the Kingdom of God, and all that we stand for as believers. Purim celebrates the fact that Mordecai and Esther had the king's signet ring and carried out his decree. And if we are to carry out the will of God in the earth, then we must be the purified vessels who can wield His signet ring in righteousness, justice, and honor. Let us prepare our hearts to come before the King today. Key Verses: • Esther 3:8–11. "If it is pleasing to the king, let it be decreed that they be destroyed." • 2 Chronicles 7:12–16. "[If] My people … turn from their wicked ways, then I will … forgive their sin." • Acts 1:9–12. "Jesus … will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven." • Esther 2:12. "Twelve months under the regulations for the women—for the days of their beautification were completed." • Esther 4:11. "I have not been summoned to come to the king." • Hebrews 4:16. "Draw near with confidence to the throne of grace." • Esther 5:2–3. "The king said to her, 'What is troubling you, Queen Esther?'" • Esther 7:10. "They hanged Haman on the gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai." • Esther 8:8–11. "The king granted the Jews … the right to assemble and to defend their lives." Quotes: • "The ultimate victory that came was not because of what the king did. It's because of what Mordecai and Esther and the people did in rising up to save their own lives." • "If we're going to celebrate Purim, one of the things we must have is this purification drive and preparation drive in our hearts because it's about us." • "What He's looking for is that His anointing would rest upon the Body of Christ to move in the earth today, to see the kingdom come and be established, and the things that need to be dealt with, dealt with in all righteousness and justice." Takeaways: 1. Purim shows us satan's persistent attempts to destroy the Jewish people both to prevent the birth of the Messiah in the past and to hinder His Kingdom today. 2. Purim shows us our need for purification and preparation to come into the presence of God. 3. Purim shows us our need for humility and repentance to be God's prepared instruments that will execute His will with righteousness and justice.

Golden calf vs. living God: Choosing who dwells in your heart (Exodus 31-32; Deuteronomy 9; 1John 2)

7 key takeaways from this study God is the ultimate Artist, and He values human creativity. The craftsmen in Exodus 31 (Bezalel, Oholiab, etc.) show that artistic gifts are God-given and meant to be used in His service, not just for personal enjoyment. The primary purpose of the tabernacle is God's presence, not sin management. All the furniture (altar, incense, menorah, table, priestly garments) supports one central truth: “Let them make Me a sanctuary, that I may dwell among them.” Sin offerings are secondary to the main goal—God living in the midst of His people. Whatever is at the center of your life becomes your “tabernacle” or your idol. In the camp diagram, God is meant to be in the center. The golden calf is a picture of the people evicting God from the center and inserting something else—any substitute (self, family, money, ideology, even “good” things) becomes an idol when it takes God's place. Idolatry is often made from good things misused, not evil materials. Gold, art, rainbows, human value — none are evil in themselves. Sin enters when we take something God made good and elevate it to ultimate, making it the object of our trust, identity, or worship. Mediation and mercy only matter if there is real repentance and change. Moses acts as a mediator, pleading with God not to destroy Israel. His intercession is meaningful only if the people turn from the calf and back to God. In the same way, Jesus' mediation is not a license to continue in sin, but a path back to obedience. The commandments “hang together”—break one, and you shatter the whole relationship. The visual of the 10 Commandments as hooks on a beam shows that all the laws “hang” from that covenant. When Moses breaks the tablets, it symbolizes that Israel has broken the whole covenant, not just one small rule. We are both the place where God dwells and the foundation of that dwelling. The half-shekels melted into bases for the tabernacle posts show that the people themselves form the foundation of God's dwelling. New Testament images (living stones, our bodies as a temple) carry this forward: God wants to dwell in us and among us, and our obedience, repentance, and faith make us a fit “home” for His presence. A simple but powerful observation from Exodus 31 is God Himself appoints specific people — like Bezalel and Oholiab — to craft the furnishings of the מִשְׁכָּן Mishkan (“dwelling place,” i.e., the Tabernacle; Exodus 31:1–6). Artistic skill is not a side issue; it is a spiritual calling. Human creativity reflects the nature of God as the ultimate Artist. He designs the heavens, the earth, and the intricacies of the human body (Genesis 1; Psalm 19:1–4). He is not just an Engineer or Scientist but an Artist whose work shows intention, beauty, and order. Just as artists often create out of joy and inner drive, God places in human beings a similar desire to create, design, and beautify. The תּוֹרָה Torah (“instruction”) acknowledges that artists frequently experience their work as delight rather than drudgery. A sculptor, musician, or fabric artisan often does not say, “I'm going to work,” but, “I get to create.” Yet even this holy enjoyment must submit to God's rhythms — especially שַׁבָּת Shabbat (“Sabbath”). God reminds the artists through Moses that even work “for God” has limits (Exodus 31:12–17). The same God who gifted their creativity also commands rest, because He Himself rested on the seventh day (Genesis 2:2–3). “So the sons of Israel shall observe the sabbath, to celebrate the sabbath throughout their generations as a perpetual covenant.” Exodus 31:16 NASB95 Interestingly, later in the Torah, the Levites and priests must work on Shabbat and the mo'edim (appointed times), because their avodah (service) is part of the very structure of that sacred time (Numbers 28–29). This creates two categories: those who are required to work on Shabbat (priests, Levites in their service), and everyone else, including the gifted artisans, who must cease from melachah (מְלָאכָה, melachah, “work”). Even holy calling must bend to God's rhythm of rest. The true function of the Tabernacle It is easy to reduce the Tabernacle to its parts: altar, incense altar, מְנוֹרָה menorah, table of showbread, priestly garments, tapestries, and so on (Exodus 25–30). We often define each by its function: The altar for sacrifices The incense altar for incense, symbolizing prayer The menorah for light The table for the bread of the Presence All of this is true, but incomplete. The primary purpose of the Tabernacle is not sacrifice management, but divine presence. God states the purpose clearly: “Let them construct a sanctuary for Me, that I may dwell among them.” Exodus 25:8 NASB95 This is central. The Mishkan is God's way of dwelling b'tocham (“in their midst,” Exodus 25:8), not merely near them. The furnishings are tools that serve this deeper goal. They help maintain holiness so that the Holy One can live within a sinful people without destroying them. Sin offerings and rituals are therefore secondary. They protect the relationship; they are not the relationship itself. The Tabernacle is first and foremost a place of שְׁכִינָה Shekhinah (“indwelling presence”), not simply a “sin mitigation system.” God at the center: The camp of Israel and the heart Consider the layout of Israel's camp (Numbers 2). The tribes surround the Mishkan on all sides; priests and Levites camp closest, and the Tabernacle stands at the center. This layout pictures a core truth: The people form a community. God dwells in the middle of that community. Where the tribes of Israel were to be camped around the Tabernacle, according to Numbers 2–3. (“The Tabernacle PowerPoint,” Rose Publishing Inc., 2013) This connects with the inner life of a person. Just as the tribes encircle the tabernacle, so a human being has a “center”—often symbolized by the lev (לֵב, lev, “heart”)—the seat of emotions, desires, and spiritual direction. When God dwells at the center of a person's heart, that life is ordered around His presence, not around self, money, family, ideology, or any other “good” thing. Artists, whose work often flows directly out of the heart more than out of linear logic, have a special connection here. God, the master Artist, inspires human artists so that their creativity reflects His presence in the very center of the community. The golden calf: Displacing God from the center Against this background, Exodus 32 and the golden calf become sharper and more tragic. While Moses is on the mountain receiving detailed instructions for the tabernacle, the people grow restless (Exodus 32:1). They demand visible representation. Aaron collects gold earrings and fashions the עֵגֶל הַזָּהָב egel ha-zahav (“golden calf,” Exodus 32:2–4). The golden calf is not just “idolatry” in the abstract. It is a replacement for God in the center of the community. Where God intends His mishkan to stand, Israel inserts a man-made image. The problem is not the gold itself. Gold, like all creation, is morally neutral. The issue is what the people choose to do with it. The same dynamic applies to many modern symbols — such as the rainbow (originally a sign of God's covenant faithfulness; Genesis 9:12–17) — which can be co-opted into serving messages or identities that directly conflict with God's ways. The object is not inherently evil; the meaning we attach and the place we give it in our hearts can turn it into an idol. Idolatry, then, is often made of good raw materials redirected toward wrong worship. What we place at the center Every person and every community will place something in the center. It might be: Personal pleasure Family Money National identity Human reason or “humanity” itself (a kind of religious humanism) Ideology, law, or any system of values When any of these occupy the position that belongs to God alone, they become an אֵל אַחֵר el acher (“another god”) in practice, even if they are not called “gods.” The golden calf episode portrays Israel pushing God outside the circle of the camp. He is now “out there” with Moses on the mountain, while placing the calf in the middle. This visual powerfully illustrates what happens whenever a person or society marginalizes God and enthrones something else. Breaking the covenant: The tablets and what the Law ‘hangs’ on When Moses descends the mountain, sees the calf and the revelry, he throws down the two tablets, shattering them (Exodus 32:19). The study presents a striking image to explain this: think of the עֲשֶׂרֶת הַדְּבָרִים Aseret haDevarim, (“Ten Words,” Ten Commandments) not primarily as a foundation but as a beam from which everything hangs. Yeshua (Jesus) later echoes this when He says: “On these two commandments depend (‘hang') the whole Law and the Prophets.” Matthew 22:40 NASB95 The idea is that all the detailed מִצְווֹת mitzvot (“commandments”) in the Torah hang from core categories like “You shall have no other gods before Me,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not commit adultery,” etc. (Exodus 20:1–17). If the beam breaks, all that hangs on it crashes. So when Israel breaks even one of the foundational commands — such as the prohibition of idolatry (Exodus 20:3–5) — they effectively shatter the entire covenantal structure. Moses' smashing of the tablets is not a mere emotional outburst; it is a visual declaration: “The covenant you agreed to has been broken.” (Exodus 24:3, 7; 32:19) This explains why later New Testament writings can say that one who stumbles in one point is “guilty of all” (James 2:10). The covenant stands or falls as a whole. Mercy, logic and the role of the Mediator At this point, God declares to Moses that He will destroy the people and make a new nation from Moses instead (Exodus 32:9–10; Deuteronomy 9:13–14). From a purely legal, logical standpoint, this is completely justified. The people agreed repeatedly, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do!” (Exodus 24:3, 7). They then immediately and flagrantly break the covenant. But Torah is not only about cold logic. The study contrasts a purely logical application of judgment with God's heart of חֶסֶד chesed (“mercy, covenantal lovingkindness”) and סְלִיחָה selichah (“forgiveness”). Moses steps into the role of mediator — μεσίτης mesitēs (“mediator”) in Greek New Testament language (1Timothy 2:5; Hebrews 9:15). He intercedes, appealing to God's reputation among the nations and to His promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 32:11–13; Deuteronomy 9:18–20). Moses recalls: “I fell down before the LORD, as at the first, forty days and nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all your sin which you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke Him to anger.” Deuteronomy 9:18 NASB95 Moses even intercedes specifically for Aaron (Deuteronomy 9:20), who bears heavy responsibility for crafting the calf. Here, mercy steps beyond simple cause-and-effect. Justice says, “They deserve destruction.” Mercy says, “Give them space to repent.” This is not illogical so much as supra-logical — rooted in God's character. Concepts like mercy and forgiveness do not “fit” in a rigid legal framework, yet they are central to who God is (Exodus 34:6–7). Repentance and the limits of human mediation The study stresses that mediation only has value if the people actually change. If Moses rebuked Israel for the golden calf, and they simply replaced it with a silver calf or an emerald calf, nothing substantial would have changed. They would still be idolaters, only with different décor. Similarly, the New Testament presents Yeshua as our advocate — παράκλητος paraklētos (“advocate, helper”) — and propitiation —ἱλασμός hilasmos (“atoning sacrifice”) — for sins (1John 2:1–2). Apostle Yokhanan writes: And if anyone sins, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He Himself is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for those of the whole world. 1John 2:1–2, NASB95 But Yokhanan immediately ties this to obedience: By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments. 1John 2:3, NASB95 If someone claims to know God but willfully refuses to keep His commandments, John calls that person a liar (1John 2:4). This aligns with the golden calf narrative: a mediator's work is not a free pass to persist in rebellion. It is a bridge back to covenant faithfulness. Yeshua's role continues and heightens what Moses models. Moses stands between God and Israel on Sinai; Yeshua stands at the right hand of the Father, interceding for those who turn back (Hebrews 7:25; 9:24). But in both cases, intercession assumes תְּשׁוּבָה teshuvah (“repentance, return”). There must be a real turning from idols back to God. The people as the foundation of God's dwelling The half-shekel census (Exodus 30:11–16; 38:25–28). Each Israelite of military age contributes a half-shekel of silver as “ransom for his life.” That silver is later melted down and cast into the sockets (bases) for the Tabernacle's frames. This imagery is rich: Each person is “counted” through a small piece of silver. Those individual pieces are refined and formed into the structural base of God's dwelling. The people themselves thus become the foundation of the Mishkan in a very literal way. This resonates strongly with later imagery such as “living stones” being built into a spiritual house (1Peter 2:5) and the community as a “temple of God” (1Corinthians 3:16–17). The study notes that when a community chooses a “golden calf” instead of God, it is not only rejecting God; it is, in a sense, erasing itself from its proper role as His dwelling's foundation. Yet God can still “pluck out” individuals who remain faithful even in a failing community — as seen in the lives of Daniel and others in exile (Jeremiah 24; Daniel 1). A nation may displace God from its center, but individuals can still enthrone Him in their own hearts. Shabbat, artists and the heart of Torah Whether one is an artist, a leader, or an ordinary member of the community, calling and gifting do not cancel God's commands. The very God who inspires art also commands a rhythm of rest (six days of work and then the Shabbat) and a structure of worship. The Torah is not just “rules”; it is God's wisdom for ordering life so that He can dwell among His people without consuming them. Yet, without chesed and selichah — without mercy and forgiveness — the Torah would become a crushing weight, since all inevitably fail at some point. The golden calf story, Moses' mediation, and the later New Testament teaching about Messiah Yeshua as mediator and atoning sacrifice together show that God's goal is not destruction but restoration. When a person or community repents — removing the idol, whatever form it takes, and re-enthroning God at the center — the Holy One is willing to treat the past as if it were a footnote rather than a defining reality (Ezekiel 18:21–23). The Mishkan's ultimate purpose is fulfilled: God dwells in and among His people. Each of us must examine what truly sits at the center of the camp of our lives. Is it God Himself, or a golden calf made of something good but misplaced? Through Torah, through the example of Moses, and through the greater mediation of Messiah Yeshua, God invites His people to become once again a living Tabernacle for His presence. The post Golden calf vs. living God: Choosing who dwells in your heart (Exodus 31-32; Deuteronomy 9; 1John 2) appeared first on Hallel Fellowship.

Feb 15, 2026 "The truth is, source God is within us. The war has been won, the children rescued, and the dark held accountable." — Arrow, Transition Specialist The Twin Revelation Yahshua (Jesus) has a twin sister. The "Doubting Thomas" narrative was a dark construct to hide this lineage. Arrow shares the same light column, returning now among thousands of others to anchor the ascension frequency. The Great Event (2017–2027) ✦Apocalypse: Not the end of the world but uncovering of truth. ✦Ascension: Moving beyond the "Prison Planet" and the construct of linear time. ✦Sovereignty: Guidance comes from the heart center, not external religions. Resources & Connections #CreationLightship #QTrain #NewEarth #ProjectReview Next Show: Project Review with Q & Aero (Sunday @ Noon Central) Call for 1M Humanitarian Projects Introduction In this inaugural episode of A St. Thomas Show, the speaker, Arrow, reveals her identity as the twin sister of Yeshua (Jesus) and delivers a message regarding the end of a 2,000-year cycle of darkness. She asserts that humanity is currently undergoing an "Ascension" to a "New Earth," characterized by the reclamation of internal divinity and the exposure of historical deceptions. Detailed Summary The Historical Deception and the True Nature of Yeshua Arrow claims that organized religions were engineered by "dark" extraterrestrial entities to enslave humanity through externalized worship, effectively "dimming down" the human vessel to limit its spiritual capacity. She clarifies that Yeshua and his followers were hung on poles rather than crosses as a warning to others. In the current era, the light once held by Yeshua has been fragmented into thousands of individual bodies to facilitate a global ascension, bypassing the dark forces' attempts to capture or destroy the light. The Linguistic Shift: Apocalypse English Definition "The end of the world" / Nuclear destruction. ➔ Greek Definition "To uncover, reveal, or disclose." The "Apocalypse" is not destruction, but the revealing of truth that sets humanity free from the world of darkness. Redefining the Apocalypse and the Great Event The narrative challenges the traditional English definition of "Apocalypse" as the end of the world, labeling it a fear-based narrative created by the "dark." Instead, Arrow adopts the Greek definition—to uncover or reveal—signifying the disclosure of horrific truths that have already occurred. She identifies the period between 2017 and 2027 as "The Great Event," a time of human spiritual victory where the war against darkness has already been won, children have been rescued, and tribunals have held the "enemy" accountable. The Mystery of the Twin and the Three Light Columns Arrow explains that the figure of "Saint Thomas" was a fabrication designed to hide the existence of Yeshua's twin sister. She identifies Yeshua as a vessel for three specific "light columns": Q (the teacher), Ron Amitron (the healer), and Princess Diana (the infiltrator of the royal family). While these spirits have manifested in various forms, their mission remains the restoration of order and the healing of the human spirit through "clearings" of density and darkness. The Three Light Columns of Yeshua Q: The "Man without a Name" and teacher of the Q-Trainers; focused on truth and transition. Ron Amitron: The healer; currently working from the "Creation Lightship" to clear human densities. Princess Diana: The infiltrator; tasked with dismantling evil structures within the royal lineage. Sovereignty, Time, and Personal Activation The document posits that humans are "gods and goddesses" whose abilities were suppressed by a "time construct" used by dark aliens to recycle souls. Arrow shares her personal journey of "remembering," including a childhood wish for peace and a synchronistic experience at a VA cemetery involving her Uncle Stu and the letter "Q," which confirmed her path as a "transition specialist." She emphasizes that guidance must come from the heart's center rather than the ego-driven head. Key Data The Great Event Timeline: 2017 – 2027. Numerical Significance: The number 117 and the date January 17th are highlighted as pivotal markers in Arrow's personal activation and family history. Source References:dictionary.cambridge.org (Critiqued for its definition of Apocalypse). creationlightship.com (Source for Ron Amitron's clearings). 4thepeople.space (Source for teachings on Emmanuel and density).

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #288 Title: What Does Scripture Say About Us? Web Description: Are you confident that you always believe that God means what He says? What about when you read a Bible verse that tells you to be like Christ? If we are honest, we would admit that we have trouble accepting Scriptures about God's divine nature in us and what He expects us to be. Rather than skipping over such Scriptures, we should work at embracing them and applying them with all our hearts. Show Notes: There are certain Scriptures that we find very difficult to take literally, especially when they challenge how we think about ourselves. When we read in John 17:23 that the Father loves us with the same love He had for Yeshua (Jesus), we tend to stop and ask, "Did He really mean that?" After all, how could God love us in our sinfulness with the same love He had for His Son? But God does mean what He says about us. God is bringing many sons to glory, loving them just as He loved Christ, who was the first born of many brethren. When Yeshua was born, He could do nothing as a baby that He would do as a grown man. But He was already the Son of God, Savior, and Lord at His birth. He grew up to fulfill the purpose God sent Him to the earth to fulfill. And when we are born in Christ, He implants His divinity in us. Then our growth and maturity in Christ comes from this nature of Christ already within us. Just as Christ grew up into the fullness of the Father, according to Ephesians 4 we are to grow up into the fullness of Christ. Yet we resist accepting that about ourselves. Many even consider it heresy to say that we can be like Christ. These Scriptures about who we are in God need to get through to us. We cannot simply skip over them or find other ways to interpret them because we have a hard time accepting what they say we are. We need to clearly see the purpose that God has for us and His equipping that matures us into who we are to be as full-grown members of the Body of Christ. That is why we have begun a project with the Fellow Workers. We are building a list of Scriptures that confront us about who we are and what God has put us on this earth to be. Join us in finding these Scriptures, meditating on them, and planting them in our hearts until they bear fruit in our lives. Key Verses: • John 17:23. "You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me." • Romans 8:29. "He would be the firstborn among many brethren." • Ephesians 4:11–13. "He gave … for the equipping of the saints … until we all attain … to the fullness of Christ." • Luke 2:52. "Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men." • Hebrews 2:10. "It was fitting for Him, … in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation." • John 14:5–18. "The Father abiding in Me does His works." Quotes: • "It's that constant reality that is manifested in the now that we are what God brought us here to be. Is that maturing? Is it perfecting? Yes. But get out of the idea that you're becoming something different or that you need to become something different than what you are." • "Our mind kind of blocks and parries this off so that we don't let it really hit us like it needs to hit us—that the Father is in Christ and the Father is in us and Christ is in us and we are one." • "He wants us to be equipped. I think it's part of our relationship with one another because somewhere, in us and around us, abide these apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, brothers and sisters, and that which is bringing forth this process of maturing." Takeaways: 1. God has chosen to be in this time just as He sent Christ to be in His time. So we need to find and come into connection with the reality of who we are and what our purpose is in this earth. And the Scriptures play an important role in that. 2. When we encounter a Scripture that seems too wonderful to believe about ourselves, we tend to interpret it in a way that lets us not take it at face value. 3. We must get out of this idea that we are working toward something or that we are doing a job out of dedication. Our work of service comes out of the divinity of the Father and of the Son that God has installed within us. 4. We need to be looking through the Scriptures and finding verses that confront us with the reality of who we are—that Christ and the Father are in us—and come to grips with what that means.

Messiah the Prince Daniels Prophecy Jewish Tradition and the Identity of Yeshua - Part 9 of our Melchizedek Series

The Messianic Torah Observer

In this installment, Rod Thomas explores the Jewish concepts of the Messiah, focusing on the three-messiah framework: Mashiyach Nagid, Mashiyach ben Yosef, and Mashiyach ben David. The discussion delves into Daniel's prophecy, Jewish tradition, and the identity of Yeshua (Jesus) as understood in Messianic faith. The episode also examines why mainstream Judaism rejects Yeshua as Messiah and how these messianic expectations shape both Jewish and Messianic perspectives. Key Topics Covered 1. Introduction and Context Greetings and setting: Recorded on the 3rd Day of the 11th biblical month, 6025 (Friday, January 16, 2026). Reflection on persecution, faith, and the hope found in Yeshua's teachings (Matthew 5:10-12; Ephesians 6:18; Matthew 5:44; Luke 6:28). 2. Why Judaism Rejects Yeshua as Messiah Historical grievances and theological differences. The role of Rabbinic expectations and interpretations in shaping Jewish messianic beliefs (Hebrews 2:3; Romans 3:2; Romans 11:25-26; Zechariah 12:10). 3. The Three Messiahs in Jewish Thought Mashiyach Nagid (Messiah the Prince) Mashiyach ben Yosef (Messiah, son of Joseph) Mashiyach ben David (Messiah, son of David) The episode focuses on Mashiyach Nagid, with future installments to cover the other two. 4. What is Mashiyach Nagid? Linguistic breakdown: "Mashiyach" means "Anointed One"; "Nagid" means "Prince" or "Leader." Scriptural foundation: Daniel 9:25-26 and its interpretations. The prophecy's implications for Jewish and Christian eschatology (1 Corinthians 13:12; Matthew 24:15-16). 5. The Meaning and Role of "Nagid" "Nagid" as prince, ruler, leader, commander, or official. Biblical examples: Saul, David, Solomon, Hezekiah, Abner, Azariah, and others (1 Samuel 9:16; 10:1; 13:14; 25:30; 2 Samuel 5:2; 6:21; 7:8; 1 Kings 1:35; 2 Kings 18:1; 2 Chronicles 31:13). 6. Mashiyach Nagid in Prophecy and Tradition The "transitional" leader concept: Anointed but not yet king. Comparison with "Melech" (King) and the Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7:8-16; Psalm 2:8-12; 2 Chronicles 13:5). 7. Messianic Traits and the Melchizedekian Order Psalm 110 as a foundational text for the dual role of king and priest. The Melchizedekian priesthood and its fulfillment in Yeshua (1 Peter 2:9; Daniel 2:44; Matthew 21:44; 1 Corinthians 15:24; Revelation 11:15). 8. Jewish Perspectives on Mashiyach Nagid Views of Rashi, Ibn Ezra, and Rambam (Maimonides) on the identity and role of Mashiyach Nagid. The Essenes and Qumran writings: Priestly and royal messiahs, "Prince of the Congregation" (Damascus Document, Rule of the Congregation, 11QMelchizedek). Apocryphal and Talmudic references: Suffering and kingly messiahs (1 Enoch, Jubilees, Talmud). 9. Christian and Messianic Interpretations Yeshua as the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy and the persona of Mashiyach Nagid. The dual or double-fulfillment view of prophecy. Jewish objections to identifying Yeshua as all three messianic figures. 10. Application and Call to Discipleship The call for believers to imitate Yeshua's character traits: suffering, triumph, priesthood, kingship, exaltation, royal lineage, and spiritual warfare (Isaiah 53; Colossians 2:15; Psalm 110; Matthew 1:1; Zechariah 14:3; 1 Peter 2:9; Revelation 20:6; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6; Ephesians 6:12-14). Invitation to covenant relationship and Torah-honoring lifestyle (2 Corinthians 6:2; Isaiah 55:6-9).

GIG284 Receive God's Glory, Oneness, and Love

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 14, 2026 20:40

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #284 Web Description: Do you ever struggle to believe that God truly loves you? Are you ever discouraged by the lack of unity among Christians? According to John 17, the glory we have received from Christ is the answer to those problems. His glory means that the Father loves us with the same love He has for Christ, and together we have the same oneness that Christ and the Father have. This is our reality. Let us live in it today. Show Notes: Religion tends to put everything in the past or in the future. And when we are conditioned by that in our minds, it limits what we can believe. It makes our faith head knowledge, as if it is only something we are supposed to be educated about. But we are not supposed to merely understand the Scriptures. And we are not supposed to lock them up in the past or the future. We are supposed to walk in them in our daily lives. According to John 17, Yeshua (Jesus) said, "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them." That means His glory has already been given to us. That is not head knowledge. Nor is it off in the future. It is ours to possess now because we have this glory from the Father for a purpose, which needs to be a reality. Yeshua prayed that we would be one, and that does not happen because we try to work it up. Our oneness in the Body of Christ happens because of His glory. His glory brings our oneness, and by that the world will know that the Father has sent Christ. But there is another aspect that the world will see in us, which we often overlook. Because of the glory that we possess in Christ, the world will know that the Father loves us just as He has loved His Son. Is it real to us as Christians that God loves us with the exact same love He has for Christ? It should be. Let us absorb this Scripture until it is more than something we accept mentally. Let us learn how to live in the glory of Christ. Key Verses: • John 17:20–26. "The glory which You have given Me I have given to them." • John 14:6. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life." • 2 Corinthians 5:19. "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself." • Philippians 2:13. "It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." • Ephesians 3:18–19. "Be able to … know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge." Quotes: • "We have the glory of Christ given to us now to live in now." • "Living daily in the glory that the Father gave to Christ would change many things. But one of the things that would change is the fact that it would bring oneness to me and those that are walking with God surrounding myself and really with all who believe." • "The Father's good pleasure is that you know how much He loves you, and that you come to the revelation that as He loves His Son, so He loves you. And that's really why the Son was sent." Takeaways: 1. It needs to be real to us that the glory the Father gave Christ is the glory Christ has given to us. 2. It needs to be real to us that we already possess His glory, and we can live in it today. 3. It needs to be real to us that our oneness with others in Christ is because of His glory. 4. It needs to be real to us that the Father loves us with the very same love that He has for His Son.

GIG282 My Resolution for the New Year

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 31, 2025 33:26

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #282 Air Date: 12/31/2025 My Resolution for the New Year Web Description: The period from the ascension of Christ to the present has been labeled the Church Age. In reality it should be called the Age of the Holy Spirit. Yeshua (Jesus) did not tell His disciples, "The Father will teach you how to have good churches." He promised that they would be endued with power by the Holy Spirit and be His witnesses in the earth. My New Year's resolution is to change my emphasis from church to being filled with the Holy Spirit first and endued with power to be His witness today. Show Notes: The Church Age is the term most widely used to identify the years since the ascension of Christ until now. This label, I think, misdirects the focus of our faith in this generation. When Yeshua (Jesus) prepared His disciples for His departure, He did not give them instructions about church. He taught them about the Holy Spirit directing them and guiding them and about their being witnesses in all the world to make disciples of the nations. Christ could have said, "Go to Jerusalem and focus on gathering everyone together who believes in Me and establish an order and a structure for the Church." But He did not do that. He said, "You are to go and receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be My witnesses." Eventually those who had this experience were drawn to assemble together. But their assembling together was secondary to their individual experience of having this promise of the Holy Spirit resting upon them. We tend to lose this emphasis. To be honest, our emphasis is more on being led and taught by Church leaders than on being led and taught by the Holy Spirit. And what I want to do this year is focus on being filled with the Holy Spirit, not dependent on anything that is not provided by the Father through the Holy Spirit. If we can do that as individuals, I believe the Church will have the power and witness in the earth that Christ promised to His disciples. Key Verses: • Luke 24:49 (NKJV). "Tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high." • Deuteronomy 23:3. "No Ammonite or Moabite shall enter the assembly of the LORD." • Matthew 16:15-18. "Upon this rock I will build My church." • Matthew 18:15-17. "If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church." • Acts 1:6-8. "You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses." • John 14:16-18. "You know Him because He abides with you and will be in you." • Jeremiah 31:31-34. "They will not teach again, each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they will all know Me." • John 14:26. "He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you." • John 16:6-15. "It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you." • John 7:37-39. "The Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified." Quotes: • "What was necessary and what He had promised them was the Holy Spirit, not church." • "How do we learn about Christ? How do we know Christ? How do we understand Christ? By the Holy Spirit that comes to us." • "It's endless what the Lord gave to us when he gave us the Holy Spirit upon His departure, and I don't want to make it secondary to anything else." Takeaways: 1. The ecclesia, what we call the Church, was initiated by virtue of the experience the disciples had of being filled with the Holy Spirit and being endued with the power of the Holy Spirit to be His witnesses. 2. When Yeshua used the Greek word ekklesia, He was not speaking in terms of our understanding of the Church. He was speaking in terms of the assembly of the Lord or the assembly of Israel. And He applied it to those who would be taught and directed by the Father through the Holy Spirit. 3. How much are we depending on the Church to provide for us what Christ has already provided through the Holy Spirit?

GIG281 Christmas, Celebrating the Son of Man

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 24, 2025 27:02

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #281 Title: Christmas, Celebrating the Son of Man Web Description: The symbolism that most often defines Christmas is the Nativity scene. And the Nativity scene is about the reality that Christ, the Messiah, the Savior, the King of kings, was born and lived as a human being. At Christmas we are not celebrating His divinity. We are celebrating His humanity. We are celebrating the fact that He came to earth as a man who went through everything we go through and is thus able to lead us and help us through everything. Show Notes: At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Yeshua (Jesus). When we do that, we are celebrating the birth of a human baby. Yet in our Christian faith, we think of Christ as a divine figure who always moved in a divine way. But the Christmas story is the opposite of that. The Christmas story tells us that He was a vulnerable baby who had to be cared for and protected. He had to be raised and taught like any human child. As Christians we tend to put Christ so far above us that He is unattainable in today's life. We think, "He was perfect, but I am caught in my flesh, and I can't get out of it." That viewpoint is unscriptural. The Scriptures teach us that the Messiah is a human being. Yeshua was not born perfect. He learned obedience through the things that he suffered. He was made perfect by what He went through, just as we are being made perfect because of what we go through. Yeshua could not be the Messiah without living in the flesh. He had to share in flesh and blood. He had to partake in the same things we partake in. He had to feel what we feel. He had to experience what we experience because He is our help. He is the aid to those who are tempted because He faced it all. He overcame the circumstances, the stress, the oppression, the futility of living in this earth where satan surrounded all that He did, seeking to kill Him every day. Therefore, He is able to help us through all those things in our daily lives. Key Verses: • Read Luke 2:1–52. • 2 Corinthians 5:16. "We have known Christ according to the flesh." • Matthew 6:10. "Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven." • Acts 1:6. "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" • Hebrews 2:14–18. "Since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same." • Hebrews 5:7–11. "Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered." • Hebrews 4:14–16. "We do not have a high priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses." • Hebrews 7:24–25. "Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him." • Romans 8:27–39. "Those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren." Quotes: • "If we are going to truly celebrate the concept that is called Christmas, it is about Him being born. It is about Him living in a human life." • "I know we will live in the days of glory. I know that we will live with Him in His Kingdom. But right now in the days of our flesh, we need help." • "He lived in the flesh. And in the flesh, He was successful in being a human who related to God, who was filled with the Holy Spirit, who was enabled to move and enact and bring the will of God into the earth." Takeaways: 1. Let us celebrate Christmas this year by identifying with our Messiah as a human being—a son of man.[SP1] 2. Let us celebrate that Yeshua did not exercise His divinity during His days on earth, but He was tempted in all things and felt our every human suffering. There is nothing we go through in our lives that He cannot relate to. 3. Let us celebrate that Yeshua lives to intercede for us every day and ministers to us in our times of crisis and need. He is our Messiah. Our lives are meant to be lived in Him and through Him.

Torah Reading Miketz- Kingdom Character Emulating Humility Faith and Wisdom from Torah to Messiah

The Messianic Torah Observer

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 19, 2025 58:01

This episode of the Messianic Torah Observer, hosted by Rod Thomas, explores the Torah portion Miketz (Genesis 41:1–44:17), focusing on the life of Joseph (Yosef) and drawing prophetic parallels to Yeshua (Jesus). The teaching highlights how both figures exemplify essential Kingdom character traits—humility, faith, wisdom, the Spirit of Yehovah, and forgiveness. The discussion begins with a summary of Joseph's rise from prison to becoming second-in-command in Egypt, his interactions with his brothers during the famine, and the tests he sets for them. The episode then delves into the spiritual significance of these events, emphasizing how Joseph's journey mirrors the ministry and character of Yeshua. Key themes include: Humility: Both Joseph and Yeshua endured humbling circumstances before being exalted, modeling the Kingdom principle that exaltation comes through humility. Faith: Their unwavering trust in Yehovah enabled them to endure trials and fulfill their divine purposes. Wisdom: Joseph's God-given wisdom saved nations, while Yeshua embodied divine wisdom, teaching and guiding others. The Spirit of Yehovah: Both were recognized as being filled with the Spirit, empowering their ministries. Forgiveness: Joseph forgave his brothers, and Yeshua taught and demonstrated forgiveness, making it a central Kingdom imperative. The episode concludes with a call for listeners to emulate these traits, seek God's wisdom, and pursue spiritual growth, assuring that Yehovah equips and empowers those who earnestly seek Him.

GIG280 Hanukkah—Do Not Be Conformed to this World

Play Episode Listen Later Dec 17, 2025 21:20

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #280 Categories: Biblical Feasts Web Description: In Romans 12, Paul exhorts us not to be conformed to this world. That is what Hanukkah is all about. It expresses the refusal of the Jewish people to be converted into something that was against the will of God and against the teachings of God. We as believers in Yeshua (Jesus) should have the same resistance to the culture that is set to move us away from the Scriptures, away from our Christian values, and convert us to a different way of life. Hanukkah is not a substitute for Christmas. It is an observance very applicable to Christianity today. Show Notes: Many people think that Hanukkah is just a celebration for Jewish people to compete with Christmas during December. That is not true. Hanukkah existed before the celebration of Christmas and was observed by Yeshua (Jesus). Called the Feast of Dedication, Hanukkah celebrates the rededication of the Temple after the Maccabean Revolt when the Jews recaptured Jerusalem, recaptured the Temple, and purified it from its defilement. At a time when Israel was under the suppression of the Seleucid Empire, Antiochus IV (known as Epiphanes) determined to wipe out all the practices and beliefs of the Jewish people and replace them with Greek paganism. A small band of Jewish men and women who refused to be Hellenized and converted into pagans rose up and fought against the armies of the Greeks and won, taking Jerusalem and cleansing and rededicating the Temple. This spirit is what Hanukkah celebrates. To celebrate Hanukkah is to follow after those who refused to be converted to the paganism of the Greek culture. As Christians we likewise should refuse the demands of today's culture and the pressures of society that would force us to deny our faith and convert us to the paganism of today's world, which is quickly abandoning the Scriptures, abandoning morals, abandoning pure thought, and the right ways of life. We, as believers in Christ, along with the Jewish people, should shine as a light on a hill as those who hold forth the Word of God, the promises of God, and the prophecies to come. Key Verses: • John 10:22–23. "At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem; it was winter, and Jesus was walking in the temple." • Romans 12:1–2. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." • Matthew 5:11–16. "You are the light of the world. … Let your light shine before men." • Matthew 24:22. "Unless those days had been cut short, no life would have been saved." Quotes: • "We are the salt of the earth. We are to be the light. And that is what you can say about those who participated in the Maccabean Revolt that refused to be removed off of their faith." • "We are believers, and we are not to be conformed to this world. We are not to be conformed to its cultures, its beliefs, and its ways of life when they are contrary to God and to His Word." • "Let us rededicate and purify everything that has been touched and destroyed during these days under the attempts of satan to bring about his purpose." Takeaways: 1. Hanukkah reminds us that as believers, we are not to be conformed to this world. We are not to be conformed to its cultures, its beliefs, and its ways of life when they are contrary to God and to His Word. 2. Hanukkah reminds us that we are to be a light to this world—we should shine brightly as a light on a hill. We cannot let our light go out, and we certainly cannot live in fear and intimidation and hide our light under a bushel basket. 3. Hanukkah reminds us that we are the salt of the earth. What we are to do today is to preserve the culture of the Kingdom of God. We are to preserve the ways of God. We are to preserve the love and the Word of God in this day and age. 4. Hanukkah reminds us that we must put our faith into service. Like the ancient Maccabees, we must go in and cleanse the Temple—to rededicate and purify everything that has been touched and destroyed as satan has attempted to bring about his purposes in our world.

In this episode of the Lausanne Movement Podcast, Dan Sered, Chief Operating Officer of Jews for Jesus and Lausanne Catalyst for Jewish Evangelism, shares his remarkable journey from a secular Jewish home in Israel to discovering Jesus as Messiah while studying in New York City. Jason and Dan explore the meaning of Messianic Jewish identity, how the gospel can be shared in culturally meaningful ways with Jewish people, and why peacemaking—not political partisanship—is the calling of every follower of Jesus. Dan also offers profound reflections on the Israel–Palestine conflict, the Church's responsibility during times of polarization, and how Jewish and Gentile believers can together bear witness to the hope of the gospel.

In this groundbreaking episode of the School of Divine Mysteries, Aharon — a 48-year-old Orthodox Jew from Jerusalem — reveals how his sincere search for God led him from strict Judaism… to recognizing the Mahdi, Aba Al-Sadiq. Raised in Israel, married with five children, and deeply devoted to Torah and Orthodox Jewish life, Aharon always believed he needed to “find the Moses of his time.” His journey took a shocking turn when he discovered Yeshua (Jesus), the tragedy of Karbala, and the hidden prophecies in Judaism that align with the Mahdi and the family of Prophet Muhammad. For the first time ever, Aharon publicly shares:

Growing In God Podcast Program Number: GIG #278 Title: Walking with God is Doing Web Description: How do we walk with God? By taking steps to act on what God is telling us to do. The Scriptures are more than ideas to learn about and discuss. They are a way for God to speak directly to us what He wants us to do. We can know His will for us in the Scriptures when we are willing to do His will. And we can know the blessings of a walk with God when we find the way to do His will as He makes it real to us in His Word. Show Notes: There is an abundance of material available to us for Bible study. We can do a great deal of Bible reading. We can memorize Scriptures. We can consume many Bible teachings. And God can speak to us through that. But if we never do anything about what God speaks to us, how beneficial is our study? Yeshua (Jesus) said, "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them." The Scriptures are examples for us to live by. More than just studying them and discussing them, we are to take steps to walk in them. That is what a walk with God is all about. It is learning what God wants you to do and then taking steps to do it. If a Scripture touches your heart, or the Lord makes something real to you, then meditate on it with the purpose of doing something about it. Seek the Lord about it and ask Him, "What do you want me to do with this? How do I express this in some type of action?" This is how we appropriate the Word in our lives. It becomes real to us when we are doing it. Yeshua said that we will know if His teaching is from God when we are willing to do His will. And we know that God is at work in us to will and to do His good pleasure. The purpose of Him working in us is not to learn more about His will or to talk more about His will, but to be driven to do His will. Let us begin to apply this to our Bible study. One way is to keep a notebook of action items that we can do in response to what God is showing us in His Word. Whatever method we use, let us strive to see the will of God accomplished in our lives. Key Verses: • Genesis 17:1. "Walk before Me, and be blameless." • Psalm 116:9. "I shall walk before the Lord in the land of the living." • John 13:12–17. "If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them." • Matthew 22:35–39. "LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD … LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR." • Philippians 2:12–13. "It is God who is at work in you, both to will and to work for His good pleasure." • John 2:5–10. "Whatever He says to you, do it." • Hebrews 13:20–21. "Now the God of peace … equip you in every good thing to do His will." • John 7:17. "If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching." Quotes: • "It's not knowing the Scriptures. It's doing the Scriptures. It's not knowing the things of God. It's doing what He's commanded us to do." • "We're not to read the books or listen to messages and then sit around and just discuss them. If we're going to sit around and discuss the Word and what God's saying, let's start discussing what we're going do about it and how we're going to do it." • "He is working in you because what He is asking, or what's needed as a response to His Word or the teaching, may be a difficult thing to do. And so you have to draw on His strength and His enabling in order to go do that." Takeaways: 1. There is a tendency for us as Christians to consume a lot of material in our study of the Scriptures. But the concern is what do we actually do about what we are learning from the Scriptures? 2. It is important to develop some methodology that helps us do something about what God makes real to us in the Scriptures. 3. We have a greater grasp of Bible teaching when we have the heart to do it. And not only when we have the heart, but when we actively find the ways to do something about what God shows is in the teaching.
