24 Minute Bible - A Simple Journey to Understand the Bible

What we call the book of 'Numbers' is call 'Bemidbar' in the Jewish tradition, which means 'the WANDERINGS.  Numbers is the record of the 40 years of 'wanderings' in the wilderness.  It is an exciting and event filled book. Enjoy the journey!!

Episode #151

The book of Leviticus can seem rather confusing, redundant and boring... and it is-- if you are reading it like a novel or history book.  Understand, however, that LEVITICUS is written as a 'legal reference book' to help this newly freed nation-- known as Israel-- govern themselves and then the book is absolutely FOUNDATIONAL.  In Leviticus we discover three 'mountains':  the OFFERINGS... the LIFESTYLE... and the HOLIDAYS of this 'brand new Nation'.  Without Leviticus, there is NO ISRAEL... and

Episode #148

In this final episode about the mess that is the Middle East we will examine— through ‘historical, political and spiritual lens’ HOW to think about what is happening in this most difficult area of the world. The future of our world, as the Bible informs us, will in large part, be impacted by events in the Middle East.

Understanding the Middle East Part 4 - Episode 147

What is the motivation for such hatred against the Jews? Is it the issue of the 'land' or 'revenge' or lust for their supposed wealth? In this episode we look at the 'belief system' that really drives this unmasked vitriol.

The Palestinian Question - Episode #146

In this episode we look at three very important questions concerning the Middle East:

1. Who are the Philistines?

2. Where did the Philistines come from?

3. Are the Philistines of the bible the Palestinians of today?

To truly understand the complex Middle East, we must ask those questions. The answers will be evasive - but at least we will understand why the Middle East is such a mess.

UNDERSTANDING the Middle East — BLOOD LINES. (Episode #145)

Did you know that Abraham had 8 SONS. And over 21 boys called Abraham ‘GRAMPS’. And all were in the ‘blood line’ of Abraham. No wonder the Middle East is such a tempest— it is a ‘family feud’! In this episode we examine the many different family connections to the ‘mess’ in the Middle East. Hopefully, it will bring some light to this very complex area.

Understanding the complexity, the politics, the motives and the bloodlines of the Middle East is like trying to untangle a ‘wad of fishing line’ ! It is almost impossible. Yet— the events in the Middle East (Israel, the Arab countries, the Palestinian territories, Iran and Iraq ) are front and center on our world news today as a flashpoint for World War 3. For the next 5 weeks we will examine, from a Biblical perspective, how this whole (un)holy mess came about.

Continuing the discussion from Episode #142, we review the questions ‘Were Jesus and other Biblical Figures Involved in Politics? (Yes)… and ‘Who is the Authority— the King in America? (We the People). From there we dive into ‘party affiliations’, important issues and some Practical Advice on how to navigate this divisive but important decision for all Americans!
