One of the things that many Christians don't realise, is that the New Testament is actually a very Jewish book. However, it was written by Jews, to Jews, about a Jewish man who was in fact the Jewish Messiah, descendant of Jewish kings, foretold in Jewish Scriptures by Jewish prophets. That's our focus today on Foundations.

Most Christians consider Jews and Christianity completely separate from each other, however, all the patriarchs, kings and prophets that we hold dear were Jewish. Our Scriptures are Jewish, the Apostles were Jewish and our Messiah, Jesus, IS Jewish. That's what we'll begin exploring today on Foundations.

Tisha B'av is known to be the saddest day in the Jewish year as it's the anniversary of many tragedies in the history or these persecuted people. In the program today we'll look at the events that have devastated the Jewish people over the centuries that all took place on Tisha B'av ?' the 9th day of the month of Av in the Hebrew calendar.

We'll continue our conversation on Foundations about how our God, unlike other gods and mythical deities, is beyond definition. He cannot be defined or contained with any kind of human constraints.

It's human to want definitive definitions about who God is and what He's like. However, the more we learn about God, the more we learn that we don't know much about Him at all. Unlike the gods of the ancient world who were defined specifically for their individual roles, our God is beyond human definition and understanding. He's too vast, too lofty and too undefinable.

One of the greatest doctrines of the Christian faith is the return of Christ, His second coming. Many have tried to predict when His coming will be, and just as many have failed in their predictions. The Bible says that no one knows the hour or the day, but can we know approximately when He's coming back? That's our conversation today on Foundations.

An ancient Jewish practice of rabbis was to look for commonalities or connections between passages when a word or phrase was repeated. In this way, they'd be able to connect those words or events, and deepen the meaning and richness of God's Word, revealing multi-levels of understanding. This process is termed 'stringing pearls' and that's what we'll be looking at on Foundations.

On Foundations today we'll wrap up our look at the western industrialised worldview that has wrongly viewed and interpreted the Bible from that vantage point.
