Part 1 - With video blogger Maria Nikolaidi from Greece for her Bitchute Channel

Full Audio Message https://www.hiswordheals.com/interview-essenes-dead-sea-scrolls-new-age/  Our sister in Messiah Maria from Greece was brought out of New Age Religion by Y'shua Messiah, Praise Yah!  She has been studying the calendar issue and says the Essenes' (or whomever the writers were of some of the extra-biblical Dead Sea Scrolls were) doctrines do seem similar to the New Age doctrines which she came out of.  That is why she wanted to include both sides of the calendar discussion, both for and against, on her Freefloat Bitchute Channel.  Our interview of course was in the against category but mostly outlined reasons why you should use extreme caution when reading the Dead Sea Scrolls and switching calendars or any doctrine based upon the content of these scrolls.  Here is the direct link to her Bitchute Channel https://www.bitchute.com/video/JDzMU2lDqo95/  Perhaps sometime in the future we will interview Maria :).  Let me know if you have some questions you would like us to ask her by emailing me at [email protected]

News and commentary for Monday, 19 February, 2024.

And an eventful day it is...

The prophet Jeremiah was given some severe words to speak to the people concerning how they were behaving while being in covenant with their Elohim. They were living in the land and claiming Yahweh to be their Elohim yet, at the same time, living according to the idolatry of the nations around them, but thinking they were doing it unto Yahweh. Yahweh said no more! “Why should my beloved be in my house? She has done wickedness with many.” (Jeremiah 11:15)

Rabbi Steve Berkson points out from the warnings of Jeremiah that loving the world and being in covenant with Yahweh is impossible. You will have to hate one and love the other.

Going forward, Rabbi Berkson digs deep into the metaphor of the olive tree with its branches getting broken off and other branches grafted in beginning in Jeremiah 11:16 and moving into Romans 11 and John 15.

Return or Resurrection?

Footsteps of Messiah

In the Footsteps of Messiah series, we’ve used the Song of Songs as a prophetic working text to help us understand the preparation of the Bride of Messiah: “Come with me from Lebanon, my bride...” (So 4:8)

Some passages of the Song describe the relationship between the Bride and her Beloved, and some describe the perfecting conditions in millennial kingdom. What is puzzling is how the resurrection of the righteous dead aligns with the more natural-sounding earth prophecies such as this one in Isaiah:

’For I know their works and their thoughts; the time is coming to gather all nations and tongues. And they shall come and see My glory. I will set a sign among them and will send survivors from them to the nations: Tarshish, Put, Lud, Meshech, Tubal and Javan, to the distant coastlands that have neither heard My fame nor seen My glory. And they will declare My glory among the nations. Then they shall bring all your brethren from all the nations as a grain offering to the LORD, on horses, in chariots, in litters, on mules and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem,’ says the LORD, ‘just as the sons of Israel bring their grain offering in a clean vessel to the house of the LORD.’ (Is 66:18-20)

The ancient boundaries of the coastlands (nations) were according to language and family:

From these the coastlands of the nations were separated into their lands, every one according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. (Ge 10:5)

In the millennial kingdom of Messiah, it appears that those boundaries don’t disappear. Maybe they are re-drawn according to the original assignments, or maybe the shifting of peoples and their languages results in re-drawing. I’m not sure whether that’s important, only that the boundaries of Tzion are established and respected.

Isaiah prophesies that all nations and tongues will gather. The only event(s) we know that fit this prophecy is the gathering to the House of Prayer for All Nations, the Holy Temple in Jerusalem. Zechariah 14:16 prophesies the nations will begin to observe the feasts of Adonai in the millennium. Zechariah’s prophecy seems a little more aligned with Isaiah’s vision of the millennium, a time that still seems very much within a perfecting, but yet physical, world.

How, then, do we see the Bride's gathering into the cloud (1 Th 4:16) to remain in the Presence of Adonai versus being a “sign” for the gathering of the nations? Are we in the Presence of Adonai or active among the nations? Maybe it’s not an either/or question, simply one of learning from both prophecies.

A thousand years is a very long time.

A thousand years ago, the Vikings were terrorizing Europe and beyond by sea, and the Byzantine Empire still sailed the Mediterranean. There were castles and kings. The samurai in Japan were beginning to arise as a warrior class. The Mayans had not yet reached the pinnacle of their empire.

We’ve come a long way, baby Bride.

And the nations will have a long way to go in the millennium.

From the text in Exodus describing the giving of the Torah, an identity evolved of Israel as a Bride. In Jewish thought, Moses is the one leading the Bride out to meet the Bridegroom at Sinai. From here, the prophets (Je 2:2 among others) take up the Bride as an identity of Israel who is willing to do and hear the commandments of her Elohim. She’s saved from Egypt and bound in covenant of her free will. The New Testament Scriptures extend this identity and elaborate upon it.

I will close my 30-part series on the Last Passover Week Chronology of Yeshua in this Real Israel Talk Radio episode. With this extended study (one hour and six minutes), I will summarize all I have presented since starting the series.  I will begin and end with three questions:

1)  How did Yeshua manage to DO (meaning, how did he manage TO BE the Passover Lamb) and also to EAT the Passover Lamb with his disciples precisely according to Exodus Chapter 12?

2)  How did Yeshua come to be called the PASSOVER Lamb?

3)  What does it mean that Yeshua, the Passover Lamb, died for the sins of the world?

Join me for this final program summary in this 30-part series about the Zadokite Calendar, Yeshua, and his role as Melchizedek, Messiah King and Teaching Priest from the cit

From the story of the "Exodus" itself, this week's Torah parsha, Terumah, (Exodus 25:1-27:19) takes a bit of a turn, and embarks on a description of the building and furnishing of the mishkan, or 'tabernacle in the wilderness.'

But what is most noteworthy, perhaps even confusing, is the level of detail. Why? And why is it important now, especially?

If nothing else, it tends to inspire people to try to 'spriitualize' the description. But that might just be a bit of a 'cop-out,' because there seems to be much more.

The Erev Shabbat reading:

In the Sabbath day midrash, Mark Call of Shabbat Shalom Mesa fellowship explores what that might be.

And it seems to bear directly, and in direct contrast, to what we see happening so universally today.

Terumah: Spiritualizing the Mishkan - To Destroy, or to Build?"

The combined two-part teaching is here:

An extended look back at news, and related commentary, for the week ending Saturday, 17 February, 2024.

The Torah teachers, Mark Pitrone, Mark Call, and Ray Harrison, take a detailed look at the Book of the prophet Isaiah, chapter 24, and then into 25.

David Justice, Jeff Prystupa, and Mark Call discuss the Deceptions, Distractions, Double-think, and Dissemblings of the Week, and where we go after starting to 'come out of her.'

There are so many apparently impossible challenges facing those who begin to see the Truth of just how evil the world has become, and deserving of Judgment, than many people seem to feel overwhelmed, or even hopeless.

Mark suggests that is certainly the intent of the Tyrants and Wannabe World Dictators, who serve that 'other master.' But it's arguably also true that Biblical prophecy has warned us of exactly that.
