MBM-UK - Weekly studies

This week we discuss the importance of Rosh HaShanah. We discuss the three aspects of sovereignty, remembrance and the cycles of prayer. We also look at how judgement is not to be simply understood as an expectation of punishment.

This week we conclude our study of the book of Amos. We discuss the enduring aspect of the fifth vision of Amos describing the reestablishment of Israel as a nation and how that impacts us today.

This week we look at the 4th Vision where we see the declaration of judgment over the northern kingdom. We the discuss the metaphor of the summer fruit and its hidden meaning. We also look at the biblical timeline of the judgments that took place and how they impact us today.

This week we continue to look at the five visions of Amos. We discuss visions 2 & 3 and the connections with the passage of Matthew 24 relating to the "times of Noah".

This week we begin to look at the final three chapters of Amos which contain the 5 Visions. We discuss the importance of the number 5 in Hebraic thinking and the first vision. We consider its prophetic implications as we see things unfolding and moving toward the Messianic Kingdom.

This week we look Amos 6. This is not the recording of the Friday evening study. We discuss some of the verses in Amos 5 and the continuing impact of the idolatry of Israel and what it is rooted in. We also discuss how these issues affect us today.

This week we discuss the similarities of the present day "church" and the kingdom of Israel in the form of the 10 northern tribes. We discuss the misinterpretation of Amos and how it has fuelled replacement theology and supercessionism and ulitmately anti-semitism. We also look at similarities of this message with the letter to the congregation of Laodicea.

This week we examine chapter 4 and discuss the feminine nature of Israel as the wife of HaShem and what this teaches us.

This week we discuss how the Amos's words are directed at the whole of Israel and the principle of cause and effect, not just in the time of Amos for us in the world today. We discuss the principles that underlie apostasy and replacement theology and how they permeate the believing community and the world today.

This week we look at the judgments over Judah and Israel. We discuss the relationship of these passages with Mark 12 in the gospels and how they relate to Judah and Joseph
