Messianic Torah Observant Israel

Continuing with Paul’s Corinthian congregation, in his second letter he reaffirms his leadership and authority under Messiah (2 Cor 3:1). Consider that the congregates were primarily Jewish under a system that built fences around the Torah and who knew the Torah from a “letter of the law” perspective in contrast to the new teaching about the “spirit of the law”.

In this message to the Body of Messiah, Rabbi Steve Berkson breaks down some of the difficult concepts from the apostle Paul that are misunderstand and, therefore, misquoted by many to declare that the law (Torah) has been abolished.

In one of his letters to the Corinthians Paul talks about the cup that Yeshua gave to his disciples and said, this is my blood of the renewed covenant. (1 Cor 11:25) Why was Paul talking about this cup? What does it have to do with the covenant? What was the issue in his congregation?

What does “immersed into Mosheh (Moses)” mean?

Why does Jeremiah chapter 3 say the Ark of the Covenant will not be built again or remembered?

Rabbi Steve Berkson traverses the book of Jeremiah bringing some clarity to the scriptures that are intended to give the reader rebuke, instruction and hope. Once again we learn that teachers who have a right heart toward the Father will be used by Him to instruct His people.

Are there “Gentile Believers”? Who are the “sons of the foreigners” spoken of in Isaiah 56? How does one “join themselves” to Yahweh?

Covering Isaiah chapters 55 and 56, Rabbi Steve Berkson emphasizes the need to aim higher and elevate your thoughts through having a relationship with the Word of The Creator. He also spends a fair amount of time on “guarding” the Torah as opposed to merely keeping or observing it.

Then, getting started in Jeremiah chapter 31, Rabbi Steve relates how the Covenant at Sinai was actually a marriage ceremony between Yahweh and His people. From that, Rabbi Steve gives vital instruction to those who would enter into marriage and those who would renew their vows.

The faith/belief/trust we as humans profess in something that is greater than ourselves ultimately boils down to relationship. This relationship is being one with our Creator, our Father and our Messiah, in the context of or vehicle known as “covenant.” For this reason, to learn about this covenant is critical to the health of the relationship both vertical (with the Creator) and horizontal (with each other).

In this episode Rabbi Steve Berkson lays out more to learn from Proverbs chapter 5 as it pertains to wisdom, understanding and knowledge in keeping covenant with our Creator.
