These leaders now needed to be trained in the more complex civil laws so they would understand them fully and be able to judge with wisdom. The scriptures were written to a people of a different time and culture than us and therefore a simple reading of them can be misleading unless we are taught the nuances of the ancient culture it was written to before applying them to current times and cultures. Pastor Richard discusses the rebellious and those who scoff. How are they similar? When is it a sin to rebel against leaders? Who is the angel The LORD sends ahead of the people? Who is Metatron? How do we live righteously in exile? Pastor Richard discusses all of these this week in Mishpatim.This week our Haftorah teaching is delivered by Ro'ah Alpha from Jeremiah 34:8-22, and the New Covenant E-drash is delivered by Brother Mark from Hebrews 9:15-22.We hope and pray that you find blessing in our teachings. We ask that you please join us each week as we dig deep into scripture to learn more about the God of Israel, and reveal the Messiah throughout the Old Testament.Pastor Richard CortesThe Foundation of The Word Outreach Ministrieswww.thefoundationoftheword.org
