"But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment."

📚 Matthew 12:36 NASB

"“For this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 34 They will not teach again, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them,” declares the Lord, “for I will forgive their wrongdoing, and their sin I will no longer remember.”"

📚 Jeremiah 31:33-34 NASB

"12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the actual words of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food. 13 For everyone who partakes only of milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is an infant."

📚 Hebrews 5:12-13 NASB

Faith is a journey. Our relationship with God is a journey. And journeys have highs and lows, twists and turns, detours, and everything in between. Sometimes our journey takes us through scenic paths and paved roads, other times we're in the wilderness traversing rocky terrain. What's more, we're not all on the same journey. So let's talk about some different aspects of this journey and how they affect us and those around us.

"1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “When a person sins and acts unfaithfully against the Lord, and disavows the rightful claim of his neighbor regarding a deposit or a security entrusted to him, or regarding robbery, or he has extorted from his neighbor, 3 or has found what was lost and lied about it and sworn falsely, so that he sins regarding any of the things that people do; 4 then it shall be, when he sins and becomes guilty, that he shall restore what he took by robbery or acquired by extortion, or the deposit which was entrusted to him, or the lost property which he found, 5 or anything about which he swore falsely; he shall make restitution for it in full and add to it a fifth more. He shall give it to the one to whom it belongs on the day he presents his guilt offering."

📚 Leviticus 6:1-5 NASB

How we treat our neighbor is of the utmost importance. It's something we don't often focus on in church but today we're going to stop and remember 2 important things: Perspective and Accountability.

"2 And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will stir up the entire empire against the realm of Greece."

📚 Daniel 11:2 NASB

Daniel 11 covers a lot of history! In this episode we're talking about the time between Darius the Mede and Alexander the Great (the shift from Persia to Greece as the major power in the Middle East).

"32 But I want you to be free from concern. One who is unmarried is concerned about the things of the Lord, how he may please the Lord; 33 but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how he may please his wife, 34 and his interests are divided. The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband. 35 I say this for your own benefit, not to put a restraint on you, but to promote what is appropriate and to secure undistracted devotion to the Lord."

📚 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 NASB

Dating is hard; I think everyone can agree with that statement. Most of us (women, atleast) assumed we would be married well before our 30s, but alot of us aren't. There's a lot of negativity out there in the discussion on why dating is hard and why people are single, but that doesn't really help anyone. This episode isn't about what anyone is doing wrong or even about what people are doing right, it's just a summary of experiences and nuances that seem to get left out in this conversation.

In this episode I mention the difficulty of defining who is Christian: Check out my previous episodes on this topic...

“19 Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are: sexual immorality, impurity, indecent behavior, 20 idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions, 21 envy, drunkenness, carousing, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, just as I have forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. ”

📚 Galatians 5:17-23 NASB

Christian Nationalism is on the rise in the US and is front and center in the coming election. I've been working through history and prophecy to get to a discussion on this topic centered around how it relates to prophecy. There's a lot of material to work through so I wanted to just dive right in. We'll come back to this topic after we get through all the prophecies to tie everything together. For now, let just use the basics to talk about the reason separation of church and state is actually a good thing.

In this episode I mention paganism creeping in the church: Check out my previous episodes on this topic...

The 70 Weeks Prophecy is foundational to believing in Yeshua is the promised Messiah. In this episode we're digging in to the meat of the prophecy and talking about the amazing timeline God revealed to us.

"22. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. "

📚 Daniel 9:22 KJV

Before we actually get into the interpretation, can we talk about the importance of this prophecy and the major flaws with the Futurist interpretation of the prophecy?

References & Footnotes:

1. Bible translations are created using a method on the specturm from word for word (KJV) or thought for throught (The Message). Word for word means each word was translated as is to create the translate; this can sometimes be hard to read because the linguistics don't transfer from language to language. Thought for thought is when a phrase or thought is translated instead. This allows the translator to create smoother sentences, however it also requires the translator to interjet their interpretation of the passage into the translation. The Message is about as far on the thought for thought spectrum as you can go. There's alot added in (and possibly take out). It's just not a reliable translation.

7. I didn't mention the fact that the destruction of the Temple happens outside of the 70 weeks, that's because no matter how you interpret this passage that remains true. We'll chat about that a bit in the next episode.

"26. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. 27. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it. "

📚 Daniel 8:26-27 KJV

The next vision Daniel has (Daniel 8) features a ram and he goat. This vision is about Medo-Persia and Greece—the Bible actually confirms this explicitly! There is still a bit of debated prophecy, namely the beginning and end of the 2300 days, well also, how long is 2300 days? It sounds like a dumb question, but once we start talking about it you might start asking yourself the same question...

"

Daniel 7 is a lot. A lot! We started to work our way through this in part 1. This episode we'll finish up that best parts of the vision and then start discussing the interpretation.
