Searching the Scriptures with Watchman Alexander

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce to you my friend Taylor Joseph. We met while he was living in Central Texas last summer. He's since moved back to his home state of California, but he came to visit Amanda and I for a few days prior to Hear the Watchmen 2018, where he functioned as Lead Coordinator for Mike and Jeannie.

Reportedly, there has recently been a surge in the number of Messianics and other Christian Israelites who are denying that Yeshua is Messiah. This is a tragedy of the highest order, for it is written,

​Rather than continue with our current study of Genesis, I've decided to pause it and dedicate this episode to preventing further destruction by the defectors and Jewish anti-missionaries so active these days.

After a one-month hiatus due to the demands of creating an online course, we're back to continue our journey through Genesis.

Our last episode was the first in a series called Laying a Foundation, where we began a survey of important concepts in Scripture, with Genesis 1:1 as our starting-point. We left off talking about the fact that there is no singular form of the word heaven in Hebrew, and we noted that the spiritual realm is part of the greater Hebraic concept of the heavens. Then we briefly talked about the fact that YHVH used a firmament (Hebrew: raqia) to make a space between the waters above and the waters below, and the space in-between the water is part of the heavens. But what is the firmament? Is it a hard surface or the expanse of outer space?

We're going back to the beginning, but that doesn't mean we're going back to basics. This episode kicks off the Laying a Foundation series, which is intended to help listeners develop a truly biblical worldview. I take a fine-toothed comb to the Book of Genesis, defining terms, making connections with extra-biblical scriptures, and exploring a possible intersection with scientific research.

Jon Pounders of Now You See TV joins me to talk about the advanced capabilities granted to humankind by the fallen Watchers.

Author Todd Bennett gives listeners an introduction to a growing movement that seeks to return Christians to the Hebraic roots of their Faith. This Second Reformation is picking up steam for good reason as people become exposed via the internet to biblical concepts which seminary men never preach about (or never preach from the correct historical perspective). Are you ready for the fullest expression of Kingdom life? Start here.

Christian Jose Polanco took out his phone and started recording when his 16-year old unbelieving nephew received a vision that left him a blubbering mess [note: this was a waking vision, not a dream]. I came across the audio of that incident, which had been shared with the hosts of A Minute the Midnite, and knew immediately that it was a genuine message from YHVH. 

Picking up where I left off last time, I finish discussing the meaning of the fall holy days (mo'ediym) of YHVH. If you're unsure whether or not to treat Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) as a mournful day, I offer some insight on that topic in the first half of this episode.

We have just entered into the Fall holy days, so it's a good time to discuss the prophetic significance of those divinely appointed times. Pivotal events in redemptive history occurred on the Spring holy days in the past, and climactic events will occur on the Fall holy days in the future. In this episode, I begin talking about how God's purposes will be accomplished on Yom Teruah, Yom Kippur, and Sukkot at the end of the age.
