Study the Bible with Arthur Bailey

This teaching addresses several issues related to Yeshua and the keeping of the Law.   

• Did Yeshua keep the Law of YeHoVaH or was He a lawbreaker? 
• Were the Pharisees and Sadducees keeping the Law of YeHoVaH or some other law? 
• Was there a difference between the law of the Pharisees and the law of the Sadducees? 
• Did the people of Yeshua’s day observe the Law given to Moses or the Law of the Pharisees and Sadducees? 
• What do people mean when they say that those who keep the Law have fallen from grace. 
• Why do people demonize and declare those who observe the Torah have fallen from grace even though they confess Yeshua as their Messiah? 

The answers to these questions and much more are discussed in this teaching. 

Moses, as God to Pharaoh, and Aaron, as Moses' prophet, were instructed by YeHoVaH to perform miracles before Pharaoh. The miracles demonstrated the power of the Most High in the sight of Pharaoh, his magician's, sorcerers, and wise men. Instead of yielding to the power of the Most High, performed through Moses and Aaron, Pharaoh's heart became unyielding. This resulted in hardship and extra labor for the Egyptians in order for them to survive. 

Join us as Moses and Aaron are instructed to perform miracles, signs, and wonders in this seemingly fruitless saga in the message, Moses & Aaron Work Miracles. 

In this portion of John, we see that Yeshua knew the world hated Him and that His brothers were a part of that world that hated Him.  At the Feast celebrations, no man spoke openly of Him for fear of the religious leaders.  The religious leaders had made open threats about killing Yeshua and they threatened to kick anyone who acknowledged Yeshua out of the synagogue. 

Over the course of Yeshua’s lifetime, He would have kept all of the Commanded Feasts in their appointed times.  During the course of Yeshua’s Ministry, He gave no indication that the Feasts would cease to be observed after His death, resurrection and ascension.  

Egypt was a land where its society and people worshiped many gods and was ruled by a king who surrounded himself with magicians, sorcerers, and wise men. It was to this land that YeHoVaH designated Moses as a god and his brother Aaron a prophet. If in fact Pharaoh, king of Egypt, was considered to be a god, as stated by many, YeHoVaH elevated Moses to be his equal. Likewise, Aaron, Moses' spokesperson, was a counterpart to the magicians, sorcerers, and wise men who surrounded Pharaoh. 

We pointed out last week that Messiah, the Word, became flesh.  When He says eat of my flesh and drink of my blood, He's speaking to them words that are Spirit, but they are hearing His words in the natural.  When you eat of His Word, consume His Word, you're eating His body and drinking His blood.  

He dwells in you because you are consuming His Word! It's not something you do once a month, or once a quarter, or once a year, it's something you do every single day, all day.  But if you're just simply memorizing His Word, learning His Word, and not applying or walking in His Word, then, you're following Him but you're not His Disciple.  

John 6:57  

As the living Father hath sent Me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth Me, even he shall live by Me. 

The back-and-forth saga between Moses, Pharaoh, YeHoVaH, and the Children of Israel is interrupted by Moses reflecting on his family tree. Moses focuses on Israel's first, second, and third sons born of Leah, the older sister of Rachel, Israel's favorite wife. What are Moses' reasons for only focusing on three of Israel and Leah's sons and not the rest of the sons of Israel? 

Join us Thursday for Searching the Scriptures as Moses reveals the revelation of YeHoVaH embedded in Moses' Family Tree. 

From the time of Moses up until the time of Yeshua, the people of Israel were looking for the one that Moses and the Prophets spoke about. This Prophet, the Almighty was going to send, the Children of Israel must Shema!  

Yeshua spent the bulk of His Ministry speaking to people who supposedly had the Word, but were following the traditions they had been taught as the Word. 

The people had eyes but could not see and ears but could not hear. They couldn't see the Messiah who was standing in front of them because their religion, their teachings, their traditions, blinded them to the truth of what is actually written!  

Afflicted, heavily burdened, and realizing they are in trouble, the Officers of the Children of Israel direct their grievances toward Moses and Aaron. Then Moses and Aaron return to YeHoVaH to ask why He had brought trouble on the people. 

Previously, YeHoVaH had revealed to Moses what He was going to do. However, YeHoVaH had not revealed to Moses how He was going to do it, the process, or the means by which He would accomplish what He had spoken. 

Join us in this continuing and intriguing saga of back and forth between Moses, Pharaoh, YeHoVaH, and the Children of Israel as they refuse to listen to Moses' instructions in the study, Israel Doesn't Listen. 

When Yeshua found out that the people were planning to try to force Him to be King, He departed and went into the mountain. Sometimes you have to get away from those who have an agenda for you that is contrary to your agenda.  It's dangerous if you don't have an agenda from YeHoVaH because you will find yourself being manipulated to fulfill somebody else's agenda.  

Yeshua sent His Disciples away by ship.  The ensuing events of Yeshua and Peter walking on the water hold life-lessons for us. 

• No matter how rough things are for you right now, it's important to recognize that YeHoVaH is right there in the midst of it with you. If you don't, you'll find yourself panicking or misinterpreting the things you see.  
• Don’t let fear consume you to such a degree that fear tells you that you can't, or you shouldn't, or something bad is going to happen.  
• Never discount the possibilities of what Father can do in your life. 
• Whenever you're dealing with confidence, doubt is always present and there's the opportunity to become afraid.  You have to press on and continue to press on. 

Father is not limited to any limitations that you have placed on yourself. 

The elders of Israel believed, bowed their heads, and worshipped upon hearing the news brought to them by Moses and Aaron. Truly, YeHoVaH had looked upon their afflictions! 

Moses and Aaron must now deliver YeHoVaH's message to Pharaoh; a message that will not be well received. This message would create hostility between the Children of Israel, of that generation, and Moses. However, the hostility toward Moses and YeHoVaH would continue long after Israel's deliverance from Egypt and for the rest of Moses' life. 

Join us in this portion of Exodus as Moses delivers YeHoVaH's message to Pharaoh informing him to Let My People Go.
