Study the Bible with Arthur Bailey

The first revival recorded in the Bible happened in the land of Samaria. After receiving revelations from Yeshua, the woman went into the city and gave her testimony. She told the people to come see a man who told me about myself.   

The people came to see Yeshua and besought Him that He would tarry with them. He had a two day Revival!  The people said we believe, not because of the woman’s saying, but we have heard Him ourselves and know that this is indeed the Messiah, the Savior of the world.  

We must speak the word that has been revealed to us and share our testimony of how Father brought us out of the world into relationship with Him.  Our testimony can encourage other people to desire to know Him.  Once their connection to Father is made, Father can began to reveal Himself and their relationship in Him is strengthened because of their hearing and doing what He has spoken.  

The writing of Moses known as Exodus, the second book of the Torah, a.k.a. the Law, a.k.a. the Commandments of God, opens by chronicling the Children of Israel who came into Egypt during the famine. Israel, the deceased father of the Children of Israel, has been carried back into the land of Canaan to be buried in the cave of Machpelah.  

Before their sojourn in Egypt, YeHoVaH had sworn prophetically to Abraham to come to the aid of the Children of Israel and deliver them. Therefore, before Joseph died, he reminded the Children of Israel of the promise YeHoVaH made to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob/Israel and made them swear to carry his bones from Egypt to the land of promise after YeHoVaH came to their aid.  

Join us as the prophecy begins to unfold in this teaching, The Prophecy Begins. 

Today we are going to talk about True Worshippers. When Yeshua tells the Samaritan woman her life history, which she hasn’t shared with Him, she perceives that Yeshua is a Prophet and the conversation transitions from a natural to a religious conversation. 

When the woman mentioned that the Samaritans did not worship in Jerusalem, the location of the Temple where the religious Jews worshipped, Yeshua explained that the emphasis was never to be on the place. The emphasis was always to be on your relationship with the Almighty.  Yeshua said that to worship YeHoVaH in spirit is to worship Him in mind, soul, and body, in accordance to truth.   

It is impossible to offer true worship unless you know the truth. 

The writings of Moses, given to him by YeHoVaH, present a continual journey from creation, to the deliverance of the Children of Israel out of Egypt, and the giving of the Torah, a.k.a. the Law, a.k.a. the Commandments of God.  

This week for Searching the Scriptures, we make the transition from the book of Moses known as Genesis into Exodus also known as Sh'mot in Hebrew. Join us on this continuous journey as we discover interesting facts and answer probing questions about Exodus in the study of Exodus - The Introduction. 

The Teaching today is about Jacob's Well and the Samaritans, with the subtopic, A Visitation with Yeshua.  During the time of Yeshua, there were three regional groups: Galilee, Samaria, and Judea; the people were identified by their region.   

 Samaria was located in the center of Israel and was the land given to Ephraim and Manasseh, the sons of Joseph.  Joseph was the son of Jacob whose name was changed to Israel. The Samaritan woman identifies herself as a descendant of Jacob.   

 We will discuss the history that leads to the encounter between Yeshua and the woman at the well. If you don't know the history, you won’t understand what is happening in John Chapter 4.   

 During their conversation, Yeshua ministers to the woman about living water in reference to the Holy Spirit.  Yeshua also speaks to the woman about everlasting life. 

Joseph’s character had been tested and proven by YeHoVaH through the many trials Joseph had gone through in preparation for making him a great man in the world. After the death and burial of Israel, his father, the brothers of Joseph became concerned that Joseph would remember their hatred, jealousy, and evil committed against him and pay them back for their wrongs. 

Join Arthur as Joseph reassures his brothers and promises them he would take care of them and their children. Joseph demonstrates the power of forgiveness. 

Mankind's existence in the midst of religious institutions has caused people to inadvertently question whether or not Messiah is actually coming back.  Some who say that they are Believers are certainly not living as if He is coming back today. The Bible tells us that we are to watch and pray.  We are to always be mindful of the coming return of Messiah.  

 This teaching takes an in-depth look into various aspects of Everlasting Life.   

• Is Everlasting Life and Eternal Life the same? 
• How do I inherit Everlasting Life? 
• How is Everlasting Life obtained? 
• When does Everlasting Life start? 

What do those who have Everlasting Life do now?  We wait and look for His return.  In the meantime, we renew our mind in the Word, we set our affections on things above, we put to death the deeds of the flesh, and we endure to the end. 

After receiving the good news that his son Joseph is alive, Israel moves his family to Egypt.  Near the end of his life, Israel adopts and blesses Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.  Israel prophesies their future to them, then prophesies the future of his other 12 sons who are identified as the 12 tribes of Israel.
 
Israel had spent the last 17 years of his life in Egypt. After prophesying to his sons, Israel’s last living request was that he be buried in the land of his forefathers. Join Arthur as we look at the final chapter of Israel’s life in the message, The Death and Burial of Israel. 
 

Chapter 3 Part 3 resumes the conversation between Yeshua and Nicodemus, the Pharisee and teacher of the Children of Israel.  Yeshua shares with Nicodemus indisputable knowledge that had already been written through the Prophets about being born again. 

When we are born again, it is solely the work of the Almighty, but it is the work of the Word.  How you conduct yourself is going to demonstrate whether or not the Word is actually what you’ve been born into.  We should be coming into the light and out of darkness.  Nicodemus, who came to Yeshua at night will come into the light, where it is clearly seen by all that He is a Believer in Messiah. 

Join us as we discuss the requirements of being born again.  Being born again requires repentance from works or actions contrary to the Word of YeHoVaH.  Being Born again requires faith in YeHoVaH through Messiah Yeshua.  Being Born of water is receiving Yeshua the Word made flesh.  Being Born of the Spirit is Being Baptized with the Holy Spirit.  This baptism is when Father puts His Spirit in you which is a subsequent action after you receive the Word made flesh. 

This week we continue in Genesis 49 where Israel has called his sons together and is speaking to them about their future and their posterity.  Last week, we heard the pronouncements over Rueben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah.  
 
Join Arthur as Israel continues to speak prophetically to his sons and reveals the future of their posterity beyond their stay, captivity, and deliverance from bondage in Egypt.
