Study the Bible with Arthur Bailey

Apostle John was a disciple of Yeshua, and he was an eyewitness to the things that occurred with Yeshua.  Apostle John also writes about some of the things that took place with John the Immerser/Baptist.  John the Immerser was ministering to people who had knowledge of the coming Messiah.  Last week we talked about The Messiah, Elijah, and that Prophet.   

John the Immerser makes a statement in this passage that clearly reveals Yeshua as the Atonement sacrifice when he says, Behold the Lamb of Elohim which take away the sin of the world.  John has a worldview when he says that Father is not just concerned about Israel, He's concerned about the world.  

Almost every Passover, the phrase, “Behold the Lamb” or the “Lamb of God” is used in reference to Yeshua as the Passover Lamb.  In this passage, John is not referring to Yeshua as the Passover Lamb but as the Atonement Sacrifice for the sins of the world. 

Loaded down with as much food as they could carry, the sons of Israel departed from Egypt, headed back to the land of Canaan, only to be apprehended for theft by the servant of Joseph. The stage has been set as the plan of Joseph comes into full view. The brothers are gripped with fear not knowing what is about to happen. Joseph then reveals himself to his brothers as savior, father, ruler, and lord. 

Join Arthur for the climax of this suspenseful drama between Joseph and his brothers in the message Joseph, Lord of Egypt. 

In this portion of the Teaching, the Apostle John presents the testimony of John the Baptist.  John the Baptist speaks of Messiah, in the flesh, revealing the Almighty through Himself.   

John the Baptist is calling the Israelites to repentance because the Torah is not being taught by the religious leaders.  They're teaching the traditions of the Elders that had been passed down from generation to generation. 

When John the Baptist came baptizing in the Jordan, word got out to the religious leaders who sent Priests and Levites to enquire if John was one of those whom they anticipated was to come: 

• They were looking for the Messiah. 
• They were looking for Elijah. 
• They were looking for That Prophet.  

Join us as we listen in to John the Baptist’s conversation with the Priests and Levites, and discuss the distinction between those who were anointed, and The Anointed One.   

After a successful second journey to Egypt, with Benjamin in tow, to secure grain for their father and families to keep them from perishing, the sons of Israel are about to face their greatest challenge. Benjamin’s role in YeHoVaH’s plan to bring salvation to the tribes of Israel and begin the process of developing Israel as a nation according to a prophetic promise is almost complete. 

Join Arthur as the brothers prepare to leave Egypt and return home, when they are confronted with an unexpected test that would set Judah up to exchange his life for Benjamin in his effort to save Israel. 

John sends a clear message in his opening remark, “In the Beginning, Yeshua was There.”   In this teaching, we will explore John's understanding and perception of who Messiah was and is. He establishes the Oneness of YeHoVaH and the deity of Messiah in the same statement.  Yeshua was with YeHoVaH from the very beginning and that nothing was made that Yeshua did not make.  

John explains that the Word/Yeshua became flesh at a certain time, but the Word that became flesh, was from the very beginning. It is very important that we do not separate the Messiah who was flesh, from the Messiah who was in the beginning.   

Join us for this thought provoking teaching which may cause many to reevaluate their belief system. 

After consuming the grain, they had received from Egypt, the sons of Israel must return to Egypt for more grain to keep from perishing. Israel’s sons convince him to let Benjamin go with them or they would not return to Egypt. 

In this episode, Arthur explains how Benjamin, Joseph’s brother, becomes a critical piece of the puzzle of YeHoVaH’s plan to bring salvation to the tribes of Israel and begin the process of developing Israel as a nation according to a prophetic promise. 

The opening statement of John’s Gospel establishes the oneness of YeHoVaH and the deity of Messiah in the same statement.  In addition to discussing these facts, we will answer four questions.

1. Who wrote The Gospel of John? 

2. When was The Gospel of John written? 

3. To Whom was The Gospel of John written? 

4. Why was The Gospel of John written?

During the famine of Israel’s days, YeHoVaH prepares the way for the preservation of the Children of Israel by giving Joseph a series of dreams.  YeHoVaH then sends Joseph to Egypt, ahead of his brothers, setting the stage for the fulfillment of Joseph’s dream of reigning over and having dominion over his brothers as The Lord of the Land.  Don’t miss any of the tense and emotion-filled moments unveiled by Arthur in this portion of Israel’s history. 

The sins of the world made it impossible for there to be righteous fellowship between YeHoVaH and His creation. Redemption was about much more than simply saving man from his sins. Mankind had lost its way with no hope and no way to return to YeHoVaH in righteousness and fellowship with the Creator. YeHoVaH’s plan to redeem man and His creation providing a pathway back to Him had been put in play after the fall of man in the garden and materialized at the cross with Yeshua’s sacrifice for the sins of the world. 

In the final Chapter of Matthew’s Gospel, all seemed to be lost as Yeshua’s disciples, who had hoped that He was the one who was going to redeem Israel, returned to normal life in despair and unbelief of what Yeshua had taught them about what would happen three days after His death. 

Yeshua’s resurrected Life was committed to empowering His disciples on how to live in the Kingdom of Heaven as a man on earth, how to please YeHoVaH through obedience to His Commands, how to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit, and how to make disciples of the nations as He had discipled them. 

Abraham, the first person referred to as a Hebrew in Scripture, was given the promise to become the father of many nations. Abraham never became a nation. However, through Abraham’s son Isaac, and then Isaac’s son Jacob (whose name was changed to Israel by YeHoVaH), the promise given to Abraham takes shape. Long before the sons of Israel became the Hebrew Nation of Israel, a Hebrew ruled the nation of Egypt in which Israel grew to become a nation.
 
Join Arthur as he continues the remarkable story of how YeHoVaH promoted a Hebrew named Joseph, a descendant of Abraham, to become the ruler of Egypt and thereby fulfilled two Biblical prophecies in the message “When a Hebrew Ruled Egypt”.
