In this episode, we dive deep into the weight and significance of John 15:1: “I am the true vine."

What did He really mean by that? And why did He say "true" vine instead of just "vine?"

This episode serves to be just one example of how Yahusha’s words are not isolated sayings, but direct fulfillments of the Tanakh (Old Testament). From Isaiah’s vineyard prophecy to Jeremiah’s broken branches to Ezekiel's lamentation of the branches being consumed by fire, we trace the full biblical narrative of Israel as Yahuah’s vine—called to bear fruit, yet ultimately broken through disobedience.

But the story doesn’t end in judgment. It ends with restoration. 

Yahusha steps in as the True Vine—the faithful embodiment of everything Israel was always meant to be. Through Him, right covenant standing is restored, the vineyard is renewed, and both natural and wild branches are brought into one covenant household.

This episode also unpacks:

--The deeper meaning behind “the way, the truth, and the life” in light of Torah

--The prophetic significance of the “choice vine” and Messiah’s fulfillment of it

--The parable of the vineyard (Matthew 21) and what it reveals about the Kingdom

--What it truly means to “bear fruit” and abide in Messiah

If you’ve ever wrestled with what it really means to be part of the Father’s vineyard, I hope that this episode will challenge and deepen your perspective.

As we move forward in this podcast season, in this particular episode, the conversation shifts from WHAT to do, toward HOW and WHY we live in covenant. I want to address one of the most common questions: “Which commandments are we supposed to keep?” I want to address this by actually challenging the assumption that the answer can be reduced to a simple checklist or summary. Instead, I want to invite you into a deeper, more relational understanding of Torah as the loving instructions of the Father. I want to reframe that question to invite a lifestyle approach to practically walking out Scripture. 

A central theme of the episode is that obedience is not about mechanical rule-keeping, but understanding the heart of obedience. We are going to revisit a previous episode that addresses the fact that there is actually no Hebrew word that means “obey” in Scripture. It truly is about heart alignment. True covenant living goes beyond outward actions and calls for inner transformation (“circumcision of the heart”).

Walking in covenant with the Most High after walking through the door of salvation (which is Messiah) is rich in its understanding. It’s a lifestyle. So, I want this episode to serve as an encouragement and a challenge. Salvation may be the doorway, but covenant is the house—and learning to live in it is a lifelong pursuit of knowing the Father and learning to walk in His ways. That has always been the purpose of grace.

In this episode, this series on “covenant” is being brought full circle by tracing a single, unified thread running from Abraham to Messiah. Rather than presenting Scripture as a story of replaced covenants, what I am attempting to emphasize is continuity—revealing that Yah’s redemptive plan has always been rooted in ONE unbreakable promise.

At the center of it all is the distinction between the Abrahamic covenant and the Mosaic covenant. The promise given to Abraham in Genesis 12, and the covenant confirmation in Genesis 15 is shown to be unilateral, irrevocable, and grounded in faith, securing inheritance through the promised Seed, identified as Messiah. 

In contrast, the covenant at Sinai establishes a conditional, national framework for how Israel was to live as a kingdom of priests within that promise. These covenants are not in opposition to anything, but complementary parts of a larger design and plan. Promise precedes law, and inheritance is rooted in Yahuah’s oath. This is where understanding Paul is so important, yet so widely misunderstood today. My hope is that this series has brought some clarity to this topic.  

This episode highlights a critical turning point at the golden calf incident, where Israel’s failure led to a shift from a kingdom of priests to a nation with priests, introducing the Levitical system as a mediated and temporary structure. This system—though holy and beautiful and purposeful—is presented as preparatory, pointing forward to something greater (this is something that will be discussed through the prophets in coming episodes). 

That “something greater” is the restoration of the Melchizedek priesthood through Messiah. He becomes the perfect sacrifice, bears the covenant curses, and inaugurates a new administration of access to the Most High. This “New Covenant,” prophesied in Jeremiah 31, does not discard the law but internalizes it—writing it on the hearts of believers and enabling true covenant faithfulness from within.

A key theme of understanding covenant is understanding access: what was lost through covenant breach is restored through Messiah. The Levitical system regulated access through repeated sacrifices and external mediation, but under the Melchizedek order, believers are invited to “draw near” with confidence through a once-for-all sacrifice and an eternal High Priest.

Ultimately, this episode reframes the conversation around Torah, covenant, and obedience. It is meant to challenge the idea of lawlessness while also rejecting a return to shadow systems, and instead calling us into the fullness of what those shadows pointed toward. Fulfillment is not abolition—it is completion.

“Recovering the Melchizedek line” means rediscovering our identity as a restored kingdom of priests, living in the reality of Yah’s promise to Abraham (and his SeedMessiah) through a transformed heart. This episode serves as both a conclusion and a launching point, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the meaning and implications of the Melchizedek priesthood in the episodes to come.

I can’t wait.

In this episode, we are going to explore one of the most debated questions within the body: What does it mean when certain verses in the Bible say something was “against us,” “abolished,” or “changed”?

Many Believers read verses like Colossians 2:14, Ephesians 2:15, and Hebrews 7 and assume that Yah’s law itself was removed. But when we step back and read Scripture carefully we begin to see a much bigger picture. And this bigger picture requires us to go back to Genesis. That is why we started there in this podcast season. 

Throughout the Bible, Yah’s commandments are described as perfect, righteous, and life-giving. So how could something “good” also be “against us?” The key is understanding the difference between the spirit of the law and the priestly ordinances and administrations that were added because of transgression. 

In this episode, we look at passages that speak about things being annulled, abolished, or changed, and we examine them through the lens of the priesthood. Scripture reveals that Messiah did not abolish God’s instructions; rather, He fulfilled the prophetic plan that was already written in the Torah. With His coming, there was a change in priestly administration, returning to the older and eternal order of the Melchizedek priesthood—a priesthood that existed long before Sinai.

When we understand this shift, the language of “change” and “abolishment” no longer appears as a contradiction. Instead, it reveals the unfolding of Yahuah’s redemptive plan. What seems like disruption is actually restoration—bringing His people back to the promises given to Abraham and the calling to become a kingdom of priests.

I’ve never shared a disclaimer when introducing podcast episodes, but this episode is a very technical and tedious study through Scripture. It requires focus, patience, and a willingness to slow down because it is very detail-heavy. This is one that will challenge the way you think about the “Mosaic Covenant.” Also—I encourage you to listen to Episode 9 (the previous episode) before listening to this one. 

In this episode, we will tackle the chronology of the ordering of events and the giving of commandments in the books of Moses. The question we will be addressing is: Are the books of Moses written in strict chronological order...or is there something deeper going on?

We will carefully walk through the timeline from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab and uncover how the Torah is actually structured—showing that while the narrative often flows forward, the commandments and events are not always recorded in the order they happened. This distinction changes EVERYTHING.

We will cover:
--When Aaron and his sons were truly consecrated
--When and why the Levites were set apart
--How the Golden Calf incident became a turning point for priesthood and mediation
--The difference between appointment vs. installation of the Levites
--Why some passages in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy appear “out of order”
--What it means that Israel went from a kingdom of priests to a kingdom with priests

By comparing Scripture with Scripture, we begin to piece together a more accurate timeline—one that reveals how the Levitical priesthood was established after the Golden Calf incident, and how that shift impacts covenant understanding.

This episode will also piece these findings together to form a bigger picture regarding the distinction between the covenants in Moses, the role of mediation, and how this ultimately points us to the greater High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.

Throughout this episode, you may be provoked to think, what’s the big deal, and why does this even matter? 

It matters because understanding the Melchizedek Priesthood matters. 

This episode may challenge you. But this is not a surface-level conversation—it’s an invitation into deeper study.

In this episode, we are going to explore and challenge a common assumption that people have about Scripture: that everything under Moses belongs to a single “Mosaic Covenant.” But what if the Bible itself actually points to two distinct covenants administered during Moses’ leadership?

This episode will begin with examining 2 Timothy 2:15 and what it really means to “rightly divide the word of truth.” Paul doesn’t tell us to rightly divide truth from error, but to divide the truth. This suggests that Scripture contains important distinctions that must be carefully understood.

One of the key texts in this discussion is Deuteronomy 29:1, which explicitly mentions a covenant made in the land of Moab that is “besides” the covenant made earlier at Mount Sinai.

The questions that will be presented are:
1. If Israel was originally called to be a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19), how did they become a nation with priests limited to the sons of Aaron?
2. Why were the tablets of the covenant placed inside the ark, while the Book of the Law was placed beside it?
2. What role did the golden calf incident play in the shift toward the Levitical priesthood?
4. And how does the priesthood of Messiah relate to the earlier order of Melchizedek?

By examining the timeline between Sinai and the plains of Moab (and continuing this examination in the next episode, Episode 10), I am proposing that Israel originally entered a covenant that called the entire nation into priestly relationship with the Most High. After the rebellion with the golden calf, however, the tribe of Levi was separated, establishing the mediated Levitical priesthood that governed Israel’s worship and sacrificial system.
Last but certainly not least, we will look at how the New Testament speaks about drawing near to Elohim through Messiah, who restores access to the eternal priestly order—an order connected to Melchizedek rather than the Levitical system.

This episode will invite you to reconsider how the covenants unfold throughout Scripture and why understanding these distinctions is essential for properly understanding both Moses and Messiah.

In the next episode, we’ll dive deeper and more tediously into the chronology of the books of Moses, the consecration of the Levites, and how placing these events in the correct order sheds new light on covenant and priesthood.

In this episode, we step into one of the most foundational covenants in all of Scripture — the covenant made with Abraham.

Rather than asking, “Which covenant are we under?”, we explore the better question: Where do we stand in the unfolding covenant story? From Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we trace the promise of land, seed, and blessing — and uncover how this oath-based covenant finds its fulfillment in Messiah.

We examine:

• The unconditional promise of Genesis 12
• The unilateral covenant of Genesis 15
• The prophetic imagery of the smoking furnace and burning lamp
• The Melchizedek priesthood connection
• Paul’s argument in Galatians and Romans that connect us back to Abraham
• The difference between promise and law
• The 400 vs. 430-year prophecy
• How Messiah is the promised Seed through whom the nations are blessed

This episode reveals that the gospel is not a new invention — it is the fulfillment of Yahuah’s original promise to Abraham. Messiah does not cancel the covenant; He embodies and secures it.

The Abrahamic covenant is about Promise → Identity → Inheritance.
And what began with a promise under the stars is still unfolding today.

Next, we move into the Mosaic Covenant — how it fits into the same covenant story and why understanding both is essential to seeing the full picture of redemption.

In this episode, we explore the Davidic Covenant — the unconditional promise Yahuah made to King David that his throne would be established forever. By focusing on passages in Psalm 89, Psalm 132, and 2 Samuel 7, we see the promise of an eternal kingdom flowing through David’s lineage.

This covenant doesn’t stand alone. It builds on the story we’ve been tracing from Eden and Noah, revealing one continuous plan of redemption. Ultimately, it points to Yahusha, the Son of David — not only as Savior, but as eternal King and High Priest whose reign restores what was lost. 

From dominion in Eden to the promise of an unshakable throne, Scripture tells one unified story. And the King at the center of it fulfills every promise. HalleluYAH!

In this episode, we begin tracing covenant through Scripture starting in the Garden of Eden and moving to the time of Noah. We explore how covenant is not an “Old vs. New” system, but one continuous, unfolding story of restoration.

From Eden, we see the original covenant pattern: relationship, instruction, obedience, dominion, and consequence. Adam’s failure brought exile and death—but Messiah, the “last Adam,” came to restore what was lost through perfect obedience. What began in a garden ends in a restored creation, with access to the tree of life restored to those who walk in covenant faithfulness.

We also examine the covenant with Noah—an unconditional promise marked by the rainbow—revealing Yah’s mercy and faithfulness to all people (and animals!). Together, these covenants show that Scripture tells one unified redemption story, pointing forward to Messiah and the restoration of all things.

And we’re just getting started.

What does it really mean hen Scripture says that a covenant was “cut?"

In this episode, we will explore the ancient Hebrew understanding of covenant as a blood-ratified oath. A covenant is not a casual promise, but a life-binding agreement. From Jeremiah 34 to Hebrews 10, we will unpack why blood was central to covenant-cutting, what the Hebrew word b’riyt reveals, and how this transforms the way we understand the New Covenant in Messiah.

Yahusha did not abolish covenant — He restored a broken one through His own blood. The Torah was never the problem; the heart was.

If we misunderstand covenant, we misunderstand obedience, identity, and what Messiah truly accomplished. There is nothing more foundational to Scripture than understanding what "covenant" truly means. 

In the next episode, we trace covenant back to the beginning — to Eden.

Yah bless!
