Issachar B7D Fellowship
Arts & Culture Podcasts
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you from our Lord, Saviour and King.
God has an urgent word for His people today so that, like the men of Issachar, we understand the times and know what we should do. What He wants to speak to us is apparent in the Bible when we consider it through the perspective of the 7 Days of Creation (B7D).
And His word is this - we are fast approaching the end where we will be tested in unprecedented ways. We therefore need to equip ourselves now in our fellowship groups so that we can uphold one another and others in the Body of Christ to keep the faith until our Lord returns.
The Issachar B7D Fellowship is our response in obedience to His word. Through it, God equips us by His Spirit, Word and people. As you study God's Logos together in your own fellowship groups, may His Spirit and Rhema transform you into such future and Christ-ready fellowships in His Kairos time.
For His Glory,
Stephen and Wei Ling Lim

1 Nov 2019 (#4 Session 4) Day 4 - Prophetic Narrative & Rhema (Part 3 - Day of the Lord & Messiah)
10/30/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Previously, we saw how the Old Testament Prophets warned Israel that God would soon discipline and exile His people. Not only that, God would use the very enemies of Israel as His instruments of discipline before these pagan nations were in turn judged by Him for their wickedness and cruelty. All these took place according to God’s word but that was not the end. The time is almost upon us now when Israel and the Church will again be...

Annual Introduction - AM 5979 (29 September 2019 - 18 September 2020)
9/28/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to the Issachar B7D Fellowship! Sunset today (Sunday, 29 September 2019) marks the beginning of a Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashanah - "head of the year") with the blowing of the Shofar (Ram's horn) to commemorate the Feast of Trumpets (Yom Teruah - "Day of Trumpets"). More importantly, this Feast is prophetic of Christ's return at the Last Trumpet. If we go by the official Jewish calendar, we are entering the Hebrew year AM 5780 (AM or Anno Mundi means year after...

15 September 2019 (#1 Session 4) Day 4 - The Prophets
9/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Previously, we learnt of God’s purpose for Israel to indirectly point to Jesus and pave the way for His coming and return through various aspects about the nation. But God didn’t stop at just that - He also spoke plainly to His people and to all mankind about Jesus (although God did not identify Jesus by name then) by sending Prophets throughout Israel’s history to proclaim His Rhema in His Kairos. These Old Testament Prophets, who guided...

1 September 2019 (#12 Session 3) Day 4 - Reflections (For Such a Time as This)
8/30/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! The book of Esther is unique in that there was no mention of God throughout. Yet God’s hand was clearly at work through a young Jewish girl who had the courage to stand and speak His Rhema in His Kairos. As a result, God’s people was rescued from total destruction. The evil in Esther’s time was the same evil that wiped out six million Jews during the Jewish Holocaust of World War Two. It is a solemn reminder that God’s enemies, led by...

15 August 2019 (#11 Session 3) Signs of the Times
8/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Before we continue any further, I want us to consider the signs of the times found in our study of God’s Word so far. This is because we are called to understand them and not be like the hypocritical religious leaders in Jesus’ time who were not satisfied with those signs already given to them but demanded more. Ultimately, such individuals will never be convinced and will face the consequences of their unbelief. We learnt earlier that we...

15 July 2019 (#9 Session 3) Day 4 - History of Israel (Part 3 - Israel from Yehoshua to Yeshua)
7/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In our last session, we saw the importance of kingship, love and obedience in the kingdom life of God’s nation and His people. When we examine Israel’s history from the time of Yehoshua (Joshua) to Yeshua (Jesus), we find that failure in precisely these areas was what ultimately led to the country’s downfall. It didn’t start out this way though. Following the Exodus and wilderness years, we are told that the Israelites under Joshua served...

1 July 2019 (#8 Session 3) Day 4 - History of Israel (Part 2 - Lessons from the Wilderness)
6/29/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In today’s session, we will cover the period from the time the Israelites left Mt Sinai until the next generation stood by the banks of the Jordan river forty years later, and the prophetic lessons we can learn from their wilderness journey. First, when Israel set out to conquer the Promised Land, the nation was effectively entering into warfare as they would need to defeat the pagan peoples occupying the land then. Similarly, the Church...

15 June 2019 (#7 Session 3) Day 4 - History of Israel (Part 1 - Israel & the Church)
6/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Over the next few blog posts, we will conclude Session 3 by looking at the history of Israel and what it means for the Church as God’s royal priesthood and holy nation today. By Church, I want to clarify that we are speaking here about the Church in its visible form - as an institution, denomination or local body of believers that we belong to - just as by Israel, we are referring to the visible Jewish nation. This is because God has...

1 June 2019 (#6 Session 3) Day 4 - Sacred Times
5/30/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In our opening session, we learnt about God’s concept of time - how earthly time is temporal and is in continual linear motion. We then learnt how God gave us a series of weekly, monthly/annual and sabbatical/jubilee cycles in patterns of 7s as a way for us, who live in earthly time, to understand His eternal will. These were given in the form of religious practices and festivals, as well as national laws and regulations, that Israel was...

15 May 2019 (#5 Session 3) Day 4 Reflections (Do This in Remembrance of Me)
5/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Why do we celebrate the Holy Communion? For most of us, it is to remember and proclaim the Lord’s death (1 Cor 11:26a). Here, the bread and wine represent His body and blood which was given to save us. Now, in order to fully appreciate this, we need to realise that Jesus gave us this command during His Last Supper with His disciples. This meal took place on the eve of the annual Jewish Festival of the Passover, which was to commemorate how...

1 May 2019 (#4 Session 3) Day 4 - Priesthood & Sacrifices
4/29/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In our last two sessions, we saw firstly how - through the Law - Israel pointed to man’s utter sinfulness and need for Jesus, who alone could meet all its requirements so that we could be forever reconciled with God. Then we saw how God gave Israel the Tabernacle as a way for a sinful nation to serve as His priest drawing all men to worship Him. More importantly, the Tabernacle reflected God’s desire to be reconciled and dwell among us....

15 April 2019 (#3 Session 3) Day 4 - The Tabernacle
4/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In our previous session, we saw how God gave Israel the Law as part of His plan for the nation to become His lesser light pointing to Jesus. God did not expect Israel to do this by keeping the Law; in fact, it was precisely by not being able to do so that Israel would point to our need for Jesus, who alone can meet all the requirements of the Law. Because Israel was never meant to be able to uphold the Law, God also gave the nation the...

1 April 2019 (#2 Session 3) Day 4 - The Law
3/31/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In our previous session, we saw how, on the Fourth Day of Creation, God made the greater and lesser lights, and how these lights were prophetic of Jesus the Greater and True Light and of God’s people - Israel and the Church - who were to be the lesser lights to reflect His glory to the world. In this and the next few sessions, let us dig deeper into how God first equipped Israel for this purpose. When God rescued the Israelites from slavery...

3/13/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Previously, we saw how the first three days of creation pointed to three key events characteristic of the first three thousand years of human history - the fall of Man in the First Millennium resulting in sin and death entering the world, judgment in the Second Millennium in the form of a worldwide flood and a second chance through Noah and his ark, and God’s plan of salvation in the Third Millennium beginning with the Patriarchs - Abraham,...

1 March 2019 (#9 Session 2) The First 3 Days of Creation in History
2/28/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! In Session 1, we learnt that the Creation account gives us a unique Biblical perspective of world history - when God would act in His Kairos. Further, the 7 Days of Creation referred to 7 Millennia (7,000 years) of world history, as determined by the chronology of people and events in the Bible. As we conclude Session 2, we see that this was indeed the case with the first three Days of Creation. First, we saw how DAY 1 foreshadowed sin and...

2/14/2019
Shalom Aleichem and welcome to my bi-monthly blog! Earlier, we saw how the Third Day of Creation foretold the literal gathering of the floodwaters and appearing of the Dry Ground of a new world following the Flood. Symbolically, it pointed to the Patriarchs (Abraham, Isaac and Jacob) through whom God brought forth His plan of salvation - the dry ground as it were on which we are rescued from drowning in the sea of sin and judgment, this dry ground being none other than Jesus our Rock of...
