News and commentary for Wednesday, 22 May, 2023.

How do we get our lives unstuck? Is belief alone the thing that gets our lives moving and producing the kind of fruit we & God desire? How do we actualize the idealized version of ourselves? In this series, we are seeking to answer the question Yeshua asked His disciples in John 1:38, “What do […]

News, commentary, and an extended look back at the major events of the week ending Saturday, 18 May, 2024… …where massive solar flares may just be a harbinger of turmoil to come.

Why was Messiah Yeshua “delivered up” and then “raised”? Is Yahweh “obligated” to us? What is the one thing on which Jews and Christians agree? Is the apostle Paul teaching his congregation against circumcision of the flesh? Is “circumcision of the heart” a concept exclusive to the New Testament? This teaching is particularly challenging for […]

In this teaching, Dr Hollisa Alewine shares some very basic yet important hermeneutic principles, which will encourage us on how to dig deeper into His WORD and not misinterpret the true meaning of the text.

Parsha “Emor” (Leviticus chapters 21 through 24) continues the theme of “holiness” – but this time for a group of people that many ‘christians’ would now see as irrelevant. After all, we have new ‘priests’ today, and the sons of Aaron seem to have been displaced centuries ago. And, besides, with the world melting down, […]

…& Trading a Wooden Yoke for an Iron Yoke. Today’s message started to formulate about the 7th day of unleavened bread this past week. First I’m going to outline the progression of this message, then I will expound on all of these points. 1) The Shavuot wave offering of two leavened loaves of bread could represent the 2 houses of Israel, YHWH’s two sons as a wheat harvest firstfruits offering. 2) YHWH says Israel and Ephraim are His first born sons in Ex 4:22 and Jer 31:9, hence they/we are also a first born firstfruits offering that He has redeemed with the Blood of His Passover Lamb. 3) Backing up from Jer 31:9 for context I started reading in Jer 27 about Hannaniah’s false prophecy of deliverance from the wooden yoke of Babylon. To which Jeremiah calls him a false prophet leading people who listen to him into a false sense of deliverance and causing them to fight against the judgement of the wooden yoke of Babylon which is actually judgement from Yah for their wickedness. Through Jeremiah YHWH tells them that the broken wooden yoke of Babylon would be replaced with an iron yoke! So we came full circle from our thief in the night admonition about the false prophets of the take back America Christian Nationalist movement to what we believe is truly a message for us today which was delivered by Jeremiah thousands of years ago. All the scriptures for this message came together just a day or two BEFORE the free speech quashing bill HR 6090 passed from the House of Representatives to the Senate and BEFORE WE WERE EVEN AWARE OF THIS PROPOSED BILL! The conservative take back America, maga, Zionist, Christian Nationalist, secure our border, conservative movement in the US which appears to be trying to remove the yoke of tyranny and corruption, may actually be succeeding in breaking the wooden yoke of Babylon only to have it replaced with a soon to come iron yoke!!!

Why does Archbishop Vigano urge us to understand evil? What is shockingly discovered in King Charles’ new official portrait? What was Blinken singing in the Kyiv bar? What does UK embalmer, John O’Looney, and Overstock founder, Patrick Byrne, report about the real purpose of migrants in western lands? What effects is the earth experiencing as […]

This week the Torah teachers continue the study of the Book of the prophet Isaiah with chapter 35, and then into chapter 36, and a siege.

Regular co-hosts Dr. Jeff Prystupa, David Justice, and Mark Call discuss some of the major events (and insanity proofs) for the week just past, and – this week especially – take a look at some of the ‘indicators’ that give us some major hints of what to expect, particularly over perhaps the next few weeks.

Last weekend, one of the largest sunspots in modern memory fired off a series of solar flares directed at Earth, resulting in one of the largest geomagnetic storms in decades. But it wasn’t a catastrophe, just a warning. That sunspot will reappear again in just a couple of weeks, as it rotates around from the […]

In the face of 2,000 years of twisted teaching, Rabbi Steve Berkson asserts that the apostle Paul was not teaching that the Torah had been “done away with.” Rabbi Berkson proposes that the word “law” must be clarified so that we can achieve a better understanding of what Paul wrote. In this teaching, Rabbi Steve […]

This week we'll cover the Torah portion Kedoshim, or "Holies" and we'll tease apart some profound details in the account of the woman caught in adultery. Leviticus 19:1-20:27 Amos 9:7-9:15 Psalm 15 John 8:2-11 "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Le 19:18) Kedoshim, the “holies,” is nestled in the very heart of the Torah. This commandment stitches itself to heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are two witnesses. If we love Adonai, then we will love His people. Loving His people on earth pleases Him above, for He is “glorified through his people.” Heaven should be glorified on and through the earth. “Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, that I may be glorified. (Is 60:21) “Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (Jn 14:13) “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” (Le 19:18) In the explanation of the holy commandment to love one's neighbor, the Torah student is told it's the most obvious thing: “This is a great principle in the Torah. Many commandments in the Torah depend on it: Thus, a person who loves another as himself will not steal from him, will not commit adultery with his wife, will not cheat him of goods or oppress him with words, will not move his boundary and will not harm him in any way. So are many other religious duties bound up with it; the matter is evident to every understanding person.” (Sefer HaChinnukh #243) Yeshua wasn’t kidding. All the commandments really do hang on two! “...Whoever derives honor through the disgrace of his fellow-man, has no share in the world-to-come. On the other hand, when a man behaves toward his fellow in a way of love and peace, and friendship, seeking his advantage and rejoicing in his good fortune, Scripture refers to him in the verse, ‘Israel, in whom I will be glorified.’ (Is 49:3)” (Sefer HaChinnukh §243) In the Gospel of John, Yeshua elaborates on how the holy commandment will work on earth to glorify Heaven: “A new [chadasha-refreshed] commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” (Jn 13:34-35) The KJV translates Strong's H2318 in the following manner: renew (7x), repair (3x). Outline of Biblical Usage: to be new, renew, repair to renew, make anew to repair (Hithpael) to renew oneself Strong’s Definitions ?????? châdash, to be new; causatively, to rebuild:—renew, repair. The KJV translates Strong's H2319 in the following manner: new (48x), new thing (4x), fresh (1x). Outline of Biblical Usage: new, new thing, fresh ?????? châdâsh; from H2318; new:—fresh, new thing. Yeshua wasn't teaching a brand-new commandment; he was teaching how to refresh and repair the commandment they already had by explaining its function. By loving one another, the greatest commandment, to love Adonai with all one's heart, soul, and strength, would be fulfilled in such a way that the whole world could see it! Loving one’s neighbor as one’s self is impossible if the Torah is not written on the tablets of the heart. If we love our neighbor, we will not disgrace him or her. It is a commandment that has a "refresh" button! Each day, we must remind ourselves to hit "refresh and repair" on our hearts where Adonai has written love. This explanation is found in context. A person who embarrasses another believer is behaving disgracefully toward ADONAI! A person who behaves peacefully with other believers and honors them glorifies ADONAI, not the person. It honors the Father through the person. It also sets apart in holiness the one who honors others as a disciple of Yeshua in the eyes of all men. This is ONE HEART. “You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men; being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God,...

Parsha “Kedoshim” (Leviticus chapters 19 through 20) is the regular reading for this week, following the Feast of Unleavened Bread. But given the holiday, Mark actually took a look at the first part of the reading last week, with chapter 18, and the introduction to “be holy (or ‘set apart’, y’all!) because I AM.” The […]
