Yeshua concluded His series of parables about the Kingdom of God, which exposed the hypocrisy and wickedness of the Chief Priests, elders of the people, Pharisees, and Herodians, only to be confronted with questions from the Sadducees that exposed their lack of knowledge and understanding of the Scriptures. The Chief Priests, elders of the people, Pharisees, Sadducees and Herodians were some murderous people who would destroy anyone who opposed or resisted their teachings, practices, and command...

YeHoVaH has no problem prospering those who pursue Him. He made Abraham rich; He prospered Isaac during a time of famine; and He prospered Jacob under the harsh treatment from Laban. The passage we are about to study highlights several Scriptural truths about wealth. Jacob has fathered 12 children, 11 boys and 1 girl by his wives and concubines, and desires to move on from Laban knowing what kind of man Laban was. Laban was a cheat, an idolater, and continued to lay claim to all he had given Jac...

In a series of parables about the Kingdom of God, Yeshua speaks to the Chief Priests, elders of the people, Pharisees, and Herodians on a variety of topics about a father and his sons; obedience and disobedience; John the Baptist; prostitutes; tax collectors; and then, a land owner and tenants. The evil and wickedness of the people led Yeshua to speak to them in parables so He could tell them about themselves without having to directly tell them or call them out, but to speak in such a way that ...

In this Podcast, we will learn the 3 C’s of Haran: Customs, Culture, and Contracts or Covenants. These customs set the foundation for the birth of a nation and the 12 tribes of Jacob or Israel. Leah not only was the first, but the older sister of Rachel. Jacob never wanted Leah, but was bound by custom to take her as a wife. Jacob loved Rachael, and Leah felt he hated her. YeHoVaH saw how Jacob was treating Leah and intervened by opening her womb to conceive. Leah gives birth to the first four o...

Yeshua’s interactions with His disciples, discourses with the Chief Priests and the elders of the people, and the parable of the man and his sons revealed some powerful and dynamic lessons on faith, fear, and the way of righteousness taught by Messiah Yeshua. Yeshua revealed that the Kingdom, He came to bring, was first offered to the Children of Israel, YeHoVaH’s firstborn, but was inclusive of all people who submitted themselves in service to YeHoVaH. According to Yeshua’s references to certai...

Jacob did not understand the culture, customs, and nature of Contracts or Covenants in Haran. From his entrance into the region Jacob was introduced to a different way of life, but maintained his way of doing things. Jacob makes a covenant or verbal contractual agreement with Laban not fully understanding the firstborn sister marriage-first custom. Laban knew this going into the agreement, but neglected to tell Jacob the small print. Leah was in on the misrepresentation because she would have to...

The joyous occasion of Yeshua’s entrance into the city of Jerusalem, the exploits performed by Him in the Temple Courts, and the prophetic fulfillments of the Prophets spoken hundreds of years prior, presented serious issues for the religious leaders.

Rebekah convinces Isaac to send Jacob away after Jacob took the birthright blessing and Esau reveals his desire to kill Jacob. As Jacob is on the way to Laban’s house, his mother’s brother, YeHoVaH appears to Jacob in a dream and says to Jacob, “I am YeHoVah Elohim of Abraham thy father, and the Elohim of Isaac: the land whereon thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.” YeHoVaH reiterates the promises made to Abraham and Isaac that culminate in all the families of the earth being ble...

The big, bold, beautiful ministry of Yeshua is put on full display in this portion of Matthew as Yeshua gives His disciples instructions to go into the city, find His ride, and bring it to Him to make His triumphal entrance into Jerusalem. Yeshua’s festive entrance became the cause of much celebration for the inhabitants and visitors in Jerusalem at the time. However, the celebration of the people invoked the anger and wrath of the religious community who confronted Yeshua because of the words a...

In this Chapter, Jacob, with the help of his mother, secures the blessing of the birthright. Rebekah remembers the words of YeHoVaH spoken to her which caused her to do what she did. Jacob knew what was being proposed and saw the danger in it, but his mother assumed all responsibilities even the possibility of being cursed because she was operating in what she had heard the Father say to her. Jacob obeyed his mother and pretended to be Esau in order to secure the blessing of the firstborn. Jacob...

Communion, as observed in Churches and in some Messianic Assemblies today, has become a part of service where the congregants participate in a sacrament involving eating a piece of cracker or wafer and sipping a small cup of juice or wine symbolic of the Last Supper of Christ or Messiah. Webster’s Dictionary defines communion as a Christian sacrament in which consecrated bread and wine are consumed as memorials of Christ's death, or as symbols for the realization of a spiritual union between Chr...

In a Nutshell: Persecution comes with the Blessings of YeHoVaH. Because of Isaac’s blessings, the Philistines envied Isaac and asked him to move away from them. In the meanwhile, they closed his wells and laid claim to the wells Isaac’s herdsmen dug. Ultimately they wanted to make an alliance with Isaac because it was obvious they could not stop him because YeHoVaH’s favor was on Isaac. We must endure the persecution in order to enjoy the blessings. It’s like eating at the table YeHoVaH prepares...

Answering the questions of the rich young ruler about how to inherit eternal life, in the presence of the disciples, left Yeshua’s disciples perplexed because they had left everything to follow Yeshua.

In a Nutshell, there are blessings associated with obeying the Commandments of God. There are consequences for disobedience. Isaac went into the land of Abimelech, king of the Philistines, during the time of the famine and contemplated going down to Egypt to escape the famine, but YeHoVaH appeared to him and told him not to go. When Father tells us to do something or not to do something, that is a Commandment. When we obey the Commandment Father gives us, we can expect the outcome Father has ass...

Everything Yeshua did was prophetically inspired to fulfill prophecy. Yeshua’s activity, travel patterns, and teachings were directed by YeHoVaH to mislead the enemy, confuse the leaders of the day, and to maneuver individuals to comply with His Process and Will. This was done in order to bring about the desired end goal for sending Yeshua into the world as the sacrificial lamb for the sins of mankind. In this portion of Matthew, after presenting a teaching to His disciples designed to expose th...

The first three times the Bible uses the word barren are in reference to the wives of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel. To be barren means to not be able to reproduce. Sarah, Rebecca, and Rachel we’re all barren. The miraculous thing about all of these barren women was they were the ones chosen by YeHoVaH to produce the children of the covenant. What is impossible for man is not impossible for YeHoVaH. Isaac was sixty years old when his twins, Esau and Jacob, were born. The birthright is the righ...

The subject of eternal life was a cause for concern for many Hebrew Israelites in the days of Yeshua the Messiah. All four Gospel narratives cover the subject of eternal life and Yeshua teaches on eternal life extensively in its connection with the Law. Contrary to popular teaching, the subject of eternal life did not originate in the New Testament, but was a subject of concern prior to the advent of Yeshua. Most seminary-taught theologians, denominational preachers, and teachers fail to make th...

The subject of divorce has been a cause of contention since the giving of the Torah and was one of the issues YeHoVaH specifically instructed Moses on. In this passage, Yeshua was questioned about the causes or reasons a man could divorce his wife and specifically spoke about Moses' instructions concerning the bill of divorcement.

Isaac was grief stricken mourning the death of his mother, Sarah. Abraham knew that he was unable to give Isaac the kind of comfort he needed and what Isaac needed was not another mother, but a comforting wife. Abraham sent his servant, Eliezer, to the city of Nahor in Mesopotamia to find a wife for his son Isaac. Abraham’s servant was a man who worshipped YeHoVaH. Through answered prayer, Eliezer was invited to Abraham’s kindred’s home where he formally asked for Rebekah to wed Isaac. Laban was...

Sin is defined by the New Testament writing of 1st John 3:4 - "Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the Law: for sin is the transgression of the Law." The Law of YeHoVaH covered every aspect of the Hebrew Israelite’s life from conception to the grave. YeHoVaH gave the Hebrew Israelites the greatest set of instructions and Laws that no other nation had. These Laws were to govern Israel and teach them the ways of YeHoVaH as a free people.

Abraham’s eldest servant is believed to be Eliezer who ruled over all Abraham had, even though Abraham had two sons. Eliezer was Abraham’s chief servant. He was born in Abraham’s house, and he was like a son to Abraham. Eliezer was taught by Abraham to keep the way of YeHoVaH, and Eliezer had been circumcised by Abraham.

Humility can be defined as having a humble opinion of one's self. Pride, the opposite of humility, can be defined as the character of one who, with a swollen estimate of his own powers or merits, looks down on others and even treats them with insolence and contempt. Religious pride and piety can be easily cloaked in false humility. Soon after demonstrating unbelief in their inability to cast the unclean, deaf and dumb spirit out of a young man, and a brief lesson on paying tribute to Caesar, the...

Sarah died at 127 years old. This would have made Isaac around 36 years old when his mother died since she gave birth to him when she was 91. Abraham was not only a righteous man, but he was also a righteous businessman. When he was negotiating for a cave and land to bury Sarah, Abraham wanted possession/control of the cave and the piece of land. Abraham did not want to use the cave, he wanted to own the cave and was willing to pay whatever price the cave was worth. He did not want to be in debt...

The disciples were frustrated because they were unable to cast out an unclean spirit. Yeshua informed them on how to overcome their...
