The Messianic Message

The Torah Portions follow the annual cycle. However, this year, I am teaching the history of ancient Israel in place of the Torah teaching. We read the Torah Portion at the beginning of the meeting and follow this with the teaching and a midrash.

This is an important message about YHVH’s calendar! When He gives us something to say, we must say it or be punished like Jonah was.

Something happened among the Israelites right out of the chute. It is something that will not happen in our future. The prophecies foretell patterns, situations and conditions that will repeat and those that will not repeat. We are about to find out what will not repeat in our future.

Jericho foreshadows something very important by the time we are finished. There are many prophecies that go with the fall of Jericho which will help us understand some upcoming situations in our future.

The Book of Joshua seems straightforward but there is a lot of prophecy related to the coming Tribulation and our return to the Promised Land with our King, Yeshua. This first Passover in the Book of Joshua has much to teach us.

Here is where we meet Rahab who helped the Israelites at Jericho when Joshua sent 2 spies to the land, Canaan. She was a harlot, but a very special one, even to Yeshua Messiah. Listen to find out why. Maybe she will become special to you, too.

An important part of our knowledge is our history, the history of Israel’s failures and triumphs. We must learn what not to do so we can safely enter YHVH’s Kingdom which is coming soon, and we must learn what TO do, as well.

We are royal. We are treated as such within the family’s realm which is called “Kingdom”. Being a “royal” comes with many privileges but also with many responsibilities.
