For the next 7 days, we’ll be camped in the first 7 verses of Exodus chapter 17—as we’ve now crossed through the wilderness of Sin, and set up camp at Raphidim. The place-name Raphidim comes from the same root word concept as does “healing”. Back at Marah, Yah promised… Read More »Water From The Rock
It’s already been seven days that we’ve camped here, and our seven lessons about Manna are almost over. This is kind of a weird time to finally look around and see where we’ve been camped, but we’ve been so busy collecting Manna for the past 6 days, this… Read More »Thorny Breakthroughs
A few weeks from now, we’ll be covering the 10 Words (aka 10 Commandments) in greater detail. Shavuot’s crescendo is a new Covenant, with those two stone tablets as a type of words-made-flesh token of YHWH’s love. Sorry, I forgot to say ‘spoiler alert’. On those tablets, Commandment # 4 says, “Remember… Read More »Keep My Sabbaths (Plural)
[As a brief recap, we’ve been putting ourselves in the steps of the early Israelites… joining them on their first journey from the Red Sea miracle up to the Sinai Mountain peak. The events in Exodus form a thematic narrative which informs us in a unique way about… Read More »Sabbath: A Shadow Of Things To Come
Much of the ignorance surrounding Messiah’s view of the Sabbath (such as whether He “broke” it or not) is due to how often He was challenged about his activities on Shabbat. The religious leadership of the day were certainly acting as Sabbath police, especially as far as Yeshua… Read More »Sabbath 101
In Exodus 16, regarding the Manna, Yah says this, “Behold, I am about to rain bread from heaven for you, and the people shall go out and gather a day’s portion every day, that I may TEST them, whether they will walk in my law or not.” There… Read More »“Testing, Testing, 1,2,3,4,5,6,7”
At our first campsite we saw subtle word play, strongly implying that Messiah is “hiding” Himself along The Way to Shavuot. In this lesson of the Manna, we see it again, except this time Messiah reveals Himself in his own words. Read John 6:22-59 for context. John 6:48-51: “I am… Read More »Manna and Messiah
As we step one day closer towards Shavuot, Yah continues to build upon the foundational lessons taught between First Fruits and the paradise of Elim, where we had been camped. On day one, we were forever liberated from the bondage of sin, and we became uniquely positioned for… Read More »Perfect Timing
At the burning bush, Yah tells Moses this: “…go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘YHWH, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us; and now, please let us go a three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to YHWH our… Read More »Obedience, the First Step to Healing
Before I get into the continuing saga of Miriam, the newly released TZADE, and how it informs us about the deeper realities of Messiah’s ministry, lets look at one more crucial (that’s a pun you’ll get later) Hebrew letter. Ayin. In the original picture-graphic language our Bibles were first… Read More »Righteousness Realized
