Daniel 8 and 9 Prophecy Discussion

Here is something I have been meaning to post for a while. On October 3rd, 2024, I did an interview with Prophecy Roundtable on Daniel 8 and 9. My hosts were Joel Blackford and Douglas Hamp and the discussion is intense and detailed, and all Scripture based! Enjoy!

Where Was the Original Temple?

This is a teaching literally a decade in the making! Since 2012 I have been researching the intricate and fascinating details pointing to the Temples of Solomon and Zerubbabel–along with the expansion begun by Herod the Great– were located within the City of David. The result is a massive 5 video and nearly 4-hour long teaching. Packed with dozens of graphics and nearly a hundred scholarly resources, this is the definitive guide to the restored (and hidden) history of the Temples of Elohim, both past and future, that graced and will grace Jerusalem in the future. The teaching also includes a 49-page detailed essay to guide you through all the ins and outs of this critical topic. This is an exclusive for One Faith One People Ministries! Explore the mystery and judge the evidence for yourself!

Toldot

Toldot means “generations” or “family records,” referring to the lineage of Isaac. The troubled sibling rivalry of Jacob and Esau is the focus here. Jacob will eventually steal Esau’s birthright and blessing before running away. But as crafty as Jacob is he will find his uncle Laban even more deceitful and it is Laban who will outmaneuver Jacob for 20 years before Jacob gains advantage again. We also have the third occurrence—this time with Isaac and Abimelech II—of a wife (Rebecca this time) being passed off as a “sister” because a patriarch was afraid for his life. The portion ends with Esau taking another wife.

Chayey Sarah (Audio Portion)

Chayei Sarah means “life of Sarah” but ironically it begins with her death! The full meaning actually is “the Life of Sarah WAS.” In the wake of her death, Abraham must find an appropriate place to bury his wife. Ephron the Hittite first offers some land to Abraham for free, but Abraham insists on paying (actually OVERPAYING according to the rabbis) and signing a contract for the land to avoid future strife.
Chapter 24 then gives us the beautiful love story between Isaac and Rebecca. It becomes clear that while Isaac himself gets little attention in Torah compared to his ancestors and descendants, he certainly did very well in the marriage department—Rebecca is in a way his inheritance and treasure. The portion ends with Abraham’s death and a reunion at his funeral with Isaac and Ishmael.

Vayera

Vayera means “and appeared,” referencing Abba YHWH, appearing to Abraham with two other messengers. The trio brings news that Abraham and Sarah will have a son. Sarah, not believing Abba YHWH, laughs at hearing the pronouncement and then denies she laughed. This is one reason they call their son Yitzchak, “laughter.” Notable here also is that Abraham serves Abba YHWH and His two messengers milk and meat! After this, we get the dark message of Sodom and Gomorrah’s destruction. Abraham’s nephew Lot and his family must leave immediately to avoid the coming disaster. Also, there is a remarkable “bargaining” session between Abraham and Abba YHWH, as they debate how many righteous souls will spare the entire city. An incident similar to the one where Pharaoh took Sarah happens again with another ruler, with comparable results. The portion ends with the most shocking story of them all, as Abraham is told to kill his son by Abba YHWH Himself!

Command Performance: Lucas Ussatis in Concert

Ladies and Gentlemen I present for your entertainment and consideration a wonderful concert done by a young man Jaye and I love and admire. Lucas Ussatis is the son of two of our oldest ministry friends who run Tabernacle of David Messianic synagogue in Burnsville, Minnesota. Lucas likes to do charity work for senior citizens, and he is participating in a festival day for them in this video where he does the entire score of Fiddler on the Roof, literally playing on what looks a roof (it’s a balcony, but go with it!) Enjoy this…I know I did.

Lech Lecha (Audio Portion)

Lech Lecha means “get yourself out.” It concerns the command Abba YHWH gives Abram to into Canaan and has a lot of great “action” surrounding that main theme. First, move Abram has a bit of an adventure in Egypt when his wife acquired by Pharaoh because Abram said she was his sister! Then Abram had to do some intricate planning to get ahead of a potential family dispute between himself and his nephew Lot. After that a whole bunch of kings go to war around Abram and closer to home Abram is given the second most difficult test of his life and I’m just scratching the surface here…there’s a ton of action I left out here.

Incidentally, I just upgraded my Vimeo for more storage and I noticed some videos say “includes AI.” I just want all of you to know that I have NOT activated ANY AI features, but the video says I have the capability to only.

New Tabernacle of David Teachings!

Shalom everyone! Here are my latest teachings for Tabernacle of David Messianic Synagogue in Burnsville, Minnesota. Delivered on September28th, 2024, these teachings are brand-new. The first concerns unsung biblical manuscript heroes, brave men and women who played a critical role, literally risking life and limb, in bringing us the critical texts translators need to put the Word into English and other modern languages. These intrepid people crossed deserts, lost family members and stood up against some of the most prevalent prejudices of their times to break new ground for our sakes. So meet the bravest biblical heroes you probably have never heard of!

The second teaching concerns how the Apostolic Writings of the Renewed Covenant were first defined in First Covenant and developed from oral preaching styles under the supervision of Yeshua to become the texts that have survived into the present day. Explore the true story that Scripture itself reveals about its own origins for the story of Yeshua and his Apostles! Notes are included below for both teachings. Enjoy!

Noach

Noach refers to Noah, a righteous man whose name means “comfort” or “peace.” Abba YHWH tells Noah He is about to flood all of humanity out of existence except for himself, his wife, their three sons and three daughters in law. After the Flood, humanity tries to start over but there is still great evil about as Nimrod becomes a great and powerful leader and those (perhaps) under his influence attempt to build a tower to rival heaven, forcing Abba YHWH to confuse human language ever since. The genealogy brings us to the time of Abraham, thus setting up the covenant that is about to happen in the next portion. I should also note here that Noach is the most calendar intensive portion in my opinion of the entire year. In order to manage that information and to keep things easy to understand and efficient, I have pooled the most important calendar aspects into one basic essay at the end of the Torah linguistics.
