And now the great struggle begins. The warnings have been given. The signs have been seen. Now, the time has come for Moshe to fight for the freedom os his people against the very same group of people that raised him for 40 years in their royal courts. But Moshe doesn’t fight alone–Father Yah is with him as He promised, and beginning this week we start to see what that “I am with you” promise really looks like. Stay tuned for special teachings also on the Egyptian Plague Clock and a detailed look at what I believe the Scripture says about life after death. Enjoy!

Joseph is gone and also, apparently forgotten, at least by the Egyptians. Now dark times fall on the Hebrews of Goshen as they go from valued partners to hated enemies and from the pinnacle of power in Egypt to the lowest of the low, slaves who can’t even get straw for their bricks. But a new hero arises too. Moshe is born and begins what may be the most important journey in all of the Tanakh, from prince, to fugitive, to failed leader and then to Lawgiver. Let’s rest the clock again as an entire new adventure is about to begin.

The title says it all–vayechi–“and he lived”. But this is not just true of Jacob spending his last 17 years in Egypt but really of the entire generation of two nations that lives because of Joseph. Jacob’s preparations to leave this earth, as well as those of his son’s Joseph that we will get at the end, range from the sensible to the surprising. Why does Jacob feel the need to adopt two of Joseph’s own sons as his own? Why is it that the way Jacob’s body is treated in Egypt gives us clues to Jacob’s real status as one of the greatest funeral processions ever recorded sojourns to Canaan to let the patriarch rest? And how is it that the most important prophecy Joseph ever gives is right at the end of his life? Find out as we explore Egyptian archaeology and history to reveal the truth!

After 22 years, grieving father and son are finally reunited this week, and it literally could not be closer to being too late. Jacob, long weakened by the loss of Joseph, has barely been hanging on for more than two decades. And Joseph has already gone through enough false imprisonments and accusations to last several lifetimes, and now only has one more foe to master: himself. As the drama with his brothers reaches its climax this week, Joseph may be on the verge of a near breakdown. Can he hold it together long enough to restore his family and save the lives of millions? Also, a member Q&A on a controversial topic once again creates an unexpected opportunity to set the record straight on what may be the most contentious calendar topic of them all. Enjoy!

An innocent man languishes in prison for two years for a crime he did not commit. He is only freed because the selfish cupbearer, who broke his word and didn’t speak up for Joseph once he was comfortable, saw an opportunity to help Pharaoh. As Joseph is freed from one prison, he enters the new world of international politics where his word will become law and the fate of Egypt rests in his hands…and his dream interpretations.
