I love it when a plan comes together–especially a heavenly one commanded by Father Yah! We may never know how long Father Yah had the image of an earthly tabernacle to match the glory (at least somewhat) of what He commanded in the heavenlies, but we most certainly know the exact date the earthly counterpart showed up: Friday, March 28th, 1446 BCE. And yet, as we will also see, there are so many more rich details we get during the actual construction that were not given earlier in Exodus when the plan was first announced. In any case, a people who started this book of Shemot as slaves in Egypt devoid of all hope now stand on the brink of becoming a true nation–if only they will believe Moshe and not give into lies. For now however, let’s just enjoy the moment as one story ends and a new one is ready to be told.
A big part of heaven’s kingdom descends onto the earth this week! Remembering that Moshe has been told a few times, “See that you make everything according to the pattern you were shown on the mountain”. this week that pattern becomes a physical reality as sacred geometries and spiritual mathematics based completely on Scripture come together to make the sacred furniture, including the Ark of the Covenant. What secrets do the math and the materials and the measurements reveal? The truth, hiding in plain sight all along, is about to blossom into even deeper levels without compromising one iota of plain Scripture truth. This is literally the math that holds the universe together and it’s all literally written in stone, metal and wood for all to see.
It starts out with just an innocent little census, but then all “pagan-gehenna” breaks loose–literally! But as many of you long-time members know, figuring out what the Golden Calf really was is the key to unlocking so many other mysteries, including where Mount Sinai has to be. But this time around there’s a surprise twist that I have not revealed before and it lies in the proper translation of Exodus 32:4, where it’s “THESE be your GODS, O Israel that brought you out of Egypt”, and trust me, that plural makes all the difference. Other important features this week include debunking the deceptive tactics of counter-missionaries and a final update on the El Arish stone, as well as exciting news on the very latest developments in Dead Sea Scrolls research with breaking news this very week!
Please Note: Not all features of Scroll to Scroll are replicated in the basic course, Torah 101. Todah (thank you)!
Enter into the Sanctuary, to the place that Father Yah promised He would meet with His servants! Now as the plans for building the earthly representation of those things in heaven picks up speed, literally, the secrets of the universe are passed down in code, calendar, and prophecy in so many ways. We also go even deeper into that theme with the Haftorah portion from Ezekiel as he describes the future Temple. We also have brand new updates on the latest in Biblical archaeology, including the two items we discussed last week, one purporting to be an Egyptian account of Exodus and the other a first century Latin account about a previously unknown miracle about Y’shua. Will the claims stand up to scholarly scrutiny or will the liberal skeptics be forced to rewrite their own history? Find out and also see how one of Y’shua’s most beloved parables may end up not only having a cutting political edge many didn’t even see coming but also how it proves beyond all doubt our Mashiyach could most definitely predict the future. And also a very personal aside on how I got into this field of Scripture study. The inspiration might surprise you! (Note: Some of these features relate only to the longer Scroll to Scroll program.)
Explore the mysteries of the Tabernacle, the Ark of the Covenant and so much more. Terumah seems to be a parsha just about measurements and furniture, but the reality is very different. Inside these numbers are amazing secret codes for calendar, prophecy and even the universe itself. Also find out the latest in Biblical archaeology discoveries including what may be proof of the Exodus from the Egyptian perspective, a Roman account of a previous unknown miracle of Y’shua dated to within 15 years of the resurrection and the latest on a manuscript behind held in the Vatican that has the Aramaic Gospels dated to 78 CE. Join us as the codes or deciphered and the mysteries are revealed, along with of course all the other linguistics and history that you have come to expect from parshas here on Scroll to Scroll and Torah 101! Enjoy!
P.S.: If you want to see more of that Ark of the Covenant graphic and what that’s all about, just DOUBLE LEFT CLICK on the image and it will enlarge!
We’re not done with Moshe receiving the Torah just yet! The Ten Commandments was just the beginning and now come the Mishpatim–the judgments and smaller regulations that explain how to keep the Top 10! But just when you think there’s nothing but rules and regulations to be had here, a stunning vision of Father Yah’s throne breaks on in chapter 24. It’s a vision that is almost never taught on and yet it may be the most important revelation in the Tanakh of them all. Find out why.
“Behold His Mighty Hand! YHWH of Hosts will fight for us!” A nation so feared that other empires bow down in submission. A king so powerful that his nation and priesthood proclaims him a god. An army so massive–600 chariots strong and countless infantry-and a slave population so helpless–they want their leader Moshe dead as they are trapped between the chariots and the sea. By any stretch of the imagination, Israel doesn’t have a chance at all, even when taking the super humble but strong and eye never dim leader Moshe into account. But there is one more Player in this game–and He created the universe so advantage Team Hebrew! All that action plus we will explore the evidence regarding if Pharaoh died in the Sea of Reeds, who was he, as well as answer one of the most surprising member questions we have ever gotten. Not to be missed!
He saved the worst for last! The three worst plagues are still in front of the Egyptians as this action packed parsha opens with locusts devouring the rest of the crops the massive hail storm spared, followed by three days of a darkness that can be felt and of course, the slaying of the first born of Egypt. After the night of terror the Israelites are poised to have the greatest night of freedom in all of human history!
Also this week a very special BONUS teaching on the calendar. With 2016 poised to end, I have put together what I sincerely hope to be a strong basic course on the original Biblical calendar, replete with brand new graphics and 19 pages of extensive notes to go along with the nearly hour long video. If you ever wanted to understand a comprehensive but basic view of how the ancient Hebrews really set the feasts, this teaching is for you! It is also in the Calendar and Free Teachings sections. Enjoy!
Plagues and Scandal! Round 1 of this tremendous struggle has clearly been won by Pharaoh, with the Bricks Without Straw debacle literally breaking the spirits of the Israelites. Now Moshe must regroup and prepare for something much worse: The divine destruction of his adopted homeland. And yet Moshe himself has his own faith wavering this week, so how can he get others to believe it either, for what comes is unprecedented and what is still to come far worse. The lives of two nations and millions of people hang in the balance. All this, and we also have a special bonus teaching on what happens after we die, because I believe the Ruach commanded me to do it even though I don’t know why. In terms of depth and action, it doesn’t get any better than this one.
The new adventure begins. It’s been 144 years since Joseph died and was buried at the end of Genesis. Judah and all the other tribal heads, the sons of Jacob, are now all dead. A dynasty died and a new re-unified Egypt has emerged, stronger than ever, and determined to kill anyone that gets in its way. Enter Moshe and his people: loyal to the ousted dynasty, squatting on the most fertile land in Egypt and a threat to the new dynasty’s national security. But a hidden hero awaits–hidden in plain sight of the throne–and the days soon come when he will rise and save 2 million people.
The Final Act. In a drama literally more than 2,300 years in the making, the book of Genesis comes to a climactic close. Joseph has made himself known to his brothers, but even though he has promised forgiveness and restoration to them, the guilty siblings are not so sure they are out of danger. Meanwhile, Jacob dies after 17 years in Egypt and details about his funeral give us even more proof that Jacob was indeed elevated to be a vassal king by the Pharaoh through Joseph. Find out the latest evidence, as archaeology and the Scripture come closer than ever before and see a brand new updated timeline for all the events from Joseph’s death to Exodus.
“You didn’t send me to Egypt…Elohim did, so I could save lives!” Thus says Joseph to his brothers as they finally reconcile in a moment 22 years in the making. In the end, Joseph needed to have a picture painted of the suffering of his father Jacob to finally relent, even as his brothers also came into increasing awareness of their sins as well. But this parsha is about far more than just that one moving moment. It is also the time when Joseph’s father Jacob may have been appointed as a ruler in Egypt–twice–by the most famous Pharaoh of his dynasty. See the archaeology and judge it for yourself!
