THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 3, Chapter 1 Continued 2 We left off at verse 11 of Zechariah chapter 1, where it was dealing with Zechariah’s vision of the 3 horses that were roaming the earth to give a report to Yehoveh about the condition of the world at that time. Before that, I told […] The post Lesson 03 – Zechariah Ch 1 cont 2 appeared first on…

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 2, Chapter 1 Continued I’ll begin this 2nd lesson in the Book of Zechariah with a plea I made in the 1st: do not proceed until you have first studied the Book of Haggai with us. It is a very simple matter: these two books are connected and in fact, […] The post Lesson 02 – Zechariah Ch 1 cont appeared first on Torah Cla…

THE BOOK OF ZECHARIAH Lesson 1, Introduction and Chapter 1 Today we open the Book of Zechariah with an introduction to prepare us to more thoroughly study it. This introduction will be less extensive than is my typical because reading the introduction to the Torah Class study of the Book of Haggai essentially covers the […] The post Lesson 01 – Zec…

THE BOOK OF HAGGAI Lesson 5, Chapter 2 Concluded END In our introduction to the Book of Haggai I explained that significant historical background is needed, as well as the elucidation of special terminology that we find in the original Hebrew, to properly examine the Book of Haggai and capture what the author intended to […] The post Lesson 05 – Ha…

THE BOOK OF HAGGAI Lesson 4, Chapter 2 Continued The Minor Prophets as a group were, barely a few decades ago, seen as an interesting historical record of the ancient times in which their prophecies were about Israel’s future from their perspective, but in the past from ours, and little else. So, their relevance was […] The post Lesson 04 – Haggai …

THE BOOK OF HAGGAI Lesson 3, Chapter 2 Let’s open Haggai chapter 2 by summing up chapter 1. The focus is clearly the Temple that still lay in ruins after close to 2 decades of the Judeans returning to their former homeland. Their former homeland is now but a Persian province called Yehud, and the […] The post Lesson 03 – Haggai Ch 2 appeared first …

THE BOOK OF HAGGAI Lesson 2, Chapter 1 Open your Bibles to Haggai chapter 1. This is a short chapter, that is straight to the point, and so we’ll be able to complete it in this one lesson. That said, there are some technical details, and some ambiguous words that we will attempt to deal […] The post Lesson 02 – Haggai Ch 1 appeared first on Torah C…

THE BOOK OF HAGGAI Lesson 1, Introduction There is no way to properly discuss the Book of Haggai unless we first understand the historical background of the times, and to recognize the context that the Books of Haggai and Zechariah are completely tied together such that where Haggai ends, Zechariah begins both chronologically and historically.

The 10 Lost Tribes of Israel Part 5 We ended our last session on the 10 Lost Tribes of Israel by talking about the inherent dual nature of things in our Universe.

THE BOOK OF JOEL Lesson 9, Chapter 4 Continued We ended our previous lesson discussing the matter of Joel 4:4, where Tyre and Sidon are places God was going to pour out His wrath upon, and how that they were part of Phoenicia, which is modern day Lebanon. Sometimes the biblical names of places can […] The post Lesson 9 Ch4 appeared first on Torah C…

THE BOOK OF JOEL Lesson 10, Chapter 4 Continued 2 – END We concluded our previous lesson with Joel 4 verse 13. The narrative centers on the time when the prophecy of the war to end all wars has begun. This is a Holy War, which means the outcome is already determined…God (and Israel) wins.

The 10 Lost Tribes of Israel Part 2 We covered a great deal of ground in our previous lesson of The 10 Lost Tribes of Israel, part 1. So, to get our bearings, let’s re-read a few verses from Genesis chapter 48.

LEVITICUS Lesson 11 – Chapter 8 Just as chapters 6 and 7 were a unit, so is Leviticus chapters 8, 9, and 10. These 3 chapters will present us with the ordination of the first priesthood of Israel.

LEVITICUS Lesson 7 – Chapter 4 Continued We left off studying Leviticus chapter 4. And, in chapter 4 we get a new kind, a new type, of sacrificial offering called the Hatta’at…….the Purification Offering. Some translators call this the Sin Offering. However, I think this translated name misses the point as this offering is not […] The post Lesson 7…

LEVITICUS Lesson 8 – Chapter 5 We should see Chapter 5 as but a continuation of Chapter 4. In fact, the specific sacrificial ritual of Chapter 4 extends into the first 13 verses of Chapter 5……but then it changes. Put another way, the uses for the Hatta’at sacrifice, the Purification Offering, are ordained from Lev […] The post Lesson 8 – Leviticus …

LEVITICUS Lesson 9 – Chapters 5 and 6 We began last week to deal with a new class of sacrificial offerings, the asham , that covered another aspect of sin and atonement: making reparations for what one had done whether the offense was intentional and known, or inadvertent and the person didn’t consciously realize he […] The post Lesson 9 – Leviticu…

LEVITICUS Lesson 5 – Chapter 3 We have now looked at the two types of burnt offerings; that is, two types of sacrifices that were placed onto the Brazen Altar and consumed by fire.

LEVITICUS Lesson 6 – Chapter 4 Let’s review a little. So far, we’ve looked at 3 different sacrifices, also called “offerings”: the ‘Olah……the burnt offering; the Minchah……the grain offering; and the Zevah…..the peace offering. Each had different purposes and occasions for their use. All had in common that the offering, whether animal or grain, had …

LEVITICUS Lesson 3 – Chapter 1 We spent the first 2 weeks of our Leviticus study simply preparing the background and laying the groundwork to make Leviticus more understandable, enjoyable, and hopefully, meaningful.

LEVITICUS Lesson 4 – Chapter 2 In Leviticus chapter 1, we looked at the sacrificial ritual call in Hebrew ‘Olah ……what we typically translate as the “burnt offering”.

LEVITICUS Lesson 1 – Introduction The title of the book of Leviticus, itself, tells us much about what it offers. It is named after the tribe of Levi……pronounced “Leh-vee”….one of the original 12 tribes of Israel (who were formed, if you recall, by the 12 sons of Jacob). But, this tribe was quite unique; God […] The post Lesson 1 – Leviticus Introd…
