In this teaching, we explore the biblical foundation of repentance (teshuva) and what it truly means to turn back to God. Drawing from key passages in Acts 2, Romans 1, 1 John 3, Hebrews 4, and the Torah, this episode walks through the call to repent, the seriousness of sin, and the hope found in Yeshua the Messiah.

You’ll learn about:

The Hebrew and Greek roots of repentance: metanoeō, epistrephō, shub, and nacham

Why sin is defined as lawlessness, and how Torah reveals God’s standard of righteousness

How Yeshua’s resurrection confirms His identity and offers forgiveness and new life

The ongoing call to examine ourselves, confess our sins, and walk toward God

How Passover and the appointed times invite deeper reflection and spiritual renewal

This message encourages listeners to turn around, face God, and walk in truth, righteousness, and the grace given through Messiah. Perfect for anyone seeking a deeper, Torah‑rooted understanding of repentance and spiritual transformation.

The Bible reveals a rhythm of life—weekly, yearly, and generational cycles designed to bring balance, renewal, and spiritual clarity. When we embrace Yahweh’s Holy Days, we step into His seasons of repentance, celebration, rest, and restoration.

In this episode, we explore how these biblical cycles help us navigate prosperity and hardship, joy and sorrow, birth and loss, and the natural ebb and flow of a redeemed life. Many believers who leave the mainstream Sunday system discover that much of what they were taught doesn’t align with Scripture. But instead of staying focused on what we’ve rejected, Yahweh invites us to live His way with confidence and joy.

The return of the Messiah is not a moment of fear for those walking in covenant—it’s a day of celebration. This message encourages you to embrace Yahweh’s seasons, walk in hope, and live out the blessings of redemption in Yeshua.

Shalom, and may Yahweh bless you and keep you.

Explore the rich, four‑level biblical meaning of Passover through the lens of PaRDeS (PRDS)—the ancient Hebrew framework for understanding Scripture. This teaching walks through the P’shat, Remez, Drash, and Sod levels of Passover, from Abraham and Isaac, to the Exodus, to the sacrifice of Yeshua, and finally to the prophetic future fulfillment in the coming Kingdom.Learn how each “cup” of Passover reveals deeper layers of God’s plan, how the Exodus connects to Messiah’s sacrifice, and why the fourth cup remains a powerful mystery yet to unfold. Perfect for Bible students, teachers, and anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of Scripture and the Passover season.

Explore the full meaning and schedule of the Spring Holy Days in 2026, including Passover, Unleavened Bread, and the unique observance Yeshua commanded: the Night He Was Betrayed. This teaching walks through each appointed time with clarity, scripture, and practical guidance for believers observing outside the Land in a New Covenant context.

We cover:

- The Night He Was Betrayed — why Yeshua told us to commemorate it, and how we observe it on Tuesday, March 31 at sundown

- Why accuracy matters and why this observance is unique among Torah‑keepers, Jews, and mainstream Christians

- Holy days in exile — what can and cannot be done without a temple, priesthood, or agriculture

- Removing leaven before Wednesday, April 1 and how to apply the command today

- Passover and the start of Unleavened Bread at sundown on April 1, including our New Covenant Seder focused on the New Jerusalem

- ULB Day 1 on Thursday, April 2 — a High Sabbath gathering

- First Fruits discussion on Shabbat, April 4 — what applies today and what does not

- Last Day of Unleavened Bread on April 8 — a day of renewal, fellowship, and reflection on the resurrection

This video is designed to help believers honor YHVH’s appointed times with care, understanding, and obedience—without adding what Scripture forbids or removing what it commands.

The Messiah Confrontation: Why Israel Knohl Says the Pharisees Wouldn’t Have Executed Yeshua

In this video, I review Professor Israel Knohl’s groundbreaking book The Messiah Confrontation, a work I first discovered through the excellent Kedem YouTube channel. Knohl argues that Yeshua’s execution was not the result of Pharisaic hostility—since the Pharisees, the ancestors of Rabbinic Judaism, would not have condemned Him—but rather the outcome of a trial dominated by Sadducees, a sect that no longer exists. Knohl laments that centuries of Christian–Jewish tension have been fueled by blaming “the Jews,” even though the group responsible disappeared long ago.

From a Christian perspective, I highlight an important point: if Yeshua is the Messiah, then His innocent death was necessary to fulfill prophecy. Without His death and resurrection, there is no Messiah and nothing for the crowds in Acts 2 to repent of. Antisemitism, which long predates Yeshua’s crucifixion, stems from ancient hatred of the children of Abraham—not from the gospel story itself.

Knohl devotes most of the book to tracing the development of messianic expectation in the Tanakh, the Qumran texts, and first century Judaism. He explains why many Jews expected a warrior king who would overthrow Rome, and why Yeshua’s message challenged those assumptions. While I disagree with Knohl’s rejection of Yeshua as the Messiah, his scholarship is honest, rigorous, and fair toward both Jewish and Christian traditions.

I recommend this book to anyone who loves deep, academic study of Scripture and the history of God’s people. Knohl’s treatment of messianic divinity alone is worth the read. My one critique is that he does not address Daniel 9, where the Messiah is linked to the destruction of Judea—something Yeshua explicitly referenced when He foretold the fall of the Temple.

If you enjoy serious biblical scholarship, this book is a treasure. I’ve also linked Knohl’s interview on the Kedem channel so you can explore his ideas firsthand. Shalom, and may YHVH bless you and keep you in the Name of Yeshua.

The prophet Hosea issued a stark warning about rejecting knowledge. Today, we have all the knowledge on earth available in our pockets. Please take the time to test what you've been taught in church. Don't believe it just because the internet says it, but chase down the links and discover what's true and what's fake yourself!

In this episode, we explore what the Second Commandment truly prohibits and how believers can navigate a world filled with images, symbols, and religious artwork. Scripture doesn’t ban all imagery—only images used for worship or rooted in pagan practice.

We look at biblical examples of God‑approved imagery, the historical origins of crosses and goddess statues, and why certain symbols have no place in a biblical faith. We also examine what is commanded—mezuzot, tzitziyot, and physical reminders of obedience—and how to decorate our homes and congregations with discernment.

This teaching challenges long‑held traditions, exposes the pagan roots behind common religious symbols, and calls believers back to clear biblical obedience.

Perfect for listeners seeking deeper understanding of Torah, biblical holiness, and the difference between true worship and idolatry

Understanding when to listen to people—and when to stop—is a biblical command, not a personality trait. This teaching walks through the ancient hierarchy of prophets, teachers, and Scripture, and compares it to the modern world where everyone has access to a Bible but few actually know it.

We explore how Torah, the Prophets, Yeshua, and the Apostles gave clear tests for identifying true prophets and rejecting false teachers, even when their predictions come true.

🔥 What This Teaching Covers

• How the Bible Identifies True Prophets

Deuteronomy 13 shows that accuracy alone does not prove authenticity. A prophet can be correct and still be false if their message leads people away from YHVH.

• Why Ancient Israel Had a Rigid Spiritual Hierarchy

Scripture was rare, handwritten, and expensive. Only a few had access. Today, we have the opposite problem: everyone has access, but few read it.

• The Role of Teachers vs Prophets

Modern culture often merges all spiritual gifts into one leader. Scripture says the opposite—gifts are distributed across the congregation, not concentrated in one person.

• Isaiah’s Warning: “To the Law and the Testimony”

A true prophet cannot contradict Torah or the Prophets. Isaiah 8 expands the test beyond miracles to consistency with Scripture.

• Saul’s Downfall: Consulting the Wrong Voices

1 Chronicles 10 shows that even when a medium gives the right answer, the source is still forbidden.

• Daniel 9 and Yeshua’s Confirmation of Coming Desolation

Daniel prophesied the destruction of Jerusalem. Yeshua affirmed it. Many in the first century ignored the parts they didn’t want to hear—a warning for us today.

• Rose‑Colored Glasses and Modern Bias

People—scholars included—tend to hear what they want to hear. Emotion often overrides truth, whether in religion, scholarship, or everyday life.

• Paul’s Warning About “Itching Ears”

2 Timothy 4 describes our generation perfectly: people accumulating teachers who tell them what they want to hear, not what Scripture says.

⚠️ Why This Matters Today

We live in a time when:

• People follow “prophets” who don’t work miracles
• Teachers contradict Scripture and still gain massive followings
• Many believers have never read the Bible cover to cover
• Scholars uncover truth but still cling to their own traditions
• Media personalities shape beliefs more than Scripture does

Knowing the Bible is the only defense.
Testing every voice is a command.
Rejecting false teachers is obedience, not judgmentalism.

📖 Key Scriptures Covered

Deuteronomy 13 • Isaiah 8 • 1 Chronicles 10 • Daniel 9 • Luke 19 • 2 Timothy 4 • Acts 2
