Rosh Hashanah, “The Head of the Year,” is the fifth of the seven holy observances mentioned in Leviticus 23. This name is never used in the Scriptures to refer to this feast, despite the fact that it is the most common name used today. This name is used because the Rabbis believed it was on this day that the creation took place. Thus, it has become…

Over the last few months we have been focusing attention on the Spirit of God. We noted that in the Hebrew Scriptures, the Spirit of God is particularly seen in relation to creation, among Israel in the progression of her history, and with respect to Israel during the Messianic Kingdom. Then we turned our attention to what the New Testament Scriptu…

Alan teaches on the Beatitudes from Yeshua’s Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5:3-10. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the Earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfie…

Last week, we noted that the Scriptures, both the Hebrew and New Testament Scriptures, teach that the Spirit of God is a person. The question is, what kind of a person? The Scriptures further teach that He is a divine person. By divine, it does not mean "excellent," or "delightful," although He is certainly that. Rather, by divine, it is meant He i…

In Jewish thought, the Spirit of God is referred to as "the Spirit of the Lord," "the Spirit of God," and "the Holy Spirit" or "Ruach ha-Kodesh" (רוח הקדש). He is often identified with the Shekinah Glory. However, in Jewish thought, the Spirit of God is not understood to be a person. Rather, He is conceived of as a created entity brought into exist…

We continue our study of the Spirit of God. Last week, we focused attention on the ministry of the Spirit of God among the Jewish people, the nation of Israel. As it is among believers today, the Spirit of God dwelt in the midst of his people Israel. The question then comes to mind, "How or in what manner did the Spirit of God dwell in Israel's mid…

In the coming weeks at our services, we are going to focus attention on the Spirit of God, as he is revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures. It is interesting to note that while he is spoken of in both the Hebrew Scriptures and New Testament writings, reference to the Spirit of God is not as pervasive in the Hebrew Scriptures ashhe is in the texts of the…

Psalm 83 is an intriguing psalm. On the surface it is characterized as an imprecatory psalm in which Asaph calls upon God for vengeance by utterly destroying Israel's enemies. But upon deeper reflection, one notices that the psalm is arranged around the three major promises of the covenant God made with Abraham: an eternal nation, an eternal land, …

Rabbi Gary teaches from several scriptures that reveal prophecies concerning Israel, and the Middle Eastern countries that border Israel. He mentions the covenant that God made with Abraham, detailing the boundaries of the land that He promises to Abraham’s descendants. All of today’s countries are included: Egypt; Lebanon; Jordan; Assyria; Iraq; a…

Alan Radecki speaks about Israel’s Independence Day. He reflects on the Jewish prayer, “V’ahavta,” which instructs the Jewish people to always teach their children about God, and what God has done for His children, Israel. Alan recounts the history of Israel’s leaders, judges, and kings from the Old Testament, to compare the differences between chi…

As we continue to learn what God's Word teaches regarding the return of Messiah, we're going to focus attention on who will be "caught up to meet the Lord in the air" (I Thessalonians 4:17). Paul uses the brief phrase, “in Messiah,” in a very technical sense. It is found in the above Thessalonian passage in which the apostle states, "...and the dea…

Rabbi Gary explores what Yeshua teaches regarding his return and the judgment of the nations (Matthew 25:31-46). In this passage we learn the time of this judgment, the subjects of the judgment, the basis of the judgment, and the results of the judgment. While Yeshua does not refer to the place where this judgment will take place, we do learn the a…

We were truly blessed to have 260 attend and experience such a beautiful Passover with everyone who came. Our time of worship and praise was uplifting, joyous and celebrative. Everyone who came had such a wonderful …

As we have already noted the Scriptures teach there are two phases or stages in Messiah's return. In the first stage Messiah will come "personally" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:16), will come "for the believers" (John 14:3; I Thessalonians 4:17) and will come to the clouds (I Thessalonians 4:17). This first stage is referred to as the "rapture" of…

Rabbi Gary continues to consider the promise of Messiah's coming again. Acts 1:9-11 records the ascension of Messiah into the heavens. As Luke records the event, he focuses attention upon what the disciples saw. In verse 9 we read the phrases, "while they were looking," and "a cloud (the Shekinah glory) took Him up away from their sight." Then in v…
