ESSENTIAL STUDIES
Numbers 33, Finding Messiah in the journey from Egypt
Additional studies: Numbers Index
Israel’s journey from slavery to freedom: Passover (crucifixion) → Red Sea (burial) → Marah (after three days, resurrection, when bitterness is turned to sweetness) → Oasis of Elim (rest). There were twelve wells of water feeding seventy palm trees at Elim, because the twelve tribes of Israel are the source of blessing which nourish the seventy nations, that is, all the nations, so that the nations may enter into His rest also through Messiah Yeshua. Here is the Torah preaching Messiah and the Gospel of grace again.
Psalm 96, The good news of His salvation
Additional studies: Psalms Book Four (90-106) Index
Sing to YHVH, bless His name; proclaim the good news of His salvation from day to day. Psa 96:2
Do we realize that the Gospel – the good news of His salvation – did not appear out of thin air with the birth of Messiah Yeshua, but that there has been one Gospel, one good news of YHVH’s salvation proclaimed from Genesis and the entire Hebrew Testament without deviation?
2 Corinthians 7, Chiastic structure
Additional studies: Corinthians Index
The Scripture teaches that all sin hurts someone. If God says something is a sin, then in His great wisdom, He understands how it hurts someone, even if we don’t. We need to accept that God is smarter than we are, that what He says is sin, is sin; and be mortified by it. We have to have our own minds renewed first, and we must go to the Law to renew it on this topic.
