Rabbi Brian Bileci teaches Part 9 of this Revelation Study to demystify Ancient Jewish Wisdom from the Apocalyptic Writing of the Book of Revelation, as he breaks down Symbols, Seals, Seasons and the Signs of Messiah's Coming. This week rabbi breaks down who are the 7 churches mention in Revelation 1:1-3:22. He explains how these seven congregation of Asia Minor were Messianic Communities or congregations that were being taught the Messianic Prophecies of the Coming Messiah in synagogues that housed both Jews that believed in Yeshua, as well as Gentiles who left their former pagan lifestyles to follow Him. He breaks down the ultimate purpose behind these seven congregations, and how they relate to seven types of believers in the Body of Messiah. SEVEN CHURCHES OR CONGREGATIONS: 1. EPHESUS: overzealous believers who forsook its first love – Rev. 2:1-7 2. SMYRNA: persecuted believers who suffered for Messiah – Rev. 2:8-11 3. PERGAMOS: compromising believers that need to repent – Rev. 2:12-17 4. THYATIRA: morally corrupt believers with false doctrine – Rev. 2:18-29 5. SARDIS: dead believers that are spiritually asleep – Rev. 3:1-6 6. PHILADELPHIA: overcoming believers with brotherly love – Rev. 3:7-13 7. LAODICEA: materialistic believers with lukewarm faith – Rev. 3:14-22 AUTHOR: The student of Jesus, “John the Beloved”, was the one who received and wrote down this revelation of the Coming Messiah, while he imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos by the Roman Empire. OCCUPATION: He was a Fisherman, who became a “Fisher of Men”, as a disciple and later an apostle of Jesus. As the youngest disciple of the Messiah, he learned about the “End of Days” from the Master Himself, over a 3 ½ year training period. PURPOSE FOR WRITING THE REVELATION: 1. To write the things John saw: Vision of Messiah's Return - Revelation 1 2. To write the things that are: Seven Churches which “are” in Asia - Revelation 2 & 3 3. To write the things which will take place after this: Tribulation - Revelation 4-22 AUDIENCES: 1. The Body of Believers in Messiah 2. The Nation of Israel, Scattered Tribes and the Jewish Community as a whole 3. The Kingdom of the Antichrist, or False Messiah, and his world system

Numbers 16:1 “Now Korah [Korach קֹרַח], son of Izhar son of Kohath son of Levi, and sons of Reuben—Dathan and Abiram, sons of Eliab, and On son of Peleth— 2 rose up against Moses and took 250 men from Bnei-Yisrael, men of renown [JPS: "princes of the congregation"] who had been appointed to the council. 3 They assembled against Moses and Aaron. They said to them, “You’ve gone too far! All the community is holy—all of them—and Adonai is with them! Then why do you exalt yourselves above the assembly [Septuagint: "synagogue"] of Adonai?” TLV Acts 7:37 “This is that Moses...38 This is he, that was in the CHURCH ["ekklesia"] in the wilderness with the angel which spake to him in the mount Sina, and with our fathers: who received the lively oracles to give unto us. KJV MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 5:12 For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God; and you have come to need milk and not solid food. NKJV 1. TRIBAL WARS HAS TAUGHT US THE IMPORTANCE OF FOLLOWING MOSES Jude 1:4 For certain individuals, the ones written about long ago...11 Woe to them...they have been destroyed in the rebellion of Korach...18 They told you, “During the acharit-hayamim there will be scoffers following their own godless passions.” 19 These are the people who cause divisions. They are controlled by their impulses, because they don’t have the Spirit. CJB 1 Corinthians 10:1 For, brothers, I don’t want you to miss the significance of what happened to our fathers…11 These things happened to them as prefigurative historical events, and they were written down as a warning to us who are living in the acharit-hayamim. CJB 2. TRIBAL WARS CONTINUE TO WARN US ABOUT NOT FOLLOWING THE WAYS OF KORACH Isaiah 63:10 But they rebelled, and grieved His Ruach HaKodesh. So He turned to become their enemy. He Himself fought against them. 11 Then His people remembered the days of old, the days of Moses: “Where is He who brought them through the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put among them His Ruach ha-Kodesh? CJB What is Messianic Judaism all about? • Israel was the first congregation or "church in the wilderness.” • Moses was the first “pastor” of the sheep of Israel. • The Messiah came to gather the lost sheep or tribes of Israel. • The 12 Apostles of the Lamb would rule over the 12 tribes of Israel. • Gentile believers in Messiah are wild olive branches and are grafted into the family tree of Israel. • Gentile believers in Messiah are part of the commonwealth of Israel. • Together, Jews and Gentiles, fulfill the covenant to Abraham, when they put their faith in Messiah. • Messianic Judaism is based upon the original teachings of the Torah of Moses, but it’s also the original teachings of the Messiah. • Yeshua taught the Torah, the Prophets, and the writings of the Hebrew Scriptures, since the New Testament was not even written yet. • He taught His disciples that He did not come to destroy the law or the Prophets, but to fulfill them, by doing them first, then teaching them to others. • How does Messianic Judaism differ from Protestant Christianity or Catholicism? Well, let’s start with what is alike. • We worship the same God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. • We believe in the same Messiah of Israel, Yeshua HaMashiach, A.K.A., “Jesus the Christ.” • Both recognize that the greatest commandments are to “love God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength,” and the second would be to “love your neighbor as yourself.” • Now let’s talk about what makes us different. • The very commandments mentioned come from the Torah that God gave Moses to give to Israel. • Those two commandments, cannot be the two greatest commandments of the Torah, if you believe that the Torah no longer is applicable for believers today. • We can’t take part of the Scriptures, and not study all of it... • Teaching only part of the Word of God is like building a house on a firm foundation, and once the house is built, demolishing the foundation and expecting the house to remain standing. • Without the Torah and the Prophets, of the Hebrew Scriptures, we would not even know who the Messiah is, what He came to do, or the sacrifice He would have to make, to fulfill His mission. • Many want to make the resurrection of Yeshua, after His death, the final blow that demolishes the 10 Commandments... • If the Torah has been done away with, then everything Yeshua taught for 3 1/2 years, will become “null and void” and have no power, purpose, or meaning. • The question is, how do we follow the Messiah, if we’re not willing to follow what He taught? Matthew 5:17 “Don’t think that I have come to abolish the Torah or the Prophets. I have come not to abolish but to complete [KJV “fulfill”]... CJB 3. TRIBAL WARS TEACHES US, THAT TO STUDY THE TORAH AS MESSIANIC BELIEVERS, MAKES US DISCIPLES OF THE MESSIAH

Rabbi Brian Bileci teaches Part 8 of this Revelation Study to demystify Ancient Jewish Wisdom from the Apocalyptic Writing of the Book of Revelation, as he breaks down Symbols, Seals, Seasons and the Signs of Messiah's Coming. This week rabbi breaks down who are the 24 elders mention in Revelation 4 & 5. He explains how the number 24 is connected to the 24 orders or courses of priests established by King David and Zadok the High Priest, to serve in shifts in Solomon's Temple, recorded in 1 Chronicles 24:1-19. Then he examines the structure of the "New Jerusalem,' with its 12 foundations that have the names of the 12 Apostles of the Lamb inscribed on each one, and the 12 pearly gates for the 12 sons of Jacob, which are the names of the 12 tribes of Israel. Twelve plus twelve equals twenty-four elders, who are kings and priests unto God. These elders are representatives of "Old Testament believers,'" and "New Testament believers," as God "royal priesthood," or the "Heavenly Sanhedrin" judges that will rule and reign with the Messiah for one thousand years in the Millenium of the Messianic Days to come. nnAUTHOR:nThe student of Jesus, u201cJohn the Belovedu201d, was the one who received and wrote down this revelation of the Coming Messiah, while he imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos by the Roman Empire.nnOCCUPATION:nHe was a Fisherman, who became a u201cFisher of Menu201d, as a disciple and later an apostle of Jesus.

Rabbi Brian reveals the essential principles of SERVANT LEADERSHIP that can be seen in the lives of Moses, Joshua, and most importantly, Yeshua the Messiah.

This week rabbi breaks down the Messianic Prophecies concerning the "The Mystery of the Menorah" described in Revelation 1:20.

TRIBE WARS: What Is The Menorah All About? from Parashat Behaalotecha by Rabbi Brian BilecinnNumbers 8:1 Adonai said to Moshe, 2u00a0u201cTell Aharon, u2018When you set up [Behau2019alotecha] the lamps, the seven lamps are to CAST THEIR LIGHT forward, in front of the menorah."nnB'MIDBAR / Numbers 8:1 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 2 u201cSpeak to Aaron and say to him: When you erect the lamps, the seven lamps are to ILLUMINATE the area in front of the menorah. TLVnnSH'MOT / Exodus 25:31 u201cYou are to make a menorah of pure gold, by hammered work. Its base, stem, cups, bulbs and flowers are to be one piece. 32 There are to be SIX BRANCHES coming out of the sides, three branches of the MENORAH out of one side, and three branches out of the other...37 u201cYou are also to make the SEVEN LAMPS for it, and set the lamps up to shed light over the space before it. TLVnnRevelation 4:2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in whiterobes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. SEVEN LAMPS of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. NKJVnNKJVnn1. THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL HAD THE MENORAH AS A SYMBOL OF SEVENFOLD MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT'S ILLUMINATIONnn1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, u201cNo eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.u201d 10 But God has revealed those things to us by His Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the deep things of God. 11 Is there anyone who can understand his own thoughts except his own inner spirit? In the same way, no one can know the thoughts of God except Godu2019s Spirit. 12 Now, we have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who comes from God, so that we can understand the things that were freely given to us by God. 13 We donu2019t speak about these things with words taught us by human wisdom, but with words taught by the Spirit, as we explain spiritual things to spiritual people. ISVnnPsalm 106:13 But they quickly forgot what He had done; they did not wait for His advice [counsel]. 14 They became greedy for food [developed deep cravings] in the desert [wilderness; Num. 11], and they tested God there [in desolate places; Ex. 17:7]. 15 So he gave them what they wanted [asked for], but He also sent a terrible disease [a wasting sickness; emaciation among them [Num. 11:33u201335]. 32 The people also made the Lord angry at Meribah [81:7; 95:8], and Moses was in trouble because of them. 33 The people turned [rebelled] against the Spirit of God, so Moses spoke without stopping to think [chattered with his lips; Num. 20:10u201311].

For I too am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

They were made Godu2019s children ["sonship"], the Shu2019khinah ["glory"] has been with them, the covenants are theirs, likewise the giving of the Torah, the Temple service and the promises; 5 the Patriarchs are theirs; and from them, as far as his physical descent is concerned, came the Messiah, who is over all.

This week he breaks down the Messianic Prophecies concerning the "Two Witnesses" [described as Moses and Elijah] from Revelation 11. He explains why the common idea that the "Two Witnesses" or "Two Prophets," are most likely, not Enoch and Elijah, since Enoch was never recorded as a prophet to the Nation of Israel, and did none of the miraculous signs and demonstrations of power, as described in the eleventh chapter of the Book of Revelation. As you study this ancient Jewish Wisdom with Rabbi Brian, all the pieces of the puzzle will prophetically come together. So travel through the Scriptures with us to discover who the "Two Witnesses" are.

Ephesians 1:16 I never stop giving thanks for you as I mention you in my prayers 17 that the God of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, our glorious Father, may give you spiritual wisdom [KJV: "The Spirit of Wisdom"] and revelation in knowing Him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened ["understanding"], so that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what is the richness of His glorious inheritance in the kedoshim ["holy ones" or "saints"]. TLV 2 Corinthians 3:3 It is clear that you are a letter from Messiah delivered by us—written not with ink but with the Ruach of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts...13 We are not like Moses, who used to put a veil over his face in order for Bnei-Yisrael not to look intently upon the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were hardened. For up to this very day the same veil remains unlifted at the reading of the ancient covenant, since in Messiah it is passing away. 15 But to this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart. 16 But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit and where the Ruach Adonai is, there is freedom. 18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory—just as from the Lord, who is the Spirit. TLV 1. TRIBAL DISUNITY HARDENS THE HEARTS OF HASHEM'S PEOPLE KEEPING THEIR MINDS VEILED FROM HIS GLORY TEHILLIM / Psalm 122:1...“Let us go to the House of Adonai.” 2 Our feet are standing in your gates, Jerusalem—3 Jerusalem, built as a city joined together. 4 There the tribes go up, the tribes of Adonai—as a testimony to Israel—to praise the Name of Adonai. TLV Exodus 32:28 So the sons of Levi did as Moses said, and that day from among the people there fell about 3,000 men. TLV 2. TRIBAL DISLOYALTY SHATTERED HASHEM'S TORAH AND ROBS US OF OUR WORSHIP Acts 2:1 When the day of Shavuot [Greek: Pentecost; Hebrew: Shavuot; Feast of Weeks] had come, they were all together in one place...46 Day by day they continued with one mind ["in one accord"], spending time at the Temple and breaking bread from house to house. They were sharing meals with gladness and sincerity of heart, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And every day the Lord was adding to their number those being saved. TLV Acts 26:7 It is the promise that our twelve tribes hope to attain, as they earnestly worship night and day...TLV Jacob (James) 1:1 Jacob, a slave of God and of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, To the twelve tribes in the Diaspora: Shalom!

Rabbi Brian Bileci teaches the first half of Part 5 of this Revelation Study to demystify Ancient Jewish Wisdom from the Apocalyptic Writing of the Book of Revelation, as he breaks down Symbols, Seals, Seasons and the Signs of Messiah's Coming. This week he breaks down the Messianic Prophecies concerning the "Righteous Branch" [Tzemach Taddik צֶמַח צַדִּיק] from the Royal Line of King David. This foreshadows the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, as the "Root of David" from Revelation 5:5. AUTHOR: The student of Jesus, “John the Beloved”, was the one who received and wrote down this revelation of the Coming Messiah, while he imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos by the Roman Empire. OCCUPATION: He was a Fisherman, who became a “Fisher of Men”, as a disciple and later an apostle of Jesus. As the youngest disciple of the Messiah, he learned about the “End of Days” from the Master Himself, over a 3 ½ year training period. PURPOSE FOR WRITING THE REVELATION: 1. To write the things John saw: Vision of Messiah's Return - Revelation 1 2. To write the things that are: Seven Churches which “are” in Asia - Revelation 2 & 3 3. To write the things which will take place after this: Tribulation - Revelation 4-22 AUDIENCES: 1. The Body of Believers in Messiah 2. The Nation of Israel, Scattered Tribes and the Jewish Community as a whole 3. The Kingdom of the Antichrist, or False Messiah, and his world system Zechariah 6:10 “Take from the exiles, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah who have come from Babylon, and go the same day, go to the house of Josiah son of Zephaniah! 11 Take silver and gold, make crowns and set on the head of Joshua son of Johozadak, the kohen gadol. 12 Then speak to him saying, “Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot: Behold, a man whose Name is the Branch will branch out from his place and build the Temple of Adonai. 13 He will build the Temple of Adonai. He will bear splendor and sit and rule on His throne. Thus He will be a kohen on His throne. So a counsel of shalom will be between them both. TLV Zechariah 3:6 The angel of Adonai exhorted Joshua [kohen gadol] saying: 7 ‘Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, “If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then you will judge My House and watch over My courts and I will give you a place to walk among these standing here. 8 Listen well, Joshua [Yehoshua / Yeshua] kohen gadol, both you and your companions seated before you, because they are men who are a sign—behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch. TLV Jeremiah 23:3 “I will gather the remnant of My flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and will bring them back to their folds, and they will be fruitful and multiply. 4 I will raise up shepherds over them who will feed them. They will no longer be afraid or dismayed, nor will any be missing,” It is a declaration of Adonai. 5 “Behold, days are coming”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and He will reign as king wisely [or, and prosper], and execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In His days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell in safely; and this is His Name by which He will be called: Adonai our righteousness. TLV Isaiah 11:1 Then a shoot will come forth out of the stem of Jesse [who is King David], and a Branch [The Messiah, Son of David] will bear fruit out of His roots. 2 The Ruach of Adonai will rest upon Him...TLV Isaiah 11:1 A new branch [sprout; shoot;  the Messiah] will grow from the stump of Jesse [ King David’s father; the Messiah will restore David’s royal line]; a branch will ·come [sprout; or bear fruit] from his roots. EXB Psalm 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar, and the peoples mutter vanity? 2 The kings of earth set themselves up and rulers conspire together against Adonai and against His Anointed One [Mashiach: "Messiah"]: ...5 So He will speak to them in His anger, and terrify them in His fury: 6 “I have set up My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.” 7 I will declare the decree of Adonai. He said to me: “You are My Son—today I have become Your Father. 8 Ask Me, and I will give the nations as Your INHERITANCE, and the far reaches of the earth as Your possession. 9 You shall break the nations with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s jar.” TLV

The Book of Revelation and Messianic Prophecies of the Branch with Rabbi Brian Bileci

Rabbi Brian Bileci teaches Part 4 of this Revelation Study to demystify Ancient Jewish Wisdom from the Apocalyptic Writing of the Book of Revelation, as he breaks down Symbols, Seals, Seasons and the Signs of Messiah's Coming. We examine the seven year "shemittah" (also spelled as "sh'mittah"), or "year of release," described in Deuteronomy 15:1. Seven Shemittahs, of 7x7 yrs. equals 49 yrs., to initiate the 50th yr. as a "Jubilee" (or "Yovel" in Hebrew). This special counting helps us understand "Daniel's Seventy Weeks [of years]" and the seven-year "Tribulation Period." The “Book of Revelation” is prophetic apocalyptic writing from the youngest disciple of the Messiah, who learned about the “End of Days” from the Master Himself. He also received special revelation from an angelic messenger through symbolic visions, unveiled seals, special seasons of the Jewish feast days, and heavenly signs of the Messiah’s Coming. This student of the Messiah, known as “John the Beloved,” writes this revelation while he is imprisoned on the Isle of Patmos, in the Aegean Sea by the Roman Empire. The Purpose of his work was to unveil the revelation that Yeshua, is the Messiah. God also revealed to John the things that He wanted to show His servants, concerning the events of the “last days.” This book is full of mysteries concerning “things to come,” or what is commonly called “The End Times.” John’s written account from the Isle of Patmos encourages true believers with a Messianic hope while revealing the final apocalyptic warning before the judgment is poured out. This prophetic letter from John gives us glimpses of heavenly scenes and all of the glories awaiting us, along with the future reign of Messiah over the nations. Revelation takes us through the woes of “Great Tribulation” and the final judgment of God’s Great White Throne [Rev. 20]. The book even reveals that our Adversary, the Devil, will be cast out of the heavenlies to possess the “Beast” or "False Messiah," called the “Antichrist.” Much of John’s revelation is a fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy of “Seventy Weeks” of prophetic years, in Daniel 9:24-27, with the final or seventh week of years equaling seven last years of tribulation. The latter three and a half years are often called the “Great Tribulation” in Eschatology among Biblical scholars. The book ends triumphantly with the “Bride of Messiah,” or overcoming believers ruling and reigning for 1000 years in the “New Jerusalem,” leading up to the “New Heaven & New Earth prophesied in Isaiah 66:22-24. PURPOSE FOR WRITING THE REVELATION: 1. To write the things John saw: Vision of Messiah's Return - Revelation 1 2. To write the things that are: Seven Churches which “are” in Asia - Revelation 2&3 3. To write the things which will take place after this: Tribulation - Revelation 4-22 AUDIENCES: 1. The Body of Believers in Messiah 2. The Nation of Israel, Scattered Tribes and the Jewish Community as a whole 3. The Kingdom of the Antichrist, or False Messiah, and his world system

Numbers 1:1 In the wilderness of Sinai, on the first day of the second month in the second year from the Exodus from the land of Egypt, Adonai spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting saying, 2 u201cDo a head count ["lift up the heads"] of all the community of Bnei-Yisrael by their families and their ancestral house, with a total of every male one by one. 3 You and Aaron are to muster by their divisions every son from 20 years and upward available to serve in the army of Israel. 4 One man from each tribe, each head of his fatheru2019s household, is to assist you. TLVrr nnCHABAD.ORG: HaShem commands Moses to count all Jewish men of military age. HaShem names one member of each TRIBE as the nasi, leader, of the TRIBE. Each nasi will assist Moses and Aaron in taking a census of his TRIBE. An additional objective of this census was to establish the tribal lineage of every Jew...nnNumbers 1:17 So Moses and Aaron took these men designated by name. 18 They assembled all the community on the first day of the second month. They declared their lineage according to their families, the households of their forefathers, with the number of the names of those 20 years old and upward being listed individually. TLVrnn1. TRIBE WARS STARTS WITH A BATTLE FOR TRIBAL IDENTITY nNumbers 1:5 u201cThese then are the names of the men who will assist you: from Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur. 6 From Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai. 7 From Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab. TLVrrnnSH'MOT / Exodus 6:23 Aaron married Elisheba daughter of Amminadav, sister of Nahshon, and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. TLVrrnnGILL'S EXPOSITION: And Aaron took him Elisheba - The same name we pronounce Elizabeth; and of this name was the wife of Zacharias, the father of John the Baptist, Luke 1:5, this woman Aaron took was the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Naashon; a prince of the tribe of Judah, Numbers 7:12, her he took to wife ; or married; for though intermarriages with the several tribes were not allowed, nor used in after times, hat they might be kept distinct, and the inheritances also, yet the tribe of Levi often took wives of other tribes, because they had no inheritance, and were to have none in the land of Canaan, so that confusion in tribes and INHERITANCE was not made hereby; and it is observable, that these marriages were frequently with the tribe of Judah, as signifying the union of the kingly and priestly offices in the Messiah, who sprung from the tribe of Judah:rnn2. TRIBE WARS CONTINUE WITH A BATTLE FOR TRIBAL INHERITANCEnLuke 1:5 In the days of Herod, King of Judah, there was a kohen named Zechariah from the priestly division of Abijah [1 Chron. 24:10].

TLVr rnn1 Chronicles 24:1 Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron were Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father and had no children, so Eleazar and Ithamar served as kohanim. 3 David...divided them into their offices according to their avodah. 4...so they divided them: the sons of Eleazar had 16 leaders of clans and the sons of Ithamar had eight leaders of clans...10 ...the eighth for Abijah.
