Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. This four and final teaching in this series is about "Hearing & Discerning the Prophetic Voice of the Shofar," from the double portion of Parashat Matot-Masei מַּטּוֹת-מַסְעֵי, in Numbers 30:2-36:13. Isaiah 58:1 “Cry aloud, do not hold back! Raise your VOICE like a SHOFAR. Tell My people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. TLV Hebrew for voice is “kol” קוֹל: voice, sound; from an unused root meaning to call aloud; THAYER’S GREEK DICTIONARY: phōnḗ φωνή - to shine, make clear, from Homer down, Hebrew “kol” קוֹל: voice, sound Genesis 3:8 They heard the VOICE of Adonai, God, walking in the garden at the time of the evening breeze [“ru’ach hayom” רוּחַ הַיֹּום “wind, breath, or spirit of the day”]...10 He answered, “I heard your VOICE in the garden.. CJB 1. THE PROPHETIC SOUND OF THE SHOFAR REVEALS THE VOICE OF GOD Ram’s Horn - shofar or shofarot שׁוֹפָרוֹת a cornet (as giving a clear sound) or curved horn:—cornet, trumpet. Exodus 19:19 When the sound of the shofar grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him with a thunderous sound. TLV Exodus 20:18 ...the sound of the shofar, and the mountain smoking. When the people saw it...TLV MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 12:19 and to the blast of a shofar and a voice whose words made those who heard it beg that not another word be spoken to them...TLV Leviticus 23:24 ...a memorial of blowing shofarot [“zikaron t’ruah”], a holy convocation. TLV Leviticus 25:9 Then on the tenth day of the seventh month, on Yom Kippur, you are to sound a shofar blast...10 ...proclaim liberty throughout the land to all its inhabitants. ...11 That fiftieth year will be your Jubilee... TLV Yoram Ettinger says that the word shofar has its root in the Hebrew word for enhancement and improvement [le’shaper לְשַׁפֵּר - to improve] 2. THE PROPHETIC SOUND OF THE SHOFAR REMINDS US OF GOD’S CALL TO REPENT AND IMPROVE Like in Rosh Hashanah ["Feast of Trumpets"]...year of the Jubilee. ...The Hebrew spelling of shofar, שופר, is a derivative of the verb שפר, which means to enhance — an unending, uphill effort (sometimes, against all odds) for improvement. There are three main types of shofar blasts — tekiah, shevarim and t’ruah. There is actually a fourth type, tekiah gedolah, which is just a longer version of the fiest type of blast, called tekiah. Tekiah - Long blast to summon us for a coming groom, coming king, or for the coronation ceremony of a king. Shevarim - means “breaks” or “fractures” which are three medium-length shofar blasts resembling the sound of weeping, as a call of teshuvah, to return to God, in complete repentance. T’ruah - a series of very short, staccato blasts that have been compared to an urgent alarm, calling us to awaken from a spiritual slumber Mishneh Torah - Laws concerning the Shofar: Although the sounding of the shofar on Rosh Hashanah is a Torah decree, there is an allusion in it as well. It says: “Be roused, sleepers, from your sleep, and slumberers, wake from your slumber; search your deeds [“examine your conduct”] and return in teshuvah [or “repentance”], and remember your Creator! Mishneh Torah, Laws of Teshuvah, 3:4 Recite before Me on Rosh HaShanah verses that mention Kingship, Remembrances, and Shofarot: Kingships...as King over you; Remembrances...with what will the remembrance rise?...with the sound of the shofar. - Talmud, Rosh Hashanah 16a Revelation 1:10 I was in the Ruach [Spirit] on the Day of the Lord, and I heard behind me a loud VOICE like that of a trumpet. TLV Ezekiel 3:12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a VOICE of a great rushing... Horn of the Jubilee - keren hayovel; Trumpet / Cornet - chatzotzerot חֲצֹצְרָה ; Greek: salpigx σάλπιγξ Numbers 10:1 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver for yourself. They are for summoning the community and having the camps set out...5 When you sound the trumpet the first time, the camp of those camped on the east is to set out... TLV a. Prophetic Leaders are First-Responders to the Prophetic Voice of God. b. Prophetic Leaders are Congregational Gatherers that assist God’s People to discern His Voice. Prophetic People are Positioned to Hear, yet Prepared to Move at the Sound of God’s Voice. Matthew 24:30 Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, ..31 He will send out His angels with a great shofar, and they will gather together His chosen ..TLV 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord Himself shall come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the blast of God’s shofar, and the dead in Messiah shall rise first.” TLV 3.

Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. This third teaching in this series is about "Testing the Spirit and Validity of Prophecy" from Parashat Pinchas פִּינְחָס, in Numbers 25:10-30:1. Numbers 25:10 Then Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 11 “Phinehas son of Eleazar son of Aaron the kohen has turned away My anger from Bnei-Yisrael because he was very zealous for Me among them, so that I did not put an end to Bnei-Yisrael in My zeal...16 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 17 “Deal with the Midianites as enemies and strike them. 18 For they have been enemies to you in their DECEPTIONS of you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a Midianite prince, their sister who was slain on the day of the PLAGUE on account of the Peor incident.” TLV 1 John 4:1 Loved ones, do not believe every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS to see if they are from God. For many FALSE PROPHETS have gone out into the world. 2 You know the Ruach Elohim by this—every spirit that acknowledges that Messiah Yeshua has come in human flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Yeshua is not from God. This is the spirit of the ANTI-MESSIAH [or the “FALSE MESSIAH”], which you have heard is coming and now is already in the world...6...By this we know the SPIRIT OF TRUTH and the SPIRIT OF ERROR. TLV Revelation 19:10b...WORSHIP GOD! For the TESTIMONY OF YESHUA is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.” TLV THE GUIDELINES OF PROPHECY: D’VARIM / Deuteronomy 13:1 (12:32) “Whatever I command you, you must take care to do—you are not to add to it or take away from it. 2 “Suppose a prophet or a dreamer of dreams rises up among you and gives you a sign or wonder, ...4 You must not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams—for Adonai your God is TESTING you, to find out whether you love Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul. 5 Adonai your God you will follow and Him you will fear. His mitzvot you will keep, to His voice you will listen, Him you will serve and to Him you will cling.TLV MESSIANIC JEWS / Hebrews 5:12 For although you ought to be teachers by this time, again you need someone to teach you the basics of God’s sayings [KJV: “first principles of the ORACLES of God”]. You have come to need milk, not solid food. 13 For anyone living on milk is inexperienced with the teaching about righteousness—he is an infant. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who through practice have their senses trained to DISCERN both GOOD and EVIL. TLV Acts 7:37 This is the Moses who said to the sons of Israel, ‘God will raise up for you a PROPHET like me from your brethren.’ 38 ...he received LIVING ORACLES [of the Torah] to pass on to you. NASV 1. PROPHECY MUST BE TESTED BY THE GUIDELINES OF THE TORAH THE GUARDRAILS OF PROPHECY: KEFA BET / 2 Peter 2:1 But FALSE PROPHETS also arose among the people, just as there will also be FALSE TEACHERS among you. They will secretly bring in destructive heresies...15 They have abandoned the STRAIGHT WAY. They have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor...18...they ENTICE in sensual fleshly passions those who are barely escaping from those who live in ERROR. TLV Jude 1:11 Woe to them! For they went the way of Cain; they were consumed for pay in Balaam’s ERROR; and in Korah’s rebellion they have been destroyed. TLV B’MIDBAR / Numbers 25:1 While Israel was staying in Shittim, the people began to have immoral sexual relations with women from Moab. 2 Then they invited the people to the SACRIFICES OF THEIR GODS, so the people were eating, and BOWING DOWN before their gods. 3 When Israel became bound to Baal of Peor, the anger of Adonai grew hot against Israel. TLV 2. PROPHECY IS VALIDATED AS TRUTH BY THE GUARDRAILS OF THE TORAH THE GOAL OF PROPHECY: 1 Corinthians 14:3...someone prophesying is speaking to people, EDIFYING, ENCOURAGING and COMFORTING them...12 Likewise with you: since you eagerly seek the things of the Spirit, seek especially what will help in EDIFYING the congregation. CJB The charismatic manifestation gift of prophecy has a threefold goal: TO EDIFY - Prophecy should build you up and not tear you down TO ENCOURAGE - Prophecy should encourage you up and not discourage you TO COMFORT - Prophecy should comfort you and not cause discomfort MATTITYAHU / Matthew 7:15 “Watch out for FALSE PROPHETS...22 Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, didn’t we prophesy in Your name, and drive out demons in Your name, and perform many miracles in Your name?’ 23 Then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from Me, you workers of lawlessness!’” TLV Revelation 19:10b...WORSHIP GOD! For the TESTIMONY OF YESHUA is the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY.” TLV 3. PROPHECY MUST TESTIFY OF THE MESSIAH AS THE GOAL OF THE TORAH

Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im נְבִיאִים, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. This second teaching in this series is about "Revealing the Mystery of Prophecy" from Parashat Balak בלק, in Numbers 22:2-25:9. Numbers 22:2 When Balak son of Zippor, realized all that Bnei-Yisrael had done to the Amorites, 3 Moab became terrified because there were so many people. Moab was filled with dread because of Bnei-Yisrael. TLV Numbers 22:4 Moab said to the elders of Midian, “The multitude will lick up everything around us like the ox licks up the grass of the field.” Now Balak son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time. 5 He sent messengers to summon Balaam son of Beor, at Pethor near the River in his native land, saying to him, “Look now, a people has come out of Egypt. See now, they cover the surface of the earth and are settling beside me. TLV Genesis 36:1 Now these are the genealogies of Esau (that is, Edom)…15 These are the chiefs from Esau’s sons. The sons of Eliphaz, Esau’s firstborn were chief Teman, chief Omar, chief Zepho, chief Kenaz, 16 chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek…31 Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel. 32 Bela son of Beor reigned in Edom—the name of his city was Dinhabah. TLV Genesis 26:34 When Esau was 40 years old, he took as wife Judith the daughter of Be-eri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. 35 But they caused a BITTERNESS of spirit for Isaac and Rebekah. TLV Proverbs 17:24 A foolish son is grief to his father and BITTERNESS to her that bore him. TLV Hebrews 12:14 PURSUE SHALOM with everyone, and the HOLINESS without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God; and see to it that no BITTER ROOT springs up and causes trouble, and by it many be defiled. 16 Also see to it that there is no immoral or godless person—like Esau, who sold his BIRTHRIGHT for one meal. 17 For you know that later, when he wanted to inherit the BLESSING, he was rejected. He found no chance for repentance, though he begged for it with tears. TLV 2 Peter 2:1 But FALSE PROPHETS also arose among the people, just as there will also be FALSE TEACHERS among you. They will secretly bring in DESTRUCTIVE HERESIES. They will even deny the Master who bought them—bringing swift destruction upon themselves. 2 Many will follow their IMMORAL WAYS, and as a result the WAY of the TRUTH will be maligned. 3 In their GREED they will exploit you with FALSE WORDS. Their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber. 13 They will be paid back for what they have done—evil for evil...15 They have abandoned the straight way. They have gone astray. They have followed the way of Balaam the son of Beor...TLV 1. DEMYSTIFYING PROPHECY REVEALS THE WAY OF TRUTH FROM THE TORAH AND REVEALS ERROR 1 Peter 1:19 Furthermore, we have the reliable prophetic word...20 Above all understand this: no PROPHECY of Scripture comes about from a person’s own interpretation. 21 For no PROPHECY was ever brought forth by human will; rather, people spoke from God as they were moved by the Ruach HaKodesh. TLV Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is like the wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the hardness of his countenance is changed. AMPC Who is like the wise man: Who in the world is as esteemed as a wise man? and who knows the meaning of a thing: Heb. פֵשֶּׁר, the interpretation, as we find regarding Daniel; because of his wisdom-for [because] he was wise in the fear of Heaven, the secrets of interpretations were revealed to him. Who is like Moses, who made compromises (פְּשָּׁרִים) between Israel and their Father in Heaven? Wand the boldness of his face is changed: from that of other people, to the extent that (Exodus 34:30) they feared to approach him because the skin of his face was radiant. 1 Peter 1:10 The PROPHETS, who spoke about the grace that was to be yours, searched for this salvation and INVESTIGATED carefully. 11 They were trying to find out the TIME and CIRCUMSTANCES the Ruach [or Spirit] of Messiah within them was indicating, when PREDICTING the sufferings in store for Messiah and the glories to follow. TLV Exodus 34:29 Now it happened, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai... the skin of his face was radiant, because God had spoken with him. 30 When Aaron and all Bnei-Yisrael saw Moses, the skin of his face shone in rays, so they were afraid to come near him.

Rabbi Brian Brian Baruch Bileci unlocks ancient Jewish Wisdom to demystify the office of the prophets, or Nevi'im u05e0u05b0u05d1u05b4u05d9u05d0u05b4u05d9u05dd, of the Hebrew Scriptures, the prophets of the first century "Followers of the Way," and the charismatic gift of prophecy. When we look at the writings of Moses, we are given instructions for daily living, but when we read the prophets, there seems to be a more corrective element to their profound words. Prophets are sent on assignment to address kings, nations, sin barriers and covenantal conflicts. When the nation that God has chosen as His own refuses to live within His covenant terms or boundaries, the prophets would speak forth, u201cThus saith the Lord,u201d to remedy the problem. Their goal was always to reconcile the nation back to God and cause them to return in complete repentance to His Torah and divine path. The word prophet in Hebrew is u201cnavi" u05e0u05b8u05d1u05b4u05d9u05d0, but in English it is derived from the Greek word, u201cprophetesu201d u03c0u03c1u03bfu03c6u03aeu03c4u03b7u03c2, meaning to u201cspeak forth.u201d They were singled out by God Himself to represent His holiness and declare His authority over every situation that needed to be realigned to Godu2019s will. Some prophets operated solely as u201cseers,u201d receiving Godu2019s revelation through visions and dreams, while others were like ambassadors, and functioned as spokesmen for the Father in heaven. Moses was definitely different from all other prophets of the Hebrew Scriptures, since God declared that only to him, did He choose to speak u201cface to faceu201d [Exodus 33:11; Numbers 12:8; Deuteronomy 34:10]. This was true, until the Messiah came, as the writer of Hebrews explains in Hebrews1:1-2. There is also a difference between the office of the Prophet, and the manifestation or charismatic gift of prophecy. The office is a full-time position, that requires the individual to totally surrender to this unique prophetic call as a lifetime career. While the occasional charismatic prophetic utterance was less frequent, it can be manifested in the life of any Spirit-filled believer who yields to this spoken gift, as often as the Spirit wills.nnThe prophets of the Bible are defined by their function, as we see first in the Torah.

Hear and obey Him in all that He shall say to you. 23 And it shall be that every soul that will not listen to that Prophet shall be completely cut off from the people.u2019 24 Indeed, all the prophets who have spoken from Samuel on have announced these days. 25 You are the sons of the prophets and also of the covenant that God cut with your fathers, saying to Abraham, u2018In your seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.u2019 26 God raised up His Servant and sent Him first to you, to bless you all by turning each of you from your wicked ways.u201d TLVnnJohn 1:45 u201cWeu2019ve found the One that Moses in the Torah, and also the prophets, wrote about..TLVnnn3.

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. The prophet Isaiah's four "Servant Songs" are explained to reveal the "SUFFERING SERVANT" ministry of the "Lamb of God," whose LEADERSHIP shine brightly as the "LIGHT TO THE NATIONS."nnNumbers 13:23 u201cAdonai spoke to Moses saying, 2 u201cSend some men on your behalf to investigate the land of Canaan, which I am giving to Bnei-Yisrael. Each man you are to send will be a prince of the tribe of his fathers, a man from each tribe.u201d 3 So according to the word of Adonai, Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran.

The Mystery of the Menorah from the Book of Revelation - Part 7 by Rabbi Brian Bileci Rabbi Brian Bileci teaches the second half of Part 7 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 the Messianic Prophecies concerning the "The Mystery of the Menorah" described in Revelation 1:20. He explains how the menorah is a symbol for the nation of Israel, and how it is applied to the "seven church," or "seven Messianic congregations," that John the Apostle writes to in Asia Minor [or present-day Turkey]. 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 "Mystery of the Menorah." 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 Revelation 11:1 Then a measuring rod like a staff was given to me, saying, “Get up and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count those worshiping in it. 2 But do not measure the court outside the Temple—leave it out, because it has been given to the nations, and they shall trample the holy city for forty-two months. 3 And I will grant authority to My two witnesses and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, dressed in sackcloth.” 4 These are the two olive trees and the two menorot that are standing before the Lord of the earth. 5 If anyone wishes to harm them, fire comes out of their mouths and consumes their enemies. If anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These two have the power to shut the heavens, so that no rain may fall during the days of their prophesying. And they have power over the waters to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish. TLV

TRIBE WARS: What Is The Menorah All About? from Parashat Behaalotecha by Rabbi Brian Bileci Numbers 8:1 Adonai said to Moshe, 2 “Tell Aharon, ‘When you set up [Beha’alotecha] the lamps, the seven lamps are to CAST THEIR LIGHT forward, in front of the menorah." B'MIDBAR / Numbers 8:1 Adonai spoke to Moses saying, 2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him: When you erect the lamps, the seven lamps are to ILLUMINATE the area in front of the menorah. TLV SH'MOT / Exodus 25:31 “You 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 “You are also to make the SEVEN LAMPS for it, and set the lamps up to shed light over the space before it. TLV Revelation 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. NKJV NKJV 1. THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL HAD THE MENORAH AS A SYMBOL OF SEVENFOLD MINISTRY OF THE SPIRIT'S ILLUMINATION 1 Corinthians 2:9 But as it is written, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined the things that God has prepared for those who love Him.” 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 God’s 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 don’t 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. ISV Psalm 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. 11:33–35]. 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. 20:10–11]. EXB Acts 7:51 “O you stiff-necked people! You uncircumcised of heart and ears! You always resist the Ruach HaKodesh ["Holy Spirit"]; just as your fathers did, you do as well. TLV 2. THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL THAT RESISTED THE HOLY SPIRIT WERE STIFF-NECKED IN SPIRITUAL REBELLION Romans 3:1 Then what advantage has the Jew? What is the value of being circumcised? 2 Much in every way! In the first place, the Jews were entrusted with the very words of God. CJB Romans 11:1 I say then, God has not rejected His people, has He? May it never be! For I too am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. TLV Acts 21:39 Sha’ul said, “I am a Jew from Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of an important city; and I ask your permission to let me speak to the people.” Romans 9:1 I am speaking the truth — as one who belongs to the Messiah, I do not lie; and also bearing witness is my conscience, governed by the Ruach HaKodesh ["Holy Spirit"]: 2 my grief is so great, the pain in my heart so constant, 3 that I could wish myself actually under God’s curse and separated from the Messiah, if it would help my brothers, my own flesh and blood, 4 the people of Isra’el! They were made God’s children ["sonship"], the Sh’khinah ["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. Praised be Adonai for ever! Amen. CJB Zechariah 12:9 It shall be in that day that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10 “And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes, they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn. NKJV 3. THE TRIBES OF ISRAEL WILL ONE DAY SEE THE MESSIAH BY THE RUACH, THROUGH A SPIRITUAL REVELATION

The Two Witnesses? - Revelation part 6a with Rabbi Brian Bileci Rabbi Brian Bileci teaches the second half of Part 6 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 "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.

Numbers 6:24 ‘Adonai bless you and keep you! 25 Adonai make His face to shine on you and be gracious to you! 26 Adonai turn His face toward you and grant you shalom!’ TLV TEHILLIM / Psalm 67:1(0) For the leader. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song: 2(1) God, be gracious to us, and bless us. May he make His FACE SHINE toward us, (Selah)...7(6) The earth has yielded its harvest; may God, our God, bless us. 8 (7) May God continue to bless us, so that all the ends of the earth will fear Him. TLV MENORAH PSALM: ...The 7 verses of this "Menorah Psalm" reminds us of the 7 weeks for counting the Omer, and the 49 words remind us of the 49 days to arrive to Shavuot... Exodus 34:22 “Observe the festival of Shavu‘ot with the first-gathered produce of the wheat harvest, and the festival of ingathering at the turn of the year. 23 Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Lord, Adonai, the God of Isra’el...29 When Moshe came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand, he didn’t realize that the skin of his face was sending out rays of light as a result of his talking with [Adonai]...35 But when the people of Isra’el saw Moshe’s face, that the skin of Moshe’s face shone, he would put the veil back over his face until he went in again to speak with [Adonai]. CJB Isaiah 60:1 Arise, shine, for your light has come! The glory of Adonai has risen on you. TLV TEHILLIM / Psalm 4:6 (7) Many are asking, “Who will help us to see better days?” Lord, may the light of your favor [TLV: "face"] shine upon us. ISV AMIDAH - Sh'moneh Esrei: Establish peace, goodness, blessing, grace, kindness, and compassion upon us and all your people Israel. Bless us, Our Father, all of us as one, with the LIGHT OF YOUR FACE; for with the LIGHT OF YOUR FACE You gave us, O Lord our God, the Torah of life, and the love of kindness, righteousness, blessing, compassion, life, and peace, and may it be good in Your sight to bless Your people Israel at all times and in every hour with Your peace. Blessed are You, O Lord, who blessed His people Israel with peace. Amen. 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!
