How does Messiah Yeshua — Christ Jesus — relate to the biblical sacrificial system? Did He replace it or reveal its deeper spiritual meaning? If God established temple sacrifices, why would they no longer be necessary? So what eternal purpose did they serve? These are the questions we’ll be tackling in this short study.
This study dives into Passover’s themes of return and renewal in 2Chronicles 29–32. Drawing on the Torah’s “Second Passover” instruction, King Hezekiah restored temple worship and invited the northern kingdom to celebrate this pivotal memorial to freedom, revival and unity. Also explored are Messiah’s eternal role in atonement and the importance of maintaining spiritual momentum from generation to generation.
This study of Genesis 27:1–29; Isaiah 46:3–11; and Hebrews 11:17–22 explores how divine plans supersede human intentions, prejudices and shortsightedness. Faith/trust and generational legacy play out in the lives of Abraham, Yitzkhak (Isaac) and Yaakov (Jacob). But Yitzkhak’s physical blindness reveals his inability to see God’s choice of unexpected vessels, and the importance of seeking divine wisdom. The Prophets reveal how curing spiritual as well as physical vision problems would be a key role for the Messiah — and fundamental to Heaven’s redemptive plan.
Genesis 27:1-29 highlights Jacob’s deception in securing Isaac’s blessing, emphasizing God’s sovereignty in fulfilling His promises despite human actions. In the parallel reading Isaiah 46:3-11, the focus is on God’s unchanging nature and His control over history, assuring believers of His plans. Another parallel, Hebrews 11:17-22, underscores the faith of the patriarchs, particularly Abraham’s trust in God’s promises, even when tested. Together, these passages illustrate God’s faithfulness and the importance of trusting His divine plan.
This study of Genesis 26:12-35 and Isaiah 65:23-66:8 reveals how each generation plays a crucial role in advancing Heaven’s redemptive promise. From Isaac’s redigging Abraham’s sabotaged water wells to Isaiah’s prophetic message of restored Jerusalem and new earth, there’s a continuous thread of divine legacy. The Messiah, Yeshua (Jesus), is fundamental to God’s sovereign plan to bring redemption to the nations. Each generation is called to step forward in trust, carrying the “living water” of promise until the Messianic age is fully realized.
In this study of Genesis 25–26, 2Samuel 5–6, and Hebrews 12, we explore God’s enduring covenant of faithfulness. From Esau’s rash birthright trade to David’s seeking divine guidance, these passages reveal our human frailty and God’s unwavering commitment. The Messiah emerges as the ultimate fulfillment of the covenant between Heaven and Abraham, bridging generations and offering hope. Through the anointing of Yeshua (Jesus), we’re called to reverence, obedience and trust of Heaven’s leading, recognizing that our legacy is defined not by our beginnings, but by our response to God’s gracious promise.
This study of Genesis 24:42-67; Isaiah 12:3-14:2; and James 4:13-17 explores divine guidance through Abraham’s journey of faith. The passages reveal God’s sovereignty in human plans, emphasizing trust, humility and seeking Heaven’s wisdom. Abraham in six ways shows how marriage is a sacred covenant requiring parental involvement, mutual respect, and spiritual alignment. We find true contentment by aligning our lives with God’s eternal plan, rather than chasing fleeting worldly pursuits.
