In this program, the first four verses of the Proverbial Woman passage are compared to the first four paragraphs of Psalm 119 - another example of acrostic Biblical literature. In addition, the women represented are cross-referenced with the two scriptures and the attributes of the four letters of the Hebrew Alef-bet.

The Gates Program #90 - Galatians #7 - Defining the Gospel Part 3
The ancient Jewish understanding of the Baserah of Good news (translated as the “Gospel” in the New Testament) is defined from the Jewish sources. By the First Century C.E. this Baserah was well defined and contained a list of expectations directly linked to the coming redemption which would be accomplished by the Messiah. Understanding the Baserah is foundational in a study of Galatians.

Program #19 - The Mishna, Yeshua’s Teachings & Pirket Avot
In this program, I continue with the first Mishnah of Pirke Avot.
I continue my discussion on the idea of talmid and talmidim.
I also discuss the difference between the Greek ideas of learning as opposed to the Hebrew ideology of learning. There are two Greek words for the subject. However, there is only one Hebrew word and family that conveys the sum of the idea of education.
I discuss D’varim (Deuteronomy) 4:10 as a means of understanding the purpose of Hebrew Education.
We discuss the idea of fearing Heaven (HaShem) and learning.
However, in this program, I focus on the fact that Yeshua followed the typical Pharisaic practice of building a fence around the Torah. “and make a protective fence for the Torah.” Likewise, I discuss Yeshua’s relation to the House of Hillel I discuss the hierarchy of Hillel and the characteristics of his successors.
“Moshe received the Torah from Sinai and transmitted it Yehoshua. Yehoshua transmitted it to the Zekanim (Elders), the Zekanim to the Neviim (Prophets), and the Neviim transmitted it to the Men of the Great Assembly.
They [the Men of the Great Assembly] said three things: Be deliberate in judgment, raise many students, and make a protective fence for the Torah.”
Yeshua’ idea of a fence is related to Iyov 1:31. Did Yeshua make any fences around the Torah? I will discuss the fence and Yeshua’s idea of a fence.
Sunday Shul - Messiah, Part 4
Roots of Faith 09 May 2008 | : ARBA4, ROF Sunday Shul, Roots of Faith
In this 4th class of the Messiah series, Ross explores further the subject of the son of David.
Yeshua asked a question of his opponents concerning the lineage of the “Messiah”. Was this not a known fact? Is it not clear that the “Messiah” will be born from the lineage of David? What does the priestly order of MelchiTzedek have to do with the Messiah?
Ross covers the promises to David and reads Psalm 89. This psalm begins with a review of the promises to David and then seems to suggest that the promises have been forgotten. Where is this promised kingdom the psalmist asks?
Can one that is descended from David serve at the altar? Ross covers some passages that seem to suggest that only the priests can serve at the altar. This is also covered in the New Testament book of Hebrews. But is this true?
These and other questions are raised in this class. You will not want to miss this class.

Program #18 - The Mishna and Yeshua’s Teachings
In this program, I explore the first Mishnah of Pirke Avot (The Sayings of the Fathers).
We place Pirke Avot in its ethical category of mussar. I explain that one chapter of Pirke Avot is read each Shabbat from Pesach until Rosh HaShanah.
Pirke Avot 1:1
“Moshe received the Torah from Sinai and transmitted it Yehoshua. Yehoshua transmitted it to the Zekanim (Elders), the Zekanim to the Neviim (Prophets), and the Neviim transmitted it to the Men of the Great Assembly.
They [the Men of the Great Assembly] said three things: Be deliberate in judgment, raise many students, and make a protective fence for the Torah.”
(1:1a): The Hebrew begins: “They said three things…” In the first saying, metunim, “deliberate,” also means slow, calm, and careful. The second saying is literally “raise up many students.”.
In this program, I have related the three maximums of the “Men of the Great Assembly” with the teachings, character and life of Yeshua. I will use this passage in the next couple of programs as means for modeling Yeshua’s mission and life.
I focus on Yeshua and his deliberate judgments and choosing and developing talmidim.
I begin discussing the idea of talmid and talmidim.
Sunday Shul - Messiah, Part 3
Roots of Faith 02 May 2008 | : ARBA4, ROF Sunday Shul, Roots of Faith
In this class Ross explores the idea of the King as it relates to the Messiah. In this class, Ross looks at the origin of the monarchy in ancient Israel. Was it the will of God to have a monarchy?Most students of Scripture anticipate a coming King of the line of David who will reign. How did Yeshua respond when he was asked if he was a king?
Ross also looks at an ancient sect of Jewish “Christians” known as the Ebionites. Do they have some insights that we need to recover as we search for truth?
Here are some of the texts that Ross uses in his study of the Kingdom;
1 Samuel 8
1 Samuel 10:17-25
1 Samuel 12:12-25
Deuteronomy 17:14ff
Is there to be a Kingdom? Yes, but is it what we have in our mind? See the text in Exodus 19:5-6. See also Zechariah 14:9.
