The Gates Program #119- The Sabbath of G-d Part 2 – Moedim #14
Various key points which relate to eschatology from Bereishit (Genesis) one are made in this episode. The program continues to examine the fourth day, the sun and moon and how they represent the Messiah and Israel – his bride. Also studied is the appearance of the tannin (the serpent – a picture of the False Messiah) on the fifth day. The program concludes with a study of what day six and the number six teaches us about the coming Sabbath of G-d.

Program #54 – Ezra’s Ten Rules Part 14 – Washing and Garlic
I begin with a review of the past lessons then, move on to the final “tiknot “ which includes women washing clothing on Thursdays and eating garlic on Fridays.
Why wash cloths on Thursday? And, what does eating Garlic have to do with anything?
This Lesson gives a basic overview of how important Ezra and the men of the great assembly saw Shabbat.

The Gates Program #118- The Sabbath of G-d Part 1 – Moedim #13
We begin a new mini-series within our greater series on the eschatology taught in the Festivals. The different ages of Jewish eschatology are examined in a seven thousand year time line concluding in the last one thousand years, the Athid Lavo – the Coming Age, the Millenium, the Messianic Kingdom, The Day of the L-rd. All of these are the Sabbath of G-d. In addition, we study the significance of the fourth day of creation and the picture produced by the Sun.

Program #53 – Ezra’s Ten Rules Part 13 – Eschatology and End Times #3
I look at the Amalek as a warring entity against Israel and G-d. Then I superficially explore the idea of Biblical Warfare looking at the varied peoples that Israel had to war against.
I explain the idea of Jihad as explicated by Roland DeVaux in his book “Ancient Israel.”
We then explore the preservation the Jewish faith and life as a means of living out Holiness.
In conclusion I look to the future as prophesied by the Prophets Yeshiuyahu (Isaiah) and Havakuk.
What mechanism of media to they see? Can we see this mechanism today?

A Taste of Hebrew #32 – Bayn
I look at the Hebrew word Bayn which is usually translated “Between.” The Strong’s number for our word is Strong’s H996 and the TWOT 239.0
I also explore the root word for Bayn which means to understand, discern and consider.
I also look at the vowel “tzerei” and how it plays into the enunciation of Hebrew words.

The Festivals – Tracking the Dates Pt.4
This is the last episode on Tracking the Dates in our series on the eschatology of the Festivals. We have been tracking the 17th of Nisan through Noach’s Ark, the crossing of the Red Sea, Hezikiah’s great celebration following the cleansing of the Temple and now Esther. We examine the arch enemy of the Jews, Haman and his destruction and how the 17th of Nisan ties in. Finally we see how all of this relates to the resurrection of Yeshua.

Midrashim – with Dr. Walter Oakley
Tuesdays on ARBA4
Program #52 – Ezra’s Ten Rules Part 12 – Eschatology and End Times 2
I begin my discussion with a discussion of the Aamalek as an adversary to the B’nai Yisrael form the very beginning of their exodus. I then look at passages that reveal the character of the Amalek. I compare these passages so that we can see just what the Amalek were like and how that we see their activities in peoples of our generation.
The book of Shemot (Exodus) tells us that there is a hand on the throne of G-d. (Ex 17:16) What does this verse look like in Hebrew? Does the Hebrew text reveal any special truth about the Amalek and their role in history?
Watch this episode of Midrashim to see the role of the Amalek in out contemporary times.
Israel Update – Reality, Politics and Israel – with guest Dr. Eugene Narrett
The Gates 10 Feb 2009 | : ARBA4, Hatikva, Israel Update
Reality, Politics and Israel.
A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to interview Dr. Eugene Narrett from Columbia University about the subject “Reality Politics and Israel.” Dr Narrett is unique in both his insight and prospective not to mention quite bold in stating what he believes. This is without doubt one of the most profound times in the history of mankind with Barack Obama and a stacked deck as cabinet members with Israel on the chopping block. Listen to Dr. Narrett’s analysis of not only the USA in relationship to Israel, but also the western powers. All of this with war in Gaza and Israeli elections. This interview will cause you to think.
(This interview was intended to be posted a couple of weeks ago, but technical problems have delayed its posting until now. The information is still very relevant.)
Please visit Prof. Narrett’s site at http://israelendtimes.com and support his insightful research directly, or by purchasing his books.
NOTE: Part 1 is of inferior quality, but it is all we could recover.

A Taste of Hebrew #31 – Vayavdayl and Vowels 2
Vayavdayl and Sheva
I further explore the vowel “sheva” and its use in Hebrew words. I conclude with a brief look at how prefixes and suffixes influence meanings of Hebrew words.
