Mesorah of Mark #6c
Now we delve into the characteristics of Shabbat haGadol. Then we look at the theme of two redemption and how this fits the opening pericope of Mark. We look at the revolving shemita calendar.

Shabbat HaGadol
Roots of Faith 27 Mar 2010 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
This week, Ross teaches on the subject of Redemption. The class was delivered from the historic Temple Sinai Synagogue in Saint Francisville, Louisiana on a very special Sabbath known as Shabbat HaGadol (the Big Sabbath). This is the Sabbath that precedes Passover. The Torah commands that we tell the story of the Redemption of Israel from Egypt and so this is what Ross teaches on, but he does so from a unique perspective. The class challenges the listener with a question – How big is your God? You will not want to miss this teaching during the Season of Redemption.

The Korban Pesach Challenge – Special Pesach Cross-Post from UTN
admin 26 Mar 2010 | : ARBA4, General, Hatikva, Roots of Faith, Special Annoucement, Syndicated, Torah Focus
The Korban Pesach Challenge
Our annual reading of Leviticus, which deals extensively with animal offerings, coincides with the arrival of Passover, whose main cataclysmic event is the korban Pesach – Pascal offering. What is G-d revealing to us about our own inner nature? Part II of a two-part Passover festival double-feature!
For those that don’t get/understand/accept the Torah commandments regarding drawing close, this is presented to help clarify the commandments and Torah.
Dedication: This show is dedicated in honor of James Elliot Brown & Tessie L.
This topic is so controversial and so relevant to those seeking Torah, special permission has been granted to post these shows on ARBA4.
The Seat of Moses
Roots of Faith 25 Mar 2010 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
In 1995 I was given a copy of an interesting article written by Mark Allan Powell of Trinity Lutheran Seminary, Columbus Ohio. This article, (Do and Keep What Moses Says) was published in the prestigious Journal of Biblical Literature [JBL 114/3 (1995) 419-435]. It proposed an alternate interpretation of Matthew 23:2-3.
By the fall of 1996, I had almost forgotten about Mark Powell’s article, and perhaps would have never looked at it again if I had not studied the Hebrew Matthew contained in the polemical treatise of a Spanish Jew named Shem Tob ben Isaac ben Shaprut. This treatise was composed in 1380 and had become the latest work of New Testament scholar George Howard of the University of Georgia. In 1987, Dr. Howard had published this Hebrew Matthew text in The Gospel of Matthew According to a Primitive Hebrew Text, Mercer University Press. Eight years later, Dr. Howard revised and re-published this text under the title,
Hebrew Gospel of Matthew, Mercer University Press. This later edition is the one that I had obtained, and the one that led me to discover a variant text that could shed some light on the subject at hand.
I wrote an article on this particular reading and submitted it to the presiding editor over the Journal of Biblical Literature at the time. At the time I was told that the article was “Not really suitable for publication in JBL.” The editor wished me well and said that she hoped that my rejection did not diminish my interest in the Journal of Biblical Literature. It certainly did not. This journal is a very fine publication, and frankly my article was not as “academic” as the term is strictly defined. I posted the article on the web and it was discovered by Nehemia Gordon, who was doing research on this subject for a book that he was writing. The article was referenced in a couple of footnotes in his work – The Hebrew Yeshua Vs the Greek Jesus, Hilkiah Press 2005.
This article was recently accepted by and published on the prestigious website, The Bible&Interpretation.
This single text is becoming more relevant in our day as a result of a growing number of Christians are being “drawn” to the Jewish/Hebraic roots of the Faith. Check it out here.

Mesorah of Mark #6b
In this program we continue our discussion of Shabbat HaGadol and how the Mesorah of Mark was initiated within the month of Nisan. How does the opening pericope Of Mark match the theme of Nisan and Pesach? We look at how Malachi is a key to these questions.

Mesorah of Mark #6a
When was the Mesorah of Mark read. When were the opening passages of Mark actually read? I look at Shabbath haGadol as the Sabbath when the pericope of Mark 1:1-2 was read. Through the next three programs we will try to solve the problem as to when the opening pericope was read and how this fits the triennial reading schedule.
