You Have Much! – Korach’s Rebellion
Roots of Faith 25 Jun 2011 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
In today’s Torah lesson, Ross teaches on leadership, using examples from the Parsha of both good and bad leaders. Some people who are in leadership positions use the people to advance themselves, while others use their position for the benefit of the people that they SERVE. In this week’s portion, Korach, a cousin of Moses leads a rebellion against Moses and against Aaron and ultimately finds himself in opposition to Yehovah. The story is fascinating and demonstrates that redemption is possible. The ending of this teaching shows that Korach’s name may forever be associated with a great mutiny, but the “Rest of the story” shows that the family name should be remembered for good. You will be surprised as you hear how the story of Korach turns out. Listen and share it far and wide.

Send For Yourself – A Tour of the Land
Roots of Faith 18 Jun 2011 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
In this week’s Torah teaching, Ross talks about the sending out of those most commonly referred to as “spies”. Ross shows that the original meaning of this word has to do with touring. The lesson today focuses on faith. How are we to define faith and faithfulness? What was it about Caleb that resulted in him being described as having a different spirit? Ross takes you on a “tour” of the promised land with those sent by Moses and the children of Israel. What can we learn about our faith by studying these texts? You will not want to miss this instruction. Listen and share.

The Reason for the Wilderness
Roots of Faith 11 Jun 2011 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
In this week’s class, Ross teaches from Torah reading Be-Ha-Alotcha (when you step up). It comes from the book of Numbers. This Torah reading contains many seemingly unrelated topics. It covers the seven branched menorah, the appointment of the Levites, a second Passover, the Cloud and Fire Presence of Yehovah, the Trumpets, and plenty of complaining – by the people, by Moses, and by Miriam and Aaron. Ross picks up on a phrase found in the Hebrew, though poorly translated in most English versions. The phrase is “pi Yehovah” – the mouth of Yehovah. The phrase occurs 50 times in the Hebrew Bible, 18 of which are found in the book of Numbers. Using the 8th chapter of Deuteronomy, Ross shows from the Torah the reason for the wilderness. You may be surprised to learn what the Torah says about this time in the wilderness. You will not want to miss this class. Share it far and wide.

A Day of Preparation
Roots of Faith 04 Jun 2011 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
In this week’s class Ross puts forth a call for re-dedication to the Covenant. He shows that this date (1st day of the 3rd month) has significant importance in the history of the Hebrew people. The message today comes from a prophetic word given to the ancient King Asa by Yehovah through the prophet Azariah. The text for the class comes from II Chronicles chapter 15. Ross shows that this prophetic word is just what is needed for the people of Israel today. He also ties in some of the material from the Torah and Prophet readings for today’s parsha (Naso). You will not want to miss this class. Please pass this teaching along.

Iyyar 28th – Jerusalem Day
Roots of Faith 01 Jun 2011 | : ROF Shabbat Services, Roots of Faith, Syndicated
Today’s date on the Hebrew Calendar is the 28th day of the second month. The date most often falls during the month of June. So what is significant about today’s date you ask? Perhaps more than you may have imagined. For whatever reason, this date seems to be quite significant in regards to the mysterious workings of God. I have always believed that the “times and seasons” are very relevant. Over the years I have learned that the Hebrew calendar is very instructive for those who pay heed. The problem is that many have lost touch with the rhythms of the Biblical year. The good news is that when one begins to study and keep God’s ways, one is almost always drawn to this divine method of keeping time. Time, is the very first thing that God calls Holy and yet many take little notice of the signs of our times. Today’s date is a case in point. I learned this from my teacher James Tabor. He writes of the significance of this date in his book, Restoring Abrahamic Faith.
Could this date have been selected by Yehovah for a display of His power in our modern era? Tabor points out that this may very well be the case. He relates that in the year 1825 a Methodist minister saw something in a passage from Daniel that may even prove it. While studying a prophecy in the eighth chapter of the book of Daniel, Adam Clark interpreted the 2300 days and nights to end in the year 1966! Tabor argues that Clark missed a minor detail that set him off one year. Going from B.C.E to C.E. Clark failed to add a year (there is no year zero). We now know from history that Alexander the Great defeated the Persian King Darius III on Artemisius 28th on the Olympiad Calendar. This date is equivalent to June 7th, 334 B.C.E., a point from which Jerusalem was dominated by hostile Gentiles. This domination would continue for 2,300 years bringing one to the year 1967 when calculated correctly.
On June 7th, 1967 a greatly outnumbered Jewish people regained control of their ancient capital – 2,300 years to the day from the day on which the hostile domination began with Alexander the Great! Daniel saw that after “2,300 days”, the holy place “will be vindicated” (Daniel 8:14).
It is doubtful that anyone could have forced this. The world stood in amazement and so did the Jews! They had returned and taken back that which was stolen. All glory to Yehovah for His steadfastness! For God gave this place to His people and declared it as a place where His name would dwell. History obliged.
June 7th, 1967 was the 28th day of the Hebrew month Iyyar. It was on a Wednesday. Today is the anniversary of that remarkable day on the Hebrew Calendar. It is Wednesday, Iyyar 28th – 44 years to the day. It was on this day that Yehovah, who hath chosen Jerusalem, rebuked Satan (Zechariah 3:1-2). Even in our day Satan has set his sights on Jerusalem. Enemies seek to lay claim to the place chosen by God as his capital. I say with Zechariah – Yehovah rebuke you!
My we all pay closer attention to the times and seasons. It is essential that we recognize the rhythm of the Hebrew year, for when we get in sync with His time our eyes will be opened to the wonderful workings of heaven in our daily lives.
Blessed be Yehovah! For His steadfast love endures forever! Wake up world! It is Jerusalem Day – the day that God gave Jerusalem back to the Jewish people.
