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.

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.

You will not want to miss this class.
