Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, Saying, The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. Matthew 23:1-2 What does it mean that they sit in the seat of Moses? It means they are making judgments and interpretations of the Torah. Rabbinic Judaism teaches that they sit in the seat of Moses. The Pharisees placed heavy burdens upon the people. Did Yeshua teach that His followers should follow the Pharisees or rabbinical Judaism? All therefore whatsoever they bid you observe, that observe and do; but do not ye after their works: for they say, and do not. Matthew 23:3 In contrast to the Pharisees and their interpretation of the Torah, Yeshua said these words: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:28-30 In saying this, Yeshua was referring to this passage from Jeremiah 6:16: Th

Paul taught that the Torah is holy, just and good: Wherefore the Torah is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good. Romans 7:12 How are we to walk in Yeshua’s Torah? We walk in His Torah by following His spirit: A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh. And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them. Ezek 36: 27-27 What is the purpose of the indwelling Holy Spirit? To cause us to walk in His statutes and to follow the Torah of Yeshua! We are to follow the Torah by the power and inspiration of the indwelling Holy Spirit (the Ruach Hakodesh). Yeshua is truth: Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6 The Torah is truth. Walking in Torah is walking in truth. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. John 17: 17 Thy right

In traditional Christianity, they view that the book of Galatians teaches us that we must make a choice between whether we are going to believe in and follow Yeshua as Messiah and be led by His Holy Spirit OR we are going to follow the Torah. To understand the book of Galatians we need a proper Hebraic background and context. The book of Galatians is not about IF we should follow the Torah but HOW to properly follow the Torah. What are the choices? We will look at that. Torah and the Word of God (from Genesis to Revelation) are synonymous terms. And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. Isaiah 2:3 In the first century, it was a given that if you were Jewish and believed in the God of Israel, you would seek to follow His Torah. There was a rabbinical system with two main Pharisaic s

“Metatron” in Jewish writings is likened to being the “garment” of the Father. The “garment” of the Almighty, (Ein Sof) is “Metatron”. The Father has revealed himself through the image of the invisible God (Metatron = Yeshua). No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 1:18 In the book, “Plurality of the Godhead: How can Three be One?” by Rabbi Tzvi Nassi (1863) he states that Metatron is the teacher of Moses. He states: “We Jews believe that Moses was instructed in all divine knowledge by no other than the keeper of Israel. The teacher of our Master, Moses, was Metatron.” Yeshua was the teacher of Moses. Yeshua is the one who gave the Torah at Mt Sinai. Metatron, from Jewish sources, is seen as being the faithful shepherd of Israel. (Psalm 2:12) In John 10:12, 14 it is written: I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd gives his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine. In John 10:7

The middle pillar of the sefirotic tree is known as the “son of God” or “Metatron.” In the book, “Plurality of the Godhead: How can Three be One?” by Rabbi Tzvi Nassi (1863) we have this AMAZING excerpt: “There is a perfect man who is an angel. This angel is Metatron, the “Keeper” or the “Guardian” of Israel. He is man in the image of the Holy One, or Ein Sof, who is an emanation from Him. Yes he, (Metatron) is Yahweh. Of him cannot be said that he is formed, created or made, but He is the emanation from God. He is the image of the invisible God.” Rabbi Nassi explains that “Metatron”, the middle pillar of the Godhead, IS the “son of God”. He is the image of the invisible God. Metatron is YHVH from eternity. This lines up with New Testament scriptures: But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Hebrews 1:8 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Yeshua accursed: and that no man c

Did you know that in ancient Jewish thought as explained in the Zohar, an esoteric explanation of the Torah, that they believe in a triune Godhead? When the eternal light of “Ein Sof” is broken down into a prism, the emanations or attributes of “Ein Sof” is represented as three pillars. One of the pillars has the attributes of Father, one of the pillars has the attributes of Mother, and the central pillar has the attributes of the Son. The attributes of the Father can be seen in: Jeremiah 31:9, Malachi 1:6, Isaiah 63:16, Isaiah 64:8 The attributes of the Mother can be seen in: Isaiah 66:13. The Mother is also seen as the Holy Spirit, the Ruach HaKodesh, and the comforter (John 14:16, 26, John 15:26, John 16:7). The attributes of the Son can be seen in: Proverbs 30:4, and in Psalm 2:2, 7, 12 So, within the attributes of these three pillars of the Godhead, we can see a triune Godhead which has attributes associated with God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (Mother).

From a Jewish perspective, the God of Israel is “Ein Sof” is explained in human terms to manifest Himself to the natural world through His ETERNAL LIGHT. He is understood to be “without definition”, limitless and unending. The Godhead forms three pillars which represent the “Godhead of “Ein Sof”. The middle pillar of the godhead is known as “Metatron” and the “Son of God and is the invisible image of “Ein Sof”. The Jewish view of “Metatron” matches descriptions of Yeshua in the New Testament. The numeral value of the attributes of the middle pillar of the Godhead is 26. This is also the numerical value for YHVH. In Yeshua dwells the fullness of the Godhead bodily (Colossians 2:9). How does Ein Sof manifest Himself in our physical world? It is like a light that goes through a prism. The prism breaks out the light into different bands of color. The name that is given to the light on the other side of the prism is “sefirot”. There are ten “Sefirot” which are also called the “Tree of Life”. In the Godhead t

Isaiah 48:10 That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Yeshua HaMashiach. 1 Peter 1:7 The Minchah offering is when we OFFER ourselves as a FREE gift to Yahweh and praise and thank and worship Him AFTER we have gone through trials, tribulations, and disappointments. We become a Minchah freewill gift offering to the Lord when we DON’T understand…and we enter into a LIFESTYLE of praise and worship because of WHO HE IS and NOT how you feel based upon your circumstances.

In this teaching, Eddie discusses an important article written by Monte Judah in an issue of Yahvoh magazine. The article discusses this question: Is Torah for all people? This is a very important question to consider. Orthodox Judaism doesn’t teach that the 613 commandments in the Torah is for all believers in the God of Israel who are in covenant relationship with Him. They say the Torah is just for the Jews to follow. Non-Jews are only supposed to keep the seven laws of Noah. In Messianic Judaism, they also teach that the Torah is only for Jews to follow. Traditional Christianity teaches that the Torah is part of the “Old Covenant”. That was “Plan A” and now we are on “Plan B”. They believe that the “Old Covenant” has been replaced with a “New Covenant” and that the Torah has been done away with. What does the bible really say? Is the Torah for all people?

Esau’s downfall and judgment will usher in Messianic times. How will Esau be defeated? Here is the game plan: Jacob has to draw near to the God of Israel with his voice and his heart. He has to follow the Torah of Yeshua. If ye love me, keep my commandments. John 14:14 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments. Exodus 20:6 He has to fight Esau spiritually in prayer (2 Cor 10:3-4). For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds. He has to stand in faith on the covenant that God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (Gen 12:1-3, Gen 15:3-6, Gen 17:7-8) And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee. And I will give unto thee, and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan, for an

What is the nature of the conflict between Jacob and Esau in the end of days? How do we spot, recognize and discern Esau operating and manifesting today? This session goes through a list of characteristics of Esau with examples and scriptures. *Esau wages a war of violence against Jacob in the end of days. (Ez. 35:5) *Esau says that the mountains of Israel are his possession.(Ez. 36:1-2) *Esau hides in caves. (Obadiah 1:3) *Esau’s violence is connected to Hamas (Obadiah 1:10) *Esau is associated with the curse of Allah (Daniel 9:11) *Esau is associated with iron mixed with clay (Daniel 2:33-35) *Esau wants to make the name of Jacob to be no longer in remembrance. (Psalm 83:3-5) From these characteristics, can you see that we are in the conflict NOW? Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the Torah of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. Daniel 9:11 Whe

In this teaching series, we are going to take a look at the end time battle between Jacob and Esau. The bible refers to this end time conflict between Jacob and Esau as “Jacob’s trouble”. The reason for the tribulation is that there is a conflict between Jacob and Esau that draws the entire world into this conflict. In order to understand this conflict we must first understand a very important Torah principle: that biblical history is prophecy. The end of days has already been told by the God of Israel “in the beginning.” We can see this principle illustrated in Isaiah 46: 9-10: Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. Therefore if we want to understand the “end of days” battle between Jacob and Esau then we must understand their conflict “in the beginning”. The things that happe

In this teaching series, we are going to look at the 7000 year plan of the God of Israel. We we are going to learn is that from the creation of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eve to the end of the Messianic Era is 7,000 years of time. We need to understand the 7,000 years of time in order to understand the language that the prophets of Israel used when they are speaking about the end of days. They often use the term “the Day of the Lord”. That term needs to be understood in context to the 7,000 year plan of the God of Israel. Each day in creation represents a thousand years. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 2 Peter 3:8 The seventh day of the week, the Sabbath, foreshadows the last thousand years, when Yeshua will be ruling and reigning.
