Tamah's Torah Teaching

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast I exhort the listener to always compare what they are taught/told by their clergy or other Bible teachers with G-d's Word for accuracy against more than one version. Accessing and reviewing scripture from the earliest translations possible will minimize contradictions, omissions, additions, and other peripheral garbage that has caused so many to misunderstand G-d's commands/instructions and Law regarding how He wants us to worship and relate to Him and how we are to live among and treat our fellow man. We are instructed to ask, seek, and knock for those who ask will be give; those who seek will find, and those who knock the door will be opened. 2 Timothy15-16 says it all: " And study to present thyself, perfectly a laborer who is not ashamed, one who correctly announceth the word of truth" (A literal translation from the Syriac Peshito Version).* Syriac is a straightforward language, much like Hebrew with no ambiguities in it.

Send us Fan MailToday I am concentrating on the literal, contextual, physical, and spiritual significance of understanding and integrating the true meaning of "trust" in YHVH/Yahshua. Throughout G-d's Torah, and as addressed in this parashah, we discover that the lack of faith and trust in G-d cost the Israelites time and significant loss of life. Forgiveness can be partial in some cases, also recorded in this parashah.If we want to be included as the Bride of Yahshua, we must "wash our garments" (repent) and start afresh learning G-d's instructions/commands and following them all the way "home."

Send us Fan MailThis brief podcast focuses on the " day of the L-rd" which was a prophetic message by Amos. I will also address verses 21-4 where G-d makes it very clear that He does not want any sacrifices or offerings if our hearts and intent is not in it. Let me make it clear that G-d commanded the sacrificial system. What He was angry about was that the sacrifices and offerings were made without any personal involvement. Their observance was strictly legalistic. Many Christian clergy teach that G-d's laws were abrogated and use these verses to support their position. Unfortunately, they are ignorant of G-d's Torah (Word/instructions/law) and simply teach that Christians are under a large umbrella of G-d's grace, negating G-d's commands and erroneously teaching that Yahshua (Jesus) came to "free" man from His laws/instructions.

Send us Fan MailToday I am going to focus on the Temple Menorah, the arrangement of the lamps, the light as it related to the Light of the world (Yahshua), and the light we draw from Him to shine forward to the world. I will also cover the definition of a true believer and the fact that if we want to be a part of G-d's people and eventually the Bride of Yahshua, we must ready ourselves with serious and heartfelt repentance and loving obedience to His Word. Scriptural references will be provided as always.

Send us Fan MailAs the world continues to fall away from obedience to and a love for G-d's Torah (instructions/law), and blindly attempt to explain the exponential increase in devastating events such as crimes of increasing cruelty, secular humanistic teaching, unprecedented weather events, a national shift toward socialism, the appearance of  strange and more virulent viruses and bacteria, I am compelled as  Messianic Jewish rabbi concerned for Jew and Gentile to provide a sound biblical explanation for such events. But more than this, I will discuss the remedy that the Great Physician himself (YHVH/Yahshua) provides throughout His Word that is accessible to everyone, Jew or Gentile. 

Send us Fan MailIN this podcast I will describe the parallelism of the Jewish wedding to G-d's betrothal and marriage to Israel (all true believers, jew and Gentile) and propose a possible scenario according to scripture of what will take place after the "'wedding."

Send us Fan MailToday I am going to expound on the Book of Ruth that is typically read during the mandated holy festival of Shavu'ot called "Pentecost" by the Christian community. I hope you do not pass this podcast by thinking you have "heared it all before." There is alsyeas something new we may learn from G-d's Torah/Word/Instructions when we approach it with an open heart, mind, and humility. May you learn something new today that you can use in your life.

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast I will give a brief explanation of what Shavu'ot represents, that it is a mandated festival of G-d. and that it does not represent the birth of "the Church."Rather, the observance of Shavu'ot was an act of consecration and celebration. this It was and is a time to give YHVH/Yahshua his due; to offer Him the first and best portion of our harvest, whether food or any other "increase."Let's take a closer look at what else happened on this special day including the giving of the 10 Commands at Mt. Sinai and later the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) the latter of which we will focus on today. 

Send us Fan MailIn this short podcast I will describe the correlation between the mandated feasts of G-d, human childbirth, and prophecy contained related to Israel (all true believers). A comparison is made between each of the feasts, the believers' fulfillment, and the development of a baby.

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast I will discuss Jonah who is the fourth prophet in the series of the 12 "minor" prophets in the Bible. The discussion of his life and how it relates to end time prophecy continues to support the consistency, reliability, and validity of both the Old Testament and the B'rit Chadashah ("New") Testaments as do the lives and prophecies of all the prophets in the Bible. 

Send us Fan MailAlthough I will cover several subjects from this week's parashah, the focus will be on answering questions about why there is so much repetition of the offerings in Chapter 7? Why is it necessary to repeat the same information with wach tribe's contribution?Join me as I explain the importance of this repetition then and now to the lives of true beleivers. 

Send us Fan MailIn continuing the series of podcasts on prophecy, I want to investigate some of the end-time players, especially Amalek. This podcast will clearly identify the Amalekite paradigm of evil that has plagued Israel since early biblical times but will ultimately be destroyed according to G-d's Word. Let's take a journey through the genealogy and metaphoric/symbolic implications of this evil connected with HaSatan and its final demise.

Send us Fan MailIn this commentary Iwill discuss the truth that man is not inherently "good," the applicability of the legislative and historical narratives to our generation and beyond, and the importance of detail and obedience to G-d as the "General" on our long journey to the promised Land which constitutes a "mission accomplished.'  

Send us Fan MailZephaniah's prophecies are dominated by the subject of Ethiopian Jews and their future in end time prophecy.Zephaniah also addresses the Gog-Magog war, the final Battle of Armageddon, and G-d's judgement against certain nations who are Russia's confederates during this time.Join me and take a glimpse into the events to occur in the near future. Are you ready for the Rapture and Yahshua's return? The way to salvation is also covered in this book in Chapter 3:1,8. May we all be hearers AND doers of that which will include us as partakers of the covenants of Israel.

Send us Fan MailIn this final episode for this mini-series of podcasts, we will explore the Melchizedek Priesthood and how it and He foreshadows Yahshua as our Messiah, Prophet, Priest, and King. We need to understand that Yahshua's Priesthood is after a different order than the Levitical or Aaronic Priesthood; instead, it is of the order of Melchizedek. Let's explore this interesting and revealing phenomenon nestled within G-d's Torah.

Send us Fan MailToday I am going to delve into the priority G-d places on Shabbat observance, that is G-d's Shabbat Friday night sundown to Saturday night sundown, and all of the other designated Shabbats and designated feasts.I am also going to discuss the ramifications of continuing to ignore, add to, or subtract from G-d's Torah and how the Catholic Church continues to defy G-d's commands, teaching a different gospel than what G-d commands. Open your minds and hearts, and learn more of the truth of G-d's Grace and Law

Send us Fan MailIn the last podcast I discussed Talmudic evidence for Yahshua as Prophet, Priest, and King found in both the Babylonian Talmud and The Jerusalem Talmud.In this podcast I am going to address the cultural and legal context of genealogy as it relates to Jewish law and Yahshua's qualifications fulfilling numerous prophecies in the role of Prophet, Priest, and King/Messiah.Let's keep thus learning adventure going!

Send us Fan MailIn the first podcast of this series, I ended with a discussion on Talmudic evidence for Yahshua as Messiah as early as 30CE. Comparing information from both Talmudic references we find that both Talmuds recorded the same information, indicating that the knowledge of the events described in the first podcast were generally accepted by the mainstream Jewish community.In this podcast, I describe four miracles associated with the strange repeating results of the lot system used to designate the "scapegoat" and the goat to be offered as a complete sacrifice for the L-rd. In the next podcast in this series, I will address the cultural and legal context of genealogy as it relates to Jewish law and how Yahshua fits the requirements of the prophesied Prophet, Priest. and King/Messiah.

Send us Fan MailThis response is recorded in sections due to the plethora of information provided. I hope Jews and Gentiles who want to understand the truth that neither the Old Testament nor the "New" testament can exist without the other. Just as road signs are meant to guide us to what is ahead, so the prophecies in the Tanakh provide guidance and information that leads us to Yahshua as Prophet, Priest, and King; the soon-to return Messiah.So, look for the subsequent podcasts that will provide you with the complete response addressing the above questions. Enjoy listening and learning!

Send us Fan MailIn this podcast we will discover what Habakkuk's name which translates as "wrestler" really means and how it most certainly applies to each of us as we continue to live in these end times. Careful and prayerful study of this book will open our minds to the fact that G-d is in control, has a plan for mankind, and that we must learn to place our trust in what G-d says he will do will certainly come to past as proven through history up to the current day.I will also "show" that G-d's laws are not dead and that we will all be held accountable for our life choices. It is time to turn our hearts toward "home" as did Habakkuk who learned these lessons that G-d had put in writing for our benefit.

Send us Fan MailThis week I am going to clarify the often misinterpreted " eye for an eye" expression that correctly translates as " an eye's worth for an eye" and means so something much different than what most people are taught in their religious institutions.The second major topic is an explanation of the term "Assyrian" and "Assyria" which has significant import in relation to our current world situation.Join me for more!
