Episode 675: Shuva Yisra’el (Return O’ Israel) | Part 2

Have you maintained a faithful, straight walk in Torah? Or, have you gotten “off the path” a little or a lot? Do you sense a call to return to the path, to Yahweh?Taking us to Jeremiah 29:12 Rabbi Steve Berkson points out Yahweh’s pattern of behavior towards His people. When He needs to correct covenant behavior He starts with small subtle nudges and then uses more severe measures to get our attention. Then at some point if He determines we are not listening or responding, we will be turned loose to “play with the pigs” and hopefully come to ourselves and return to Him and the Covenant.• What’s the first thing one should do when returning to Yahweh?• What is “hedging an apology”?• What is not seeking Yahweh with all your heart?In Isaiah 55:6 two things are mentioned – seeking Yahweh while He can still be found, and calling on Him while He is near.• What causes Him to not be near? What separates and causes distance between you and Him?• Why do we not fully understand and accept His ways?• What are 3 things that will forever be in the Kingdom of Elohim?From there, Rabbi Berkson takes us to Lamentations chapters 3 and 5 where we see the formula for a prayer of repentance.• Have you ever been contrary to the Covenant out of rebellion?• What does this mean, “renew our days as of old”?Then we hop back to Jeremiah 6:8-17 where we see how Torah is much more than just “The Law”, but it is for our instruction. Yahweh wants us to be ‘instructed’ by Him.• How can our ears be “uncircumcised”?• Why does Yahweh want to see us walk out His instructions?• What is “greedy for gain”?Verse-by-verse and step-by-step Rabbi Steve Berkson takes us on the journey of discovery and learning how to covenant with our Creator and Father which from time to time requires us to turn around and return to His Word so that we can have a sure entrance into His Kingdom.Don't miss out on new teachings every week.
