Episode 796: Be Set-Apart | Part Sixteen | Exploring Ephesians | What is the Good News?

Leviticus 19:2 reads that Yahweh told Moses to tell the children of Israel, to “be set-apart for I, Yahweh your Elohim, am set-apart.” Yahweh considers His people, His chosen people, to be something of amazing beauty, great value and rareness. His desire is to show the whole world this set-apart nation–the ones whom He has redeemed and made as a shining city on a hill.Doing a deep-dive into the letter to the Ephesians, Rabbi Berkson unpacks verse by verse this Pauline epistle so that we can try to understand why Paul was continuously bringing in the concept of being set-apart into his letter.As he continues on the topic of the armor of Elohim, Rabbi Steve Berkson focuses our attention on the concept of the Good News.• Mark 1:1 – It’s so much more• Matthew 11:1-6 – There was an expectation• Psalm 40:1-17 – Anticipating the Good News• Isaiah 40: 1 – The Comforter is coming• Say to this mountain…• Isaiah 40:10 – His reward is with Him• Isaiah 40:28-31 – Those who endure to the end• Isaiah 41:1-29 – Israel is not rejected or forgotten• Isaiah 42:1-7 – Messiah Yeshua revealedDon't miss out on new teachings every week.
