The Promise Perspective Podcast

As we move forward in this podcast season, in this particular episode, the conversation shifts from WHAT to do, toward HOW and WHY we live in covenant. I want to address one of the most common questions: “Which commandments are we supposed to keep?” I want to address this by actually challenging the assumption that the answer can be reduced to a simple checklist or summary. Instead, I want to invite you into a deeper, more relational understanding of Torah as the loving instructions of the Father. I want to reframe that question to invite a lifestyle approach to practically walking out Scripture. A central theme of the episode is that obedience is not about mechanical rule-keeping, but understanding the heart of obedience. We are going to revisit a previous episode that addresses the fact that there is actually no Hebrew word that means “obey” in Scripture. It truly is about heart alignment. True covenant living goes beyond outward actions and calls for inner transformation (“circumcision of the heart”).Walking in covenant with the Most High after walking through the door of salvation (which is Messiah) is rich in its understanding. It’s a lifestyle. So, I want this episode to serve as an encouragement and a challenge. Salvation may be the doorway, but covenant is the house—and learning to live in it is a lifelong pursuit of knowing the Father and learning to walk in His ways. That has always been the purpose of grace. Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comFollow on Instagram: @the_promise_perspective  Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/promiseperspective  Donate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppDonate on Patreon: http://patreon.com/thepromiseperspective  Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️Contact me: [email protected] the show

In this episode, this series on “covenant” is being brought full circle by tracing a single, unified thread running from Abraham to Messiah. Rather than presenting Scripture as a story of replaced covenants, what I am attempting to emphasize is continuity—revealing that Yah’s redemptive plan has always been rooted in ONE unbreakable promise.At the center of it all is the distinction between the Abrahamic covenant and the Mosaic covenant. The promise given to Abraham in Genesis 12, and the covenant confirmation in Genesis 15 is shown to be unilateral, irrevocable, and grounded in faith, securing inheritance through the promised Seed, identified as Messiah. In contrast, the covenant at Sinai establishes a conditional, national framework for how Israel was to live as a kingdom of priests within that promise. These covenants are not in opposition to anything, but complementary parts of a larger design and plan. Promise precedes law, and inheritance is rooted in Yahuah’s oath. This is where understanding Paul is so important, yet so widely misunderstood today. My hope is that this series has brought some clarity to this topic.  This episode highlights a critical turning point at the golden calf incident, where Israel’s failure led to a shift from a kingdom of priests to a nation with priests, introducing the Levitical system as a mediated and temporary structure. This system—though holy and beautiful and purposeful—is presented as preparatory, pointing forward to something greater (this is something that will be discussed through the prophets in coming episodes). That “something greater” is the restoration of the Melchizedek priesthood through Messiah. He becomes the perfect sacrifice, bears the covenant curses, and inaugurates a new administration of access to the Most High. This “New Covenant,” prophesied in Jeremiah 31, does not discard the law but internalizes it—writing it on the hearts of believers and enabling true covenant faithfulness from within.A key theme of understanding covenant is understanding access: what was lost through covenant breach is restored through Messiah. The Levitical system regulated access through repeated sacrifices and external mediation, but under the Melchizedek order, believers are invited to “draw near” with confidence through a once-for-all sacrifice and an eternal High Priest.Ultimately, this episode reframes the conversation around Torah, covenant, and obedience. It is meant to challenge the idea of lawlessness while also rejecting a return to shadow systems, and instead calling us into the fullness of what those shadows pointed toward. Fulfillment is not abolition—it is completion.“Recovering the Melchizedek line” means rediscovering our identity as a restored kingdom of priests, living in the reality of Yah’s promise to Abraham (and his SeedMessiah) through a transformed heart. This episode serves as both a conclusion and a launching point, setting the stage for deeper exploration into the meaning and implications of the Melchizedek priesthood in the episodes to come.I can’t wait. Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comFollow on Instagram: @the_promise_perspective  Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/promiseperspective  Donate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppDonate on Patreon: http://patreon.com/thepromiseperspective  Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️Contact me: [email protected] the show

In this episode, we are going to explore one of the most debated questions within the body: What does it mean when certain verses in the Bible say something was “against us,” “abolished,” or “changed”?Many Believers read verses like Colossians 2:14, Ephesians 2:15, and Hebrews 7 and assume that Yah’s law itself was removed. But when we step back and read Scripture carefully we begin to see a much bigger picture. And this bigger picture requires us to go back to Genesis. That is why we started there in this podcast season. Throughout the Bible, Yah’s commandments are described as perfect, righteous, and life-giving. So how could something “good” also be “against us?” The key is understanding the difference between the spirit of the law and the priestly ordinances and administrations that were added because of transgression. In this episode, we look at passages that speak about things being annulled, abolished, or changed, and we examine them through the lens of the priesthood. Scripture reveals that Messiah did not abolish God’s instructions; rather, He fulfilled the prophetic plan that was already written in the Torah. With His coming, there was a change in priestly administration, returning to the older and eternal order of the Melchizedek priesthood—a priesthood that existed long before Sinai.When we understand this shift, the language of “change” and “abolishment” no longer appears as a contradiction. Instead, it reveals the unfolding of Yahuah’s redemptive plan. What seems like disruption is actually restoration—bringing His people back to the promises given to Abraham and the calling to become a kingdom of priests.Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comFollow on Instagram: @the_promise_perspective  Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/promiseperspective  Donate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppDonate on Patreon: http://patreon.com/thepromiseperspective  Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️Contact me: [email protected] the show

I’ve never shared a disclaimer when introducing podcast episodes, but this episode is a very technical and tedious study through Scripture. It requires focus, patience, and a willingness to slow down because it is very detail-heavy. This is one that will challenge the way you think about the “Mosaic Covenant.” Also—I encourage you to listen to Episode 9 (the previous episode) before listening to this one. In this episode, we will tackle the chronology of the ordering of events and the giving of commandments in the books of Moses. The question we will be addressing is: Are the books of Moses written in strict chronological order...or is there something deeper going on?We will carefully walk through the timeline from Mount Sinai to the plains of Moab and uncover how the Torah is actually structured—showing that while the narrative often flows forward, the commandments and events are not always recorded in the order they happened. This distinction changes EVERYTHING.We will cover:--When Aaron and his sons were truly consecrated--When and why the Levites were set apart--How the Golden Calf incident became a turning point for priesthood and mediation--The difference between appointment vs. installation of the Levites--Why some passages in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy appear “out of order”--What it means that Israel went from a kingdom of priests to a kingdom with priestsBy comparing Scripture with Scripture, we begin to piece together a more accurate timeline—one that reveals how the Levitical priesthood was established after the Golden Calf incident, and how that shift impacts covenant understanding.This episode will also piece these findings together to form a bigger picture regarding the distinction between the covenants in Moses, the role of mediation, and how this ultimately points us to the greater High Priest in the order of Melchizedek.Throughout this episode, you may be provoked to think, what’s the big deal, and why does this even matter? It matters because understanding the Melchizedek Priesthood matters. This episode may challenge you. But this is not a surface-level conversation—it’s an invitation into deeper study.

In this episode, we are going to explore and challenge a common assumption that people have about Scripture: that everything under Moses belongs to a single “Mosaic Covenant.” But what if the Bible itself actually points to two distinct covenants administered during Moses’ leadership?This episode will begin with examining 2 Timothy 2:15 and what it really means to “rightly divide the word of truth.” Paul doesn’t tell us to rightly divide truth from error, but to divide the truth. This suggests that Scripture contains important distinctions that must be carefully understood. One of the key texts in this discussion is Deuteronomy 29:1, which explicitly mentions a covenant made in the land of Moab that is “besides” the covenant made earlier at Mount Sinai. The questions that will be presented are:1. If Israel was originally called to be a kingdom of priests (Exodus 19), how did they become a nation with priests limited to the sons of Aaron?2. Why were the tablets of the covenant placed inside the ark, while the Book of the Law was placed beside it?2. What role did the golden calf incident play in the shift toward the Levitical priesthood?4. And how does the priesthood of Messiah relate to the earlier order of Melchizedek?By examining the timeline between Sinai and the plains of Moab (and continuing this examination in the next episode, Episode 10), I am proposing that Israel originally entered a covenant that called the entire nation into priestly relationship with the Most High. After the rebellion with the golden calf, however, the tribe of Levi was separated, establishing the mediated Levitical priesthood that governed Israel’s worship and sacrificial system.Last but certainly not least, we will look at how the New Testament speaks about drawing near to Elohim through Messiah, who restores access to the eternal priestly order—an order connected to Melchizedek rather than the Levitical system.This episode will invite you to reconsider how the covenants unfold throughout Scripture and why understanding these distinctions is essential for properly understanding both Moses and Messiah.In the next episode, we’ll dive deeper and more tediously into the chronology of the books of Moses, the consecration of the Levites, and how placing these events in the correct order sheds new light on covenant and priesthood.Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comFollow on Instagram: @the_promise_perspective  Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/promiseperspective  Donate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppDonate on Patreon: http://patreon.com/thepromiseperspective  Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️Contact me: [email protected] the show

In this episode, we step into one of the most foundational covenants in all of Scripture — the covenant made with Abraham.Rather than asking, “Which covenant are we under?”, we explore the better question: Where do we stand in the unfolding covenant story? From Genesis 12, 15, and 17, we trace the promise of land, seed, and blessing — and uncover how this oath-based covenant finds its fulfillment in Messiah.We examine:The unconditional promise of Genesis 12The unilateral covenant of Genesis 15The prophetic imagery of the smoking furnace and burning lampThe Melchizedek priesthood connectionPaul’s argument in Galatians and Romans that connect us back to AbrahamThe difference between promise and lawThe 400 vs. 430-year prophecyHow Messiah is the promised Seed through whom the nations are blessedThis episode reveals that the gospel is not a new invention — it is the fulfillment of Yahuah’s original promise to Abraham. Messiah does not cancel the covenant; He embodies and secures it.The Abrahamic covenant is about Promise → Identity → Inheritance.And what began with a promise under the stars is still unfolding today.Next, we move into the Mosaic Covenant — how it fits into the same covenant story and why understanding both is essential to seeing the full picture of redemption.Support the show

In this episode, we explore the Davidic Covenant — the unconditional promise Yahuah made to King David that his throne would be established forever. By focusing on passages in Psalm 89, Psalm 132, and 2 Samuel 7, we see the promise of an eternal kingdom flowing through David’s lineage.This covenant doesn’t stand alone. It builds on the story we’ve been tracing from Eden and Noah, revealing one continuous plan of redemption. Ultimately, it points to Yahusha, the Son of David — not only as Savior, but as eternal King and High Priest whose reign restores what was lost. From dominion in Eden to the promise of an unshakable throne, Scripture tells one unified story. And the King at the center of it fulfills every promise. HalleluYAH! Support the show

In this episode, we begin tracing covenant through Scripture starting in the Garden of Eden and moving to the time of Noah. We explore how covenant is not an “Old vs. New” system, but one continuous, unfolding story of restoration.From Eden, we see the original covenant pattern: relationship, instruction, obedience, dominion, and consequence. Adam’s failure brought exile and death—but Messiah, the “last Adam,” came to restore what was lost through perfect obedience. What began in a garden ends in a restored creation, with access to the tree of life restored to those who walk in covenant faithfulness.We also examine the covenant with Noah—an unconditional promise marked by the rainbow—revealing Yah’s mercy and faithfulness to all people (and animals!). Together, these covenants show that Scripture tells one unified redemption story, pointing forward to Messiah and the restoration of all things.And we’re just getting started.Support the show

What does it really mean hen Scripture says that a covenant was “cut?"In this episode, we will explore the ancient Hebrew understanding of covenant as a blood-ratified oath. A covenant is not a casual promise, but a life-binding agreement. From Jeremiah 34 to Hebrews 10, we will unpack why blood was central to covenant-cutting, what the Hebrew word b’riyt reveals, and how this transforms the way we understand the New Covenant in Messiah.Yahusha did not abolish covenant — He restored a broken one through His own blood. The Torah was never the problem; the heart was.If we misunderstand covenant, we misunderstand obedience, identity, and what Messiah truly accomplished. There is nothing more foundational to Scripture than understanding what "covenant" truly means. In the next episode, we trace covenant back to the beginning — to Eden.Yah bless!Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Support the show

What if salvation was never meant to be the finish line?In this episode, we begin a deep dive into one of the most foundational (and most misunderstood) themes in all of Scripture: covenant.From Genesis to Revelation, the Bible is not simply the story of individuals being "saved." It is the story of a covenant-keeping Elohim (God) forming a covenant people. Salvation is the invitation — covenant is the life that follows.In this episode, we lay the groundwork for a 9-part series exploring:• What covenant actually means in Scripture and the different covenants in Scripture• How the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants are connected yet distinct• What makes the “New Covenant” both new and renewed• Why priesthood, mediation, and inheritance matter• How misunderstanding covenant leads to misunderstanding PaulIf we don’t understand covenant, we won’t fully understand grace, obedience, priesthood, or what our Messiah accomplished.Salvation opens the door. Covenant teaches you how to live in the house.This is a deep Bible study series, and we’re building foundations — not just preaching conclusions.I encourage you to watch these episodes in order.

What does it truly mean to “walk in torah?" For many believers, the word carries stigma—law, legalism, or something meant only for Jewish people—but Scripture tells a different story. "Torah" is the Father's loving instructions, and most believers are already walking in it without realizing it. In this episode, we explore how love (not legalism) is the foundation of obedience, how Torah defines what love looks like in action, and why faith doesn’t abolish obedience—it establishes it.We also tackle the deeper questions: Why do people say, "we're not under the law," yet they still walk in it in some aspects of their life? If Messiah fulfilled the Torah, why don’t we practice everything the same way today? We break down commonly misunderstood law categories, explain the shift from the Levitical priesthood to the Melchizedek order (as a brief introduction), and show how fulfillment does not mean abolition. Through the prophets, Book of Hebrews, and Messiah’s own words, let's talk about how the Father's Torah remains holy, spiritual, and alive, and it is now written on the hearts of those led by the Spirit, guiding us in faith, love, and sanctification.Support the show

In this episode, we will discuss the meaning, history, and controversy surrounding the use of Hebrew names for the Father and Son, including the heart behind why I choose to use the names “Yahuah” for the Father and “Yahusha” for the Son. We will explore how ancient Hebrew was written without vowels, how historical events like the Babylonian exile and later scribal traditions influenced pronunciation and translation, and how titles like “Lord” and “God” came to replace the personal Name in many Bible translations, which has deeply influenced our understanding today. We will also examine historical evidence from the Dead Sea Scrolls and early Greek manuscript fragments, which show that the Father’s Name was preserved long after the biblical period. We will discuss the difference between misusing the Name versus using it, the cultural and prophetic significance of names in Hebrew thought, and why heart posture matters more than perfect pronunciation.Lastly, we will address the common “cult” accusations associated with using Hebrew names, clarifying what actually defines a cult and encouraging listeners to approach the topic with humility and love. The episode truly emphasizes the “weightier matter”: honoring the Father not just with our words, but how we live. Resources:What is God’s Name?

Welcome to the first episode of Season 5 on The Promise Perspective Podcast! This episode marks a shift in how we approach the gospel—and how we read the Scriptures as a whole.Rather than beginning with conclusions, this conversation/episode/podcast season invites you to slow down and reconsider the foundations: how the Hebrew Scriptures, the words of the prophets, and the testimony of Messiah all belong to one unified story moving toward fulfillment.In this episode, we will discuss:What Scripture actually means when it says “according to the Scriptures”Why Messiah said Moses wrote about HimHow the priesthood, sacrifices, and Torah functioned as shadowsWhat it truly means for Messiah to fulfill rather than abolishAnd why misunderstanding the word “fulfillment” has created confusion on both extremesThis season is not about reviving old systems OR dismissing them—it’s about clarity. It’s about learning how to honor what was given without returning to what has already reached its intended purpose.If you’ve ever felt tension between obedience and grace…If you’ve wondered why some commandments are no longer practiced physically…If you’ve sensed that the gospel is richer and more layered than what you’ve heard or been taught…Episode 1 is your invitation to join me in a brand new season, in which we will spend time reasoning through the Scriptures the way the apostles did—allowing Messiah to be revealed, not assumed.The shadows were real. The substance is greater. And we are being called to live in that reality.HalleluYAH!! Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.comFollow on Instagram: @the_promise_perspective  Follow on Facebook:   / promiseperspective    Donate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppYour support is greatly appreciated ❤️Contact me: [email protected] the show

This episode/video is the foundation for everything moving forward on The Promise Perspective Podcast.Season 5 is titled “A Royal Priesthood: From Shadows to Reality,” and this introduction is meant to set the lens through which all future episodes—and even my social media posts—are meant to be understood.If you’ve ever come across something I’ve shared and wondered “Where is she going with this?” or “What’s the purpose here?”—this episode answers that.In this introduction as well as Season 5 - Episode 1, I will share: Why the gospel is bigger than we’re often taughtWhy the New Testament cannot be understood without the Hebrew ScripturesWhat it truly means for Messiah to fulfill the Law and the ProphetsHow shadows like the priesthood, sacrifices, tabernacle and appointed times point to YahushaAnd the questions that need to be asked so that we as a body, can understand what it means for us today to live as a royal priesthood in the fullness OF that revelationThis season on my podcast isn’t about returning to rituals and sacrifices—it’s about understanding the gospel. It’s about seeing Messiah revealed from Genesis to Revelation and learning how to walk in the reality of what the “shadows” in Scripture were always pointing toward.If you’re new here, welcome to my page! This is your starting point. If you’ve been walking with me for a while, this is the foundation we’ll be building on moving forward. I pray that this podcast season is a blessing to you. Here’s to learning, walking and growing together.“Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:19Support the show

You can watch this podcast episode on YouTube by clicking hereIn this episode, we will explore some foundational but deeply misunderstood questions: What is the Hebrew definition of “obey?”What does it actually mean to “keep” or “break” the commandments? How did the original Hebrew audience understand obedience, law, covenant, and faith—long before Western theology reshaped those ideas?This episode will challenge modern Christian assumptions by calling us to deconstruct inherited paradigms and return to a Hebraic understanding of Scripture, language, and covenant. The goal is not to burden Believers with rules, but to restore clarity about the heart of the Father and the true nature of the gospel that we are called to “carry to the ends of the earth.”The ultimate goal of this episode is to reframe the biblical definition of obedience in a way that reveals the HEART of the Father. You might be surprised when you learn that the biblical definition of obedience isn’t “do” –  it’s “listen.”  This episode will restore the depth of crucial Hebrew concepts:Shema (often translated “obey”) means to hear, listen, internalize, and respond appropriately.Shamar (often translated as “keep”) means to guard, protect, and watch over.Parar (often translated as “break”) means to trample, disregard, or nullify“Keeping” the commandments is not about flawless performance, but about guarding the Father’s word with a faithful, responsive heart. Likewise, “breaking” the commandments is not about imperfection, but about contempt—casting them behind one’s back and disregarding them.The gospel isn’t about “getting saved.” It’s about learning how to hear the Father, walk in covenant and guard what He loves. Salvation is the door that begins the lifelong journey of learning how to be a covenant people—a “treasured possession” who listens to the Father’s voice with a desire to bring Him the glory and honor He is due. This restores peace, removes fear-driven theology of making things a “salvation issue,” and reframes the Believer’s walk as a journey of learning and intimacy, not simply a list of “do’s and don’ts.” I pray that if you listen to this episode, your heart is filled with joy and excitement as an invitation gets poured into your heart--an invitation that you may have never heard before.The invitation is simple: “SHEMA.” That’s it. To simply “listen.”I pray that this episode helps someone who may be wrestling with obedience, faith, or the purpose of the Father’s commandments. I pray that it encourages and equips you to understand that obedience isn’t just about “doing,” it’s about listening first. So take this as an invitation to slow down. Read the Bible without commentary. Stop listening to men to teach you the Father’s heart and go straight to the Source.Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Support the show

In this episode, we continue unpacking the difficult but necessary history surrounding the transatlantic slave trade, international slavery systems, and how these events connect to the curses described in Deuteronomy 28. When we honestly study geography, Scripture, and historical patterns of oppression, we begin to see how the experiences of those the world calls “Black” in America overwhelmingly align with the very markers Scripture gives to identify the natural branches of Israel. This isn’t about skin color itself, but about the shared, generational experiences of captivity, displacement, and oppression that mirror the biblical curses in their entirety.We also explore Joel 3, where Yahuah condemns the nations for selling His people, scattering them far from their homeland, and dividing His land. This passage strikingly parallels the many slave trades carried out throughout world history—not just the transatlantic system, but numerous others in which powerful nations trafficked and exploited people for profit. Christianity, as practiced by many European and American institutions, played a direct role in this oppression by white-washing Scripture, presenting a European Messiah, and using theology to justify enslavement.This distortion produced deep psychological and spiritual trauma. Enslaved Hebrews were taught a version of Christianity crafted by their oppressors—while simultaneously being beaten, raped, and dehumanized by the same people who demanded they worship a “white savior” and call their enslavers “master.” The long-term impact of this manufactured religious identity has passed down through generations, especially through forbidden images, statues, and portrayals that Scripture itself warns against.We take a deeper look at how early American Christianity was built on pro-slavery theology, from the “slave Bible” that removed empowering passages to sermons commanding enslaved people to obey their earthly masters. We also address the misuse of the “curse of Ham,” and the ways religious institutions have avoided reckoning with their role in centuries of exploitation. We also touch on the Gullah Geechee people—descendants of enslaved Africans who were brought to the coastal regions of South Carolina, Georgia, and Florida. Their unique preservation of language and culture provides powerful evidence of a people who maintained distinct Hebrew-like traditions despite centuries of oppression. The Gullah Geechee’s isolation, resilience, and continuity of ancestral customs mirror the scattered yet preserved identity described in Scripture. Their history offers another compelling layer in understanding who the descendants of the natural branches truly are, and how Yahuah preserved markers of identity even in the midst of captivity.By revisiting this history honestly, we can better understand the identity of Yahuah’s people, the fulfillment of prophecy, and the ongoing impact of slavery on the descendants of those scattered to the four corners of the earth.SOURCES: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PwGkswcNUZrz55zhNpVcXSnsrq8GUaS4/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=102408561475528851254&rtpof=true&sd=true Support the show

In this episode, we take a careful and honest look at how the modern concept of “race” has shaped—and often distorted—our understanding of Scripture, history, and identity. The idea of race is a human-made construct, rooted in hierarchy and social division, not something created by Yahuah. Scripture identifies people by covenant, tribe, and nation—not skin tone. Yet the enemy has used skin color to divide the body and cloud our understanding of the natural branches of Israel. In this study, we revisit what Scripture actually says, explore the history that shaped today’s worldview, and address the blind spots that influence how many of us were taught to read the Bible.We also talk about melanin, historical context, and why the Israelites of Scripture were a deeply melanated people, along with Egyptians, Cushites, and other neighboring nations. But while skin color provides historical context, it is not the sole determining factor of lineage. Instead, Scripture tells us that the curses of Deuteronomy 28 would be a sign—an outward marker tied to lived experiences. This episode unpacks how shared history, oppression, displacement, and prophecy play a far more important role in identifying the natural branches than appearance alone.Ultimately, this message is anchored in compassion, reconciliation, and covenant. Whether natural or wild branches, we are called to abide in the True Vine, Yahusha. This conversation is not about exclusion but about truth, healing, and restoring the context that helps us honor both Scripture and the people of Jacob. My prayer is that this study brings clarity, humility, and unity as we continue seeking Yahuah with sincerity and love.This episode is also available on YouTube and Rumble:Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective   Subscribe on Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/the_promise_perspectiveContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Support the show

In this episode, Stephanie and Amanda dive deep into the biblical call to align our thoughts, words, and actions with Yah's truth. Together, they explore themes of love, obedience, healing, and sanctification, emphasizing the importance of walking in truth and applying Scripture in daily life.They discuss the power of words—the “fruit of our lips”—and how thoughtful, compassionate speech reflects a heart transformed by the Spirit. Drawing from passages like Luke 6:45 and 2 Corinthians 10:5, Stephanie and Amanda share personal insights on taking every thought captive, studying Scripture with discernment, and embracing humility and repentance in the process of spiritual growth.Through honest conversation, they unpack the balance between truth and love, the tension between flesh and obedience, and the healing journey that leads to authentic ministry and reconciliation. This episode encourages listeners to pursue biblical truth, speak with wisdom, and let their lives bear witness to the fruit of a heart aligned with Yah's Word.Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Support the show

In today’s episode, we dive deep into a critical yet often overlooked biblical truth—the difference between wisdom that is from above and wisdom that is earthly, sensual, and even, as James 3:15 puts it, “demonic.” Drawing from James 3, Colossians 3 and the stories of Eve and Solomon, we explore how wisdom is not synonymous with knowledge or truth, but rather a posture of the heart rooted in meekness, reverence, and intimacy with the Father.We examine how Scripture warns of a pursuit of wisdom that can actually lead us away from Yahuah when it’s rooted in pride, envy, or strife. Through careful study and personal transparency, this episode calls the body of Believers—especially within the Torah communities—to examine our conduct, our motives, and our fruit.You’ll hear how Eve’s desire for wisdom led to disobedience, while Solomon’s humble request for discernment brought honor and favor—until compromise took root. We also uncover how meekness, born through affliction, is essential to truly understanding the Father’s ways and stewarding truth in love.This is not just a teaching—it’s a heart cry for reconciliation, restoration, and a sobering plea to make sure that we do not forget our first love. Lovelessness is lawlessness, and truth without the Spirit leads to fruitless knowledge. Let’s learn together how to test the fruit, walk in wisdom, and reflect the heart of our Messiah in everything we do.Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Support the show

Stephanie and Amanda discussed their journey of faith and the importance of biblical love in the church, introducing a podcast series aimed at addressing a lack of love within the body of believers and promoting steps to reconciliation. They explored the relationship between following commandments and showing love, emphasizing the need for personal healing, humility, and emotional awareness in order to truly love others and glorify Yahuah. The conversation concluded with discussions about the upcoming Day of Atonement, the importance of humility in learning and teaching, and the need for repentance, love, and patience in our walk of faith.Stephanie discussed her personal journey of discovering the importance of the commandments and her observations of a growing movement of people who are leaving institutional religion due to discrepancies between biblical teachings and church practices. She noted a simultaneous decrease in love among these individuals, prompting her to question the relationship between following commandments and showing love. Stephanie highlighted gaps in both Christianity and Judaism, emphasizing that while Christianity focuses on the Messiah but often neglects the commandments, Judaism lacks belief in the Messiah. She expressed her belief that a body of believers seeking to follow the commandments and uphold the testimony of Yahusha should also prioritize love for one another.Amanda discussed the importance of self-love and healing in order to truly love others and glorify Yahuah the way that Scripture instructs us to. She explained how wounds and trauma can be used by the enemy to hinder our growth and relationships if not addressed. Amanda emphasized the need to overcome pride, fear, and the desire for validation from others, encouraging people to allow themselves to be seen and loved by Yah. She concluded that healing and self-love are essential steps in becoming the kind of disciple of Messiah who can truly shine Yah's light and mature in our role in becoming a part of a royal priesthood. We hope that this is a step to restoring, repairing and reconciliation within the body so that Yahuah, our Heavenly Father, can get all the glory and we look forward to more conversations in future podcast episodes. Yah bless y'all!! ❤️Link to YouTube video: https://youtu.be/2HcfmeeiwxgContact me: [email protected] Douglas (IG): @a_douglas1Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comSupport the show

“To the angel of the assembly of Ephesus write: These things says He who holds the seven stars in His right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden lampstands:I know your works, your labor, your patience, and that you cannot bear those who are evil. And you have tested those who say they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars; and you have persevered and have patience, and have labored for My name’s sake and have not become weary. Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love. Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place—unless you repent.”Revelation 2:1-5While there are some who believe that these letters to the assemblies are written to serve a certain purpose, place and time, I believe that the condition of the body of Messiah transcends just one moment in time. Based on the fact that these warnings were given while John was “in the Spirit” on the Day of Yahuah, I believe these letters still serve a very important purpose to be checkpoints and warnings to us today. I believe these letters serve to highlight conditions within the body that we are admonished to address before Yahusha returns.I want to share with you where the Father has had me with His Word lately. I pray that this blesses you, encourages you and exhorts you. And please know—the Father had to convict and correct me with the title of this message before I could share it with others. Love ya’ll. Visit my website: www.promise-perspective.comContact me: [email protected] the show

Ministry isn't always about what truth we can share with one another, but it's about the heart behind the pursuit of truth. To the one whose striving for truth is offensive to others...to the one who feels like the more they strive for reconciliation, the more division it causes...to the one who feels like they have so much to learn but not enough time...this one is for you. Love ya'll. Support the show

“Surely Yahuah Elohim will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.”Amos 3:7I think most Believers would agree that it is important to be prepared for what Scripture reiterates as a “great and terrible day” when it comes to the “Day of Yahuah.” It will be a great day for those prepared, but it will be a terrible day for those unprepared. Our Messiah even tells us that it’s important for us to be prepared and that we should not be caught off guard at His return, by giving us parables like the wise and foolish virgins and the wedding banquet. Many people look to the New Testament writings to gain understanding about end times prophecies, without understanding that Yahuah has already revealed these things through His prophets. The majority of the whole discourse from Yahusha in Matthew 24 is literally straight from the Tanakh (Old Testament)!I constantly reiterate why it is so important that our foundation of truth and understanding should be built from the Old Testament. So for today’s episode, I want to spend some time threading the harmony of Scripture by going through what the prophets spoke of in order to help us all be prepared for the return of our King. Additional links for study:The Timing of Our Messiah's Death, Burial and Resurrection & the True Sign of JonahExamples of "Not So Old" Testament TruthsEpisode 32 TranscriptContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_promise_perspective/Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/promiseperspectiveDonate on Venmo: https://venmo.com/u/stephanie-green0611Donate on PayPal: http://paypal.me/stephaniegreentppDonate on Patreon: http://patreon.com/ThePromisePerspective Your support is greatly appreciated ❤️Support the show

In today's episode, I want to discuss the harmony between the Old and New Testaments of what it truly means to be a part of the house of Israel, as well as the "seed" of the promise given to Abraham. The depth and beauty of Yahuah's truth is something I desire for us all to be reconciled to and through.

**Please see updated transcript, as some verses are misquoted in Episode 30** If there is one thing I am continuing to learn as I study Scripture, it is just how much harmony is between the “Old” Testament and the “New” Testament. I really don’t like using those words, “old” and “new,” because the truth is, is that labeling certain sections of the Bible as “Old Testament” and “New Testament” is a result of manmade title pages inserted into our Bible today to subtly divide the two, when that should have never been the case. We should not have this perception of “old” and “new” when it comes to Scripture today. In fact, the New Testament really doesn’t teach anything “new.” It confirms, strengthens, magnifies, and renews what has already been established. We have a “renewed” (i.e. new) covenant that was brought forth through our Messiah, but without understanding what it means to be in covenant with the Most High in the first place, there is much that will go misunderstood, and it becomes easy for one to read the New Testament with an isolated understanding of Scripture as a whole. I am desperate to bring reconciliation to this issue, and it is for that reason that I want to take some time in today’s episode to discuss the harmony between the “Old Testament” and “New Testament.” Episode 30 TranscriptBlog PostSupport the show

“I am the TRUE vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser.”John 15:1I believe that there is a grievous misunderstanding within the body at large about the reason our Messiah was sent here. Without this understanding, we can’t truly know what it means to ”abide” in Him the way He instructs His disciples to as we continue to read through that passage in John 15. This deserves our attention, because He warns us that if we don’t “abide” in Him, we will be likened to a branch that gets cut off and cast away. This is why we must understand how the branches were broken off to begin with. Broken branches in Scripture is symbolic to a broken covenant. Without this understanding, we cannot understand how the covenant was renewed through our Messiah. He didn’t replace His Father’s covenant—He renewed it. He came to atone for sin, yes, but the true gospel message is SO much deeper than that. He came to renew the covenant, in which He made a way for both natural and wild branches to be restored. This is why He says “I am the TRUE Vine” now. But out of all things, why would our Messiah use the imagery of a vine and a vineyard in His instructions and parables? Because He was/is teaching from the Scriptures. He is bringing to mind the prophecy that points us to Him. If you are wondering, “what prophecy?” then I encourage you to tap in to Episode 27. In order to understand the back of the Book, we have to have a foundation in the Tanakh—what people refer to as “Old” Testament. It is truly amazing how much Scripture can bring so much revelation and clarity to just one short verse in John 15:1.

What does it mean to have a “perfect” heart, when Scripture tells us that the heart is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked?” (Jeremiah 17:9)How was David acknowledged for having a “perfect” heart, when he was guilty of sin?These are some questions I want to spend some time with in Episode 22.I also want to spend some time at the end of this episode to give you some updates on the future direction of this podcast.

Then one said to Him, “Master, are there few who are saved?”And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:23-24).What does it mean to “strive” to enter in through the narrow gate?According to our Messiah’s words, striving and seeking are two very different things. Yahusha was not talking about those who aren’t seeking at all. He’s talking about the difference between those who are “striving” and those who are “seeking.”This is worthy of some serious attention. There is a word that I am constantly stirring over...it’s one that has created an inner turmoil for me that I know I need to continue to wrestle with and sit with. It’s a word that I cannot seem to shake: “FEW.”Many are called, FEW are chosen.The path is narrow and FEW find it.The harvest is plenty but the laborers are FEW.Only a remnant is making it through the narrow gate that leads to life. I want to share with you where my studies have led me in understanding what it means to truly STRIVE. I want to share with you why several Hebrew word studies have helped me better understand the call of Yahuah’s remnant—His covenant people. There have been many thoughts and several verses in Scripture that I’ve wrestled with over the last several months. This wrestling for truth has afflicted me, disciplined me, humbled me and now I’m ready to strive with you over some hard, yet necessary truths.

Scripture speaks to the call to be a laborer for the harvest, one in which there are only very few who answer that call (Luke 10:2). While there is much in the Word that speaks to planting seeds, bearing fruit, putting your hand to the plow, I want to spend some time talking about the depth of what it means to “labor” for the harvest. “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek Yahuah till he come and rain righteousness on you. You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped lawlessness, you have eaten the fruit of lies because you trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men."Hosea 10:12-13We are called to labor for this harvest, to prepare the way of our King, and my heart breaks because I feel like the wickedness and lawlessness that has been plowed, sown, rooted and grown because of so many false teachings and traditions of men has created this “fallow ground” that Yahuah is instructing us to break up. As the Parable of the Sower illustrates in Matthew 13, before any seed can be planted on “good soil,” we must foster the conditions necessary for the seeds to be planted in the first place. Any good gardener will tell you that there’s no use planting any seeds if the soil hasn’t been prepared first. That’s one of the main reasons why I say that before anything can be planted, the hardened, cloddy soil (our heart) must be tilled first, the weeds (the lies) needed to be pulled from their root, and the stones (the stumbling blocks) needed to be removed.To labor for the harvest is not just about planting seeds—it’s about how we cultivate the soil of our hearts as well as the hearts of those around us. The call to labor will require you to get your hands dirty, the sweat of your work will be your tears, it will require you to rest, but we know that it will be worth it.“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."Psalms 126:5-6Episode 20 TranscriptContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

There is so much to be said about this episode, yet I struggle to find the words to explain it. If you’ve been listening to Season 4, you know that the core thread of these last 19 episodes is all about understanding what it means to be in covenant with our Creator. We’ve done many Hebrew and Greek word studies, sifted through history, declared the goodness of Yahuah and His commandments, and have even painfully discussed why the Christian religion, broadly speaking, is in massive deception of understanding what Scripture says about Yahuah and His will for us. All that being said, I hope and I pray that throughout Season 4, Yahuah has ministered to your heart and showed you the depth of what it means to be a true disciple of the One who He sent in His Name to restore the everlasting covenant and reconcile us back to Himself.The depth of this truth, and what He has done for me is something that is hard to talk about without bringing me to tears. I pray that the tears from this episode sow a seed in the hearts of many.

This is a heavy episode. For those who are new to my podcast, please don’t start at Episode 17. You must start at the beginning of Season 4. You need to know what has brought me to the understanding that I have today about how the enemy has used Scripture to deceive the masses. I’d like to be very, very clear that I am not and will never deny our Messiah. I love Him and our heavenly Father Yahuah with my whole heart, and I believe every word in Scripture was written with His very breath through the pens of those He chose as His vessel. In that same breath as I write this, I also say this: Christianity is a false religion. You may be wondering, “how can you say that you love the Messiah and believe the Bible, but you say that the Christian religion is false?”My attempt to answer that question is laid out in Season 4, but is explicitly answered in this episode. The word up for serious study in this episode is: IMAGE. This episode is going to be a very deep dive study of some fundamental truths that the body needs to know.  As you dive into this episode, please keep an open mind and take this to the Father in prayer. I love you.Supplemental Documents:Episode 17 TranscriptClarification on Episode 17 (YouTube video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQXukW3y4nw&t=2152sContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

History unveils prophecy. History connects the dots.History fills in the lack of knowledge that people are perishing from. History MATTERS.But here’s the thing...Not only does the body not know history, but the body has been told and taught a false version of history that has literally been written by the hands of people who have been used as vessels by the enemy for the spiritual captivity of our minds.Yea—it’s deep. In repairing this breach, we have to talk about history. This is not an easy task for those who love the truth, because the truth has been covered up. By the grace of Yahuah, He is helping guide my studies so that I can chew on the meat and spit out the bones. He is helping me read between the lines. He is helping me understand prophecy better as I understand the true narrative of history in terms of scriptural context. The battle between Jacob and Esau is an everlasting conflict that will rage until the second coming of our Messiah. This is the lens that we must put on in order to understand prophecy and how history has played out its continual fulfillment and how this conflict has been a perpetual attempt to destroy the children of Israel. I hope that Episode 16 will continue to help fill in some gaps and give you some key events, people, etc., to help you understand what has led to the deception that is being exposed today. The reason this episode is particularly important is because it will help give us the cultural, religious and political climate that was the environment of the Hebrew people before and during the life of our Messiah. It paints the picture of what life was like in Judaea and the surrounding areas that were now under Roman control. There is so much that will be discussed in this episode (just like the last episode). Instead of summarizing, it will be easier to give you the list of topics of discussion. So, here they are:The rise of the Roman EmpireTimeline of Roman Emperors from 1st century BCE – 1st century CEHistorical events that occurred between 420 BCE and 1 CEThe Maccabees & the Maccabean RevoltThe Hasmonean DynastyThe Herodian Dynasty & Edomites The development of the Pharisees and SadduceesImplications and things to consider about the true Israelites and Edomites as it relates to prophecySupplemental Documents:Episode 16 Transcript'A History of the Jews' by Solomon GrayzelRome History TimelineEsau (the torah.com) Hellenistic Judaism Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

We are currently 15 episodes into Season 4: ‘Who is Israel?’ on The Promise Perspective Podcast, and we are far from finished with this season. As I have mentioned before, the topics discussed on this season have to be tackled at many different angles and layers. This is incredibly challenging for me, as I desperately want people to know the truth, but I also maintain my plea to not take my word for it. We read in Hosea 4:6 that people are perishing from a lack of knowledge. One of the purposes of this podcast season is to help fill in some of these gaps. One of the biggest reasons for this is because many people today have been taught to view history through a faulty lens; one that does not represent the truth of how the faith came to be what it is today. This is part of repairing the breach that I am trying to mend with my brothers and sisters today. So, for the purposes of Episode 15, I want to discuss A LOT of history with you. Because there is so much that is discussed in this episode, instead of summarizing it all, I want to simply give you a list of what topics will be unpacked. Please also be sure to check out the ‘Supplemental Documents’ in the podcast episode description box for sources to help you test and study these things out for yourself. Topics of Episode 15:-The difference between a “Jew” (Strong’s H3064) and a “Jew” (Strong’s H3054)-The emergence and influence of the Macedonian (Greek) Empire-Hellenism -The Phoenicians and Ancient Carthage-The Ptolemaic and Seleucid Empires-A revisiting of the lineage of the Hebrews and the “lost” tribes of Israel-Serapis Christus and the origins of Christianity-Who are the Natsarim?-The next emerging empire: Rome “Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.”Isaiah 58:12Supplemental Documents:Episode 15 TranscriptSerapis and Christians PDFPhoenicians Inscriptions of Cyprus Museum The Lost Tribes, a Myth: Suggestions Toward Rewriting Hebrew History by Dr. Allen GodbeyLetter From AristeasSerapis (World History Encyclopedia)Epiphanius’ Condemnation of the Natsarenes (Nazarenes)Contact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

In Matthew 22, we read a parable of a man who attended a wedding, in which when the king came in to see the guests, he saw this man who did not have on a wedding garment. He asked him, “how did you come in here without a wedding garment?”The man was speechless. Directly after, the king said to his servants, “bind him hand in foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”All because of a wedding garment!? Parables are earthly stories that convey a spiritual reality. They are meant to be understood for a discerning mind, but they will remain a mystery to those without discernment and understanding. Our Messiah is telling us something very important regarding the topic of “garments.” And that is what I want to discuss in this episode. If we are to understand this parable, surely we should have Scripture to give us an understanding of how we are to have the proper garments for the great wedding day, right?The good news is that Scripture actually does tell us exactly what these garments are supposed to look like and what it means to have our garments ready. Just as we’ve discussed the need to have oil in our lamps to be prepared, we must also have the proper garments as well. I don’t want to be the one found without the right garments when it is time for the marriage supper of the Lamb. Yahusha ends that parable by saying, “many are called, but few are chosen.”Supplemental Documents:Episode 14 TranscriptContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

There are so many things in Scripture that teach us the significance of the priestly garments, especially the garments of the High Priest, who is Yahusha now. As we walk through Episode 13, I hope that you will be able to see how, just the like Tabernacle, how these garments also point to the priesthood of our Messiah! How is this relevant to His new priesthood (us) today? Well, one of the most significant pieces was the turban of the High Priest. In Exodus 28:36, we read that there was a gold plate sewn on the front of the turban of the High Priest with the engraving “QODESH LA YAHUAH,” which means “SET APART TO YAHUAH.” Yahuah’s name was to always be placed on the forehead of the High Priest. This was a sign of how the High Priest was set-apart to Yah. And through the blessing pronounced by the High Priest (because he was the appointed mediator between Yahuah and the children of Israel), Yahuah also placed His Name on the children of Israel. Numbers 6:24-27 - “Yahuah bless you, and keep you. Yahuah make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. Yahuah lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace. And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.This was a priestly blessing.Yahusha, our new High Priest, is authorized to mediate this blessing, just as the Levitical High Priest was. To be blessed by Yahuah is to have His NAME placed on you. It is more than just a name—it is to be identified with and be a representation of who He is.The High Priest carried Yahuah’s name and he also carried the names of the 12 tribes as 12 stones were put on the breastplate of his garment. The High Priest was always Yahuah’s representative to Israel and Israel’s mediator before Yahuah.Comparatively, Israel carried Yahuah’s name into the world and represented the Most High to the nations. What made Israel set apart from everyone else is that they had commandments that showed the world who they worshipped. We are to be representatives of who our Creator is, to be a light to the world, and to be in covenant with Him means that we have commandments that help us to be successful in our calling.When Yahuah was revealing His Name to me, I read the passage in Exodus 28 about how the gold plate which had Yah’s Name on it was placed on Aaron’s forehead, and the Ruach literally took me straight to the Book of Revelation.Revelation 14:1 - Then I looked, and behold, a Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His Father’s name written on their foreheads.Revelation 22:4 - They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. Our new High Priest is authorized to mediate this blessing now, to place the Father’s name on His children. He said He “came in His Father’s Name” for a reason.2 Timothy 2:19 - Nevertheless the solid foundation of Elohim stands, having this seal: “The Master knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Messiah depart from iniquity.”“Yahusha” means “Yahuah is salvation.” Every time the Messiah’s Name departs from your lips, you are confessing that Yahuah is your salvation. And Yahusha was sent to do the will of the Father. The priestly garments teach us how important the Father’s Name is. And if you didn’t already know, the woman riding on the beast in Revelation 17 had a name on HER forehead too:And on her forehead a name was written: “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”Let’s study.

As I prepare to do some heavy unpacking on Episode 12 of Season 4 of “Who is Israel?” I want to start out by quoting Revelation 20:6...“Blessed and holy is he that has part in the first resurrection: on such the second death has no power, but they shall be as priests of Elohim and of Messiah, and will reign with Him a thousand years.” The word I want to focus on here is “priests.” We know that Yahusha is our new High Priest. Peter tells us that we are a part of a “royal priesthood.” Scripture even gives us prophecy that points us to a time in which we will be called “priests” (Exodus 19:5-6 & Isaiah 61:6). My question I want to pose to you as I approach the content of Episode 12 is, do you know how to apply this to your life? Do you know what it means to be a part of the priesthood that will get to reign with Yahuah and our Messiah for a thousand years? Do you know that there are two resurrections?What if I told you that Scripture gives us the blueprint to teach us how to be priests?The answers we desperately need are found in the front of the Book that man has deemed to be an “old” testament.The body is missing out on some of the most beautiful, fundamental truths because it is not common knowledge to how the physical design of the earthly tabernacle prophetically points to the fulfillment through Yahusha and teaches us about the call we have now to minister and serve the Most High now “as living stones being built up as a spiritual house” (1 Peter 2:5). The priesthood training is now.I pray that this episode helps to prepare, equip and encourage the body. I pray that Yahuah pours His truth into you so that you can fully understand and embrace the call He has on your life and what it means to answer that call.If we are to be priests, we need to know what that really means according to Scripture. His tabernacle is our blueprint and illustrates the call to the priesthood in the most beautiful way that could only be fulfilled by our Messiah. Bring your shovel. It’s time to dig in.Supplemental Documents:Episode 12 TranscriptTabernacle Blueprint Renewed Through YahushaContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

We have a new High Priest. It is prophesied that those in covenant with Yahuah will become a kingdom of priests. It is only those who take part in the first resurrection that will serve in this new priesthood during the Millennial Reign. What does this mean to Believers today? How are we supposed to apply this understanding to our own lives? More so, how are we to function, since the body is currently the new Temple/Tabernacle of Elohim, yet with the understanding that we are also anticipating the Tabernacle not made with human hands to dwell with us in the New Jerusalem?Do we know what it means to be a part of a “royal priesthood?”These are all questions I hope to address over the next several episodes. If we don’t understand this fundamental piece of the gospel message, how do we expect to reign with our Messiah as priests? This is not explicitly stated in Scripture, but this is our training period, beloved. This is one of the reasons why ‘Season 4: Who is Israel?’ has been so focused on covenant thus far. But now it’s time to switch gears. We have a renewed covenant, but we also have a renewed priesthood. The focus of Episode 11 today is on the role of the Levitical priesthood and the Tabernacle built by the children of Israel under the guidance of Moses. While we are not under the order of Aaron anymore, and while many of the commandments concerning Levites do not apply to us at this particular moment in Yah’s timeline of redemption, this has led many to believe that the priesthood in the Tanakh is no longer relevant to our understanding of our call to the priestly office today. I find it interesting that the Bible only has two chapters devoted to explaining how Yahuah created the entire world. But it devotes dozens of chapters to the tabernacle and the priesthood. The amount of space that Yahuah devotes to the instructions of building His earthly Tabernacle should grab our attention. But if we’re being honest (I’ve been guilty of this too), we either skip through those chapters or skim them just briefly. I am here to tell you that these chapters are more important than you think or have been led to believe. This is something that will take a couple more episodes to thoroughly unpack.  As we go through more detail on the new priesthood next time, I want you to first be able to see how this blueprint of the Tabernacle given to Moses was revealed in the sacrifice of our Messiah, and illustrates the purpose and role of the new priesthood we are called to be a part of today. It is such a beautiful truth that the body needs. I pray this helps to repair that breach.The earthly tabernacle was a physical blueprint of a spiritual reality, in which the “pattern” Moses was shown on the Mount was a resemblance of Yahuah’s Tabernacle, aka “Dwelling Place” in heaven, in which is woven all throughout Scripture. Let’s study.

So far on Season 4, we have talked about the word "covenant" in many episodes. To understand what it means to be in covenant with the Most High is fundamental to our understanding of Scripture. To be in covenant with Yahuah also means being "marked" by Him. On today's episode, we are going to break down the word "covenant" in its Hebrew origin to gain even more clarity and understanding of the depth, beauty and significance of this word. I encourage you that if you haven't already done so, please make sure you start at the beginning of Season 4 as we go through these studies. Each episode truly builds off of one another and there are some historical and scriptural precepts I want you to have, as we have been building on this word "covenant" over the majority of the episodes on Season 4. I pray that your studies are so, so blessed!

There has been a fundamental teaching left out of mainstream Christianity today that is crucial to our understanding of Scripture, the will of Yahuah and the message of our Messiah. And that is the understanding of what it means to be in covenant with our Creator. The entire theme of reconciliation and restoration talked about in Scripture has everything to do with being in covenant and staying in covenant.  Without understanding the scriptural definition of the “covenant,” it has allowed for a misunderstanding of what an “old” versus “new” covenant is. The truth is that there is only ONE covenant given to Yah’s people, in which the Father calls “everlasting” and one in which the Bible teaches that He has historically renewed over and over with His people. You often hear the words like the “Noahic covenant,” the “covenant of Abraham,” the “law of Moses,” and “the law of Christ” mentioned in many teachings. Many people are getting confused over these terms because they’ve been taught that the covenant and the torah meant different things to different people at different moments in time. But the truth is that those words are not indicating different “covenants,” but are actually indicating the mediator in which Yah chose to minister His covenant through at that particular moment. Yahuah chose different mediators in which to reveal and renew His covenant through, but still—there is only one covenant. Our new mediator is our new High Priest, Yahusha! It says in Hebrews that He is the mediator of a better covenant, in which the Father’s commandments (because of the gift of the Holy Spirit) would be written on our hearts. It is time to restore people to the truth of the Father and the testimony of our Messiah. It is time to return to Him and His covenant. Let’s talk about it.  Supplemental Documents:Episode 9 TranscriptContact me: [email protected] my website: www.promise-perspective.com Become a supporter of the show: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1878259/supportYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@ThePromisePerspective Rumble Channel: the_promise_perspectiveSupport the show

After King Cyrus of Persia conquered Babylon, he issued a decree that would allow the Yahudim to return to their homeland. Isaiah and Jeremiah were both prophets that had witnessed to the people of this coming event (Isaiah 13:17 & Jeremiah 51:11). “Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit Elohim had raised, to go up to build the house of Yahuah which is in Jerusalem.”Ezra 1:5In this episode, we reach a point in time in which the Babylonian captivity was over and it was time to return home and rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem. While the majority of the Yahudim (Jews) chose to stay in Babylon at the time, Yahuah strengthened the hands of the spirit-filled minority of those who chose to return through the guidance of people like Ezra, Nehemiah and Haggai. If there is one word I could use to summarize the heart and motive of those Yahuah chose to oversee the rebuilding of Jerusalem, it would be “reconciliation.” I want to summarize this episode by listing some highlights that this episode will cover. Yahuah is leading me to sit with this episode for a bit and unpack some more things with anyone who wants to listen. Here are the main points of this episode:The Medo-Persians and the extent of the Persian EmpireThe call to rebuild and the return from Babylon The work of Ezra and Nehemiah How Yah’s covenant was made possible with GentilesEsther 8:17 (this is a big one)A preface to how history of a specific group of people has been erased I hope and pray that the Father is using this season to edify you and pour into you in your  studies.
