This course is a combination of Torah/Biblical lessons culled from the prophetic books of the Bible (Nakh). These include Isaiah, Jeremiah, Haggai, Zechariah and Daniel, along with other lessons about the "End-Times" and the understanding of Messiah in Torah Judaism. This is one of the most comprehensive courses on Messianic/End Times prophecies & teachings from authentic Jewish/Torah sources ever made available in this format. The classical Torah views are discussed with the addition of Kabbalistic, and prophetic insights This course also addresses many scriptures interpreted to be messianic prophecies within Christianity, but not understood as such in Judaism. This course shows how these scriptures were historically understood within Judaism, and how the new interpretations embraced by Christianity came about. This course endeavors to set the record straight to enable all students to have a proper and accurate understanding of Biblical scriptures without the veils of prejudice and dogma.
The individual titles in this course are:
The Sign of the Son, Isaiah 7:14 in Judaism & Christianity Isaiah prophecies the birth of a son. In the next chapter a son is indeed born. How then did this wondrous sign to ancient king Ahaz of Judah become associated with the birth of Jesus, and the foundation of the Christian belief in a virgin birth? This lesson teaches the historical application of Isaiah, chapters seven and eight and shows its application to the times of its natural fulfillment. We then proceed to discuss the Christian Gospel of Matthew and the use of this verse there to introduce the concept of a virgin birth. Did Matthew the Jew really intend to mean this; is what he wrote being interpreted correctly? This lesson is mean to be an exploration into theology and history, and is in no way designed to be confrontational or iconoclastic. For centuries Christians have asked why Jews cannot see the so-called truth of their religion as expressed through our Jewish Bible. This lesson helps to build bridges of understanding to enable those who so wish to comprehend historical and Judaic truths.
Isaiah 40 - Redemption Prophecies, the Beginning This lesson begins our series in the final chapters of Isaiah. From Chapter 40 through the end of the book covers some of the most profound prophetic poetry ever written. Exactly what they mean are been a subject of discussion for centuries. These lessons will cover this material from the classical Torah point of view as well as add original Kabbalistic insights of my own. This lesson includes: * The quantum nature of prophecy. * Psychological and physical redemption. * Secret Torah, prophetic codes within the text. * The nature of the supernatural and the true transitory nature of human existence.
Isaiah 41 * The supernatural military intervention of angelic army of Mashiah. * The destruction and/or evolution of collective human society. * The great trial and accountability of all human governments for centuries of injustice.
Isaiah 42:5-43:11 Prophets Reading (Haftara) for Torah Portion Bereshit. * Ruah & Neshma - the higher and lower elements within human potential. * Redemption means becoming a full human being created in the Supernal Image. * Torah makes us fully human.
* The limitations of human endeavors. * The future destruction of modern Babylon. * The miracles of redemption.
Isaiah 44:24 - 45:17
Isaiah 45:18 - 46 * Quantum Prophecy. * The two Names of God, YHVH & Elohim and their meanings. * The natural evolution of humanity into the messianic era. * The infantile psychology of idolatry that leads to religious fundamentalism.
Isaiah 47-48
Isaiah 49
Isaiah 50-51:8 * The legal contract that binds Israel to God. * Essenes & Pharisees * How the righteous suffer at the hands of those who claim to know better. * Jewish & Christian differences with regards to understanding prophecy. * The power of doing what is Biblically right.
Isaiah 51:8 - 52:12 - God, the Great Programmer God is the Great Programmer. The universe is His program. The Programmer can and does write His program as He wishes intervening and making changes at will. The difference between the Torah concept of Teshuva and the eastern concept of karma.
Isaiah 52:13 - 53 - The Suffering Servant Who is it? Israel, the Messiah, or possibly both? This lesson addresses the differences between Jewish & Christian interpretations and suggests how both need to be understood within the context of history and scholarly review.
Isaiah 54 * The rewards of the suffering servant... * Expansion of the borders of Israel... * The end of humanity's spiritual childhood... * The purpose of exile... * The psychological reasons underlying global anti-semitism and the hatred of Jews & Torah.
Isaiah 55 * Spiritual growth is a natural part of human development... * All human beings who seek out Divine truth can find it and experience it. * Israel's role as servant/priest to bring the Light of Torah to the world... * Benei Noah join Israel in shining G-d's light.
The Book of Zechariah (End-Times Studies) These lessons open for us one of the greatest of mystery texts of the entire Bible. The classic Biblical commentator RASHI writes that Zecharia is a closed book, similar to a dream. In this series of lessons we will endeavor to open up some of these secrets and see the "secrets of the night." The lessons in Zecharia have profound relevance to us today spiritually, psychologically and even politically. This set also includes an eighth lesson on the Book of the prophet Haggai, "Cultivating Courage & Overcoming Adversity."

The Book of Daniel
Daniel is the book par excellence that reveals to us the secret workings of
spiritual agents behind the scenes of every physical phenomenon. Full of
miraculous events, bizarre dreams and their ever more profound meanings, Daniel
takes us on a journey into the invisible realms underlying human consciousness
and human activity.

Torah speaks about a coming New Covenant. Christianity claims that THE CHURCH is this new covenant. What exactly did Jeremiah say about this covenant; what would it be, when would it come and how would we recognize it? How did the original Jewish followers of Jesus understand Jeremiah's prophecy? Did they intend for it to be understood as modern Christianity has interpreted it? This lesson explores Jeremiah 31 and also the Christian Bible, Epistle to the Hebrews (Chapter 8) and takes us on a journey through history, prophecy and variant Biblical interpretation. Donate here Listen here Many Messiahs - Ben David, Ben Yosef and Ben Aharon? How many messiahs are there supposed to be? This lesson takes us on a journey through history, theology and the cherished beliefs of both Judaism and Christianity. We discuss the Biblical concept of Messiah and understand it in its proper form as a renewal of the Davidic monarchy and Jewish independence from foreign and secular rule. We delve into the teachings of the Qumran community and the Essenes with their beliefs based upon Ezekiel's prophecy that there should be a Messiah of Aharon (the priestly line). We continue to discuss the historical character of Jesus and his family and movement the original Nazarenes (Ebionites). We explain what their concept of Messiah was and what they wanted Jesus to be. This lesson shows what the original faith of Yeshu closest followers, Peter, James and John was how it was radically different from later Christianity. We explain details here that show how the original followers of Jesus were certainly not Christian by today's standards and certainly would not have ascribed to modern Christianity's concepts about the Messiah. We discuss the role of the Nazarenes in promoting the Civil War against Rome and what actually led to the schism between Judaism and the followers of Jesus. The schism was originally political in nature, not religious. We discuss the radical ancient Jewish origins of Paul. We then discuss how the concept of the dying Messiah of Yosef developed and how it has been understood by Jews and Christians through the centuries. This lesson is certainly iconoclastic. However this is not a challenge or attack on anyone's faith. Faith is sacred and above reproach. This lesson merely deals with facts of history that can be documented and in most cases validated. This lesson serves as a bridge between the Jewish and Christian communities and will answer why Jews do not believe that Jesus was the Jewish Messiah. Listen here
