Gospel Feast

Every 7th episode we take questions from our listenership. In this episode we ask our author and historian about his involvement with a daguerreotype (a photograph) of the Prophet Joseph Smith that was in the possession of the Prophet's wife Emma, and their eldest son Joseph Smith III in the 1800s. Those wishing to see the photograph can do so here: GospelFeastBooks.com in the "Podcast&q...

The 7th thousand year period is called “The Millennium.” It is the 1,000 years of all the 1,000 years! It is the time hoped and prayed for by every prophet and saint from the days of Adam. It will be a time of great joy, when radical changes will take place on the Earth, in nature, and in mankind. God will renew the Earth and give it back its paradisiacal glory which will at first be a Terrestrial...

Jerusalem will know at least three Temples. The first was built by King Solomon with the help of King Hiram of Tyre. It was paid for in advance by King David but the actual construction fell upon Solomon. It was destroyed by Nebuchadnezzar during Ezekiel's lifetime. The Second Temple we call Zerubbabel’s Temple. It was built 70 years later when the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem und...

We know that in coming days there will be terrible wars, great wickedness, carnality, corruption, and abomination such as the world has never before seen. The cup of man’s iniquity will be full, and the fury and scourge of the Lord will be poured without measure upon all nations. The Battle of Armageddon is one of those events that will absolutely happen. Where we are uncertain about particulars,...

Christianity has no issue with the concept of resurrection. It is the fundamental tenant of our common faith that all men will be raised from the dead as the free gift of Jesus Christ. What is stranger is that Judaism has no concept of the resurrection today. Because of scriptures like Ezekiel 37 , in Jesus’s Day, Jewry was spilt into two camps on this issue. The Pharisees believed in a coming res...

The Lord is no respecter of persons. He will accept any who will come to Him and learn His ways. The Lord is also a righteous judge and is stuck with the burden of dealing with those who repeatedly will not listen. Israel has had many outrageous enemies. It is illuminating to note that the Lord is most annoyed with the children of men when they kick a brother who is down. The Lord believes in call...

Over the course of mankind’s history, the Lord has used numerous symbols and models to try and explain the Plan of Salvation to all in eastern terms. His chosen exemplars, the Children of Israel, were such a rebellious house that the Lord had been forced to stoop to role-plays, children’s games and riddles to try and get their attention. Ezekiel 15-17 are riddles that the Lord is posing to Israel...

Every 7th episode we take questions from our audience. This episode we address the question, "Where are the Lost Ten Tribes?' If you have a question you would like to submit, please send it to: GospelFeastBooks@gmail.com. If you are interested in the author's book Ezra & The End of Days you can find it on Amazon in various formats. Ready for some meat after all the milk? The Gos...

Just like the chiasmus poem we studied previously, the Lord works in One Eternal Round . In these next verses we will see that while the Lord will destroy Zion and Jerusalem, He will also gather and rebuild the same — One Eternal Round. Ready for some meat after all the milk? The Gospel Feast Series is available here in 20+ volumes. It's time to Feast on the Word of God! Some podcast distribu...

The glory of the Lord is called the Shekinah in Hebrew. This is a curious word. It means God’s dwelling as in His resting. True to our eastern studies, it is a feminine word. One of the saddest days in Israel was the day that the Shekinah left Solomon’s Temple. It had come and rested upon the Holy House once it was dedicated by Solomon. Witnesses who saw it, while it was there, say that it caused...

We studied together in the Book of Zechariah , how foreknowledge can be a burden. So much of the weeping of Jeremiah was over the fact that he was forced to prophecy events that would come to pass because the people would not repent. The Lord required him to try anyway. It was a hopeless task. Ezekiel saw the same burden.  No prophet but Isaiah is more poetic than Ezekiel. His writings are filled...

The Lord tells Ezekiel that He is going to attempt to reach the people through a series of Role Plays that function like visual parables. He also decrees the length of the punishment that will be upon the people, including the little known clause given through the administration of Moses. We will also discuss the secret of the Abomination of Desolation. Ready for some meat after all the milk? The...

Ezekiel has been ushered up to the foot of the war chariot of the Living God. It is a unique vehicle more in the form of a palanquin or escorted litter, than a chariot. Whether Ezekiel was taken to God, or God had come to him, the effect was the same. Ezra said it best, “Who shall stand when he appeareth? For he is like a refiner’s fire.”35 Ezekiel found himself face down on the ground before the...

Ezekiel is the perfect book for us to flap our eastern wings because it contains imagery and teachings that are not accessible to a western mind. If you doubt me (and why would you?) do a search for yourself. You will find that there are acres of writings by some very smart people all trying to make sense of Ezekiel . They vary on a scale from deeply mysterious to pure science fiction. Some make v...

Every 7 episodes we take questions from our listeners. In this episode we answer two questions from our worldwide audience. If you have a question, you are invited to submit it to: gospelfeastbooks@gmail.com. Ready for some meat after all the milk? The Gospel Feast Series is available here in 20+ volumes. It's time to Feast on the Word of God! Some podcast distribution platforms create subtit...

You are about to embark upon a fabulous journey into the Book of Ezekiel . It may be one of the strangest experiences you will ever have with holy scripture. It is a book that you have never really studied before in Sunday School, Institute or Seminary. I think that will be clear soon enough and you can make that final judgement for yourself as to why. There are parts of Ezekiel which are forbidde...

The history of Israel knows at least 31 Zechariahs. We know the last of these by the Greek version of his name Zacharias, the Father of John the Baptist, whom the Lord Jesus Christ called "the greatest prophet born of woman." What? How can this be? We can’t spend a season on the Book of Zechariah the Levite priest and prophet and not conclude it with the last of his name, Zecharias of th...

The Book of Malachi was written by the Prophet Ezra as the closing chapter to the compilation that he was commanded to compile for the return of the Jews and Levites (with some Benjamites) to the Holy Land. It was to be the Lord's final words until He sent His messenger, John the Baptist, to announce the coming of the Messiah, our Lord Jesus Christ. This episode also explores the curse mentio...

This is part 2 of a question from one of our listeners on sacred architecture. If you have not yet listened to  episode 64 on Moses's Tabernacle, you will want to as this episode expands on that one.  Know Ye Not that Ye Are the Temple?! It's time to feast on the Words of Jesus Christ!  A very special thank you to professional actor Robert Martin III for his retelling of the story of Dav...

The Prophet Haggai was one of a handful of prophets who were sent back with Zechariah to prepare Jerusalem and the Temple for the return of the nation. His little book, while not considered the most poetic of the prophets, does contain some wonderful surprises for our modern lives, as well as stands as proof that the Lord of Hosts (Jesus Christ) always keeps His promises to us, although not always...

Every 7th episode we answer questions from our listeners. In this episode our scholar addresses the deeper symbolism and mystery behind the Tabernacle that the Lord God commanded Moses to build in the Wilderness. This is a royal feast which just goes to prove that the gospel is as rich and rewarding as we wish to make it. It's time to feast on the Word! Part 2 of this topic can be found in ep...

The Book of Zechariah is one of the apocalyptic books of the Old Testament from which we are able to gather information about the End of Times, or the very last days before the return of our Lord Jesus Christ as King of our planet. In this episode we will continue to discuss end time events particularly from the slant of Zechariah from where the previous episode left off. (This is part 2 of 2.) Th...

In this episode  we will discuss end time events particularly from the slant of Zechariah. This is part 1 of 2. Those wishing more on this topic are invited to explore...

Zechariah 13 is one of the most amazing chapters in the book of Zechariah. It includes an incredible parable about two Shepherds that almost nobody studies. In this episode we are going to jump right into it and discover the great truth it contains. Those wishing more on this topic are invited to explore the author's greater Gospel Feast Series available in hard copy or eReader. Ready for som...

It is a puzzlement to Jew and Gentile alike that the Lord continually mentions Ephraim in connection with the Latter-days. Ephraim is important because he was given the birthright of Israel (but not the royal house). So, how is this possible since we don't know where Ephraim is? Or do we? Those wishing more on this topic are invited to explore the author's greater Gospel Feast Series ava...
