Hebrew Nation Online | Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio – Avi Ben Mordechai

With today’s program, let’s begin with the arresting officers of the Judean High Court recorded in John 18:12 – Then the detachment [of troops] and the captain and the officers of the Judeans arrested Yeshua and bound him. Those who were sent to apprehend Yeshua in the Garden of the Mount of Olives were officers […]

Let’s begin with Matthew 26:30.  “And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.” We must ask the question, Why did Yeshua go out to Har HaZeitim, that is, the Mount of Olives? And on leaving the guest room late on Passover, what song did they sing on their way […]

Let us read from Matthew 26:20-23 (and also John 13:26). When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. Now, as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Master, is it I?” He […]

The four-gospel accounts of Yeshua’s crucifixion and third-day resurrection do not seem to flow chronologically as we might like them to. Collectively, the gospel narratives inform us of the events of his last week in a rather disjointed and, in some cases, totally confusing way. Often, as we try to follow the events and make […]

The four-gospel accounts of Yeshua’s crucifixion and third-day resurrection do not seem to flow chronologically as we might like them to. Collectively, the four gospel narratives appear moderately disjointed and, in some cases, totally confusing! Suppose you have done any detailed comparison readings of the chronology of Yeshua’s final Passover week, as many biblical scholars […]

The four-gospel accounts of Yeshua’s crucifixion and third-day resurrection do not seem to flow as smoothly as we might like them to. Collectively, the four gospel narratives appear moderately disjointed and, in some cases, downright confusing!

The Hebrew word chesed is most often understood and translated to mean “mercy.”  But chesed does not carry this meaning in biblical Hebrew.  Any respectable scholar of the Hebrew language will tell you the word’s true meaning. Academic respectability put aside, ancient paleographic or pictographic Hebrew accurately defines chesed for us: fidelity, faithfulness, and covenant loyalty. Within [...

On today’s episode of Real Israel Talk Radio, I will seek to unravel Yeshua’s lessons on loyalty. This is program Episode 109 and Part 13 on the Qumran Dead Sea Scrolls. I will speak on their link to the New Covenant story of the Pharisees and their accusations against Yeshua and his disciples about Sabbath […]

As you likely know, the annual 50-Day and 7-Sabbaths Count of the Omer is one of many controversial issues between those who observe the traditional rabbinic Jewish calendar and those who observe any one of several other counting traditions. The point that I am going to make on this program today is that Sha’ul and […]

Today, we will look at the testimony of Sha’ul or Paul and his spiritual transformation on the road to Damascus from a rabbinical student of Gamaliel to a Sent One of Mashiach Yeshua and the House of Tzadok. In the Book of Acts chapters 9 and 22, Sha’ul or Paul was sure of what he […]

What does Damascus have to do with the desert wilderness of Qumran on the northwest shores of the Dead Sea? Damascus in Genesis 14:15  is more than just an ancient city in the Land of Aram (“Syria”). In the previous episode in this Dead Sea Scrolls series, I presented one possible reason why the infamous […]

The House of Tzadok biblical priesthood referred to Qumran as Damesek or Damascus. Meanwhile, Paul traveled to Damascus for Jerusalem’s illegitimate authorities. He came to arrest many in Yeshua known as “The Way,” charging them for rebellion against Jerusalem’s authority. En route, he had an audio-visual experience to change his life and theology forever. Of […]

About 20 centuries ago, hundreds of documents from a written library of scrolls were carefully placed into clay jars and deposited for safe-keeping into many of the western caves of Israel’s Dead Sea region. The area is called the Qumran. Between 1947 and 1956, the scrolls’ discovery has captured the attention of numerous academics, religious […]

Welcome to Real Israel Talk Radio Episode 96. I reckon everyone has a life story to tell. But not everyone has a life story to tell about being an 88-year-old veteran post-WWII and Vietnam veteran soldier of the U.S. American Army.

Paul closes his thoughts on Love in 1 Corinthians 13. In speaking about Love, Paul tells us that there are two preceding components: Faith and Hope. And then he boldly declares that the greatest of these is Love.  How are we supposed to understand this idea with its Hebraic foundation? What does it mean? With […]
