Hebrew Nation Online | Image Bearers Radio with Joe Aymond

Of course we all know the grand stories of father Abraham, but have you ever asked yourself, “Why Abram?” As we read the Biblical narrative, we know that we are expecting a seed that will undo what was done in Gan Eden and restore us to the Ets Chaim. Out of the chaos of the […]

Moving on from Noah and the Flood, we find ourselves at an obscure story…the Tower of Babel. There is much speculation surrounding languages, ethnicities, and races that all stem from wrestling with the Tower of Babel story. Is there something else here? Why is this story here? What can we see from our re-reading of […]

In this week’s episode, we continue our walk through the flood narrative and the story of Noah. Noah’s story is full of Eden imagery, including chaotic water, trees, mountain tops, and priestly functions. The Flood narrative is not a story of cosmic destruction by the hands of a blood thirsty God. Rather, it is the […]

In this episode, we are going to look at the story of Noah. Since Adam & Chavah’s exile from the garden, Chavah was promised a seed that would crush the serpent’s head, bringing restoration of mankind back to the Garden. As we look at Noah’s story in a different light, we begin to see the […]

This week, Kyle and Joe wrap up their three week discussion on the theme of exile and hope in the Biblical narrative. We are devoting this episode to exile language in the Gospels. Over the last couple of weeks, we have developed an “exile vocabulary” that will enable to read the words of Yeshua Messiah […]

In last week’s episode, Kyle Sylvest and I dove into the topic of exile as a theme in Scripture. We established a basic exile vocabulary that can help us to read the Bible better. In this week’s episode, Kyle joins me again and we look at how this exile language is can be seen in […]

In the last couple of episodes, we have begun to dig into the theme of exile in Scripture. For the next three weeks, I have the privilege of having my good friend, Kyle Sylvest with me as we further discuss what exile looks like and why it’s important to the Biblical narrative.

When thinking through the main ideas and themes of Scripture, most don’t consider the theme of exile as a major Biblical idea. However, beginning in Genesis, woven through the whole of the Hebrew Bible, and throughout the New Testament, the theme of exile can be seen as the lens through which the Scriptures were written […]

As we continue our journey through the beginning chapters of Genesis, we come to the climax of the Garden narrative. Adam and Eve are banished from the Tree of Life and sent away as a result of their disobedience and disloyalty to HaShem’s instructions. Today, we’re going to begin looking at the over-arching theme of […]

Shalom everyone. In this episode, we continue our walk through the first few chapters of Genesis by picking up where we left off in last week’s discussion. Genesis 2 & 3 provide some interesting reading in the form of a talking snake, trees, and some sort of forbidden fruit. Are we expected to read this […]

As we move through the first few chapters of Genesis, we find ourselves suddenly confronted with “the serpent” in chapter 3. The serpent has no introduction or back story, it simply shows up. Although there are many opinions as to who or what the serpent was, we may find it profitable to ask what the […]

In Genesis 2, God plants a garden, places the man (Adam) in the garden, and gives Adam a specific function as it relates to the garden. What exactly is the image of the Garden? How are we to understand Adam and his function in this Garden? In this episode, we begin to look at the […]

What is the message of Genesis 2 and the creation of Adam? Is the creation of Adam & Chavah a re-telling of Day 6 of Creation? Were Adam & Chavah the first human beings? In this episode, we will begin to talk through some of these questions and propose some unique but fitting explanations for […]

Many times, maybe even most of the time, we see the Creation of Genesis 1 referred to as the “six days of Creation”. In this episode, we will explore the massive trouble and error with seeing the Creation narrative this way. We will propose that if we view the point of Genesis 1 as the […]

Welcome back to IBR. We certainly hope you are enjoying the show so far because we are only getting started. In this episode, we will walk through the first 6 days of creation to see just what is being communicated. We will also see how all of the wonder creation is being attributed to the […]

This week we look at Genesis 1 from a perspective that may be completely foreign, that is, as poetic narrative. When we look at Genesis 1 as simply a “lab report” of how the world was physically created, we see but a small and insignificant portion of the bigger story that God is telling.

In this episode of IBR, we have a conversation about how Greeks (Westerners) & Hebrews (Easterners) think about the world differently. This is an invaluable study as it drastically changes the way we process Scripture as a whole and Genesis in particular. Many of the troubles we have with interpreting Scripture comes from the way […]

Shalom and welcome to Image Bearers Radio! In this first episode, we talk about the importance of knowing the teachers that we follow. In that spirit, I want to tell you about who I am, my background, and how God has led me to this journey of pursuing Torah through Yeshua. I’ll also tell you […]
