Hebrew Nation Online | Torah Teachers Round Table

This week the Torah teachers (mostly) complete the study of Ezekiel chapter 23, and what is arguably another of the most ‘politically-incorrect’ warnings in Scripture. The prophet, in what amounts to a ‘second witness’ of the metaphor from Jeremiah chapter 3, refers directly to YHVH as the husband of ‘two wives.’ And, again, the parallels […]

This week the Torah teachers embark on the study of the first part of Ezekiel chapter 23, and what is arguably another of the most ‘politically-incorrect’ warnings in Scripture. The prophet, in what amounts to a ‘second witness’ of the metaphor from Jeremiah chapter 3, refers directly to YHVH as the husband of ‘two wives.’ […]

The teachers complete the study of the Book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 22, and one of the most stark, even undeniable, sets of warning that are at least as applicable now as whey were even almost three millennia ago.

As I glanced at the Zoom chat box after our weekly classes, this week, I realized that not everyone was clear on why we fast on the Tenth of Tevet. While most of my weekly online students have been with me for several years, newer students missed the Four Fasts and the Torah portions in which we unpacked some reasons why they appear in Zechariah. It dawned on me…if they missed some of the Four Fas...

The Torah teachers finish the study of Ezekiel, chapter 21, and head in chapter 22. And, frequently, it seems that the most dire prophetic warnings should apply today, especially to a nation that has ‘forgotten God.’ But THESE are definitely in a class by themselves! Listen, and then compare the headlines…

The Torah teachers head into the Book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 21.

The Torah teachers wrap up the study of Ezekiel chapter 19, and proceed into 20, where one of the most important, and arguably UPCOMING, future events of interest is discussed: the Greater Exodus.

The Torah teachers begin the examination of Ezekiel chapter 19, and – among other things – see the reference to “defile My sabbaths.” And you can’t help but think there might be some irony in that…

The teachers discuss the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 18.

This week the teachers review Ezekiel chapter 17. And can the message be any more direct?

The Torah teachers complete the look at the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 16 this week. Which seems quite fitting, given the world today.

In chapter 16 of the Book of Ezekiel, the prophet is told to “cause her [meaning Israel, arguably both then AND now] to know her abominations.” That may be why this is such a long chapter…still.

The Torah teachers continue the study of the Book of the Prophet Ezekiel into chapter 14. Yes, the parallels with modern paganism certainly continue. But, perhaps most importantly, it becomes clear — if we “diligently seek Him” — that idols of “wood and stone,” and the false prophets and priests that worshiped them, are pikers […]

This week the Torah teachers start into the Book of the prophet Ezekiel, chapter 13. Would you believe he (and He) is AGAIN evidently talking to us? Especially when it comes to “false prophets”.

This week the Torah teachers explore the Book of Ezekiel, chapter 12, and into 13.

The Torah teachers continue the study of the Book of the prophet Ezekiel through chapter 10, and then 11.

The teachers examine one of the most striking stories in the Book of Ezekiel, in chapter 9, and the parallels continue. This is His Mark, that was applied to all of those who “sigh and cry” at the abominations being done…a mark that saves.

This week the Torah teachers hit the heart of one of the most undeniable, and even shocking – for those that just don’t understand how MUCH He hates paganism! – prophetic warnings in the whole Book. It was vitally important when Ezekiel first gave it, and, as the teachers will outline, arguably even more a […]

This week the Torah teachers tackle what may be one of the ‘meatiest’ – and even alarming, to those who don’t yet understand what Scripture REALLY says about His ‘hatred’ for idolatry – sections in the Book of Ezekiel, and perhaps even all of prophecy. Ezekiel chapter 8, and into chapter 9, describe the sequence […]

This week the Torah teachers complete the study of Ezekiel chapter 7 and move into one of the most dramatic, and shocking – for those who haven’t considered the context – warnings in all of prophecy.

The study of the Book of Ezekiel continues through chapter 6 and into chapter 7. Much like the Book of Exodus, a continuing theme is “then you shall KNOW,” ki ani YHVH. No, not that ‘my name is the Lord,” but His Real Name. And given that idolatry is also a major issue in this […]

The Torah teachers tackle Ezekiel chapter 5. And, if you think about inserting a lesson for, say, some Major Swamp City, in places where there is a warning for Jerusalem, since we are already IN exile, some of this might concern in another nation – and time – which has forgotten Him. Oops! The incorrect […]

The torah teachers continue the study of the Book of the prophet Ezekiel from chapter 3 into 4. No doubt about it there were – we are – and still are – a ‘rebellious house’.

The teachers wrap up the first chapter of the Book of Ezekiel, and continue the study. Elements of what the prophet relates sound very much like things repeated in ‘end-times’ prophecies, like Daniel and Revelation. And it sounds exactly like something that applies at least as much today as it ever did. NOTE: The audio […]

The Torah teachers have now started the in-depth study of the Book of Ezekiel, and chapter one. And there is certainly a lot of imagery.
