Holy Scriptures and Israel

Continuing his study in the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam examines Romans 7:14–25. In this deeply personal passage, the Apostle Paul describes the intense inner conflict that every born-again believer experiences. This is not the struggle of an unregenerate person, but the lament of a child of God who delights in God's Law yet finds himself warring against the sin that...

Continuing his study in the book of the prophet Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the first of eight prophetic night visions, focusing on Zechariah 1:7–13. In this vision, Zechariah sees a man on a red horse standing among myrtle trees, which Gideon explains represent the Gentile nations who are "at ease." He identifies this central figure as the Angel of the LORD (מַלְאַךְ יְ...

Continuing his study in the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam explores one of the great encouragements for the believer’s endurance: the assurance of God’s love demonstrated through His fatherly discipline. Gideon explains from Hebrews 12:5–13 that the trials and chastening we experience are not a sign of God’s anger, but proof of our legitimate sonship. As our loving Abba F...

From Romans 7:7-13, Brother Gideon Levytam addresses the crucial question, “Is the law sin?” He affirms that the Torah (Law) is holy, just, and good. Its purpose is not to save but to reveal the deadly nature of sin. The commandment stands as God’s perfect standard—bringing the knowledge of sin, awakening our sinful nature, and pronouncing a just sentence. This lesson shows how the Torah exposes s...

Continuing his study of Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), Brother Gideon Levytam delves into the LORD's powerful summons to the returned remnant of Judah. He begins with God's solemn declaration of displeasure with their forefathers, whose disobedience led to the exile. This sets the stage for the gracious invitation at the heart of the message: "Turn ye unto me... and I will return unto you." Gideon emphasi...

Continuing his verse-by-verse study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the exhortation for believers to run with patience the race that is set before us. Building upon the powerful examples of the "great cloud of witnesses" from chapter 11, the author encourages the Hebrew believers to lay aside every weight and the sin of unbelief which so easily entangles us...

Building on the theme of the believer's new relationship with the Torah, Brother Gideon Levytam provides a detailed explanation of Sha'ul's (Paul's) powerful marriage analogy. Just as a wife is legally freed from the law of her husband upon his death, our death with Yeshua the Messiah delivers us from the "oldness of the letter"—a state where the Law, interacting with our flesh, could only produce...

Brother Gideon Levytam begins a new study in the book of the prophet Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), whose name means 'The LORD Remembers.' This prophetic book was given to the remnant of Israel who had returned to the land from the Babylonian exile. Gideon lays the historical foundation, explaining that the people were discouraged and their spiritual fervor was declining. The Lord’s message through Zechar...
