MBM-UK - Weekly studies

This week we discuss the creation of the 70 nations from the sons of Noach, the Tower of Babel and the importance of understanding how we are not to be enslaved to a system that views humanity as a commodity to be traded.

This week we look at the sons of Noach. We discuss how entering into a new world would be like and what are the things that are brought from the old world into the new. We look at the cursing of Canaan and how the drunkeness of Noach, the offspring of Noach's sons all connect to Acts 2 and the day of Shavuot.

This week we discuss the end of the Deluge and the beginning of the renewed era of mankind through Noach. We discuss the importance of the covenant of the rainbow and how that has been used today to promote a movement that is one of the prime causes of the Deluge in the first instance. We also discuss how this moment in biblical history destroys many of the arguments being made today regarding the...

In this study we discuss the preconceptions that we might have because of our current day environment, and how that influences our understanding of the events around the Deluge. We also discuss the importance of why the time in the Ark is specified so exactly and how it impacts events in the future.

Our discussion this week looks at the beginning of the instruction to Noach to build the Ark. We discuss the principle that not all commandments make sense to us but they may be essential to our survival. Our purpose is obedience to the instruction so that the Creator's will is fulfilled. This is the first part of our discussions about the how the events of Noach impact our undertstanding of the t...

This week we discuss the reasons behind Cain's actions and how they impact the rest of his life and his lineage. We look at the contrast of Cain's lineage to the lineage of Seth and how would we react if in the same position as Cain.

This week we look at the story of Cain and Abel. We discuss how even though the commandments have not been codified as they were at Horeb, the actions of humanity are still subject to their rule as they are an inherent part of the nature of Adonai and all of His Creation.

This week we look at the spiritual importance of Shabbat, not just as a break in the week's proceedings, but discovering how it is root of spiritual clothing or nakedness. We compare the places where the "taking" of something that was forbidden is associated with Shabbat and how slavery and loss of privilege to enjoy the provision of GOD begins with this major event at the beginning of mankind's r...

If the Torah is the instruction manual showing how and how not to remain in relationship and blessing with the Father, then the mitzvot/commandments are the steppingstones toward sanctification. Our new series begins to look at the Mitzvot, the commandments as they are set out in each of the first five books of Torah following the 3 year Torah cycle. Maimonides sets out 613 commandments. As we wil...

In this episode that was recorded on the afternoon of Yom Kippur 2024/5785, we discuss how Yom Kippur and Pesach are connected. We also look at why the Yovel/Jubilee is declared at Yom KIppur and the connection that makes with what is known as the most solemn day on the Hebrew calendar and how we as Messianic believers approach the Fast.

In the final study of the series in the Trei Asar - the 12 Prophets, we look at the ministry of Elijah, John as Elijah and Elijah as one of the Two Witnesses in Revelation 11. We discuss the similarities and differences and what they speak of for us today regarding Israel, the believing communtiy, the church and the future prophetic events.

As we approach the end of our studies in Malachi and the 12 Prophets we look at chapter 3 and the mission of the messenger of Adonai as he precedes the arrival of Messiah and Messianic Kingdom.

This week we look at the second part of chapter 2. We discuss how verses 10-12 shed light on Genesis 38 and the importance of the principle of death to self each day and the resurrection life that comes after each hardship we encounter and that in doing so we cause the work of Messiah to become far more than just about eternal life in heaven after physical death on earth. We look at our role as pr...

We do a short recap on the previous and consider the 9th commandment in the context of the believing community and how it testifies regarding the nature and character of the Father and His Messiah, Torah and the world. We also discuss the mercy of the Father in the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples in order to prevent the Jewish leadership of its time leading the people into further idolatry....

In this study we discuss the opening verse looking at how the word propheccy has been misunderstood by the believing communities over and the implications of what an "acceptable sacrifce" is in the context of the Kohen, the believing communities and the nations.

We start our study of the last of the 12 Prophets with an overview of the writings. We discuss the opening verses that have caused controversy over time and look at the importance of the covenant that they refer to. We give a brief overview of the book of Malachi and how it moves backwards and forwards through time.

In the final part of our Zechariah study, we look at the climax of the prophet's words speaking of the Messianic age, the instruction to all nations to attend the Feast of Tabernacles and the correlation with events in history that give us insight to the events that will culminate in the establishment of the Throne of David in Jerusalem, particularly in light of current events.

This week we continue our study of Zechariah looking specifically at chapter 13 and in particular verses 6&7 and how they relate to the betrayal of Yeshua not just by Judas but by the Church community that does not accept the ongoing covenant made by GOD with Israel and its people.

This week we continue looking at Zechariah 12. We discuss how chapters 12, 13 and 14 are a complete unit and the connections with the season of Pesach and the book of Leviticus.

This week we begin to look at one of the most important prophecies about Israel, Jerusalem and the Messianic Kingdom. Our discussion begins with looking at the Torah Portion Tazria and then Zechariah. We discuss the need to understand symbols and the close association with Pesach in the prophecy. We also look at how chapters 12, 13 and 14 are all one part of the same declaration together.

This week we look at Zechariah chapter 11. We discuss the correlation of the events with those found in the gospels regarding the betrayal of Messiah Yeshua, his identity as the shepherd identified in Zechariah and how the events in Zechariah also point to the current events in Israel and the future outcome as the prophecy unfolds.

This week we conclude last week's study on Zechariah 10 but also discuss Purim in the gospels and connection of the book of Esther with the Messianic Kingdom

In this study we begin to look at the role of Messiah as the nation of Israel is restored and the Messianic Kingdom is established. We also discuss the Ruach HaKodesh and how the word and spirit must work in concert with each other to bring about the reality of the Messianic Kingdom in this world and the world to come.

This week we conclude chapter 9 of Zechariah. We discuss the nature of the prophecy through time and how there are still events that need to complete the words that have been recorded in the 12 prophets. We also discuss the description of the triumphal entry of Messiah into Jerusalem and the continuing hope that remains for the completion of Messiah's mission. We look at how current events are ass...

This week we begin to look Zechariah 9, specifically verse 1 and we see the continuing narrative regarding the restoration of Jerusalem, Israel and establishing of the Kingdom of Messiah. We discuss the connection of this verse to the vision of Paul on the Damscus road and how it ties in with Zechariah 9 and Amos 3.
