MBM-UK - Weekly studies

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.

This week we return to the book of Zechariah and start to look at chapter 8. This is a turning point in the book as it looks to a future that speaks of the establishment of the rule of Messiah in Jerusalem. We look at the opening verses describing how HaShem speaks about His favour returning to the Land, the people and Jerusalem as the seat of the throne of David. We look at how these events have...

This week we look specifically at Zechariah 7:12. We discuss the importance of this verse for today's believing community and the lesson it needs to learn from the history of the exiles. We also look at how the word Torah is the "implanted word" spoken of in the book of James and its hidden meaning speaking of Messiah Yeshua, the Father and the Spirit of GOD.

In this study we look at chapter 8 of Zechariah. We discuss how the dating of visions in scripture corresponds with the Torah portion and its content in giving a framework to understand the content and context of the vision itself. This next series of visions corresponds with the Torah portion Toldot/Generations.

This week we look at the vision of the four chariots, the final vision given to Zechariah on the 24th of Shebat. We discuss the consistency of idiom that is carried through bible prophecy and the hope that we see in the events that are still to unfold.

This is a short piece about a few verses in Romans 11 that need to be understood in light of the present world view of Israel. Hopefully a stepping off point for further study!

This week we explore the 5th chapter of Zechariah and the 3 strands of the revelation shown to him. We discuss how the nations come under scrutiny and the influence of commerce in the world that leads to the pagan system tracking back to the days of Babel. We also discuss the difference between Israel and the Gentile nations regarding the revelation and acceptance of Messiah Yeshua in parallel to...

This week we study Zechariah chapter 4, the vision of the Menorah. We discuss how this is a continuing vision on the 24th of Shevat and the contrast between the night that Zechariah first sees compared to the light of the Menorah. We also discuss the parallels of Messiah Yeshua with Zerubbabel and he prefigures the arrival of Yeshua as the foundation stone of the Temple made without hands that wil...

This week we look at the vision of Joshua the Kohen Gadol. We discuss the importance of the framework of Torah as a legal document for both GOD and Man and the consistency of the vision as a continuation of the previous narratives.

As we conclude chapter 2 of our study we look at how the vision of Zechariah describes a time when the nations who come against Israel will be dealt with when the Messianic Kingdom is established in Jerusalem. We also look at the parallel descriptions in Ezekiel, Zechariah and Revelation

As we look at the next vision of Zechariah we discuss the correlations with the accounts recorded in Daniel and Revelation. We recap on the vision of the horses in the first vision and discuss the vision of the four horns and the four craftsmen.

This week we look in more detail at the first vision of Zechariah. We discuss the connection of the month of Shevat, its place in the vision, its multiple meanings and how they open up an understanding of Israel's role in the world and the importance of the Giving of the Torah as the frame upon which the world is built and how the judicial system of heaven has to be understood.

This week we begin our study of the prophet Zechariah. Zechariah starts in the hebrew month of Cheshvan, the eighth and and the month that we begin our study.

In our final study of Haggai, we review the previous week and look a the importance of the Zerubbabel as a picture of Messiah. We discuss why there are two prophecies on the same day and how these may correspond to Messiah's role as servant and king. We look at the passgae in Luke 8 again and how this correlates to Haggai.
