MBM-UK - Weekly studies

This week we look Amos 6. This is not the recording of the Friday evening study. We discuss some of the verses in Amos 5 and the continuing impact of the idolatry of Israel and what it is rooted in. We also discuss how these issues affect us today.

This week we discuss the similarities of the present day "church" and the kingdom of Israel in the form of the 10 northern tribes. We discuss the misinterpretation of Amos and how it has fuelled replacement theology and supercessionism and ulitmately anti-semitism. We also look at similarities of this message with the letter to the congregation of Laodicea.

This week we examine chapter 4 and discuss the feminine nature of Israel as the wife of HaShem and what this teaches us.

This week we discuss how the Amos's words are directed at the whole of Israel and the principle of cause and effect, not just in the time of Amos for us in the world today. We discuss the principles that underlie apostasy and replacement theology and how they permeate the believing community and the world today.

This week we look at the judgments over Judah and Israel. We discuss the relationship of these passages with Mark 12 in the gospels and how they relate to Judah and Joseph

This week we begin to look at the nations that Amos is speaking to. We discuss the reasons behind the judgments and how they apply to some of the current affairs we see today.

This week we begin our study of the prophet Amos. We discuss how he differs from the prophets Hosea and Joel; who his message is directed and how it applies to us today.

In our final study of Joel we discuss how we interpret time when reading biblical prophecy and how this impacts understanding the difference between the battle of Har Meggido and the final judgement in the Valley of Jehoshophat

This week we look at the final part of Joel 2 which is quoted by the apostle Peter in Acts 2. We consider why this is a separate chapter in Tanach and ask why Peter quotes this scripture.

This week we look at the references to early and late rain and their prophetic relevance to the Messiah revealing His character role. We also discover how some of the writings in Talmud confirm the fulfillment of this in the character of Yeshua of Nazareth.

This week we continue to look at Joel 2 and specifically the message behind the message in the context of Jeremiah 8. You'll need the notes from www.mbmukfamily.com in the podcasts section.

This week we discuss the opening verses of Joel 2. We discuss the purpose of blowing the shofar and how these verses resonate and echo from the giving of the Torah at Sinai, through the days of Shavuot in the Apostolic writings and to the end of the age in the apocalypse of John.

What is the Long Sabbath and how does it connect to Passover and us. We look at the association with the priesthood and the book of Hebrews and discover how we are in Shabbat HaGadol now.

This week we look at how these passages help us to understand why there is such devastation and how this relates to the Year of Jubilee

This week we begin to look at the message of Joel and the warning of the coming devastation of the locusts. We look at how these can portray times in our own lives and what the remedy can be. We also consider the positive nature of the locust swarm - yes there is a positive!!!

As we start our study of the prophet Joel, we take time to overview how Joel fits into the books of the 12 prophets. We talk about the purpose of the prophecy and how it moves beyond the expectation of Israel and the Church from the time of Noah.

In our final study we see how the prophecy of Hoshea is not just a call for return to GOD to Israel, we see how there are representations of the nations that reveal the future events are also a call to all of humankind through the events of the latter days.

This week we continue through the final chapters of Hoshea. We consider how Israel's origin story instructs them on how far they have moved away from their true purpose and the resulting diminishment. We also consider the faithfulness of G-D in His fulfillment of purpose despite our failings.

This week we discuss chapter 13 of Hoshea. We discess how we diminish ourselves and our purpose when we follow the non-gods. We also look carefully at the hidden message of what it is to prevail over adversity, what happens when we choose not to and see how these verses explain the response that Messiah gives to Nathaniel when He meets him

This week's discussion centres around the ultimate redemption of Israel and the difficulties that they have faced throughout history which will ultimately result in their redemption and restoration. We speak about how that effects the presently landscape of geopolitics and particularly the current state of the United States.

This week's discussion is based around Hoshea 10. We discuss the principles of prophecy and how they are applied to understanding the word of Hashem and it applies to the times we are in today.

This week we cover chapters 8 & 9 of Hoshea. We look at the imminency of the exile that is about to take place and how the circumstances of it can be applied to someof the things that we see happening today.

This week look at chapter 7 and discuss the symbolic language that is used by G-D to Hoshea and how this is connected to the imprisonment of Joseph and the dreams he interprets. We also consider how some of the verses describe events we see today and the impact that they have upon leaders and the people.

This week we conclude Hoshea 6. We look at the error of Levi and Simeon in Genesis 34 and how the priestly role can be twisted to become self-serving in today's context..

This week we look at the opening verses of Hoshea 6 and discuss the significance of the reference to the third day in light of sacrifices, resurrection and the impact of corrupt systems upon our lives and the Nation of Israel
