How to: Messianic

Posted on July 20, 2015 by Pete Rambo

I have been working on a page to add to the top bar titled ‘How to: Messianic.’ It is not yet complete, but I thought it far enough along to unveil for a little feedback.

The idea is a simple overview page that does not complicate, but displays simply the basics for those who may be looking or trying to understand the Messianic/Hebrew roots lifestyle. I also want it to expose some of the potential pitfalls that new families on this journey sometimes encounter.

Please poke around over there and then leave a note or two here if you see glaring errors of have a thought or two.

Thank you for your help!

Angel of the Lord Study Guide

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Pete Rambo

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of good conversation with a friend who is fairly new in the Messianic. He related that he will be teaching Sunday school class for a couple weeks in the near future and I offered that a subject that fascinates Christendom and opens doors is ‘The Angel of the Lord.’

I really thought I had a study sheet already put together, but I can’t find it, or imagined it… Anyway, I found my chicken scratch notes and was just going to photo them and email him the pics when I thought I’d type them up for posterity sake and leave hem on the blog for anyone who might want some ~~good~~ sparse notes for a Bible study or Sunday school class. There is enough material on these two pages to spend 2-4 weeks studying/discussing/elaborating. So, here the notes are in two formats! Use, copy, share, forward, etc…

‘Signs in the heavens’ continue to dazzle…

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Pete Rambo

A couple weeks ago I blogged about current signs in the heavens and the brilliant testimony to our King! In the first article, I linked to an excellent article by Dr. Dale Sides about the conjunction of Venus and Jupiter and possible significance. Well, he has another excellent article with still more details as he considers the fact that we have a TRIPLE conjunction with other events occurring simultaneously that all are probable Messianic announcements!

I recommend you go read his article titled Triple Conjunctions of Venus and Jupiter – July 1, August 4, and October 25, 2015. One of the important subtexts going on in his article that I equally enjoyed was his reference to “Yeshua haMashiach’ and “Yahweh,” as well as a comment on the pagan names of planets hung by a Hebrew Creator!

Enjoy, and continue to watch the sky and the many signs in the world around us. We are in very rare air!!

Baruch haba b’shem Yehovah!!

Steps Toward Unity (and community…)

Posted on July 19, 2015 by Pete Rambo

Recently, I have been distracted from regular posting by a couple books and a major page I am writing titled How to: Messianic. (Watch for it…)

Anyway, two items of interest have come across my vision in the last hour that I wanted to share because both are ‘action steps’ toward unity in the Body and are building blocks toward community.

First, my second and third sons just came back from an awesome week at Camp Yeshua. A friend shared a video with us giving a taste of what the week was like. As I watched, it

occurred to me that 375 Messianic teens from all over the country building relationships and tearing down some of the division in the Body is a terrific step in the right direction! I know my second son has Continue reading →

“The Angel who redeemed me….”

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Pete Rambo

Currently, I am juggling three books, two of which are Stephen Spykerman’s Christians and Jews; The Two Faces of Israel and Asher Intrater’s Who Ate Lunch With Abraham?. Judging from the high ratings on Amazon, I am not the only person who is really enjoying these.

Intrater’s book primarily deals with digging deeper into the “appearances of God in the form of a Man in the Hebrew Scriptures,” a subject that has fascinated me as I have studied the Angel of the Lord appearances. Spykerman’s book explores the place of parts of Christendom among Ephraim/the House of Israel. Where the two books suddenly came together was on page 100 of Spykerman’s offer when he quotes Genesis 48:14-16,

¹⁴But Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on the head of Ephraim, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, ^[a]crossing his hands, ^[b]although Manasseh was the firstborn. ¹⁵He blessed Joseph, and said,

“Must have” Calendar…

Posted on July 17, 2015 by Pete Rambo

Yesterday, my recent order of another ten copies of Christianity Reconsidered, by Warren Bowles, came in from Lion and Lamb Ministries. I had a surprise in the box seeing as how I forgot that when I placed the order I impulsively grabbed their September 2015 to December 2016 Messianic Calendar! So glad I did!!

Last night I had a chance to flip through it and got really excited. It is totally packed with information, visual clues/reminders and all Torah Portion information! Here are several pics of the calendar portion: Continue reading →

Happy Rosh Chodesh (New Moon)

Posted on July 15, 2015 by Pete Rambo

I had a really short conversation today with someone about Rosh Chodesh (‘ch’ pronounced as a ‘k’ like in Bach), the new moon festival. Later, I thought it would be a good idea to post a brief overview for the benefit of those learning the basics of what Scripture teaches.

Personally, I had no idea that Scripture has so many special feasts and occasions! When Father convicted us of the pagan roots of Christmas and the fact that it is nowhere found in Scripture, we thought we’d lost a lot. (Parts of my story and details here, here and here.) Only after we began investigating did we discover that our Father has SEVEN great feasts, two lesser/minor festivals and 12-13 new moon feasts each year!! Wowzers! Talk about a lot! (We traded two Christian ‘holy days’ for

One of the simplest of the feasts is the monthly New Moon festival.

Briefly, Genesis 1:14 tells us Continue reading →

Additions to Torah Portions and A-T Images

Posted on July 14, 2015 by Pete Rambo

I just posted two more of Ray Gardner’s excellent Torah portions on his page. Also, I just posted another five or six Aleph-Tav Images rounding out the Deuteronomy images I have. I hope both the portions and the images will be a blessing to you!

Selective Scripture Reading…

Posted on July 13, 2015 by Pete Rambo

In the wake of the SCOTUS ruling on gay marriage an interesting inconsistency in Christian doctrine has been highlighted. Scripture calls many things an ‘abomination,’ but historically the Church has ignored one while dutifully condemning most others. Now, homosexuals legitimately smell something fishy!!

http://bible.com/1/lev.11.10.KJV

Multiple times in Scripture, maybe more times than various sexual sins, we are commanded to ‘touch not the unclean thing‘ lest in the day of the Lord we be judged with ‘fire and sword.’ But, like a pig in poop, Christianity is perfectly content partaking of the foods called an ‘abomination.’ Continue reading →

Louis Farrakhan and I agree!? WOW!!!

Posted on July 12, 2015 by Pete Rambo

Here is a clip of Louis Farrakhan that I can’t find anything I disagree with…. The amazing thing is that Farrakhan is more correct and righteous in this video clip than a majority of professing ‘Christians.’ Even more interesting, this clip is more relevant today than it was three years ago when it was posted.

First, a side note: Scripture declares homosexuality is an ‘abomination.’ Scripture also declares that eating unclean is an ‘abomination.’ If the Church calls one an abomination, but not the other, they have just made themselves judges over the Word of God and made themselves irrelevant because their Standard ceases to be Yehovah’s Word and is now man’s cherry-picked position. Selah…

The BIG Letdow… er, Announcement

Posted on July 12, 2015 by Pete Rambo

The Temple Institute has made their announcement after a major buildup, and it wasn’t so big…. My warning, concerning the eventual building of an altar, stands but does not apply here.

So, here are the details of the announcement:

And Now for the BIG ANNOUNCEMENT

I very much agree with Peter Vest’s short comments on this post: The 10th Red Heifer: Understanding the Significance of the Red Heifer to the Rabbis of the Temple Institute

Bottom-line: This is a major letdown and, like my son said, “This will cause the next buildup to receive little attention, ‘crying wolf’ as it were.”
