What
is Hebrew Perspectives?
Hebrew
Perspectives is a class that teaches about the roots of our Christianity.
Jesus
was a Jew.
The
disciples were Jews.
We
delve into the lives of the Jewish people to understand more.
The
importance is to be unified.
To
all be on the same page.
To
all be in one accord.
Moses
established the custom of reading from the Torah on the Sabbath.
The
yearly reading cycle that the Jews do to this day have it’s origins in the
Babylonian era.
The
Torah is divided into 54 sections or parshiyot in the Hebrew.
A
section is read each week.
At
the beginning of each week we post these scriptures for reading and study.
Throughout
the week commentary is made on that section.
Commentary
comes from many sources including Apostolic preachers and teachers and
Rabbinical teachers as well.
We
can learn from the 120 in the upper room.
They
were praying together and studying a section of Torah.
On
Pentecost they would have been reading from the Book of Ruth,
Ezekiel
Chapter 1 and Ezekiel 3, and Exodus chapter 19, the giving of the law on Mt.
Sinai.
At
Sinai they camped (singular , normally plural). They repented and did a 180.
Whatever
God wants us to do we will do. (They didn’t even know what it was).
They
sanctified themselves. Sanctify here is translated as baptism by immersion.
Then
they received the law.
Legend
has it through oral tradition that flames came from God to each Israelites
tongue for them to accept. (Tongues of fire).
