What is Hebrew Perspectives

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).
