Emmaus Road Discipleship

This is for you who want to live in and participate in The Jesus Movement. Our reaction to His Suffering Love for us - His Cross - is the key to our success in this. Is it optional? Is it emotionalism? Watch and see how God has His way in our midst. Spoiler alert: You're either for Him or against Him. You either gather with Him, or you scatter

This video explains how what HE saw in HIS day became the foundation for the EXILE which happened 150 years later. It's all about the cross. And we see ourselves in the picture, too. This is very relevant to what it means to be a disciple of Jesus - to take up our crosses - as he did - and FOLLOW HIM. So this chapter is KEY to understanding the book of Isaiah

Here we get our first look at 'Immanuel' - God with us. It's not yet speaking just about Jesus - which used to disappoint me. Not any more! As each of us - and, hopefully, a team of disciples who, like you, are getting good at these concdpts - become more proficient, you really begin to enjoy how God 'unpacks' His deepest and richest truths for you. Jesus says, "To he who has, more will be given, but to he who has not - even what he thinks he has will be taken away." So take time to notice how YOU and YOUR SPIRITUAL FAMILY are leaving Churchianity to become HIS FOLLOWERS - searching HIM out, in scripture.

The first half of Isaiah 7 begins the drama of a major attack on Jesus - which happens as Syria and the northern kingdom of Israel attempt to conquer Judah and put a usurper on the throne. Then we learn the mystery of Shear Yashub ('a remnant will return') What is the meaning of all of this and how is Jesus revealed? How do we see him in his death and resurrection? These are the spiritual mysteries we cherish.

There's a hidden revelation in the first few verses of chapter 5 - very, very beautiful indeed. We will see, though, a totally different way of looking at the need for death and resurrection when we see things from the perspective of the community of the prophets - the only truly spiritual people in those times - along with a few who truly listened to them. How this really looks requires us to go back in time and see how things really were.

A THEOPHANY is . . . Well, a human cannot see God - or they would die. So every visible appearance of God, in in the Old Testament, is an appearance of Jesus in varying degrees of the glory He had with the Father in heaven before he was born. But, for us, the last verse of chapter 6 IS, as we promised - a powerful explanation of 'the seed'. The STUMP is PART A. Part B will be the BRANCH or SHOOT which sprouts from the stump of Jesse.

Wow! This chapter is about The City Of God - called The Branch. But wait! Isn't THE BRANCH a messianic title. Yes, it absolutely is - and in more than one book of the bible. So this shows one clear example of how Jesus totally identifies with us! Also, we die and are raised, "beautiful and glorious" IN HIM. We are one with Him. We are His Body in the earth

Chapter 3 exposes the 'City Of Man' - which is the opposite of what we saw at the end of chapter 1. There we saw the Jesus will govern The City Of God through spiritual leaders vs 'kings'. So we see Jesus as the opposite of what is exposed in chapter 3. We also see how each of us can be selfish - very self oriented. Women are objectified in the City Of Man.

We saw how God deals with the 'City Of Man'. In chapter 2 we get our first glorious look at 'The City Of God'. This is a picture of Jesus in His Resurrection. This will become clearer yet in chapter 4. So follow us to see how this is an Emmaus Road Truth Jesus teaches us.

The FIRST CHAPTER holds a hidden bombshell. It is detonated in chapter 6! One KEY PIECE OF INFORMATION is required, however, to get the full effect. There are times when the GREEK old testament translation holds a key piece of information - and this is definitely one of those times. You'll find out why the picture of Jerusalem as a 'hut in a melon patch' is hugely significant.

Has your love for your Lord driven you to seek Him out in the Old Testament? The book of Isaiah is PACKED with JESUS IMAGERY. The Emmaus Road experience - in which He walks with YOU and explains everything concerning Himself - is truly mind blowing in Isaiah. This introductory video explains how you can dive into the amazing spiritual mysteries He explores with us.

The bible shows us - plainly - what the Church should be. The apostolic church gives us all we need to know. Paul, as an apostle, clearly taught what our meetings should consist of. The Love Feast was the central event in the life of the church. So why do we ignore it and do it our way instead. The modern American church has failed. During covid we found out just how easy it will be for the state - or antichrist - to shut down the church - virtually at will. Nor have we reached the lost consistently as the USA becomes a post-Christian culture. Maybe our ways don't work as good as God's ways. Maybe we should make scripture our guide - rather than our own ideas and tradition.

Want to search Jesus out in the Old Testament? I'll give you clues, not answers. Good ones. But I'll send you down a good path you'll really enjoy. Sure, I give SOME chapter and verse. Mostly, however, we'll just trace the path the Apostle Paul followed. We get to walk that Emmaus Road and listen to Jesus. Why? You already seek Him out - zealously. This is just the next step for you. ENJOY!

Don't you wish you had a simple overview of bible history - a simple timeline - a simple map? And how about knowing some basic things like - what is a Hebrew? BTW. Do you know what a Hebrew is? Who was the first Hebrew. Not Abraham. He was called Abraham The Hebrew. So THEY knew what a Hebrew is. But we don't. Curious?

Rev 3:10 is a great gateway into amazing truth regarding the events of the end times and the return of Jesus. One key we are using is the riddle Jesus has there regarding the word 'Keep'. If YOU 'keep' THIS, I will 'keep' YOU from THAT. Isaiah 26 has very powerful parallels to Rev 3: 10 with this riddle in mind. Our zealous spiritual warrior students will really improve their skill in handling the Sword Of The Spirit by exploring this riddle and having these mysteries opened up to them

This is the introductory video to the playlist which focuses explicitly on Revelation 3:10 - since this verse is an excellent gateway into all the scriptural teaching on the Last Days. This playlist will pursue the amazing connections between this verse and the vast world of scriptural teaching on the end times.

Paul once taught all night long discussing the issues the Church would face, saying: "Through Many Tribulations we enter the Kingdom Of God". It was a red hot topic then and is a red hot topic to this day. This video is our introductory video to the entire topic. Expect multiple playlists on this topic. This is a fresh approach to the topic which throws out the typical debating points and positions and begins with a fresh perspective based on The Passover Principle. My exploratory research pointed in that direction. It gives a fresh perspective and this perspective caused multiple pieces of the puzzle to come together - since this is the worldview of Jesus and the Apostles.

The 2nd in the 3 Psalm series - where The Angel Of The Lord goes on offense! The battle plan was to - uh - lose - which was the only way to get the kind of win Love needs. This victory will lay the foundation for the culmination in Psalm 36. The bonus material is a description of 4 'keys' we can use to seek Jesus 'in mystery' in the Old Testament.

Psalms 34, 35 & 36 go together. Not only does Jesus show up - IN PERSON, in Psalms 34 & 35 - but Psalms 34 & 36 are united by a theme so beautiful that it defies description. Dive in and discover what that might be!

Psalm 33 is like a trumpet announcing that history is "His Story" - and that in the end GOD WINS. Get out your notepad, though - since you can learn a lot from this lesson. There are powerful principles for Disciples Of Jesus in this Psalm - as always!

There are HUGE surprises in the final era preceding the coming of Jesus. How is it, for example, that the Jews were finally free from all hint of idolatry? Why did God 'go silent' for four hundred years? How did this era lay the groundwork for the New Testament era? Last but not least, who was the greatest human in history - and why did Jesus identify him as such? Jump in to this and find out!

Now we see The Birth Of Our Nation - Israel - the nation into which we, as gentiles - are grafted so that we too are now citizens in Israel. Loaded with drama - from beginning to end - this is a riveting narrative of how our nation came to be! Men and women conquer world leaders - the women by their beauty - the men by God given power - or even overcoming evil with good - as Jesus did. What is the culminating struggle - in which Jesus Himself engages in a very personal way? Dive in and find out!

This overview of the Old Testament shows how Jesus fills the Old Testament as "mystery" just as the New Testament shows Jesus in "history". Our goal is to discover our roots - understand our heritage - and strengthen those who are radically committed to follow Jesus as His disciples. We hope to simplify the study of the Old Testament so that even those who are not good at studying 'history' can eagerly explore our family - our heritage - who we are.

This is an overview of the Old Testament - in which we see Jesus revealed in 'mystery' - just as we see Jesus revealed in 'history' in the New Testament. This is a simplification of the Old Testament so that any of us who have nothing to live for, in this world, other than the Lord and each other, can fuel the fires of of our zeal for the Lord by exploring our heritage and this Glorious Vision - a vision of Jesus Himself.
