Torie's Tea Time Talk with God

In this video we do a historic timeline of the Book of Maccabee and look at how we can honor the tradition of Hanukkah as believer's living today. Historic timeline 198 BCE: Armies of the Seleucid King Antiochus III (Antiochus the Great) oust Ptolemy V from Judea and Samaria. 175 BCE: Antiochus IV (Epiphanes) ascends the Seleucid throne. 168 BCE: Under the reign of Antiochus IV, the Temple is looted, Jews are massacred, and Judaism is outlawed. 167 BCE: Antiochus orders an altar to Zeus erected in the Temple. Mattathias, and his five sons John, Simon, Eleazar, Jonathan, and Judah lead a rebellion against Antiochus. Judah becomes known as Judah Maccabe (Judah The Hammer). 166 BCE: Mattathias dies, and Judah takes his place as leader. The Hasmonean Jewish Kingdom begins; It lasts until 63 BCE 165 BCE: The Jewish revolt against the Seleucid monarchy is successful. The Temple is liberated and rededicated (Hanukkah). 142 BCE: Establishment of the Second Jewish Commonwealth. The Seleucids recognize Jewish autonomy. The Seleucid kings have a formal overlordship, which the Hasmoneans acknowledged. This inaugurates a period of great geographical expansion, population growth, and religious, cultural and social development. 139 BCE: The Roman Senate recognizes Jewish autonomy. 131 BCE: Antiochus VII dies. The Hasmonean Jewish Kingdom throws off Syrian rule completely 130 BCE: Antiochus VII besieges Jerusalem, but withdraws. 96 BCE: An eight year civil war begins. 83 BCE: Consolidation of the Kingdom in territory east of the Jordan River. 63 BCE: The Hasmonean Jewish Kingdom comes to an end because of rivalry between the brothers Aristobulus II and Hyrcanus II, both of whom appeal to the Roman Republic to intervene and settle the power struggle on their behalf. The Roman general Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus (Pompey the Great) is dispatched to the area. 12 thousand Jews are massacred as Romans enter Jerusalem. The Priests of the Temple are struck down at the Altar.

We are continuing our study of what Ye'Shua did during the Feast of Hanukkah. We are focusing on John 9:33 - John 10:22 and revealing what it means to feast on the light of Ye'Shua and how to address and what we should expect as bearers of the light of truth. We confirm that the events of John 8 - 10 takes us into the thematic challenges that Ye'Shua had to face in His ministry and it is important that we reflect ourselves as to which camp we are currently in and endeavor to be found in the camp of God's dear son. It is a piercing revelation to say the least but one that is essential for us to walk through so that we don't find ourselves somewhere we don't want to be in the end.

Today we continue shedding the light of truth by reading what Ye'Shua did during the time of Hanukkah, from John 8:36 to John 9:32. We see the connection between light and truth, and we discover that the seed of Abraham is connected to those who embrace truth and appreciate it, and the seed of the devil is represented by those who seek to discard truth and particularly those who choose to spread it. It is imperative however, for us when we come into the knowledge of truth to be courageous enough to walk in it even when the world chooses not to embrace it.

WWYD for Hanukkah? Let's start the conversation with what He did for Hanukkah. In this session we start at John 8 and we take a closer look at what Ye'Shua was doing during this time and how we can and should dedicate our lives to the Most High.

So what is Hanukkah? Should I as a believer in Ye'Shua (Jesus) be celebrating a "Jewish" feast? In this session we will discuss what Hanukkah means and begin the discussion concerning Ye'Shua and how early believers in Him kept this feast. I share why we as believer's should celebrate this holiday. I provide the Jeremiah challenge for all listeners and for those of you who would like to know more about this holiday and why the book that reveals the significance of this holiday should be read. Here is a link to look at some past articles I wrote a while back on Hanukkah. https://transformationlifestyle.wordpress.com/?s=Hanukkah

In this episode I try to clarify what we are looking at in both Old and New Testament concerning these two separate events. We look at the Ancient Hebrew characters of Strong's #H639 and we then go into narrowing down the search of the various words translated into "wrath" in English to find the Hebrew word that gives us the contextual understanding of the "wrath" associated with the book of Revelation that will be poured out on those who do not repent and return to God. We uncover the strong delusion and why and to whom it will impact. As always what I share is intended to be teaching tools on how one can study scripture, that can apply to any study of the word.

In this episode we look at the Greek word for Tribulation and we begin the study on the word wrath in the Hebrew. We look at its first mention in scripture, we learn how to put all these tools together from the old to the new and we begin the path to study out terms used in the Bible to insure we are making the right connections between the Hebrew and the Greek.

In this episode we continue to shed light on the scripture to understand why the tribulation will occur and the course of events that will happen leading up to the rapture of the Church. We continue to share what the meaning of the word tribulation is in Greek and connect that to its Hebrew roots. Understanding the events of the tribulation and who the focal point of that tribulation is critical in these last days. Remembering that these events were written to believers so that we would not be caught by surprise.

We continue the discussion here on day 5 and looking at the Strong's #H6862 for the word tribulation in the Old Testament, then we connect our understanding from the Old to the Gospel's in the Gospel's use of the word tribulation in the book of Matthews. While we have only scratched the surface concerning what the Lord would have us see the connections between the Gospel's, the Old Testament, and the book of Revelation is astounding. You will not want to miss how we build on this foundation and for sure you will want to be tribulation ready no matter where you stand on the topic. Uncovering the elephant in the tribulation room is not only important but timely.

In this episode we cover the three occurrences of the English word "tribulation" in the Old Testament. We discover that the three times it appears in English doesn't cover the entirety of the Hebrew word that is represented. So we begin to search the Strong's number and acquire the nuggets available to those who diligently seek the Lord for truth. We are building a firm foundation for understanding what Tribulation is, who it is that causes it upon humanity, and what its purpose is in our lives. All of which is key to understanding when we can expect these events to take place in reality and where we as believers who look forward to His glorious appearing can expect to be caught up with Him.

The most important question to answer concerning the tribulation is Why? In this episode we touch on the reason why we as followers are being required to go through tribulation. We look at the primary example we see that we as believers are called to follow which is Ye'Shua. We then look at what it was Ye'shua's tribulation was connected to in the old testament scripture since this is the only script HE would have had when He walked the earth, and as He pointed out, he came to fulfill the law, prophets, and other writings. So the question you should be asking now is will the bride be exempt from that which the bridegroom had to endure? These teachings are very important to consider and to follow so that we don't find ourselves subject to the Great Deception that will take place, after all we have already been told that, that day should not take us unawares as it will the rest of the world.

Post-Trib, Pre-trib, Pre-Wrath, this has been the ongoing debate amongst scholars, but does the bible give us some patterns that help unveil the truth? Are we appropriately identifying those patterns. In today's Tea time talk we begin the discussion on the biblical patterns concerning these last days events and tie them into Day 5. We begin the study on the actual word tribulation and with God's help you will be empowered to continue the study so that you can have a firm foundation in your understanding of in our time events.

In Part II we introduce the next category of animal created on Day 5 and how that animal overcomes the adversary's menu. Ye'Shua told us in this life we will have tribulation but be of good cheer. Why? Because he has overcome the world. (John 16:33) Indeed we are given the keys to overcoming the enemy and the life of our Savior is the example that was presented for us to face theses challenges. In this two possibly three part series we will uncover the powerful picture Messiah provides us for addressing the tribulations that the enemy will bring.

We have been preparing on Day four for this very moment that impacts all of us, and that is the day that we would get our chance to discover whether or not we would fall for the Eve trap and eat of the forbidden fruit that leads to death. This test Ye'Shua experienced and passed in his temptation in the wilderness, but make no mistake just because he passed it doesn't mean we don't experience it. Day 5 God shows us how to defeat the enemy, and Ye'Shua shows us the practical application of what it means to walk in the Spirit, so we do not fulfill the lust of the flesh. Today, we uncover the two categories of animals that God created on this day and reveal how the Eagle reflects this for us. We also provide a summation of Day four and in our next episode we will discuss how to overcome tribulation, so you won't want to miss this. In this video I touch on my travel experience. We have traveled extensively and I have a blog where I post articles that assist people in traveling, share my reviews of places we have been, and show people how to travel economically, what they can expect through the process, and what you should carry to stay well. This website is www.thecritiquetravel.wordpress.com. Be sure to join so that you will be made aware of any updates.

We have finally come to a close of Day four leadership and what it should look like according to scripture. It was essential to thoroughly cover this topic because to the degree that we understand how we should lead, this is the preparation for the fiery trial that occurs as a part of Day 5's challenge to us as followers. Like Ye'Shua, once we receive the Baptism and recognition by the Almighty as being His child, appointed into office, and commissioned for our position, the wilderness experience comes. With the wilderness experience comes the Tempter. To the degree that we understand humility and who we are in God, this is the degree to which we will not fall prey to the temptations of the enemy.

Continuing the conversation for leading by example. God has an amazing plan for our life,but understanding leadership in the Kingdom and how we as leaders should serve is critical to the process. We continue to examine what Matthew 23 has to say on the topic and how we can live this life in divine order with God and in loving nurturing relationships with one another.

We picked up right where we left off yesterday on this very important topic. We will go through Matthew 23 to hear what Ye'Shua has said about the matter and with each layer of the onion that we peel we will find ourselves becoming leaders who serve the Kingdom of God with the heart of David, the humility of Moses, and the influence of Paul. Judgment after all will begin at the House of God and if we scarcely make it what shall become of the sinner. Getting an understanding of this will be imperative to the next move we choose to make.

This is a three maybe four part series in Day four. We are still here, but it is imperative that we understand leadership so that when day 5 comes we can have the success that Ye'Shua had when he was tempted 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness. Because every believer will have a wilderness experience because the adversary wants to steal, kill, and destroy you. This is his plan for your life, and if we don't fully grasp God's plan we will play into his hands. So in these series of episodes which was done at one time but has been broken up into several categories I address what the scripture teaches concerning how leaders should lead, and I use the best example I know of in scripture for us to follow and that is the example of the Messiah himself. The one who made himself of no reputation Php. 2:7. Having an understanding of who the head of the body is will keep us all in check.

Continuing on Day 4 I share what the Most High revealed to me in reading 1 Peter 5 concerning leadership. I show through both the Old and New Testament scriptures what this should look like and how the parental model is the basis for understanding leadership in the Body of Christ. Day 4 is critical to understand as our identity and our confidence in the presence of God in our lives and ministry needs to be clear before we deal with the temptations that the wilderness bring that is revealed in Day 5. As believers we walk through this week and as the turning point of the 7 day creation week it is important we fully understand what God's expectations are for us, if we are indeed called to represent Him in a ministerial capacity.

As we tackle the question of leadership how important is it to look at what Ye'shua (Jesus) counciled concerning it? Matt. 20:20-25 gives us some insight as to what His expectations are concerning his followers. In this segment we cover some of this. We are still on Day 4, but as leaders it is critical we understand how what is written in the stars translate to us who have our foot on the ground and governing ourselves according to the model we see in scripture will ensure that in the end we receive the full reward for our obedience to His word. So I am excited about where this is leading us. Also, I didn't make it to 1 Peter 5 but hopefully I will get there on our next segment.

Continuing on our study on Day 4 we look at the prophetic significance of the heavenly bodies in light of Matt. 24. We connect the heavenly bodies to God's chosen people, and identify who those people are according to scripture. Join me with your favorite cup of tea as we explore the word of God together.

We are continuing our study on Day four of creation and in particular on the word "season". In this episode we reveal how the Messiah fulfilled the Spring Feast, and what His faithfulness to be the Witness to scripture means to us as believers.

The last three Feast of the Lord reveal the prophetic return of our Messiah and the catching away of the Church. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter but the honor of kings to search it out. (Proverbs 25:2) If you want to know what is in our future you need only look to the word of God for those answers and indeed as Col. 2:16-17 reveals to us they are indeed a shadow of things to come. If you found yourself amazed at the accuracy of the fulfillment of the Spring feast of YHVH you will not want to miss what is yet to come, and soon come.

In today's episode, we are still on Day 4 and still dissecting the meaning of the word "seasons" here in Genesis 1:14. We are identifying several of the "WH" questions and answers that are so important to answer in order to discover where we fit in, as Believers. We tackle the meaning of this word as it appears in Leviticus 23 and how it connects us back to Day 4. Indeed we are recognizing that God did declare the end from the beginning and how God connects His people so that they can be on guard for the days that are ahead. We are called to be a witness and we need to understand what that looks like according to the word of God.

Continuing our look at Day Four in the creation week we delve even deeper into what the "oth" (aleph vav tav) looks like in other scriptures. We do a comparison and take its natural application to its spiritual application so that we as believers can be confident in who we are called to be. We have only scratched the surface of this study but plenty of nuggets remain for those eager to grow in the knowledge of the truth.
