God would raise up dreamers today. Raise up a Joseph that envisioned a plan to save Egypt in a famine. Raise up a Moses that saw the redemption of God’s people. Raise up a David who wrote praises and visualized a Temple. Raise up a Solomon who actually built the Temple. *COME JOIN Messianic Rabbi Steve Sleek on RUMBLE, Subscribe To Our New Channel And Tell Your Friends Today! https://rumble.com/c/c-356025 *YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuYxMUefv6LxBSeDloKW7GQ

That is the strength that Jacob handed down to the Jewish people. What really blows the mind though is that this small minority of people survived tragedies that would have annihilated any other people group. One need only look at decades of slavery in Egypt, destruction of two Temples, Babylonian and Roman conquest, the expulsions, persecutions, and pogroms of the Middle Ages, the rise of antisemitism in the nineteenth century, culminating with the Holocaust. It is truly amazing that after each disaster, God’s people renewed itself, scaling new heights of achievement. *COME JOIN Messianic Rabbi Steve Sleek on RUMBLE, Subscribe To Our New Channel And Tell Your Friends Today! https://rumble.com/c/c-356025 *YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuYxMUefv6LxBSeDloKW7GQ

Jacob and the Ladder

Maps are show and illistrated in this class The lands are divided in horizontal bands from the Mediterranean Sea eastward • The allotments boundaries are equal • The surface area would seem to be unequal • Tribes born to Jacob’s concubines are farther from Jerusalem • Ezekiel did not name the city but Zechariah did • Zechariah 14:8 Moreover, in that day living waters will flow from Jerusalem, half toward the eastern sea and half toward the western sea, both in the summer and in the winter. *COME JOIN Messianic Rabbi Steve Sleek on RUMBLE, Subscribe To Our New Channel And Tell Your Friends Today! https://rumble.com/c/c-356025 *YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCuYxMUefv6LxBSeDloKW7GQ

One thing I really appreciate about the Bible is that it is unvarnished. What I mean by that is that the Bible tells us about our ancestors without making them out to be superheroes that were always righteous and never made mistakes. Just look at the families of the Patriarchs and David. They were all dysfunctional. Right? Or, were they just regular families with difficulties, struggles, heartaches similar to our own? The story of Jacob and Esau is a problematic one. Rebecca was barren for 20 years before she conceived. She received an oracle from God that one twin would be stronger and that the older would serve the younger. It did not say whether the strong one would be the first born or second born. We need to resist the temptation to paint Jacob as some weak, mama’s boy. Remember, he later wrestled a heavenly being and prevailed. But the birth order and the weak, strong description was confusing. And certainly, the way it all played out is worthy of an Agatha Christy novel. But in the end, God’s plan came to fruition. Sometimes, our own lives mirror those of Isaac’s family. There may be conflict, confusion, or corruption. Each one of us has a unique personality that was formed in the womb. Look at your own children. Whether you have just one or a dozen, no two are the same.

One thing i enjoy about this Rabbi is his willingness to take on tough issues. Items most will not. How do i know that, Facebook boots you off every two weeks and Youtube has a warning.

He said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man?” Then he brought me back to the bank of the river. ( When I had returned, behold, there were very many trees on one side and on the other, along the bank of the river.
