Follow along with us as we study the difficult topics of the bible to find the truth of Yehovah. As a follower of Christ, we are called to be students of the truth (2 Tim. 2:15). This podcast is meant to utilize the scriptures to correctly outline what the bible tells us is the truth and in the process, help to unlearn the bad tradition, theology, and error of popular modern theology that has been read into the bible. To be a Berean means to hold every idea, theology, and claim made by people who say they follow Yehovah against the truth of scripture, regardless of who or where the idea may have come from. Study with us as we seek truth objectively about who Yehovah is, what His son Jesus has done for us, and what we can do to live an effective and overcoming life until Jesus returns.

In Leviticus 25 Yehovah outlines for His people that on the day of Atonement in the seventh month the people were to cause the trumpet of Jubilee(Yovel) to sound in the land after seven sabbath years to declare the 50th year a time of Jubilee. This period of time is a time of reconciliation, debt forgiveness, and freedom. In this episode we discuss why this is important in light of the coming kingdom as well as what we can expect to see leading into this time that Christ will ultimately declare and usher in, ending the time of toil.
"The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is on Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound; to preach the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn; to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified. And they will build the old wastes, they will raise up the ruins of former times. And they will repair the waste cities, the ruins of many generations. And strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the stranger will be your plowmen and your vinedressers. But you will be named the priests of Jehovah; it will be said of you, Ministers of our God; you will eat the riches of the nations, and you will revel in their glory."
Isaiah 61:1-6

Yehovah directed the Hebrews to provide the land with rest after 6 years of working the soil. This wasn't just an arbitrary rule to make His people follow but a time for the land to rejuvenate and an image of what He planned to do in the future for His people. In the Kingdom we see the evidence of a sabbath not just for Yehovahs people, but for the earth as well. In this episode we take a look at what that means for us as believers and what we can look forward to in the coming kingdom.
"You shall sow your field six years, and you shall prune your vineyard six years, and shall gather its produce. And in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest to the land, a sabbath to Jehovah. You shall not sow your field, and you shall not prune your vineyard."
Leviticus 25:3-4

We are told in scripture that on the 10th day of the 7th month on Yehovahs calendar (Ethanim) that a day of atonement would be held for all generations for the Hebrews. This is considered a Holy day by Yehovah because it was the only day of the year the High Priest could enter into the Holy of Holies to be in Yehovahs presence to be directed and counseled on what they need to do as His people. Tradition holds to this day also being a day of judgement in finality. That your fate will be sealed for either eternal life or destruction. In this episode we take a look at why this day is so important in the timeline of the return of Christ and how it ties in to Yom Teruah which takes place just a few days prior.
"And I will meet you there, and will speak with you, above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubs which are on the ark of testimony, all which I shall command you concerning the sons of Israel."
Exodus 25:22

Scripture shows us that Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for not being able to discern the time that had arrived, the signs of the messiah and the evidence that Jesus was the one prophesied to come. Scripture also points to the fact that Jesus will return and we have also been given signs to look for to warn of the second coming of Jesus. The moedim of Leviticus 23 are the foundation to the understanding of end times study and Yom Teruah is a specific time that Jesus alluded to regarding His return. In this episode we take a look at the appointed time of Yehovah that is focused on the message of repentance and the return of the king to take His throne.
"...in an instant, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed."
1 Corinthians 15:52

Gods word tells us that the world will suppress the truth of the gospel in their wickedness. We are seeing a pandemic of political correctness in America that is creeping in to the groups that are supposed to be following Christ. In this episode we take a detour to discuss the issue of the world pressuring the Christian body to compromise on their ideals and convictions, or to validate and advocate for sinful or wicked behaviors. What do we do to stand firm for the truth? Why is it such an issue for believers to hold the line and not compromise in what God has said is right or wrong? God gives us the formula to success in His word, it's our responsibility to dig that out and apply it to our lives.
"The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness. For what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood from His workmanship, so that men are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but they became futile in their thinking and darkened in their foolish hearts. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images of mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles."
Romans 1:17-23

There are many ideas floating around the body of believers today about when or how the kingdom will exist. Some argue it's strictly spiritual and has already come and gone starting in the first century, others claim we are responsible for cleaning things up before Jesus can return to establish the kingdom, and some make the claim that the bible didn't mean what it said when it tells us the kingdom will be a physical theocracy headquartered in Jerusalem and will last for 1000 literal years. In this episode we cover some of the surface level issues with these ideas and look at what the bible actually says about the future kingdom to come.
"I was looking in the night visions. And behold! One like the Son of Man came with the clouds of the heavens. And He came to the Ancient of Days. And they brought Him near before Him. And dominion was given to Him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed."
Daniel 7:13-14

John writes in revelations that Satan is bound and thrown into the abyss before the kingdom is established. In this episode we take a look at what scripture talks about in relation to this binding and what we can understand about the why behind this event. Scripture tells us that the kingdom will be a time of peace and prosperity, with the main rebel and his team taken care of, this can be a reality.
"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven with the key to the Abyss, holding in his hand a great chain. He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. And he threw him into the Abyss, shut it, and sealed it over him, so that he could not deceive the nations until the thousand years were complete. After that, he must be released for a brief period of time."
Revelation 20:1-3

Throughout the ministry of Jesus, He gives us multiple parables that illustrate the different characteristics of the Kingdom of Yehovah and the events leading up to it. In this episode we take a look at some of the different parables and the meaning behind them and how we can better understand the Kingdom to come.
"Again, the kingdom of Heaven is compared to a drag net thrown into the sea, and gathering together of every kind; which, when it was filled, drawing it up on the shore, and sitting down, they gathered the good into containers, and they threw out the rotten. So it will be in the completion of the age: the angels will go out and will separate the evil from the midst of the righteous, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and gnashing of the teeth."
Matthew 13:47-50

"As He said these things, He would call out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant. And He said, “To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is in parables, so that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. “Therefore I speak to them in parables; because while seeing they do not see, and while hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand. " Luke 8:8-10. Jesus tells us there is a reason behind the giving of parables to the people, so they wouldn't find understanding of the things regarding His teachings. In this episode we discuss some of the things to consider when approaching biblical parables and take a quick look at some of them that discuss the future kingdom.
"He replied, “The knowledge of the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them." - Matthew 13:11

The bible tells us that Yehovah has given His Son Power and Authority over all of creation, things seen and unseen. As a follower of Christ we are allowed access to the power and authority that was given to Christ to work against the powers of darkness, to win souls and advance the message of the coming kingdom. In this episode we take a look at how this can and should affect our lives as believers and how we should mature into a strong and empowered walk as we follow Christ in the will of Yehovah.
"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
Acts of the Apostles 1:8
