Description
'Foundations' is about filling in the gaps with the information most people miss or are unaware of. The truth is that over time words, definitions and culture changes in dramatic ways and applying present day understanding and meanings to words, phrases and events, can lead to very different conclusions. By learning about the Jewish and Hebrew culture that the Bible was set in and the environment, traditions and understandings of the people whom God chose to write down His Word, we can gain a bigger, deeper and richer understanding of God's Word that we love so much.

We'll be continuing our conversation today on Foundations about the identity of the suffering man of sorrows described in Isaiah 53. There's great debate between Jews and Christians, and sometimes Isaiah 53 is completely left out of Synagogue readings. The identity of this man is essential to know.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Very few people get excited when reading the book of Leviticus, because it's a long list of laws and rules and consequences. However, what makes God's Law so unique and distinct from the rest of the ancient world, was the equality that God's Law demanded of His people. No separate rules for the wealthy and elite. That's our focus today on Foundations.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If you've ever studied different cultures in the ancient world, you learn pretty quickly that when it came to the law, there were different standards and consequences depending on who was being tried. The wealthy, connected and elite often got away with things, or were given lenient sentences when compared to the common fold. In ancient Israel, God's Law was different, it was a level playing field and social status was irrelevant. In God's eyes, the Law applies equally to all. That's the real treasure from Mt Sinai.Your support sends the gospel to every corner of Australia through broadcast, online and print media: https://www.vision.org.au/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
