Dr Hollisa Alewine – CHUKKAT (Why They Die) June 20, 2021

Twice in the wilderness a rock is prompted to bring forth water to drink. In Chukkat, Moses and Aaron make a huge mistake that seems like a minor one. Instead of speaking to the Rock as instructed, they strike the Rock as they did the first time. This brings us to the Bible study tip of the week. Miracles ARE repeated, but they are not performed the same way twice. Perhaps this is why in this Torah Portion Chukkat we begin to understand why it is that righteous people die.

Dr Hollisa Alewine – KORACH (Beating a Dead Horse) June 13, 2021

When we lose the big picture, it’s easy to cool off spiritually. In this week's Torah Portion "Korach," Korah and his rebels had cooled off even after the great experience at Sinai. Because the Israelites couldn’t stand to hear more than the Ten Words, they had to trust Moses when he gave them additional instructions. That, however, was the playing field of suspicion on the part of the rebels. It was another authority “snake test” of “Did God really say…?

Dr Hollisa Alewine – SHELACH LEKHA (Big Tent ReBible) June 5, 2021

Why is the list of the twelve tribes missing two names? There may be clues as to the re-bibliography of the tribes in Revelation, and those clues are found in this week’s seeds of prophecy in Shelach Lekha.

This Torah portion provides some of the primary texts from which the idea of two messiahs arose in Jewish tradition: Messiah bar Ephraim (Hoshea/Joshua) and Messiah bar David (Caleb):

Numbers 13:1-16; 14:1-10; 14:36-38

Dr Hollisa Alewine – BEHAR/BECHUKOTAI (A Naturalized Citizen) May 8, 2021

The issue of slavery is a difficult one for the modern mind, especially in America where its negative effects didn't cease with the end of the Civil War. In Torah study, the many English translations of the Hebrew word eved into "slave" can confuse even the wisest of readers. "Slave" rips the economic position of the eved out of its Hebrew cultural and Biblical context and leaves a very bad taste in the mouth.

Join in today's study as Dr Alewine unpack this week's double Portion with a more in-depth study on the citizenship of the servants and how they are spoken of in Yeshua's parable of the vineyard.

Dr Hollisa Alewine – EMOR (The Hours: Not Even the Angels Know) May 2, 2021

This week's Torah Portion, EMOR covering Leviticus 24:1-24: 23 is important because of our investigation of the Temple hours, which are different from regular hours. Here we will shed insight into what was happening in the Heavenlies during Yeshua's hours on the crucifixion tree. It also gives a new understanding of why Yeshua cried out, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?"

Dr Hollisa Alewine – SONG OF SONG SERIES (You Are Beautiful) April 24, 2021

This week, rather than do a deep study of the portions, we will take a walk in the Song of Songs. This whole book is about the resurrection and in the 2 passages taught on in this episode, we shall see how this too correlates to the Yom Kippur service from this week's Torah Portion. Hopefully by pointing some things out in this text you can see the beauty of what Yeshua Messiah has done for us.

Dr Hollisa Alewine – TAZRIA/METZORA (Just a Hair Off) April 17, 2021

"When she sows seed" and "Leper" --- Sin sacrifices have been offered for Aharon and his sons so that they could in turn offer sacrifices for the people. They needed to make atonement for the Golden Calf, an event still very much in the consciousness of the young nation. With proper preparation for the moment, the Presence descended on the Eighth. This theme of the Eighth extends into the next two Torah portions, Tazria and Metzorah.

 

If we draw a relationship among the types of “eighth” in Shmini and Tazria/Metzorah, then the circumcision on the Eighth Day in Tazria, and a cleansed metzorah [leper], and purified zav [one with a non-natural discharge] which require a sacrifice on the eighth day in Metzorah, also usher in a closer, restored Presence of the Holy One. This person may re-enter the Sanctuary.
