The Walk - (Exodus) Tabernacle Study - Wk 1

The Walk – Exodus Study

 

·      Refresher/New Comer Overview

o   The Walk – 1John 2:6 – “whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked.” – ESV

§  Ought = “to owe a debt”

§  Apostles -> bondservants

o   Contact info

§  [email protected]

§  Weekly Podcast:  corrycraine.libsyn.com

o   The class curriculum and direction is determined by the questions and the interest of those in it.

§  At the end of last semester, a study of the wilderness tabernacle was requested.  So, I have spent all summer preparing for this.  As I did, I made a startling discovery.  As a result, I’m expanding the breadth of the study to include cataloging the “Commands” of the OT.

o   I am becoming a Jewish Roots teacher

§  Give credit to Tom Bradford – TorahClass.com (Seed of Abraham Ministries)

§  The entire Bible was written by Jew’s, about a Jewish Messiah.  How can you hope to understand the Bible (OT or NT) if you don’t understand the Jewish context?

§  Reading the OT in English translation is like kissing your bride through her veil

·      Therefore, I’m starting to learn to speak, read, and write Hebrew

§  The Catholic and ultimately the Evangelical Church have removed ALL Jewishness from the “Christian” Faith

·      We have become a branch without a tree

o   Per the Scriptures, Gentiles are grafted and adopted into Israel

·      Why remove Jewishness?  -> Christianity was “Romanized” -> establishes authority of the Emperor as the Highest god.

o   Date of Edict: March 7, 321 AD.  The Mandate: Commanded judges, city residents, and craftsmen to rest on the "venerable day of the sun".

§  Venerable - accorded a great deal of respect, typically because of age, wisdom, character, or long-standing status

§  Used as a title in the Catholic Church for someone who achieves “sainthood”

 

·      Errors in pairs – legalism/hedonism

o   Rabbinical Judaism vs Biblical Judaism

o   Constantinian Christianity vs Biblical Christianity

o   I believe Biblical Christianity is Transformed Biblical Judaism and therefore should be one in the same for all practical purposes.

 

·      Beginning in Ch 16.  Focus on how God makes Israel His People and how that projects into our lives today.

o   Recommend you get a 3-ring binder and some tab sheets for your notes or bring your laptop/tablet.  I will be giving you a LOT of information that you will need to organize and review as we progress.

 

·      Background and premise

o   God is a Covenant God

§  How Convenance works

§  3 Primary Covenant Seals

·      Transformation of the Whole Person

o   God bought Israel out of Bondage/Slavery

§  Act of Grace -> Redeemed His People

§  Wondering in the desert is the beginning of Sanctification

o   Establish timeline -> Saga begins with Passover – Nissan 10

§  Exodus 16 begins on the 15^th day of the 2^nd month (Iyyar 15)

§  Introduce calendar circle handout

o   History Summary

§  Creation of mankind and it’s fall into sin

§  God gives mankind a second chance with the flood

§  Mankind quickly returns to wickedness and God slows their progression by confusing their languages (Babylon).

§  God has brought Abram out from among his people and made a Covenant with him to father His Holy People.

§  Abraham’s descendants escape the famine in Egypt and stayed there 430 years (Ex 12:40), growing into a people in the millions.

§  A Pharoh arose who did not remember Joseph and feared the size of the people and enslaves and oppresses them.

§  God frees His People and brings destruction to Pharoh and shows His Might over the god’s of Egypt

§  We pick up in Exodus 16 just after the Red Sea and the Song of Moses

 

·      Next week, we will begin by reading and then breaking down Exodus 16.  Feel free to read in advance.

o   Always come to class, even if you think you are unprepared.
