The discs are divided into chapters to be easily used individually or with a group. As an Israeli tour guide and Messianic believer, I welcome you to that this opportunity to experience Israel. May you be personally enriched and blessed!”

“Hanna Ben-Haim, has a passion for Israel burning like a fire in her heart. Her teachings are meant to inspire and open the spiritual eyes of her listeners. Let these lessons impart in you God’s love for His land and His people.” Peter Tsukahua, Pastor, Kehilat HaCarmel and Director Carmel School of Ministry.

Hanna has the gift of communicating her knowledge and God’s word in a way that can give encouragement and understanding, not only to those who have just started their walk with God but, also, to those who have preached His word for many years. Judith C Wilson, Visionary and Producer.

 Weekly Wednesday tribes

Round Table Discussion
    10:30 am – 12:00 pm

The Sons of Jacob, that is,
                    The Tribes of Israel.

Evelyn Kinsella and Linda Clark will be leading the discussion.

The foundation of this study is the Holy Scriptures, but studied in the light of the “symbolic meaning of the Tribes of Israel in these last days.”

round table discussionsUsing Gwen Shaw’s in-depth study on the 13 tribes of Israel, this round table discussion will look at the natural Tribes and their descendants and from these be able to identify the spiritual tribes, even physical Gentiles who will fulfill the callings, inheritances and destiny of the original Tribes of Israel.

tribe flagsEach member of this Round Table Discussion may begin to see character traits of the sons of Jacob in themselves and learn from this the future that may be theirs.

Join us, Wednesdays, 10:30 pm to noon for this Round Table Discussion with Evelyn Kinsella and Linda Clark. Bring the whole family!

The Hebrew Calendar
Cycles of Life

Almost 2,000 years have gone by since Acts 2:1.

“When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place”...verse 4 “All of them were filed with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them”…verse 14 “Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. These men are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people…verse 21 “And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” NIV

Let us not forget Acts 2:18-20, the events that are still to occur “before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord” and then verse 21“And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” NIV

We are in that prophetic “between time.” Peter declared the Messiah and three thousand were saved that day.

It is the events that have occurred from that day to today that needs a “second look.”

Today, many Jewish people have been separated from Holy Scripture by Rabbinic Judaism focusing on the Talmud while Christians, beginning in the fourth century moved away from their Hebrew roots by removing Passover and instituting “Easter” and initiating Christmas in December.

The “second look” is becoming an emergence of both Jew and non-Jew (Christian) looking at and seeking knowledge about their Hebrew Roots.

If you are going to teach “Hebrew Roots” THOLW suggests beginning with God’s Calendar.

Every year, beginning in the first month of the year the calendar can be completed and the dates of the “Feasts of the Lord,” Leviticus 23, can be filled in using the lunar calendar and the Gregorian calendar.

To make your calendar all you need is a plate for the outside ring and a ruler, pencil and string.

Then you need to know the first month.

Scripture tells us that as the Israelites were in Egypt and the last plague was to take place, “The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, ‘This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.” Ex 12:1-2 NIV.

“Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the LORD your God, for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.” Deut 16:1-2 NKJV

This was the first Passover and falls in the Egyptian month of Abib, identified by the Lord as the “first month” for the Hebrews.

During the 6th century BC Babylonian exile of the Hebrews, the Babylonian month names were adopted into the Hebrew calendar therefore Nisan is the first month of the Hebrew calendar.

Through most of scripture, the months are referred to by their number.

In Leviticus 23, the LORD identifies His months, His appointed times to be with His people.

Looking at Leviticus 23, the first “appointed time” is the “seventh day rest.”

“There are six days when you may work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of rest, a day of sacred assembly. You are not to do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.” Lev 23:3 NIV

For those taking a “second look” at their Hebrew Roots, there is no way to “writing off” this appointed time to be with the Lord.

Jesus and all of the New Testament authors celebrated these “appointed times of the LORD” in Leviticus 23:1-44.

“There is not one word in the New Testament suggesting that the Church should stop honoring these holy days,” writes Bill Morford, translator of “The One New Man Bible.” See www.onenewmanbible.com

In the Glossary of The One New Man Bible, Rev. Morford gives in insight into the Pharisees and their admonitions that were not necessarily Biblical but against the Pharisees’ code.

An example is John 5:1-15 where Jesus healed the man at the Pool of Bethesda.

“The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.” John 5:10 NKJV

Rev. Morford points out that “to heal on the Sabbath is not prohibited in Scripture. Jeremiah 17:21-22 includes the admonition, “Thus says the LORD, Take heed for yourselves! Do not bear a burden on the Sabbath or bring it is the gates of Jerusalem! Do not carry a burden out of your houses on the Sabbath, or do any work but sanctify the Sabbath, as I commander your fathers”

Jesus knew that carrying things “at some point becomes work which is forbidden.” “Legalist,” Rev. Morford points out can define “burden” as “something as small as a handkerchief.”

Back to the 7th day rest, Shabbat in Hebrew; Sabbath in English. First, The Lord said to celebrate this day.

Next, look at some scripture related to this day: Isaiah 58:13-14.

13. “If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on My Holy Day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words,

14. “then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.’ The mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Isa 58:13-14 NIV

This time is a separation from the secular world and by Jewish tradition, there is a service at the synagogue which still takes place today to make the “transition back to the secular workday.” This service is called Havdalah and means separation in Hebrew. Three prayers are said, a cup of wine is filled and overflows, a three strand candle is light, later to be put out in the overflow, and a spice box to smell remembering the Sabbath past, “how sweet it is”; and the first day of the week begins, at sundown of course.

Again, for those taking a “second look,” as you begin to learn the Hebrew Roots of our salvation, Rev. Morford points out in Acts 20:7, Paul was speaking in Troas after such a service when Eutuchus fell out the window. Again in 1 Cor. 16:2 after a Havdalah service, Paul instructed the believers to set aside their money because exchanging money on the Sabbath is not kosher. Is this a “new” way of looking at Scripture or is it the revelation of Scripture as it has always been but just around 2,000 years later.

In the book, “Israel’s Feasts and their Fullness,” by Batya Ruth Wootten, the question is asked “Why Keep the Sabbath?” Here are some reasons:

  • The LORD God kept it. Gen 2:2-3
  • The LORD made it a commandment for His followers. Ex 20:8-10, Deut 5:12-14
  • Jesus kept the Sabbath. Mark 1:21, Mark 3:1-2, Mark 6:2, Luke 4:16, Luke 13:10
  • The Early Believers followed the Sabbath commands even after Jesus’ death. Mark 16:1
  • Paul the apostle worshiped on the Sabbath. Acts 13:13-14, Acts 17:2, Acts 18:4
  • The Early Believers worshipped on the Sabbath. Acts 15:21, Acts 16:13
  • The LORD pronounced a special blessing on those who keep His Sabbath. Isa 56:6-7
  • Keeping the Sabbath is a sign, a mark of belonging, between the LORD and His people. Ex 31:13, Ex 31:17, Lev 19:3 Ezek 20:12, Rev 7:3

An “appointed time” with the LORD does not take away from the new tradition of the first day, Lord’s Day celebration, Sunday worship services but remember, Jesus said, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations…teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” Matt 28:19-20 NIV

Celebrate the Sabbath in your own way, realizing that on that day you will find your joy in Him, Isaiah 58:14.

Shabbat Shalom!
