MBM-UK - Weekly studies Gary Preston

We do a short recap on the previous and consider the 9th commandment in the context of the believing community and how it testifies regarding the nature and character of the Father and His Messiah, Torah and the world. We also discuss the mercy of the Father in the destruction of the 1st and 2nd Temples in order to prevent the Jewish leadership of its time leading the people into further idolatry. We discuss how all these things impact Israel and the believing community in our present age.

In this study we discuss the opening verse looking at how the word propheccy has been misunderstood by the believing communities over and the implications of what an "acceptable sacrifce" is in the context of the Kohen, the believing communities and the nations.

We start our study of the last of the 12 Prophets with an overview of the writings. We discuss the opening verses that have caused controversy over time and look at the importance of the covenant that they refer to. We give a brief overview of the book of Malachi and how it moves backwards and forwards through time.

In the final part of our Zechariah study, we look at the climax of the prophet's words speaking of the Messianic age, the instruction to all nations to attend the Feast of Tabernacles and the correlation with events in history that give us insight to the events that will culminate in the establishment of the Throne of David in Jerusalem, particularly in light of current events.

This week we continue our study of Zechariah looking specifically at chapter 13 and in particular verses 6&7 and how they relate to the betrayal of Yeshua not just by Judas but by the Church community that does not accept the ongoing covenant made by GOD with Israel and its people.

This week we continue looking at Zechariah 12. We discuss how chapters 12, 13 and 14 are a complete unit and the connections with the season of Pesach and the book of Leviticus.
