  1. Zechariah 3:6-10 - The Servant Branch and the Stone of Seven Eyes

    18 JAN

    Zechariah 3:6-10 - The Servant Branch and the Stone of Seven Eyes

    In this conclusion to Zechariah's fourth vision, Brother Gideon Levytam examines the charge given to Joshua the High Priest and the Messianic promises that follow. The Lord declares He will bring forth "My Servant the Branch" (Tzemach). Gideon traces this title through the Hebrew Scriptures to present the Messiah as the divine Branch of the Lord, the King from David's line, the perfect Man, and the obedient Servant, then connects these portraits to the four Gospel accounts. The vision then turns to a single Stone set before Joshua, with seven eyes, portraying fullness, perfect sight, and the Spirit's complete work. Gideon identifies this Stone as the Messiah, rejected at His first coming yet made the Chief Cornerstone. Through Him, God promises to remove the iniquity of the land "in one day," looking ahead to Israel's future restoration and a coming age of peace, where each will dwell under the vine and the fig tree.

    Hebrews 13:10-25 - Bearing the Reproach of Yeshua Outside the Camp

    In the conclusion of his study on the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam expounds on the profound typology found in the Day of Atonement (Yom HaKippurim). Just as the bodies of the beasts for the sin offering were burned outside the camp according to the Torah, Yeshua suffered outside the gate of Jerusalem to sanctify the people with His own blood. Gideon exhorts believers to go forth unto Him "without the camp," leaving behind the shadows of the old system to identify fully with the rejected Messiah. The message concludes with practical instructions for the believer's daily walk. Since the ultimate sacrifice has been made once and for all, we are called to offer spiritual sacrifices—the "fruit of our lips" giving thanks to His name and the doing of good works. Gideon closes the series with the powerful benediction of the God of Peace, who brought again from the dead the Great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the everlasting covenant.

    Romans 8:12-17 - The Spirit of Adoption: Heirs With the Messiah

    In this study of Romans 8:12–17, Brother Gideon Levytam teaches that believers are no longer debtors to the flesh but are called to live a sanctified life through the power of the Holy Spirit (Ruach HaElohim). Gideon explains that by the Spirit, we are empowered to "mortify," or put to death, the deeds of the body. We have not received a spirit of bondage to fear, but the Spirit of adoption, allowing us to cry out to God as "Abba, Father" (Abba Avinu). Continuing in the Epistle to the Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Gideon highlights that the Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are truly children of God. As children, we are heirs of God and joint-heirs with the Messiah (Mashiach). Gideon encourages us that although we may suffer with Him in this present world, our adoption ensures that we will also be glorified together with Him.

    Zechariah 3:1-5 - The Messiah as Advocate and the Robe of Righteousness

    From Zechariah 3:1-5, in the fourth vision given to the prophet, Brother Gideon Levytam reveals the pre-incarnate Messiah acting as the divine Advocate for His people. The vision depicts a heavenly courtroom where Joshua the High Priest, representing the nation of Israel, stands clad in filthy garments while Satan, the adversary, stands ready to accuse him. Gideon explains how the Angel of the Lord—identified here as the Messiah—intervenes to rebuke the accuser, declaring Israel to be "a brand plucked out of the fire" by God's sovereign grace. The message highlights the great exchange at the heart of the gospel: the Messiah removing the filthy garments of iniquity and clothing His servant in a "change of raiment," representing the robe of righteousness. Gideon points us to the cleansing power of the Lord Yeshua, who silences the accusations of the enemy and restores His people, transforming them from a state of defilement into a holy priesthood adorned for His service.

  5. Hebrews 13:7-9 - Established in Grace through the Unchanging Messiah

    Hebrews 13:7-9 - Established in Grace through the Unchanging Messiah

    In this study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), Brother Gideon Levytam examines Hebrews 13:7–9, focusing on the practical evidence of faith in the life of a believer. He highlights the exhortation to remember and follow the faith of godly leaders who have spoken the Word of God. Central to this encouragement is the unchanging nature of our Savior: Yeshua HaMashiach (Jesus the Messiah) is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Gideon connects this to the character of Jehovah in the Tanakh, reminding us that because the Messiah does not change, His promises and His presence remain a constant anchor for His people. Gideon also addresses the warning against being carried away by "diverse and strange doctrines," particularly those focused on legalistic dietary restrictions or man-made traditions. Drawing from the wisdom of the Apostle Paul in Romans and Colossians, he emphasizes that the heart is truly established by grace (Chesed), not by ritualistic observances which do not profit the soul. As we navigate a world of shifting voices, we are called to remain occupied with the person of Yeshua and the sufficiency of the grace He has provided.

  6. Romans 8:9-11 - The Indwelling Spirit of Messiah

    14/12/2025

    Romans 8:9-11 - The Indwelling Spirit of Messiah

    From Romans 8:9–11, in his study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam expounds on the defining mark of a true believer: the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. He highlights Paul’s distinction that we are no longer "in the flesh" but "in the Spirit," and emphasizes that without the Spirit of Messiah (Ruach HaMashiach), one cannot belong to Him. Gideon further explores the profound promise found in verse 11, teaching that the very same Spirit who raised Yeshua from the dead dwells within us. He explains that this is not only a future hope of resurrection but a present reality, where the Spirit "quickens"—or gives life to—our mortal bodies today, enabling us to walk in newness of life.

  7. Zechariah 2:1-13 - The Messiah as a Wall of Fire and the Glory in the Midst

    07/12/2025

    Zechariah 2:1-13 - The Messiah as a Wall of Fire and the Glory in the Midst

    In this study of Zechariah 2:1-13, Brother Gideon Levytam explores the prophet’s third vision concerning a man with a measuring line. Gideon identifies this figure as none other than the Angel of the Lord—the pre-incarnate Messiah—who comes to measure Jerusalem not for limitation, but in preparation for her future restoration. The prophecy offers profound encouragement to the Jewish remnant, looking forward to the day when the city will be inhabited as "towns without walls," safe under the protection of her King. Gideon highlights the divine promise where the Lord declares He will be "a wall of fire round about" and "the glory in the midst" of Zion. This passage looks beyond the restoration of the second temple to the ultimate fulfillment in the Messianic Kingdom, where Yeshua will dwell among His people. We are reminded that he who touches Israel touches "the apple of His eye," and are pointed toward the glorious future when many nations shall be joined to the Lord in Jerusalem.

  8. Hebrews 13:1-6 - Walking in Brotherly Love and Contentment

    30/11/2025

    Hebrews 13:1-6 - Walking in Brotherly Love and Contentment

    From Hebrews 13:1-6, Brother Gideon Levytam brings us to the final chapter of the epistle, shifting from the "better things" of doctrine to the practical application of our faith. Gideon emphasizes that sound doctrine must lead to a transformed walk. He expounds on the command to let "brotherly love" (Ahavat Achim) continue, showing how this love is proven through hospitality to strangers, empathy for those suffering in bonds, and maintaining honor and purity within the marriage covenant. Gideon further challenges the body of Messiah to live a life free from covetousness, finding true security not in material wealth, but in the presence of God. Anchored in the Lord’s unwavering promise, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee,” we are encouraged to be content and fearless, boldly declaring that the Lord is our Helper in the midst of a changing world.
