    John 6

    In this session we will discover the meaning of being sent by exploring the ancient custom of agency. The agent was regarded as one with the sender, thus commanding the same power and authority to act on the sender’s behalf. This concept will become important when we consider, in a later session, how Yeshua is sending his disciples.

    Are the Jews Cursed?

    English translations use the term “cursed” to describe the Jews whom Paul was addressing in Romans 9-11. In English, the term “cursed” conveys a state of being doomed, condemned, and cut off from God. However, since Paul was conveying a Hebrew concept to Jews in Rome, we must consider the Hebrew word חרם (charam). Join me as we work to understand the Hebrew understanding, which will lead to a conclusion that challenges traditional Christian interpretations.

    Do You Want to Be in the Remnant? A Glimpse of the Remnant’s Future Work

    I would like to share with you some of my research from Scripture on the future role of the Remnant. Knowing the future helps us stand firm today and gives us an incentive to walk in harmony and righteousness with God. We will turn to the Book of Daniel for a prophetic narrative of a future battle that will ultimately defeat Satan and his forces of evil. The story occurs in Daniel 3:19-30 when Daniel’s three friends, Shadrach, Mishach, and Abednego (who represent the Remnant) are thrown by Nebuchadnezzar’s soldiers into a furnace of blazing fire.

    All Israel Will Be Saved

    Paul presents evidence from Scripture to support his claim that “all Israel will be saved” by citing Isaiah 59:20-21. Traditionally the temptation has been to try and understand Paul’s message from these two verses. However, the people of ancient Israel lived in an oral society where they internalized blocks or portions of the Holy Writings by listening and memorizing. Therefore, we must turn to the quotation in Isaiah and begin by identifying its context, which will be its likely memorized block.

    Warning to Christians: ”Do Not Be Arrogant”

    Paul’s metaphors of the “first piece of dough” and “the lump” have been woefully misunderstood by Christians because of their reference to Hebraic concepts. So too is the misunderstanding of the imagery of the olive tree. Then Paul’s repetition of “arrogant” rings in our ears. The sense of the original Greek means to exult or triumph over others, in this case the Jews. Paul is warning Gentile believers not to see themselves as superior over their Jewish brethren who have been seriously chastised by Paul with a warning that they may lose their special inheritance of the birthright that entitles them to participation in the Remnant. Gentiles also must listen to these words of caution.

    How Does Elijah Explain the Remnant?

    Paul uses the narrative of Elijah in the Hebrew Scriptures to help us understand the role of the Remnant. God asks, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” (1 Kings 19:9) a question that will be repeated in verse 13, but only after God put Elijah through several testing experiences. The repetition forms what I call “a sandwich.” In this case, the construction is not chiastic because there are no parallel lines. However, the ancient ear would have heard the repetition and been drawn to the passage that the repetition brackets.

    Two Aspects of Salvation

    Who will be saved, and who will not be saved? This is a critical question because Christian different Christian denominations offer several possible answers. As we proceed to examine the concept of salvation in Paul’s message to the Jewish believers in Rome, we will be exploring who will be saved, how they will be saved, and the consequences of salvation as Paul and his first century Jewish brethren would have perceived this concept of “who belongs to God.”

    How to Understand Paul’s Artistry of Language

    The tragedy of a traditional Christian perspective has resulted in exalting Christians over the Jews. This is due, in part, by thinking that the Jews in Rome were not confirmed believers in Christ, which is an incorrect interpretation. However, the more serious problem is the focus on God’s benefits to Gentile believers in Christ while condemning the Jews for their unbelief. Knowing how to understand Paul’s Hebraic presentation is essential for correcting these unfortunate beliefs.
