Mysteries of the Messiah Rabbi Jason Sobel

In this episode of Mysteries of the Messiah with Rabbi Jason Sobel, we explore one of the most blatant errors in the nativity scenes that decorate our homes and churches: the presence of the magi at the manger with the infant Jesus. Who were these mysterious people? When did they arrive in Bethlehem, and how would they even know to look for this baby King? @ShawnBolz joins us in discussing Christmas, modern prophetic, the star, and our time together in Israel.

Everybody loves a good origin story, and in this episode, Rabbi Jason Sobel describes Chanukah's origin (Hanukkah). We can sum up the essence of this Jewish holiday in two words: fighting and lighting. This celebration restores our hope, faith, and trust that our God is true to His word! 

The light of Chanukah points to the light of Yeshua-Jesus the Messiah. Yeshua's light lives in you. You are the light. Have Courage and be strengthened, He is with you!

“O Little Town of Bethlehem” is a beloved Christmas carol. The description as “little” seems apt, as even the Prophet referred to it as the “least among the clans of Judah” (Mic 5:1 tlv). What we discover upon closer examination, however, is that this small village is overflowing with significance. Its very name speaks to the human soul’s deepest needs. It brings a sense of calling and possibility to us as we approach the holiday season.

In this episode, Rabbi Jason builds from his teaching in episode 4, which explored the details surrounding where Yeshua was born (not a barn) and who came to visit Him (not ignorant rabble). One of the signs the angels said to look for was a baby wrapped in “swaddling cloths.” Could this be more than a baby outfit and point to Yeshua’s prophetic destiny?

When you imagine Jesus in a manger what do you see? If the picture is based on popular artwork, you probably envision Him laying on a fluffy pile of hay, in a wooden box, and surrounded by all sorts of animals in a wooden barn. In this episode, Rabbi Jason Sobel unveils the oldest, undisputed truths of the Messiah’s birth…and they turn our images upside-down! Discover the authentic Nativity story and its rich meaning for your life today.

One of the most outlandish claims of the Christian faith is that Yeshua-Jesus was born of a virgin. The early believers seem to have considered this claim as essential, considering it appears in the two main historic Christian confessions: the Apostles’ and Nicene Creeds. Rabbi Jason leads us through clues sprinkled throughout the Scriptures, confirming that this supernatural claim is biblical.
