The religious history of God’s people and the Promised Land is complicated. The Israelitish culture is relatively young compared to that of other people who have occupied that land. The land has been occupied by many peoples over the centuries, but God was focused on the line of Shem leading up to Christ. Not all of God’s people were Jewish, nor were they all practicing Judaism. God promised to bless all twelve tribes of Israel, and He will reunite them one day. “Jewish History: Not as Ancien...

Many of Abraham’s seed believed they did not need salvation because they had the covenants, the promises, and the law. Although they were anticipating a messiah, they rejected Christ. In the book of Romans, Paul makes it clear why: not all Israel is of Israel. Some have the capacity to respond; many do not. Until God gives the capacity, no one can receive. “Not All Israel Is of Israel” Study Notes VF-2426 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

The prophecies of Ezekiel present a clear indictment of the lack of faithfulness, the rebellion, and the idolatry of the children of Israel. These prophecies help us to understand just how low the Southern Kingdom had fallen before they were carried into captivity in Babylon. They also show us God’s perfect plan for the future restoration of Israel, both the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. “God Has a Perfect Plan” Study Notes VF-2423 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DV...

God has a plan for the future of the land of Israel, when He will reunite the people of the Northern and Southern Kingdoms. But we must also understand the history that shaped Judaism from the time of the exile to the fall of Jerusalem. God is not done with the Jewish people. “The Intertestamental History of the Jewish People” Study Notes VF-2424 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

It is an error to assume that all the descendants of Abraham are Jewish. The Bible says Abraham was the father of many nations, not just one. One of the seeds descending from him was the covenant line, but the descendants of that line were not always obedient to God, and they commingled with pagans. And the idea that people are Jewish by matrilineal descent is not based on God’s word. “Investigating the Origins of Judaism” VF-2419 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's...

The Jewish identity and the practices of Judaism did not begin to emerge until after the return from the Babylonian captivity. Although the priesthood had maintained certain practices and preserved the Hebrew language, most of the population had forgotten those things. During this time, there were waves of religious zeal, but there was also disobedience. “The Emergence of Judaism” Study Notes VF-2421 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

The church needs to make a clear distinction between the law and grace, because the law imprisons; grace sets you free. As Christians, we are no longer under the law, but under grace. “The Law Imprisons; Grace Sets You Free” Study Notes VF-2414 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

The practices and identity of the Jewish people began to crystallize after their return from exile in Babylon. They began to strictly enforce the law and to separate themselves from the ways of the foreigners who ruled over them. This period also saw the addition of new laws and holidays, which the Jewish people strictly adhered to. They developed a national spirit and fought to protect their religion. “The Crystallization of the Newfound Faith” Study Notes VF-2422 Some Materials Referenced i...

The thousand-year period after the Great Tribulation will be a foretaste of eternity. The saints of all ages will be resurrected, and Christ will dwell among us and reign in Jerusalem. Eight items that were in the tabernacle and the former temple will be missing from the final temple described by Ezekiel, because they will be fulfilled by Christ. Until that time, we are to stay the course and keep the faith in anticipation of His return. “Christ in Ezekiel’s Temple” Study Notes VF-2404 Some M...

Too many people in the pulpit are teaching everything other than the gospel of Jesus Christ, including things that do not belong in the church. A minister is supposed to teach and correct the people in meekness; not in weakness, but in full strength, yet paradoxically gentle. By chastening people who resist and are opposed to the gospel, proper teaching can bring about repentance and free them from the snare of the devil unto the knowledge of the truth rooted in Christ. “In Meekness, Teach th...

Using both biblical and secular records, we can establish a timeline for the exodus out of Egypt. The people traditionally referred to as “Jews” were not Jews at the time of the exodus; they would have been known as “Hebrews” or as “the children of Israel.” Understanding this will help us clear up any cultural confusion about these people. “Were There ‘Jews’ in Egypt at the Time of the Exodus?” Study Notes VF-2418 Some Materials Referenced in these Study Notes including DVD's are available.

Many people are confused about the terms “Hebrew,” “Semitic,” and “Jewish,” and about the origins of Judaism. Judaism is a much younger religion than most people think. It began after people from the Southern Kingdom returned from the Babylonian captivity. God’s people did not always have the same religious practices. Who is who, and who the land of Israel belongs to, is more complicated than we might think. “Unfolding the History of Judaism” Study Notes VF-2416 Some Materials Referenced in t...
