Does redemption happen all at once, or is it a process? And is there anything we can do to help that process along? 

Hanoch Young would tell you that it is a process, and there are some things we should do as this process moves forward. That’s why he has just completed his twenty-eighth speaking trip to the United States since 2013, and why he ascends the Har Habayit – the Temple Mount – every week to pray at the site of God’s House of Prayer for all nations. 

In this interview, Hanoch tells us about his most r...

Our Creator promises several times in scripture that He will dwell with His people. That is an amazing promise, but have we pondered what it means? How do we live in the presence of God, and how do we act with others in His presence? These thoughts inspire this conversation with David Jones and Barry Phillips.

Could the modern Jewish State of Israel have been born without the Hebrew language? Maybe, but what language would the Jews from many nations who returned to their homeland have chosen if not Hebrew? That’s why Eliezer Ben Yehuda labored for forty years to resurrect Hebrew as a modern language. Ben Yehuda lived to see Hebrew established as the language of what was then called British Mandatory Palestine in 1922. Today, Jewish people and their allies around the world continue to be blessed by the fruit of his Zionist vision.

The vision of Ben Yehuda is what in...

Is it possible to be honest and yet not truthful? If that's so, then can a person be untruthful and not know it? As David Jones and Barry Phillips explain, this is ultimately a matter of the heart.

The God of Israel promises through the prophets and the apostles that those who put their trust in Him will become His people. When exactly does that happen? Is it automatic, or is there a process involved? That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones talk about in this conversation.

Does God make mistakes? If not, then why do some people say modern Jewish people are not the same as the Jews of the Bible? As Hanoch Young points out, if the Jews aren’t the real Jews, then God has brought the wrong people back to the land of Israel! That’s a key point in this concluding segment of our conversation with Hanoch about what the God of Israel is doing right now in fulfilling His promises to restore all of His people to the Promised Land.

In a sense, Israel is a type of ark...

Israel’s national elections are always complicated. Hanoch Young has participated in enough Israeli elections to know that there’s no way to please everyone with the political outcome. In this third part of our conversation, Hanoch shares his views on where previous Israeli governments have led the nation, and about what God is doing to advance His Kingdom purposes even when the politics seem to be going in the opposite direction. As he explains, Zion is the dividing line, both for Israel and for the world.

Hanoch says that all Jewish Israelis are Zionists, even though they...

Do we ever think about why we use particular words? For example, when referring to Jewish people living in the Jordan Valley, why do we call them settlers living in the West Bank? Why don’t we choose words that more accurately reflect who they are and where they live? If we did that, we would call them indigenous Judeans living in the communities of Judea and Samaria.

This is more important than we may realize, as Hanoch Young explains as we continue our four-part conversation. In this second segment, Hanoch shares the story of how he ca...

For Americans, September 11 is a day of remembrance among many days we have set aside as memorials. But what are we to remember? And what is the purpose of this remembering? Barry Phillips and David Jones start there in this conversation about the memorials our God has directed His people to establish.

Yeshua warned us about deception, but did he tell us how to know when we are deceived? If we don't know we're deceived, how can we be undeceived? These are questions David Jones and Barry Phillips consider in this conversation.

The people of God should be doing the things of God. Messiah Yeshua put it this way: "If you love me, you will keep my commandments." How do we do that? What exactly are his commandments? How are Yeshua's commandments different from the commandments Moses gave? Barry Phillips and David Jones have some thoughts on these questions.

Yeshua said he would seek and save that which is lost. What about those he has already found? Does he stop looking after them when they are safely in the fold, or is that when he is best able to see to their needs? This is one line of thought in the conversation Barry Phillips and David Jones share about Elul, the month when "the King is in the field."

Boundaries are important. We expect others to respect our boundaries, whether that means our personal space or our property lines. That's one way we are like our Creator. So what are His boundaries, and how do we respect them? These are questions Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this conversation.

Even a casual reader of the New Testament notices that the writers refer to passages from the Old Testament, or Tanakh. That means Paul and his contemporaries were aware of what Moses and the Prophets wrote, but did they have a deeper purpose and pattern in their writing that goes beyond simple quotations and references?

This is the line of thinking that motivated Bob O’Dell and his colleagues to look for patterns, or echoes, from the Torah in the Gospels and Epistles of the Apostolic Writings. What they found is astounding: the New Testament books precisely mi...

In the Proverbs we read that we're supposed to train up our children in the way they should go. If that means teaching them God's ways, then what do we do when God's ways clash with the world's ways? That's what David Jones and Barry Phillips investigate in this conversation.

What does salvation have to do with Israel’s return from exile to their ancestral homeland? What does Messiah have to do with the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Those are among the questions addressed in this third part of our conversation with Bob O’Dell about The Echoes Bible. Bob leads us through an investigation of the echoes from Leviticus 20 in Romans 10, and in the process uncovers a number of connections that provide depth and breadth to our faith!

And regarding our faith, is Bible study a manly activity? Barry Phillips and David Jones have some...

Is the New Testament a midrash on the Torah? Bob O’Dell suggests that’s one way to look at it. That’s an observation that has grown out of his work with The Echoes Bible, which uncovers the connections of New Testament writings with the works of Moses. As Bob explains, since Jewish scholars have been midrashing – discussing, theorizing, and postulating – on the Torah for centuries, it stands to reason that the Jewish writers of the New Testament would have done the same. That’s a thread that enlivens our conversation in this fourth part of our interview.

Regardi...

When we want to know the connection between the Levitical priesthood and the redemptive work of Messiah Yeshua, we might go to the book of Hebrews. Bob O’Dell, however, would suggest looking at the primary source, which is the book of Leviticus. Bob draws the connection between the commandments about priestly households in Leviticus, and Paul’s essay on God’s restored household in Romans. That’s one of many topics we cover in this final segment of our conversation about The Echoes Bible!

Here’s a hint: the connection Bob make concerns who can eat the holy t...

Is it possible that the Apostle Paul intentionally organized his letter to the Romans according to the topical outline of Leviticus? Bob O’Dell contends that Paul not only did that with Romans, but also with his other letters. That’s why he and his colleagues are publishing The Echoes Bible as a multivolume study tool to uncover these New Testament connections with the Torah! We dive into those echoes of Leviticus and Romans in this second of our five-part conversation.

One well-known echo in scripture is Yeshua’s reference in John 3 to the Bronze Serpent of Number...

Do we really have faith if we're not taking action on what we say we believe? That's the question Barry Phillips and David Jones consider in this conversation.

Is reality based on our perceptions, or is it the other way around? What do we do when our perceptions and reality don't line up? These are important questions - especially when our perceptions and God's reality seem to be at odds. That's the point of this conversation with Barry Phillips and David Jones.

One of the items to be addressed in the Messianic age is the enmity between Christians and Jews. These are the two halves of God’s Covenant People of Israel, identifiable in scripture as Ephraim and Judah. Isaiah tells us what their reconciliation will look like:

The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
Isaiah 11:13 ESV

Isaiah doesn’t tell us exactly how this will happen, which is why it’s wise t...

The Armor of God isn't complicated - or is it? Maybe there's more to what Paul meant when he described this spiritual armor in Ephesians 6. That's what David Jones and Barry Phillips discuss.

Ray Myers lives to praise the Lord. His journey has taught him some valuable, and often difficult, lessons about how to praise our Creator with every aspect of our lives. Ray shares the story of his walk with Yeshua – which includes some significant times of correction. Through it all, he has continued to write and sing songs of praise, worship, and biblical instruction. Lately he has learned how to incorporate Artificial Intelligence in his creative process, which has opened a new realm of possibilities through his AI persona, Under the Tallit.

Sometimes we hear revival described as fresh oil from our Heavenly Father. What if we've got that the wrong way around - as in, we provide the oil that keeps the fire burning before His Presence? If so, then where does that oil come from? That's what Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this midrash.

Don’t let anything stop you from exercising the creativity God put in you. That’s the message Ray Myers leaves with us in this closing segment of our conversation. As we have heard in the previous segments, Ray has lived that message through music, and is learning how to multiply his talents through the technology of Artificial Intelligence. We are blessed to hear three examples of Ray’s music as performed through his AI persona, Under the Tallit.  

A major part of Ray’s testimony concerns his journey of repentance, or teshuva, as he worked through trials an...

Yeshua opened the way for us to approach the Presence of the Almighty, but, as Barry Phillips and David Jones explain, that doesn't mean we can walk right in and sit on His lap.

Did you ever encounter God so profoundly that the earth began to shake under you? That’s how Ray Myers describes the continuing encounter with our Creator that has moved him to create worship music through AI persona, Under the Tallit. In this third part of our conversation, Ray talks through the legitimate questions God’s people should be asking about the technology of Artificial Intelligence. The fact is, it’s here to stay, so what would our Father have us do with it? 

The question really comes down to what Barry Phillips and David Jones ask in thei...

Psalm 19 says that the heavens declare the glory of God. What exactly does that mean? What do we gain from learning the story of the stars? Is that even permitted for followers of Yeshua? 

Yes, it is permitted, and even helpful for understanding the times. That's what Elder Mark Webb explains as he joins Barry Phillips in this special midrash series. In December 2020 and January 2021, Mark and Barry recorded three conversations about unusual astronomical activity occurring at the time of the controversy and division over the elections in the United States. What did these signs in the h...

If we don’t appreciate people misrepresenting us, what does God think about people who misrepresent Him? Misrepresenting God happens in many ways, such as when those who profess to know and follow Him act no differently than the rest of the world. That’s why Ray Myers says God insisted he become “squeaky clean” if he was going to represent his heavenly Father. That’s how Ray begins this second segment of our conversation. It’s not enough to walk in the gifts and anointings of God if we’re not faithfully bearing his image.

Is it possible that we don't see God move because He is waiting on us? It could be that our faith is too small, or maybe we're simply not understanding that He expects us to demonstrate our faith by taking action. That's the idea Barry Phillips and David Jones discuss in this conversation.
