Hebrews 4:14-16 - Let Us Come Boldly Unto the Throne of Grace
From Chapter 4:14-16 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam highlights the encouraging council given to the Hebrew believers. Although they suffered persecution and had many needs, yet, they were called to remember that Jesus their Messiah Lord and Saviour, was risen, ascended, and now sitting at God’s right hand, taking His role as the great high priest. The Man Yeshua / Jesus who is now glorified, once walked here on earth, He fully understands all of our infirmities, being tested in all points just as we are, yet He sinned not. Therefore, God’s people are exhorted to come by faith, in prayer to God’s throne of grace, to receive mercy and grace in time of need.

Esther 3:5-15 - Haman Seeks to Destroy the Jewish People
From Chapter 3:5-15 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam expounds on the reality that God’s enemies always seek to do away with God’s people Israel and His purpose for them. In pride, Haman the agagite of Amalek was angry because Mordecai the Jew would not bow to him. In his anger, Haman sought to destroy all Mordecai’s people who live throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus. He chose the thirteenth day of the Hebrew month of Adar to be the date in which he would kill all Jews, young and old, children and women, in one day. By planning Jewish destruction Haman continued to do what his ancestors sought to do years earlier, when Israel came out of the land of Egypt, as it is recorded in Exodus 17:8, "Then came Amalek, and fought with Israel in Rephidim." God would preserve His people from all their enemies.
Hebrews 4:1-13 - Enjoy the Present Rest by Trusting Jesus the Messiah
From Chapter 4:1-13 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam directs us to the warning which the author of this letter gives to the Hebrew believers of first century. He reminds his Hebrew brethren of the need to continue-on in following the Lord Yeshua / Jesus the Messiah, even when they are miss-understood and rejected by their people. They were encouraged to enjoy a present rest by trusting their Messiah, and they are warned not to do what their forefathers did some years earlier when they harden their hearts. The Hebrew believers in Jesus the Messiah were encouraged not to follow the example of the unbelief of some of their forefathers, but trust God who knows all things and who's Word is powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 - Remember Now Thy Creator in the Days of Thy Youth
From Chapter 12:1 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes, (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam continues to direct us to the advice that king Solomon gave to his people of Israel. Solomon alerted the young generation not to forget God, but remember Him during their young age and follow God now when they are still young. It will not be too long before evil days and years will come. Old age will creep in and the pleasures of life will fade away. God alone is the One who can provide true pleasures which will satisfy our souls.
Esther 2:19 - 3:4 - The Service of Mordecai and the Promotion of Haman
From Chapter 2:19 - 3:4 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam points us to the conduct of Mordecai in contrast to the behavior of Haman the Agagite. Mordecai in his service and care for king Ahasuerus, preserved his life when he informed Esther of the plot to slay the king by his servants. At the very same time, Haman who was promoted by the king, sought for himself reverence and honour from all, yet Mordecai the Jew did not bow nor or give Haman reverence. From this portion of scripture we learn of the need to have our heart in the right place.
