Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 - Life Without God is Filled With Dissatisfaction
From Chapter 6:1-12 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes, (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam explains how king Solomon sees additional evils and dissatisfaction that takes place here in this world. Although one may receive riches, wealth, and honour from God, yet because of sin, their soul is not filled with good. One may live a long life, yet, throughout their life there is suffering and dissatisfaction. It is only when God is the center in one’s life that they can find satisfaction and fulfilment under the sun.
Hebrews 1:1 - Introduction to the Book of Hebrews (Part One) (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים)
An introduction from Gideon Levytam to the study on the Book of Hebrews, a letter to Hebrew believers in Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah. The Hebrew author presents the person of God the Son, Yeshua/Jesus, who became a man and entered into this world just as the prophets of Israel had predicted. He came in order to become a substitutionary sacrifice, taking away the sin of the world, thus providing redemption to all who believe. Yeshua the Messiah is greater than the prophets, the angels, Moses, Aaron, the priesthood, the covenants, the sacrifices and more, for He is greater than all.
Psalm 9:1-20 - David Looks Forward to the End of Days
From Psalm 9:1-20, brother Gideon Levytam relates how David praised God whole-heartedly for defending him against his enemies. David is looking forward to the time when his LORD, in the person of the Messiah, will dwell in Zion and His praises will be sung by His people Israel, as a testimony to all. The wicked who reject God will be judged, but the poor and needy who trust in the LORD will be remembered, and rejoice in the salvation of the LORD.
Ecclesiastes 5:8-20 - Naked You Were Born and Naked You Will Die
From Chapter 5:8-20 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes, (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam shares the advice that king Solomon gave to Israel concerning all the evil that takes place under the sun. Solomon points out that in this world there is much oppression, poverty, violence and the perverting of justice. Yet, the godly person’s attitude will cause him to realize that whatever he possesses, it is given to him by God. We all came naked into this world, and we will depart this world in the same way. Therefore, we ought to be thankful to God, enjoy the fruits of our labour, and not trust in our riches.
Daniel 11:42 - 12:1 - The Deliverance of Daniel's People
From Chapter 11:42-12:1 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam continues with the information the angel shares with Daniel regarding a confederation of kings who will come out of the east and north to war against the antichrist. The end times will culminate with a world-wide army which will gather together in the Promised Land, for a final battle which will bring an end to the antichrist and his followers. The angel of the Lord encourages Daniel with the promise, that with the help of the angel Michael, Daniel's people will be delivered, those who are found to be written in the book.
He That Keeps Israels (שֹׁומֵר יִשְׂרָאֵֽל)
From Psalm 83, brother Gideon Levytam presents before us the prayer of Asaph (אָסָף), a leading singer of Israel, who cried to God on behalf of his people. The 83rd Psalm (תְהִילִים), is an ancient Jewish prayer to God for His protection from their enemies who wish to destroy them. God said, "This people have I formed for myself, they shall show forth my praise". Isaiah 43:21. God’s enemies continuously say, come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be remembered no more. Psalm 83:4. Throughout history, satan, the enemy of God, has sought to frustrate God’s plan of blessing for this world, by influencing many to reject God and His plan of blessing by persecuting Israel and seeking its demise. In spite of satan’s attempts to destroy Israel, we can rest assured that “Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep”. Psalm 121:4

Ecclesiastes 5:1-7 - It is Better Not to Vow, Than to Vow and Not Pay
From Chapter 5:1-7 on the study of the Book of Ecclesiastes, (Kohelet-קֹהֶלֶת), brother Gideon Levytam relays how king Solomon warned Israel to remember who God is, and how they are to approach Him. God is the creator, He is in heaven and His people are on earth, God’s people are never to make promises to God which they do not intend to fulfill. It is better not to vow, than to vow and not pay. God’s people are called to have godly fear as they live their lives under the sun.
