1 Peter 2:11-12 - Walk Godly for the Sake of Unbelievers
In 1 Peter 2:11-12, brother Gideon Levytam directs our attention to the apostle Peter’s appeal to the scattered believers in the Lord Jesus the Messiah. Peter was appointed by Yeshua - Jesus, to be the apostle to his Jewish people, the circumcision, according to Galatians 2:7-8. In his love towards his suffering and scattered brethren, Peter wrote them two letters to encourage them during their trials. Peter charged them to live godly lives, not only for the LORD and for their own sakes, but also for the sake of the unbelievers. He further directs these suffering brethren to the wonderful person of their Lord and Messiah, the One who is the Shepherd and overseer of their souls.

Daniel 7:1-7 - Daniel’s Vision of the Four Beasts Which Came Up From the Sea
From Chapter 7:1-7 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam relays the vision that Daniel had in the first year of Belshazzar’s reign. In this unique vision, God shows His servant Daniel four great beasts coming out of the sea. One was like a lion, one was like a bear, one was like a leopard, and one was a dreadful and terrible unnamed beast. Through this vision, God reveals to Daniel how the rulers of this world will relate to and treat the people of Israel during the "Times of the Gentiles”, which began in the year 586 BC and will end after the seven-year tribulation period, known as Jacob's Trouble.
Ephesians 5:12-17 - Walk Carefully, Not as Fools, But Wisely
From Ephesians 5:12-17, Gideon Levytam points to Paul's appeal to the believers in Ephesus, to understand that they have a responsibility here in this world. The Ephesians, and all true believers in Jesus the Messiah, are called to live their lives carefully, not to be asleep spiritually, but to be awakened from spiritual dullness. Paul reminds God’s people to behave properly and redeem their time, because the days we live in are evil days. In every generation God’s people are called to seek the Lord’s mind and will for their lives.

From Chapter 6:18-28 of the prophecy of Daniel (דָנִיאֶל), brother Gideon Levytam emphasizes God's protection of His faithful servant Daniel. Realizing that he had been tricked into delivering Daniel into the lion's den, King Darius spent a sleepless night. The next morning, rising early he ran to the den and was overjoyed to find that Daniel's God had delivered him from the lions. King Darius then commanded that all those who had falsely accused Daniel be cast into the den of lions, and declared that all people, nations, and languages, were to fear the God of Daniel, because He is the living God.

Ephesians 5:5-11 - Walk as Children of Light
From Ephesians 5:5-11, Gideon Levytam continues with Paul's exhortation to the believers at Ephesus, to live their lives as children of light. Paul warned them not to be deceived by others, to understand that God’s wrath had come upon the world because of the sins of disobedience. By trusting in the person of Jesus the Messiah, they had entered into the eternal blessing of the kingdom of God, and were called to live their lives as children of light. Every true child of God, being led by the Holy Spirit of God in all goodness, righteousness, and truth, is called to produce fruit for God.
