Yom Kippur - The Day of Atonement (2024) (יֹום הַכִּפֻּרִים)
From Chapter 23:26-32 of the book of Leviticus (וַיִּקְרָא), brother Gideon Levytam shows the significance of The Day of Atonement, the sixth of the Seven Feasts of the LORD. In Hebrew, this feast is called “Yom Ha-kippurim” (יֹום הַכִּפֻּרִים), on this specific day, God provided a national atonement for Israel on the basis of the blood sacrifice. Once a year, on the 10th day of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, Israel's high priest could enter into the Holy of Holies, with the blood of the sacrifice which was offered to the LORD. On that day the high priest made an atonement for the people of Israel, because of their sins, the blood placed within the veil points to the blood sacrifice of Jesus the Messiah for the sin of the world. The Day of Atonement also points to Israel's future national regeneration, we read in Romans 11:25b-26, Blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, there shall come out of Zion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.

Esther 9:20 - 10:3 - Mordecai's Greatness and the Proclamation of the Feast of Purim
From Chapter 9:20 to 10:3 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam directs us to the final events recorded in the book of Esther. God’s super-natural protection of His people Israel was evident when Haman’s plan to destroy all the Jews was miraculously forfeited. Queen Esther and Mordecai sent letters to their people throughout Persia, proclaiming the celebration of the joyous feast of Purim, with words of peace and truth. King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on all his people, and he declared the greatness of Mordecai the Jew, advancing him to be second in the kingdom of Persia. Mordecai was accepted by all the people of the land and by his Jewish brethren, he continued to seek the welfare of his people, speaking peaceably to all his seed.

Hebrews 7:4-10 - Levi Gave Tithes to Melchizedek Through His Forefather Abram
From Chapter 7:4-10 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam instructs us concerning the greatness of Melchizedek’s priesthood. The Melchizedek priesthood, representing the priesthood of Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, is greater than the Levitical priesthood. Although Abram was a great man of God, even he gave tithes to Melchizedek, recognizing who Melchizedek was. Genesis 14:14-20. Therefore, the tribe of Levy, who are of the loins of Abram, also gave tithing to Melchizedek. We read, "And he (Melchizedek) blessed him (Abram), and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth." Genesis 14:19.

Romans 1:18-20 - God's Wrath Revealed Against All Ungodliness
From Chapter 1:18-20 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam relays the danger facing the human race. God’s righteous wrath is revealed against every person who lives a godless life, and holds God’s truth unrighteously. Every person born into this world is responsible to acknowledge their creator God and His eternal power. We were all born with a conscience within us and creation around us, which points us to our creator God and his eternal power and Godhead. Anyone who rejects God, and His authority over them, are without excuse. Sadly, they will have to face the wrath of God against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.

Esther 9:1-19 - Plans for the Destruction of the Jews Turned to Naught
From Chapter 9:1-19 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam points out the providence of God. The Lord purposed that through the Jewish people He would bring the promised Redeemer / Messiah into the world, and therefore, He would not allow their enemies to destroy them. While the Jews' enemies hoped to destroy them on the 13th day of Adar, things turned to the contrary, as the Jews stood together to stop their enemies from fulfilling Haman’s plan. The rulers of the provinces helped the Jews against their enemies, who eventually were defeated and Haman's ten sons were hanged upon the gallows as king Ahasuerus had commanded. Mordecai was promoted in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces. As for the Jews, the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, became days of rest, feasting and gladness.
