Hebrews 8:7-13 - The New Covenant With the House of Israel and Judah
From chapter 8:7-13 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam recounts the author's explanation as to why God had to establish a New Covenant with His people Israel. The Mount Sinai covenant was a conditional covenant, and sadly it was broken because of sin. No-one could keep God’s Holy Covenant because all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Man-kind broke God’s Holy Law, and because we have inherited a sin nature, we have failed to submit completely to God’s perfect holy demands. In His wisdom and grace, God made a promise saying. Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah. Jeremiah 31:31. This New Covenant would not be based on people's ability to keep God’s Holy Law, but rather upon the death, burial, and resurrection of the promised Messiah who was to come. Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah fulfilled God's Word, becoming a sacrifice for the sin of the world, and through His own death and resurrection, established the New Covenant with His shed blood.

Romans 2:6-16 - God Gives Everyone What Their Actions Deserve
From Chapter 2:6-16 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam continues with Paul’s instructions regarding God’s dealings with sinful humanity. Because God is holy, He must judge sin. Yet, because God is love, He will forgive any who will repent and confess their sins. God can forgive sins, because the Messiah Yeshua, Jesus became a substitute for our sin and sins. Based on the Hebrew Scriptures, Paul taught that anyone seeking God's will, and believe on Him, God through Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah would grant that person eternal life. On the other hand, anyone who did not obey God’s truth and rejected the Lord Jesus the Messiah, who died for the sin of the world, would sadly face God’s righteous indignation and wrath. The divine order on earth according to Romans 2:9-10 is this. Tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the Greek, but glory, honour, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

Malachi 1:6-14 - God is Not Pleased With Impure Sacrifices
From the study on the Book of Malachi (מַלְאָכִֽי), chapter 1:6-14, brother Gideon Levytam points us to the longing of God for His people to respond to Him. Malachi, the prophet spoke to the people and the priests saying; A son honours his father, and a servant his master, if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you. While offerings were being offered by the priests of Israel, still God was not pleased when the sacrifices are not offered with a pure heart. The LORD charged His people when their hearts were not pure saying, ye brought offerings which were torn, lame and sick. I cannot accept this of your hand. Yet, the LORD promises that from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same, His name shall be great among those who honour Him.

Hebrews 8:1-6 - Yeshua, Jesus, a Priest Who Serves in the Heavenly Tabernacle
From chapter 8:1-6 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam directs us to the more excellent priestly ministry of the Lord Yeshua the Messiah, than the ministry of Levitical priests. As an high priest, He is presently seated on the right hand of the throne of God in heaven, serving as priest of the sanctuary in the true Tabernacle, which the Lord pitched in heaven. As opposed to the Tabernacle which men pitched on earth, which only served to be an example and shadow of heavenly things.

Romans 2:1-5 - The Goodness of God Ought to Lead Us to Repentance
From Chapter 2:1-5 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam relays Paul’s words to the Romans concerning the inexcusable guilt of all people before God. No person can ever judge or condemn others for wrong doing, because they must first condemn themselves, as we all fail and do wrong in so many ways. Paul shows us that no sinner will escape the judgment of a Holy God, who, one day will bring everything to light and will judge accordingly. Those who despise the goodness, forbearance, and long suffering of God, will be judged because the goodness of God aught to lead one to repent before God. Sadly, all who reject God are treasuring for themselves God’s wrath, which will fall upon them in the day when the righteous judgment of God will be revealed. So, we are all called to turn to God before it is too late.
