Romans 1:15-17 - I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Messiah
From Chapter 1:15-17 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam explains the heart of Paul towards the believers in Rome. Shaul / Paul not only assures the Romans that he longs to come to them, but that he is ready to come as soon as God opens the door. Paul emphasizes the truth that he was not ashamed of the gospel of the Messiah, because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah, is the only grounds for salvation. The righteousness of God was satisfied when the Seed of the woman, Jesus the promised Messiah, entered into this world just as it was foretold by the Hebrew prophets. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6. The Messiah Jesus, was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Romans 4:25.

Esther 8:1-17 - The Jews Had Joy and Gladness
From Chapter 8:1-17 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam relates how the sovereign God of Israel protected His people from their enemies. God would not allow Haman the Agagite to destroy His people, for in God's plan, the Messiah must come to the world through the Jewish people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11. While Haman himself was hung on the gallows, his evil plan to destroy all the Jews in one day still remained. Esther pleaded with King Ahasuerus to protect her people from destruction, and God in His providence caused king Ahasuerus to have letters sent to all the one hundred and twenty seven provinces in Persia, allowing the Jews to protect themselves from anyone seeking to harm them. Miraculously, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month Adar, no-one was able to harm the Jews, who had light, gladness, joy, and honour in their dwellings.

Hebrews 6:9-20 - Jesus, Our High Priest, Has Already Entered Heaven
From Chapter 6:9-20 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam relays the encouragement that the Hebrew author gives to his brethren. The Hebrews, as are all believers in Jesus the Messiah, are called to live their lives by doing things that accompany their salvation. God who is righteous, will not forget any good work, or any labour of love, done by His people. God made a promise to our father Abraham, swearing by Himself and saying, surely in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thee. Therefore, every believer who flees for refuge to Yeshua the Messiah, is called to lay hold of the hope that is set before him, because this hope is sure and is an anchor for the soul. Yeshua /Jesus our forerunner, has already entered into heaven, becoming our high priest for ever, after the order of Melchizedek.

Romans 1:8-14 - Paul's Perpetual Prayer for the Believers in Rome
From Chapter 1:8-14 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam points to Paul’s thankfulness to God for the faith of the Romans in Jesus the Messiah. Paul continuously made mention of the Roman believers in his prayers to God. He longed to come to Rome to be with the believers there and to establish them in their faith in Yeshua the Messiah. Paul, as a servant of the Lord Jesus the Messiah, sensed in his heart that he owed a debt to all people, necessitating his sharing the gospel of the grace of the Lord Jesus the Messiah with them.

Esther 7:1-10 - Haman Hanged on the Gallows He Prepared for Mordecai (אֶסְתֵּר)
From Chapter 7:1-10 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam directs us to the final ending of Haman. This event reminds us of the covenant which God made with Abraham in Genesis 12:3, I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. When King Ahasuerus and Haman came to Esther’s second banquet, the king asked Esther what her petition was, queen Esther begged for her life and the lives of her Jewish people, as they had been slated to be destroyed. King Ahasuerus demanded to know who would dare to presume in his heart to do this, than Esther pointed and said, the adversary and enemy is this wicked Haman. In his anger, the king commanded Haman to be hung on the very same gallows which he had prepared for Mordecai.
