Her Hebrew name was Hadassah, not Odessa (Esther 2:7). The name Esther in Hebrew is similar to the word for "hidden," though, intimating the hidden nature of God's hand at work in the events of the book.

We love Catholics. We have many Catholics in Torah Clubs around the world.

Thank you for the recommendation!

With God's help, soon and in our days.

@@firstfruitsofzion I am hoping the construction would begin late 2024 or early 2025. GOD willing everything will take place in its right time.

Shalom from Jerusalem!

Are we all still students? Can we all still be taught by God? Can His Holy Words still guide us to truth or do we think we know all? What would you do if you are shown prophecies in God's Word that show you that you have received a lie? What would you do if God's Word shows the future going in an exact opposite direction that you thought? Will you have ears to hear and eyes to see? Or do we see ourselves as teachers unable to learn from God's Word? What if God said that his temple will be build on this earth and be there for eternity? I know we were taught that eternity will be in heaven with golden streets, but will we be teachable enough to replace what we have learnt with what God says? Ezekiel 37:19 to 28 is very clear. The world will know He is God when His temple is among Israel forever. Is there room in your heart and love for the truth that we can be taught by God's Word? What if we are the fulfillment of Jer 16:19. What if the Word of God shows clearly that we inherited lies? Do you love Him enough to follow Him even if it means starting from scratch to learn His Word? If God's Word is true, then follow it even if you cry for weeks because of all the lies you were taught, but if God's Word is not true then Christianity is useless..... God's Word cannot be false, and every word uttered from His mouth through the prophets will come to pass. Which side of this truth will you be on?

The confusion comes in when trying to make each commandment equally applicable to every individual. That isn't how the Torah works, nor is that the instruction of the apostles. For instance, the Sabbath is made for man, and it is good for anyone to rest on the Sabbath. However, God told Moses, "You are to speak to the people of Israel and say, 'Above all you shall keep my Sabbaths, for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations'" (Exodus 31:13). The Sabbath as a sign (and the duty to rest) are given to Israel, not individuals from the nations. Similarly, the apostles imagined Gentiles hearing Torah "every Sabbath in the synagogues" but didn't include any Sabbath obligations in their list of requirements for disciples from the nations (Acts 15:19-21).

Amen!

May it be so!

No axe to grind, certainly not with people sincerely trying to follow God. Our criticism is squarely on bad theology, and our aim is to remove the confusion engendered by bad theology.

@@firstfruitsofzion Seemed to me like you guys had a pretty snarky, belittling attitude towards HRM beliefs throughout the entire podcast. You all might want to reflect on this temperament and adjust it for future podcasts about HRM.

You NEED to read your Bible

Start reading Ezequiel's prophecies about the temple in which Jesus will reing on the milenial reing. If you don't read your Bible and allow it to speak for Itself (I mean removing pre made concepts from Theology), you really won't be able to understand fully what the temple means to God and to creation.

Where is the command to build this physical temple? I am just curious. I haven’t studied enough or slept well for a while.

@@EdwardPrah, Exodus 25:8 states, “Let them make Me a sanctuary that I may dwell among them.” In its original context, this was a commandment to construct the Tabernacle. However, Jewish tradition has long interpreted this verse as an ongoing obligation for Israel to provide a dwelling place for God’s presence. This understanding is reinforced by historical actions: After the destruction of the First Temple, the returning exiles prioritized the construction of the Second Temple, viewing it as a direct fulfillment of this divine command. Moreover, Yeshua himself spoke of the Temple as “my Father’s house” (John 2:16), indicating its significant and rightful place in the spiritual life of Israel.

@firstfruitsofzion Thank you for the reply. I understood that the tabernacle on earth was patterned after what Moses saw from heaven. It's been a while since I studied that. I am curious how this fits with us being "living stones" and Yeshua being the Temple. Probably a discussion that can't be answered entirely in KZfaq comments. Do you feel that Jewish people who don't know Yeshua are missing this concept?

Where did you find the proohecie of the false messiah? I mean, I've never found it. And by the prophecies of Ezequiel, there will be a gentile construction on the direction of where al aqsa is now. Not saying it will be al aqsa, but it could be.

If we want the return of Jesus, then we should want the temple regardless.

​@@user-xp7ms4bx2r well said

Satan is an angel of God , not the enemy of God , basically God’s employee , so whatever God does will be just right , don’t need to worry so much than just let the Jews do their priestly thing , while we do our teshuva so the birth of Moshiah will be smoother !! I pray 🙏

The holy covenant was broken long ago and this will not please god

@@onlytimewilltell204 ur pessimism definitely doesn’t please God , how do u expect u are going to do Aliyah to Israel in the end of days with this kind of thinking??

The age is irrelevant, they have them. Keep your eye on temple mount, won't be today nor tomorrow.... but soon very soon, it shall be built.

Around September 15th this year they will be 3 years old because by the time they eea brought in israel 2022 September they wea 1 year old

​@@TheMooseintree14Zechariah 6:13 -14 says the temple will be built by the messiah who is the third Elijah...who is not yet revealed

@samuelkizito9195 tell me... what exactly was Zachariah referring to in 9:9. And you realize that already happened right? Historicaly that event already has taken place, I not going to use new testament scriptures, ill use your the old. Isaiah, jeremiah, Zachariah, Daniel. And many more speak of messiah. Ben Joseph and Ben David. One messiah two coming. Even rashi agrees. GOD BLESS ITS TIME TO UNDERSTAND.

@@samuelkizito9195 no there birthday September the 4th

You're right-it's not new when Christians intuit a disconnect between Acts and the church. Where the restoration efforts always fail is seeing Jesus and the apostles as Jews who taught repentance and the ongoing validity of the Land, People, and Scriptures of Israel. If Jesus is Jewish, that changes everything!
