DR HOLLISA ALEWINE – Footsteps of Messiah Part 5 (The Beast, the Priest, and the Feast)
This week we are taking a closer look at the beast as it pertains to the sign on your doorpost (mezuzah), as well as the concept of a nation of priests who are expected to conceal themselves on a particular side of the door on the night of destruction. These priests should be busing themselves with a particular activity namely the feast of Passover which we’ll unpack in greater detail in this week’s epsiode.

DR HOLLISA ALEWINE – Footsteps of Messiah Part 4 (To The Gate)
The time of the voice of the final Turtledove King Messiah is represented by this familiar passage from Isaiah:
How pleasant are the footsteps of the herald upon the mountains announcing peace, heralding good tidings, announcing salvation. (Is 52:7)
This is why the birthpangs of Messiah are also called the “Footsteps of Messiah.” In the darkest night of mankind, Messiah’s footsteps may be heard upon the mountains, which represent the nations, and he is announcing salvation to the Fig Tree.
Mark Call – Parsha “Vayechi” teaching from Shabbat Shalom Mesa

DR HOLLISA ALEWINE – VAYIGASH (Who Are These?)
The lesson is the first half of a teaching entitled “Who are These?”, which explains Jacob’s question to Joseph when he blessed Ephraim and Menashe. In fact, the blessing upon the male children is taken from this week’s Torah portion.
The Father is building Jerusalem quickly, even in our days, so when will we return to comfort Rachel, who is weeping for her missing children? If you knew your earthly mother was weeping until you returned to her, then how fast would you drive home? How many times would Yeshua have gathered us to Jerusalem, but we would not?
