Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 36 – (Ekev: Something Old, Something New)
This week is the Torah portion Ekev, which is extensive, yet simplifies our walk with Yeshua. Want your enemies to flee? Just do this, the simple words from the Ancient of Days:
“Lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates, that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers to give them, as long as the heavens are above the earth.” (Dt 11:18-21)

Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Shabbat – Part 1 “What & Why”
Do you know and understand Shabbat (Sabbath)? Does Shabbat really apply to the people of today? Is Shabbat just “that Jewish thing?” When the word ‘forever’ or ‘perpetual’ is attached to Shabbat, does it really mean to the end of time and beyond? Rabbi Steve Berkson...

Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 33 – (The Dust of Jacob Pt 2)
We continue this week from where we left off last week in “The Dust of Jacob Pt2” Here we delve into where John writes about how the angels of the four winds held them back until the righteous were sealed. If the righteous are somehow in the Clouds of Glory, even in a preliminary gathering among the nations, their smoke of sacrifice and prayer would go straight up as in the Wilderness, unaffected by the four winds:
“After this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth, holding back the four winds of the earth so that no wind would blow on the earth, or on the sea, or on any tree.” (Re 7:1)
The stillness of winds upon the earth reflects what happened within the protection of Sukkot of Glory in the wilderness. The smoke of the altar fire went straight up, unaffected by the winds. The job of the four winds can be to gather, to scatter, vitalize, or simply hold still/stasis. ”Holding back” may be complemented by another angel’s mission of gathering. Typically, angels do one thing at a time, requiring multiple ministers to address multiple steps in a mission.
