Dr Hollisa Alewine – Footsteps of Messiah Part 150 (Walking on Water Part 1)
Passover:
Walking on Water
More specifically, Chag HaMatzah, or the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
Before I explain that, let’s begin with a not-rhetorical two-part question:
Why did Yeshua walk on water?
Why did the wind scare Peter?
Last week’s newsletter established the underpinnings of the WOW season (Walking on Water). Review:
The last watch of the night is a last opportunity to flee false security. It is the last opportunity to flee the people whose wicked agenda vexes the righteous Holy Spirit within. If one waits until the morning’s dawn to flee, he flees with nothing. Only the deeds of the righteous can follow them into the eternal Kingdom of Messiah, for those are the only eternally true and fit deeds.
The overturn of the cities of Sodom likely took place at Passover, for Lot baked unleavened bread for the angel of wrath.
The Wrath of the Lamb struck the cities of Sodom right at dawn, when Lot and his daughters reached safety and the last watch of the night becomes the past. Likewise, at dawn, after the strong East Wind completed its work of arranging the waters, the Israelites traveled through the waters to reach safety.
?The Israelites still had the flesh of the Passover lamb, bitter herbs, and matzah in their bellies. Having obeyed YHVH’s instructions, they were protected from the Wrath of the Lamb on Egypt and Pharaoh. All they had to do was Walk on Water, to escape to freedom. WOW!
So back to our question: why did Yeshua walk on water?

Mark Call – Torah Teaching for Portion “Pekudei”

Now Is The Time w/Rabbi Steve Berkson | Peace in a World Not His | Part 5
What is the source of our peace? Messiah Yeshua said, “My peace I leave with you, not as the world gives I leave with you.” If He is the Word (John 1:14), then it’s the Word of Elohim that brings peace to us. What can cause the Word not to take root in the soil of our...
