Transcript [00:00] Did you know that Jesus was Jewish? You [00:03] might be asking, "What does that mean [00:04] for your Christian faith?" Watch today [00:06] and discover how understanding the [00:09] Jewish roots of your faith and your [00:11] connection to Israel and the Jewish [00:13] people can transform your life and the [00:15] way you read the Bible. Coming up on [00:18] Jewish Voice. [00:24] Shalom and welcome to Jewish Voice. I'm [00:27] Rabbi Jonathan Bernest and I'm with my [00:29] co-host and dear friend Scott Vul. Right [00:33] now we're in a glorious part of the [00:35] Jewish calendar, the fall feasts. Sukkot [00:39] lands this week and it's a time that [00:42] reminds us of God's care of the [00:45] Israelites as they wandered through the [00:47] desert. Sukkot invites us to rejoice in [00:51] his presence. And it's also an ancient [00:54] feast that we as Messianic believers [00:57] know points directly to Yeshua, Jesus [01:01] the Messiah. So, let's get right into [01:03] it. [01:03] >> Well, first we got to rejoice, Scott, [01:05] because this is the only feast. And by [01:08] the way, feast is the is a moad. It's a [01:10] moad. It's an the moad are the appointed [01:13] times. [01:13] >> Yes. [01:14] >> And this is the Hebrew cycle of the [01:16] year. Leviticus 23 begins with keeping [01:20] Shabbat and then goes through the cycle. [01:22] >> Wow. [01:23] >> Uh in Hebrew in the Hebraic world, [01:26] everything is circular. Yes. We're more [01:28] linear. Yeah. [01:29] >> The Greeks are linear. We're circular, [01:31] right? History keeps repeating itself, [01:33] right? And the holidays keep repeating [01:35] themselves. This is the final holiday of [01:38] the year. It's called It's the fall [01:40] feasts. We have the spring feasts [01:42] beginning with Passover and we have the [01:44] fall feasts ending with Sukkot. [01:48] >> Amazing. [01:48] >> So there's six with Shabbat. So there's [01:50] seven and there's three. There's a [01:52] break. There's three and that's the end [01:54] of the year. And they coincide, [01:57] interestingly, with the with the coming [01:59] of Jesus and the return of Jesus. The [02:02] holidays are actually, as it says in [02:04] Hebrews, types and shadows of things to [02:08] come. [02:08] >> Amazing. And this holiday is explicitly [02:11] commands us to rejoice. Amazing. So [02:13] we're rejoicing. Say, rejoice in the [02:15] Lord always, everyone. Yeah. And again, [02:18] I say rejoice. [02:19] >> And and you mentioned the word moadeem, [02:21] which is really appointed times. It's [02:23] God's appointment with his people. So [02:26] we're living in a physical season right [02:28] now in a time when God is desiring to [02:32] meet with his people. So, even though [02:33] it's pointing to something yet future, [02:35] we're living in a time and I believe [02:36] it's a it's a great moment to really [02:39] believe and ask the Lord uh not only as [02:42] we rejoice, but just to ask him to be [02:45] real to us. He desires to be more real [02:47] to us than we desire him to be real to [02:49] us. [02:50] >> Yes, he does. He wants to dwell among [02:51] us, which is part of the idea of Sukkot. [02:54] So we're going to bring together in just [02:56] a few minutes the connection between the [02:59] biblical holiday of Sukkot and the [03:02] connection to the New Testament and to [03:05] our faith because Sukkot is is very [03:08] significant in the New Testament as well [03:11] as the Old and prophetically. Yeah. [03:13] >> That's that's the amazing thing too. It [03:16] is also a prophetic picture of what's [03:18] yet to come. [03:19] >> Yeah. In the return of Jesus to this [03:21] earth. Fantastic. So let's look at the [03:23] biblical let's put this up on the screen [03:26] now. So looking now together at [03:27] Leviticus 23:42 and 43 just an excerpt [03:30] of the command for observing Sukkot. You [03:34] shall dwell in booths or tabernacles [03:36] depending on your translation. For 7 [03:39] days that your generations may know that [03:41] I made the people of Israel dwell in [03:43] booths when I brought them out of the [03:45] land of Egypt. So in addition to [03:49] rejoicing and and this is only an [03:52] excerpt from the passage in Leviticus 23 [03:54] and other places in the Torah that talk [03:56] about sukkot but the main point is [03:59] you're dwelling in the suka in the [04:01] tabernacle. Sukkot is plural so that [04:04] your children will remember the exodus [04:06] out of Egypt. It's the same motif as [04:08] Passover. [04:08] >> Same motif. And I love that God cares [04:11] about he's generational. He wants our [04:13] children to know which is so beautiful [04:16] because the father at Passover gets to [04:18] tell the children at Sukkot the children [04:20] know that God provides. If he provided [04:23] for our forefathers he'll provide for us [04:25] now. But the interesting thing is even [04:27] though it reminds us of the wandering of [04:30] Israel and how God provided for them. [04:32] Sukkot is also significant really for [04:35] all the nations the non-Jewish nations [04:38] which is prophetic [04:39] >> which is really really prophetic. In [04:40] Zechariah [04:42] 14:16 [04:44] it says, "Then everyone who survives of [04:47] all the nations shall go up year after [04:50] year to worship the king and keep the [04:54] feast of booths or the feast of [04:55] tabernacles." This is a little bit [04:57] remarkable to me because many people [04:59] wanted, you know, non-Jewish people say, [05:01] "Oh, we don't have to celebrate the [05:02] feast." Well, I have some news for you. [05:05] after Yeshua returns, Jew and and [05:08] non-Jew alike, all those who believe in [05:10] the Messiah, we're going to Jerusalem. [05:12] >> Yeah, think about this. I don't I'm not [05:13] into that Jewish thing. I'm not into [05:15] Jerusalem. I'm not into Israel. But [05:18] prophetically, Zechariah 14:16 says that [05:21] the nations, you know what the word for [05:23] nations is? Gentiles. It's the same word [05:25] in Hebrew, the The Gentiles will [05:29] have to go to Jerusalem physically and [05:31] worship the King. Who's the king? Jesus. [05:34] Yeshua. [05:36] Why is he king? Because he's leading the [05:38] world out of Jerusalem. It's the [05:40] millennial reign. It's the messianic [05:42] age. It's a prophetic picture of the [05:45] final Sukkot or the Sukkot of the [05:47] millennial period or the messianic age [05:50] where the Gentiles, not the Jews were [05:52] required to through it's one of the [05:54] pilgrimage feasts. Meaning that three [05:56] times a year at at at Passover at [05:58] Shàuote and Sukkot at at Passover, [06:01] Pentecost, and the feast of tabernacles, [06:04] the Jewish men had to go back to [06:06] Jerusalem. But here it says not so in [06:08] the millennial. It's not just the Jews, [06:10] but the millennial reign will include [06:12] the nations. That's you. [06:14] >> Amazing. [06:14] >> That's you, many of you who are [06:15] watching. So, don't buy into [06:17] anti-Israel. Don't buy into anti- [06:20] Zionism. Don't say God is finished with [06:22] the Jewish people. Don't buy into the [06:25] Old Testament is done away with. That is [06:27] a big mistake. Read Zechariah 14:16. You [06:31] will be summoned to Jerusalem on Sukkot [06:35] to keep the feast of Sukkot and worship [06:38] the king whose name is Yeshua who [06:41] happens to be the king of the Jews. [06:43] >> I love it, John. Amen. Amen. It this is [06:45] for the nations. It's not just for [06:48] Israel. I love that God has provided for [06:50] Israel through the generations, but we [06:54] uh the church, those grafted and get to [06:56] share in this together. I love this. [06:58] It's such an amazing picture. If you [07:00] throw Israel out the window, you're [07:01] going to regret it in heaven. You're [07:03] going to regret it in the millennium. [07:05] You really are. We're only going to [07:07] scratch the surface on this today. We [07:09] don't we don't have that much time to [07:10] cover it. But [07:12] >> thankfully, I've recorded it all in the [07:14] celebrating Sukkot, the feast of booths. [07:16] And guess what? We're offering it for [07:18] free. [07:18] >> Amazing.

We have 90 ministry [10:35] partners in in Israel and the [10:39] congregations, 300 congregations, more [10:41] than 300 now, Scott, in Africa that [10:44] we're supporting every single month.

Now let's get back to [11:42] talking about Jesus and Sukkot because [11:45] Sukkot [11:46] >> points to Jesus also. What have we we [11:49] last s uh last session we talked about? [11:52] >> Yeah, we talked about taking seven days. [11:54] We talked about in the Torah uh how [11:57] Jewish people were to commemorate this [11:59] so that their children and their [12:01] generations would know. We mentioned a [12:03] little [12:03] >> it's looking back at Egypt. [12:04] >> It's it's looking back and seeing how [12:06] God provided for our people which he did [12:09] back then. he's doing now and he will do [12:11] forever which is absolutely and [12:13] completely beautiful. But there's also a [12:16] a remarkable fulfill partial fulfillment [12:19] of the feast of uh booths when Jesus [12:24] comes up. It might be a very specific [12:26] fulfillment uh even more specific than [12:29] some people realize because many believe [12:33] and I know this is a little [12:34] controversial but I'll throw it out. any [12:36] believe that Jesus was actually born on [12:39] Suekot. Born on Sukkot. And I'm not [12:42] throwing any any uh condemnation at at [12:46] December 25th at Christmas, but it's [12:49] very possible that he wasn't born on the [12:51] 25th of December, but was actually born [12:54] on Sukkot. [12:55] >> Yeah. Interesting. Well, that reminds me [12:57] of the scripture from the book of John. [13:00] John 1:14 says, "The word became flesh [13:03] and dwelt among us." And that word dwelt [13:07] in Hebrew is tabernacles. And this the [13:11] feast of tabernacles, Jesus Yeshua [13:13] becoming flesh and actually tabernacling [13:17] among men. So completely remarkable. [13:20] >> Yeah. The idea that Yeshua becomes flesh [13:24] and dwells among us. The word is [13:26] tabernacles among us literally. So that [13:29] that is one possibility. And there's [13:32] others that talk about dwelling. God [13:34] will dwell physically among his people. [13:37] There's a number of different scriptures [13:38] that talk about that. And the idea is [13:41] that that confirms that [13:43] >> that he tabernacles among us is he's [13:45] born at Sukkot. But even if he's not [13:47] born at Sukkot, it still is the idea [13:50] that the tabernacle of God, that's [13:53] actually a scripture that says the [13:54] tabernacle of God is now dwelling among [13:56] us. learning about Sukkot actually makes [13:59] the scriptures come to life and I'm [14:01] reminded of that time that Jesus when he [14:03] said if any man is thirsty let him come [14:06] uh maybe you can expound on just why [14:09] that is even related to Sukkot it almost [14:11] seems like this out of left field if any [14:14] if anyone is thirsty John 7:37 if anyone [14:17] is thirsty let him come to me and drink [14:19] rivers of living water will flow from [14:22] within them uh in the context of Sukkot [14:25] is pretty remarkable Yep. And this is [14:28] where you don't understand the fullness [14:30] of what the gospels are saying until you [14:34] go back to Sukkot and understand that [14:36] this statement that Jesus is making is [14:38] at Sukkot in the templeing during the [14:41] water ceremony. [14:42] >> There's a the pouring of the water [14:44] ceremony at Sukkot. Why? Because this is [14:48] thanking the Lord, rejoicing for the [14:50] final harvest. [14:52] >> Wow, [14:52] >> Scott. This is a harvest festival, [14:55] people. This is a harvest festival, not [14:57] just a harvest festival. The final [15:00] wrap-up festival uh of the harvest. And [15:03] the harvest is the harvest of wheat. [15:05] >> Wow. [15:05] >> What is wheat symbolic of in scripture? [15:07] >> In in the parables of Jesus, there's [15:10] wheat and tears. The wheat are souls. [15:12] >> Amazing, [15:13] >> right? The wheat are souls. This is the [15:15] final in gathering of the harvest of [15:18] wheat where they're rejoicing and [15:19] they're pouring out the water. Why? So [15:21] there's rain in coming years. so that [15:23] there there's not famine. They're [15:25] rejoicing. They're thanking God, [15:27] believing God for the great harvest in [15:29] future years, thanking him for this year [15:31] of the wheat harvest. And it's [15:34] prophetically the harvest of souls. Let [15:36] me show you where. Matthew 24:31. [15:42] Look at it now and see what it says. And [15:45] he will send his angels with a loud [15:47] trumpet call. What does that remind us [15:49] of? Suk uh it reminds us of Yom Terua [15:53] Rashashana the be the beginning of this [15:56] which is all connected then Yom Kapor [15:58] the repentance and then what is what did [16:00] the that happens after the trumpet call [16:02] he will gather his elect sometime after [16:05] the difference between Rashashana [16:08] through Yom Kapor to Sukkot and they [16:10] will gather the elect from the four [16:12] corners from one end of the heavens to [16:16] the other that's harvesting that's the [16:19] harvest of souls and it connects to [16:21] sukkot when Yeshua proclaimed I am the [16:25] the the the water that will cause you to [16:28] never thirst again it's in the context [16:30] of sukkot that final in gathering is [16:32] connected to the final in gathering of [16:34] souls it's talking about sukkot [16:35] >> we cannot understand what Jesus is [16:38] saying unless we really understand uh [16:41] the miracle the miracle of [16:43] >> sukkot it's so amazing types and shadows [16:45] of things to come yeah [16:47] >> and unless you understand sucod quot and [16:50] the other holidays you don't fully [16:51] understand. You don't understand the [16:52] lamb of God. [16:53] >> Yeah. [16:53] >> Who takes away the sins of the world. [16:55] You don't understand the high priest who [16:57] makes atonement for us once and for all, [17:00] the book of Hebrews without [17:01] understanding the Torah and the [17:03] prophets. [17:03] >> So beautiful, John. So beautiful. This [17:05] is a season of rejoicing, especially for [17:08] Christians and Messianic believers [17:11] because we know Yeshua. We know Jesus [17:15] truly God is with us. He really is. You [17:19] know, for me, that's especially evident [17:22] when people take the opportunity to be [17:25] the hands and the feet of Jesus. When we [17:28] come back, I want to show you just a [17:29] little bit of the incredible work our [17:32] partners are making possible around the [17:35] world. Stay with us. [17:37] >> Water is life, but imagine if your water [17:40] source looked like this. [17:42] >> But the water is very bad. And my [17:44] children all got sick. I got sick, too. [17:47] Thanks to your generosity, we provide [17:50] LifeStraw units that turn dirty river [17:52] water into clean drinking water. [17:54] >> We all love the way the water tastes and [17:57] it doesn't make us sick anymore. [17:59] >> When you give to Jewish Voice, you [18:01] provide clean water and introduce people [18:04] to the living water, Yeshua.

Now, I want to [22:06] introduce you to just a few of the [22:09] precious people whose lives were changed [22:12] because someone like you, our partner, [22:15] cared enough to give. Take a look. [22:20] When you partner with Jewish Voice, you [22:22] help change lives around the world, [22:24] providing clean water, medical care, [22:27] dental clinics, and practical support to [22:29] Jewish communities throughout Africa and [22:32] beyond. [22:33] In Israel alone, we partner with more [22:36] than 90 ministries helping young [22:38] mothers, Holocaust survivors, IDF [22:41] soldiers, recovering addicts, and many [22:43] others find hope and healing. And across [22:46] Africa, your support makes it possible [22:49] for us to hold medical clinics where [22:51] people who could never afford treatment [22:53] receive the care they desperately need. [22:56] People like Mechis. Thanks to our [22:58] generous partners, Mectis received [23:00] treatment for tuberculosis of the skin, [23:03] a life-threatening condition she [23:05] couldn't afford to treat on her own. [23:08] When you give to Jewish Voice, you help [23:10] the blind see again. [23:12] >> I was too afraid to go anywhere on my [23:14] own. I lived in constant fear that I [23:17] would get hurt just walking around my [23:19] own home. So, I just sat while my family [23:22] brought everything to me. Elmo has been [23:25] blind for 8 years with bilateral [23:28] cataracts. Today is a day that will [23:31] change her life. She received free [23:34] cataract surgery. [23:35] >> I'm so happy you have given us light [23:37] again. May your life be filled with [23:39] God's light. [23:41] >> See, when you give generously, you [23:43] restore sight to the blind. [23:46] Jesus spent part of his ministry doing [23:48] just that, and you can do that, too. [23:52] Your support helped Miriam choose life. [23:55] It's [23:55] >> so so so important what you're doing and [23:59] I know how much is impactful for their [24:01] life because impact my life and now I [24:04] get to change people life. [24:05] >> Now she helps other young mothers choose [24:08] life at the same partner ministry where [24:10] she herself found hope for a brighter [24:12] future. And back in Ethiopia, we saw [24:16] that same kind of life-changing care [24:18] through medical clinics serving children [24:21] and families with nowhere else to turn. [24:24] Muskev was severely anemic and could [24:27] have faced heart failure. [24:28] >> Now I can play with my friends again. [24:30] It's like I have a new energy inside me. [24:33] Thank you so much to the whole team. [24:35] >> When you give, you make moments like [24:37] this possible. Tenente came to our [24:40] medical clinic blind and left able to [24:42] see again. Now I can finally see my [24:44] grandchildren. [24:46] Thank you and may God bless you. [24:49] >> Alexander once lived on the streets of [24:51] Tel Aviv trapped in addiction. But his [24:54] life changed because someone came [24:55] looking for him with food, shelter, [24:58] faith, and a safe place to begin again. [25:02] I grew up without supervision. I was [25:05] left to myself on the street. I used [25:08] drugs for years and it wrecked me from [25:10] the inside out. [25:12] That is what this outreach does. They go [25:14] into the streets and parks feeding [25:16] people, praying with them, introducing [25:19] them to Yeshua, Jesus. And when someone [25:22] is ready, helping them find a place to [25:24] stay and a path into rehab. [25:27] >> I met people who believed in Yeshua, [25:29] Jesus, I said, I don't know why, but [25:32] something is calling me to you. [25:34] Eventually, I simply said, let's go [25:36] home. Today, Alexander has a family, a [25:39] new life, and now gives his time to the [25:42] very program that helped rescue him. [25:45] Because of your support, people trapped [25:47] in addiction are being fed, ministered [25:49] to, housed, and given the chance to [25:52] start again. [25:54] If you're not a partner yet, you can [25:56] help the blind see and show the love of [25:58] Yeshua to those in need. So, please [26:01] don't wait.

If you're thirsty today, there's [30:28] water available, living water. And his [30:31] name is Yeshua. His name is Jesus. [30:34] >> And the reason it's so important uh to [30:37] respond now is because when God gathers [30:40] up that final harvest of pe souls, he's [30:44] gathering up the elect. What does that [30:46] mean, elect? It means he's gathering up [30:48] those who have put their faith in him. [30:50] So don't wait. Don't say, "I'll just [30:52] I'll just make that decision before I [30:55] die." That'll be too late. It'll be too [30:57] late. So, now is the day of your [31:00] salvation. Scott, there's a lot of [31:02] people out there that have written to us [31:04] that have financial needs in particular.
