Greetings Tom, I saw one of your recommended commentaries on Mark by Amy Levine. Risking any political future I might hope for, I humbly admit every commentary in my library is male-authored. So I picked up a copy of "The Gospel of Mark" and am enjoying her intellect and wit. Thank you for all you do. Blessings, DjB

Hi Tom. Pslam 22 has to be one of my favorites! Thank you for taking the time to explain it so beautifully and in great detail. God Bless

His favorite song title “ I can’t get no satisfaction “?

Thanks for this intro to Acts, Tom!

Thanks Tom. Enjoyed listening. Irene

Yes, Tom, Cyrene (modern-day Shahhat, Libya) was located 500 miles west of Alexandria, Egypt, on Libya's Mediterranean. Cyrene was founded in 631 BCE by Greek colonists from the island of Thera; it became a vital cultural center and port of trade in North Africa. A large temple of Zeus was constructed there . . . and according to Herodotus (Book4 Chapter 199) the area was the highest in all of Libya, with rich soil producing bountiful harvests.

Great teaching. I am really blessed, God bless you

Wow!

I’m trying to get back into the routine of prayer and reading my bible every day. This is a great resource! Glad I found this channel. I particularly like the book of Esther. You mention gender roles, I find gender roles in daily life to be a fascinating topic of interest. Recently, I was studying the Japanese myth of Kiyohime and the character Ophelia from Hamlet. It’s funny to hear notes say “Ophelia and Polonius have a traditional 16th-century father-daughter relationship… Polonius believes that it is Ophelia's responsibility as a woman to protect her innocence and maidenhood. It was a common notion of the time when the play was written, which does not speak to a modern audience.” I’m also a fan of David Lynch movies but a few Feminist critics have cast aspersions on the way he portrays female characters with “the Jezebel spirit.”

Jesus told us to love one another. I think that would stop wars and we would be kind and helpful to others

Amen.✨

Thank you, Tom, for these lessons.

Thanks as always Tom. So appreciate your taking the time to make and post these videos!

Hidden in the word of Yahweh if you can receive it, the King of kings, Lord of lords isn't Jesus as people are taught but another Christ who will be confirming the 2nd covenant, mind blown the messiah could already be here...don't be thinking to yourself he'll come from country of Israel, no signs will be given but the sign of Jonah as Jesus said a wicked and adulterous generation seeks a sign 1 Timothy 6/13 I charge you, before God, who engenders life in all things, and Christ Jesus, who, before Pontius Pilate, witnessed the noble confession,14 That you keep the commandment without spot, free from reproach, until the forthshining of our Lord Jesus Christ-15 Which, in its own fit times, the happy and only Potentate will show-the King of kings, and Lord of lords Luke 10/22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. I will proclaim the decree: Yahweh said to me, 'You are My Son; this day I have generated you. Ask me and I will give the nations for your heritage and the uttermost parts of the Earth for your possession. You will rule them with a sceptre of iron; You will dash them in pieces like a potter's bowl.' -Psalm 2 Rev 2/27 that one 'will rule them with an iron scepter and will dash them to pieces like pottery' --just as I have received authority from my Father. Isaiah 13/1 The prophetic oracle concerning Babylon, that Isaiah, the son of Amos, saw. Skipped to verse 9, specifically verse 12 just left these verses for context its last days prophecy 9 'Watch now, the day of Yahweh is coming, stern, with fury and fierce anger, to lay the land desolate, and He will destroy its violators out of it. 10 For the stars of the heavens and its constellations will not give their light; the Sun will be darkened in its going out and the Moon will not cause her light to shine.(Gen 37/9) 11 'And I will punish the world for evil and the lawless for their iniquity and I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease and I will humble the haughtiness of the tyrants. 12 I will make a mortal more precious than fine gold, a man more than the golden wedge of Ophir. 13 'Therefore I will shake the heavens and the Earth will move out of its place in the anger of Yahweh Sabaioth and in the day of His fierce anger, 14 and it will be like the chased roe and like a sheep no man takes up; every man will turn to his own people and everyone will flee to his own land. Read Hebrews 9 someone has to die to confirm the 2nd covenant Heb 9/26 "He' then would have had to suffer often since the foundation of the world; but now, once at the end of the ages, He has appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of 'Himself'. 27 And as it is appointed for men to die once, but after this the judgment, 28 so Christ was offered once to bear the sins of many. To those who eagerly wait for 'Him' 'He' will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation." He He Himself Him He is the eternal Spirit, the means by which anointed Christ offered self to God. 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? 15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance. 16 For where there is a testament, there must also of necessity be the death of the testator. 17 For a testament is in force after men are dead, since it has no power at all while the testator lives. 18 Therefore not even the first covenant was dedicated without blood. I say the two witnesses are one, who confirm the 2nd covenant You probably already know but I'll say anyways to expound Christ means anointed and Jesus doing it through the Spirit lines up with what the apostles said in Acts 2/22 Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested to you by God with mighty works and wonders and signs that God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves know 1 Peter 1/3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 1 Peter 1/21 who through Him believe in God, who raised Him from the dead and gave Him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God. Now rev 6/2 I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest. Sounds alot like overcomer in rev 2 & 3 who is given iron sceptre and granted to sit on the throne of God and in rev 19 says the white rider with many crowns had a name no one knew but he himself, everyone knows Jesus's name and at end of revelation there are now two trees of life in the midst of the street so its saying in rev 11/8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified. The secret is that the witness is the Lord which no one knows and Jesus will not be dying again. This witness could pull a John 8/18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me." But insert Jesus sent me or both, remember when Jesus came in gospels it said he came to his own but his own didn't know him could be same thing God declares the end from the beginning.. In Gen 49 Israel gives blessings which will happen in end times 49/10 The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor a lawgiver from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes; And to Him shall be the obedience of the people. Jesus the lion of the tribe of Judah 49/22Joseph is a fruitful vine- a fruitful vine by a spring, whose branches scale the wall. 23The archers attacked him with bitterness; they aimed at him in hostility. 24Yet he steadied his bow, and his strong arms were tempered by the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, in the name of the Shepherd, the Rock of Israel, (white rider had a bow)(rev22/1) 25by the God of your father who helps you, and by the Almighty who blesses you, with blessings of the heavens above, with blessings of the depths below, with blessings of the breasts and womb. 26The blessings of your father have surpassed the blessings of the ancient mountains and the bounty of the everlasting hills. May they rest on the head of Joseph, on the brow of the prince of his brothers. Rev 22/1Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal,2930. krustallos From a derivative of kruos (frost); ice, i.e. (by analogy) rock "crystal" -- crystal.(Gen 49/24 the Rock of Israel flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2down the middle of the main street of the city. On either side of the river stood a tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit and yielding a fresh crop for each month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. Matches up with two sticks prophesy in Ezekiel 37 1 stick of Judah in hand of Judah and companions Israel and another in stick of Joseph in the hand of Ephraim and companions Israel than the sticks become 1 symbolizing the kingdom of God coming into fruition than you read about dry bones prophesy right after because the 2nd covenant would be confirmed by death of Joseph type see Gen 50/24-25 Many more verses and such I could expound on, check out the Prodigal son parable Psalm 78/2 I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning, Matt 13/35 This was to fulfill what was declared by the prophet when he said, "I will open my mouth to speak in parables. I will declare what has been hidden since the creation of the world. Revelation 2/17who is having an ear - let him hear what the Spirit saith to the assemblies: To him who is overcoming, I will give to him to eat from the hidden manna, and will give to him a white stone, and upon the stone a new name written, that no one knew except him who is receiving [it]. -Joseph John 6/53Jesus, therefore, said to them, ‘Verily, verily, I say to you, If ye may not eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and may not drink his blood, ye have no life in yourselves; 54he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, hath eternal life, and I will raise him up in the last day; -this is the Christ witness come in the flesh who has the Eternal Spirit and life in himself, the light of the world! 55for my flesh truly is food, and my blood truly is drink; 56he who is eating my flesh, and is drinking my blood, doth remain in me, and I in him. 57‘According as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, he also who is eating me, even that one shall live because of me; 58this is the bread that came down out of the heaven; not as your fathers did eat the manna, and died; he who is eating this bread shall live for ever. -he will confirm the 2nd covenant Heb 8/13 In saying, "new," He has made obsolete the first; and that which is growing old and aging is near vanishing. -still under 1st Covenant until confirming by resurrection Hence 'Lord, Lord' Matt 7/22‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’ 24“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: 25and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. -Joseph, the Rock of Israel (Gen 49/24) also the Ark of the covenant not made with hands rev 11/19Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple -when the witness dies in rev 11/11-13

Amen! Thank you Pastor Tom, for your message.

MSG, I am inviting opinion regarding Professor Tom’s question (last week) about "the nature of this threat?" to the Pergamanians, “Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will wage war against them with the sword of My mouth.” Rev. 2:16 (NASB). Is it possible that Christ, as is sometimes the case in Scripture (see verses below), did nothing (gave them over) . . . after all, the threat was the second death, not death on this earth. Psalm 81:12, “So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices.” Romans 1:24, “Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.”

Helpful start to a series I'm eager to learn from.

Amen!

Thank you Tom for a wonderful homily.

Professor Johnson, thank you for another 30 minutes of truth and wisdom, AND sharing the idea of a prayer/meditation timer. Blessings.

Thanks for this teaching! I just liked and subscribed. I hope my Christian music ministry TH-cam channel, "Adam's Road Piano," can be a blessing to you as well :) God bless!

I invite other students to share their thoughts and responses to one of Tom’s questions for this video. It made me question the merit of certain endeavors, specifically covenant and dispensational theology. 20.a What “theology” are the disciples supposed to teach? Where would they get that content?

Thank you, Tom, for doing these videos. I really appreciate your insight.

Thanks Tom. Such wisdom. Micah 6:8 has been a favorite of both of ours for many years

I got it. Thanks.

Thank you, Tom, for doing this.

It works well and people can always participate by making comments. 😊
