What does it mean to have a “perfect” heart, when Scripture tells us that the heart is “deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked?” (Jeremiah 17:9)
How was David acknowledged for having a “perfect” heart, when he was guilty of sin?
These are some questions I want to spend some time with in Episode 22.
I also want to spend some time at the end of this episode to give you some updates on the future direction of this podcast.

Then one said to Him, “Master, are there few who are saved?”
And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say to you, will seek to enter and will not be able” (Luke 13:23-24).
What does it mean to “strive” to enter in through the narrow gate?
According to our Messiah’s words, striving and seeking are two very different things. Yahusha was not talking about those who aren’t seeking at all. He’s talking about the difference between those who are “striving” and those who are “seeking.”
This is worthy of some serious attention.
There is a word that I am constantly stirring over...it’s one that has created an inner turmoil for me that I know I need to continue to wrestle with and sit with. It’s a word that I cannot seem to shake:
“FEW.”
Many are called, FEW are chosen.
The path is narrow and FEW find it.
The harvest is plenty but the laborers are FEW.
Only a remnant is making it through the narrow gate that leads to life.
I want to share with you where my studies have led me in understanding what it means to truly STRIVE. I want to share with you why several Hebrew word studies have helped me better understand the call of Yahuah’s remnant—His covenant people. There have been many thoughts and several verses in Scripture that I’ve wrestled with over the last several months.
This wrestling for truth has afflicted me, disciplined me, humbled me and now I’m ready to strive with you over some hard, yet necessary truths.

Scripture speaks to the call to be a laborer for the harvest, one in which there are only very few who answer that call (Luke 10:2). While there is much in the Word that speaks to planting seeds, bearing fruit, putting your hand to the plow, I want to spend some time talking about the depth of what it means to “labor” for the harvest.
“Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek Yahuah till he come and rain righteousness on you. You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped lawlessness, you have eaten the fruit of lies because you trusted in your own way and in the multitude of your mighty men."
Hosea 10:12-13
We are called to labor for this harvest, to prepare the way of our King, and my heart breaks because I feel like the wickedness and lawlessness that has been plowed, sown, rooted and grown because of so many false teachings and traditions of men has created this “fallow ground” that Yahuah is instructing us to break up.
As the Parable of the Sower illustrates in Matthew 13, before any seed can be planted on “good soil,” we must foster the conditions necessary for the seeds to be planted in the first place. Any good gardener will tell you that there’s no use planting any seeds if the soil hasn’t been prepared first.
That’s one of the main reasons why I say that before anything can be planted, the hardened, cloddy soil (our heart) must be tilled first, the weeds (the lies) needed to be pulled from their root, and the stones (the stumbling blocks) needed to be removed.
To labor for the harvest is not just about planting seeds—it’s about how we cultivate the soil of our hearts as well as the hearts of those around us.
The call to labor will require you to get your hands dirty, the sweat of your work will be your tears, it will require you to rest, but we know that it will be worth it.
“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."
Psalms 126:5-6

There is so much to be said about this episode, yet I struggle to find the words to explain it.
If you’ve been listening to Season 4, you know that the core thread of these last 19 episodes is all about understanding what it means to be in covenant with our Creator.
We’ve done many Hebrew and Greek word studies, sifted through history, declared the goodness of Yahuah and His commandments, and have even painfully discussed why the Christian religion, broadly speaking, is in massive deception of understanding what Scripture says about Yahuah and His will for us. All that being said, I hope and I pray that throughout Season 4, Yahuah has ministered to your heart and showed you the depth of what it means to be a true disciple of the One who He sent in His Name to restore the everlasting covenant and reconcile us back to Himself.
The depth of this truth, and what He has done for me is something that is hard to talk about without bringing me to tears. I pray that the tears from this episode sow a seed in the hearts of many.

This is a heavy episode.

For those who are new to my podcast, please don’t start at Episode 17. You must start at the beginning of Season 4. You need to know what has brought me to the understanding that I have today about how the enemy has used Scripture to deceive the masses.

I’d like to be very, very clear that I am not and will never deny our Messiah. I love Him and our heavenly Father Yahuah with my whole heart, and I believe every word in Scripture was written with His very breath through the pens of those He chose as His vessel.

In that same breath as I write this, I also say this: Christianity is a false religion.

You may be wondering, “how can you say that you love the Messiah and believe the Bible, but you say that the Christian religion is false?”

My attempt to answer that question is laid out in Season 4, but is explicitly answered in this episode.

The word up for serious study in this episode is: IMAGE.

This episode is going to be a very deep dive study of some fundamental truths that the body needs to know. As you dive into this episode, please keep an open mind and take this to the Father in prayer.

I love you.

History unveils prophecy.

History connects the dots.

History fills in the lack of knowledge that people are perishing from.

History MATTERS.

But here’s the thing...

Not only does the body not know history, but the body has been told and taught a false version of history that has literally been written by the hands of people who have been used as vessels by the enemy for the spiritual captivity of our minds.

Yea—it’s deep.

In repairing this breach, we have to talk about history. This is not an easy task for those who love the truth, because the truth has been covered up. By the grace of Yahuah, He is helping guide my studies so that I can chew on the meat and spit out the bones. He is helping me read between the lines. He is helping me understand prophecy better as I understand the true narrative of history in terms of scriptural context.

The battle between Jacob and Esau is an everlasting conflict that will rage until the second coming of our Messiah. This is the lens that we must put on in order to understand prophecy and how history has played out its continual fulfillment and how this conflict has been a perpetual attempt to destroy the children of Israel.

I hope that Episode 16 will continue to help fill in some gaps and give you some key events, people, etc., to help you understand what has led to the deception that is being exposed today.

The reason this episode is particularly important is because it will help give us the cultural, religious and political climate that was the environment of the Hebrew people before and during the life of our Messiah. It paints the picture of what life was like in Judaea and the surrounding areas that were now under Roman control.

There is so much that will be discussed in this episode (just like the last episode). Instead of summarizing, it will be easier to give you the list of topics of discussion.

So, here they are:

• The rise of the Roman Empire
• Timeline of Roman Emperors from 1st century BCE – 1st century CE
• Historical events that occurred between 420 BCE and 1 CE
• The Maccabees & the Maccabean Revolt
• The Hasmonean Dynasty
• The Herodian Dynasty & Edomites
• The development of the Pharisees and Sadducees
• Implications and things to consider about the true Israelites and Edomites as it relates to prophecy

We are currently 15 episodes into Season 4: ‘Who is Israel?’ on The Promise Perspective Podcast, and we are far from finished with this season. As I have mentioned before, the topics discussed on this season have to be tackled at many different angles and layers. This is incredibly challenging for me, as I desperately want people to know the truth, but I also maintain my plea to not take my word for it.
We read in Hosea 4:6 that people are perishing from a lack of knowledge. One of the purposes of this podcast season is to help fill in some of these gaps.
One of the biggest reasons for this is because many people today have been taught to view history through a faulty lens; one that does not represent the truth of how the faith came to be what it is today. This is part of repairing the breach that I am trying to mend with my brothers and sisters today.
So, for the purposes of Episode 15, I want to discuss A LOT of history with you. Because there is so much that is discussed in this episode, instead of summarizing it all, I want to simply give you a list of what topics will be unpacked. Please also be sure to check out the ‘Supplemental Documents’ in the podcast episode description box for sources to help you test and study these things out for yourself.

Topics of Episode 15:

-The difference between a “Jew” (Strong’s H3064) and a “Jew” (Strong’s H3054)
-The emergence and influence of the Macedonian (Greek) Empire
-Hellenism
-The Phoenicians and Ancient Carthage
-The Ptolemaic and Seleucid Empires
-A revisiting of the lineage of the Hebrews and the “lost” tribes of Israel
-Serapis Christus and the origins of Christianity
-Who are the Natsarim?
-The next emerging empire: Rome

“Those from among you shall build the old waste places; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to Dwell In.”
