BIBLE STUDY LESSON 11

SERIES R --- THE GOOD SHEPHERD

COST OF COMMITMENT

A KING’S TROUBLED CONSCIENCE

From Mark 6:14-29

The news of Yeshua spread everywhere, even to King Herod. Some people were saying, [John the Baptist has risen from the dead. That’s why He can do such miracles.] Others said, [No, this is Elijah.] And still others said, [Yeshua is a prophet like the prophets who lived long ago.] But when King Herod heard about Yeshua he said, [This man is John the Baptist! Even though I had him beheaded, he has come back to life again.] Herod had personally ordered the arrest and imprisonment of John the Baptist. When Herod had married Herodias, the wife of his brother Philip, John had repeatedly told him, [It is wrong for you to marry your brother’s wife.] Because of this, Herodias hated John and thought of ways to have him killed, but none of them seemed to work. King Herod was afraid of John, for he recognized that John was a godly man, and therefore Herod kept him safe from Herodias’ evil plans. Herod enjoyed listening to John, even though the things that John told him caused him to be disturbed. At last Herodias found the opportune time to put her evil plans to work. Herod gave a big party on his birthday and invited the leading men of Galilee, along with the military officers and government officials. Herodias’ daughter danced for Herod and the other men. Herod was so pleased with her performance that he made a rash promise. [What do you want?] Herod asked. [I give you my word that you may have anything you ask, even half of my kingdom.] Immediately the girl ran to her mother, Herodias. [What should I ask for?] she wondered. [Ask for the head of John the Baptist,] Herodias answered. The girl hurried back to Herod. [Give me the head of John the Baptist on a plate,] she said. [Now!] Herod was sad when he heard this. But he had given his word before his guests and could not refuse. Herod sent a guard immediately to bring the head of John the Baptist. The guard beheaded John in prison and brought his head on a plate and gave it to the girl, who then gave it to Herodias. When John’s disciples heard about this, they took his body and laid it in a tomb.

COMMENTARY

THE OSSUARY

In Bible times, several generations of one family frequently used a single tomb. Instead of burying each individual in a separate grave, the body was sealed in the family tomb immediately after death. After the flesh had decayed and only the skeleton remained, the tomb was reopened. The bones were collected and put in a small box called an ossuary. This box was then set on one of the special shelves carved out of the wall of the tomb. It was placed beside the ossuaries of the other members of the family who had died. This left the main part of the tomb empty for the next time it was needed, and made it possible to bury many people in a small area of land.

"Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?"

First Century Christianity update June 9

Shalom!

YAH willing, Triumph In Truth will be hosting an outdoor Shabbat
Water-immersion Gathering at 2PM this Shabbat (06/10) at:

La Raza Park
On the corner of N7th St and Selig
Montrose, CO 81401

We will then take a short drive to water immerse at:

Taviwach Park
2355 Air Park Way
Montrose, CO 81401

Thank you for carefully reading the following information as all the
details are important. You are welcome to call a member of the team at
423-457-0899 if you need directions or have any questions

Here's a list of things to bring:
* Lawn chair
* Water
* Bible
* Pen and paper

We have water immersion robes to wear over your clothes and appreciate
everyone adhering to the following:

* Men wear jeans or other long pants (Men will be immersed in their long pants)
* Women wear a long (non-transparent) skirt and a shirt that doesn't
cling or become translucent when wet or a dress of similar sort
* A towel
* A change of clothes if you don't want to travel wet

Triumph In Truth encourages biblical modesty (Deuteronomy 22:5,1
Corinthians 11:5), however there is no harsh, judgmental attitude. We
will be publicly praying during our immersions, so the ministry has
available brand new (never been used) bandanas for head-coverings for
the women (1 Corinthians 11:2-16). If you have your own, that's fine
as well. We are returning to the ancient (biblical) paths, so modesty
is very important.

As for doctrine, G. Steven Simons does not embrace Greek or western
philosophy or quote Roman bishops to determine his understanding of
Elohim. He believes what Yeshua taught in John 17:3, "And this is
everlasting life, that they should know You, the only true Elohim
(speaking of the Father), and Yeshua Messiah (the anointed One) whom
You have sent." He believes in Elohim (the Father), the Creator of
heaven and earth, and the Son of Elohim (Yeshua), the Mediator between
Elohim and men, the man Yeshua Messiah - conceived through the spirit
of YAH, born of a virgin, and filled with the FULL measure of the
spirit of YAH. He also believes that the Father places His set-apart
spirit (breath, wind, ruach) within those who believe in His Son
Yeshua and ask to be filled. At the immersion you will be calling on
YAH (the Father) to forgive your sins in the Name of Yeshua Messiah as
in the book of Acts.

Be praying and prepare your heart for a powerful, transformative experience.

Yours for the Reign,

Triumph In Truth

Just as Aaron and the people sanctified the Levites as a substitute for the firstborn of Israel, John the Baptist (a son of Aaron) sanctified #yeshua before the people as a substitute for the whole nation of Israel. (Matthew 3:13)

The Aaronic priesthood and the Levites was necessary to sanctify the Tabernacle AND the people in the wilderness (Numbers 8 ). The Melchizedek Priesthood of Yeshua is necessary to sanctify the Tabernacle OF the people in his Kingdom (Matthew 3:15).
