Episode 3 March 4, 2011.
Several years ago, Michael Rood was working on an apparent contradiction in the book of Matthew that had haunted him for years. He approached Nehemia Gordon, a textual scholar at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, who agreed to use his linguistic expertise to investigate the problem.
The revelations that ensued are thrilling the serious seekers of scriptural truth. Ancient Hebrew manuscripts of the Gospel of Matthew, guarded for centuries in the covert archives of Jewish synagogues, are now being brought to light. Early "church fathers" stated that Matthew wrote his Gospel in Hebrew, and now the seemingly contradictory Gospel records which have confused Greek Bible scholars for centuries, are finally harmonized in the Hebrew Matthew.
This 5-hour series details the epic discovery that clarifies the Gospel of the Kingdom that Yeshua taught his followers by both word and example. This revelation is shaking the Christian and Messianic Jewish world and is delivering believers from the nicolaitan system that Yeshua exposed and conquered -- yet is alive and well in the manipulative world of man-made religion.
Join Biblical historian Michael Rood and his guest, eminent Hebrew scholar Nehemia Gordon, for this exciting multi-media presentation: Raiders of the Lost Book - Discoveries in the Ancient Hebrew Texts of the Gospel of Matthew.
Thought for Today: Thursday July 10
As believers, we are not to isolate ourselves for world in which we live… The Old Testament prophets condemned those who ignored the poor and exploited the weak... As believers, we know human society is affected by sin, and any effort to improve society always be incomplete and imperfect. We will never build another Garden of Eden on earth, but we must do all we can to alleviate suffering, and to strike at the root causes of injustice, racial prejudice, hunger and violence… Yeshua saw the crowds and “was moved with compassion” (Matthew 9:36.) Our Moshiach is concerned about the whole person -- including the society in which that person lives. Do we share His concerns?
Are we tired of the lies, yet?

Raiders of The Lost Book Episode 3
I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf...
Romans 15:30 ESV
God isn’t a rock that can be moved merely by the application of greater force, but consider the Hebrews in Egypt. If one person prayed for rescue, he might have intervened for that person, but we would be unlikely to ever hear of it. If the Hebrews had prayed for the destruction of Egypt or for political power without leaving, he probably would not have responded at all. He might even have increased their oppression. However, when the whole nation cries out together for something that God very much wants to give them, he works great miracles that change the whole world.
God is pleased when his people are united and even more so when they are united in alignment with his will. There is power in the prayers of a single righteous man, but there is exponentially more power in the collective prayers of a righteous people.
This too is echoed by James when he wrote, "You ask, but you don't receive, because you ask wrongly."

When therefore I have completed this and have delivered to them what has been collected, I will leave for Spain by way of you.
Romans 15:28 ESV
We know from Acts 21 and onward that Paul was able to come to Rome eventually, but not on his way to Spain. His missionary trip to the Iberian Peninsula was interrupted by his arrest at the Temple in Acts 21:33. There is some debate about whether he was imprisoned in Rome once or twice and if he might have journeyed to Spain--or even further--in between. There are some traditions of Paul visiting Span and Britain, but no solid evidence.
I hope to see you in passing as I go to Spain, and to be helped on my journey there by you, once I have enjoyed your company for a while.
Romans 15:24 ESV
Most maritime trading routes between the Eastern and Western Empires passed through Ostia Antica, the major port nearest Rome. Having determined to take the Gospel to Spain, a stop in Rome wasn’t out of his way. In fact, it was probably unavoidable, and he wasn’t going to waste the opportunity to visit with the Roman assembly and possibly receive financial assistance from them to aid his mission.
Such journeys also usually took weeks or months to complete. A journey from Tyre to the Spanish Mediterranean coast would likely make a half-dozen or more stops along the way, not only to replenish supplies, but to engage in trade. The ship could be in each port for a few days to weeks--longer in larger ports like Ostia Antica--and passengers might wait or look for another vessel for the next leg of the journey.
