Mysteries of the Messiah

In this episode of Mysteries of the Messiah with Rabbi Jason Sobel, we explore one of the most blatant errors in the nativity scenes that decorate our homes and churches: the presence of the magi at the manger with the infant Jesus. Who were these mysterious people? When did they arrive in Bethlehem, and how would they even know to look for this baby King? @ShawnBolz joins us in discussing Christmas, modern prophetic, the star, and our time together in Israel. Some moments in time (like a journey to Israel) do more than inform your understanding, they transform your perspective. https://bolzministries.com/ https://www.fusionglobal.org/mysteries-of-the-messiah-podcast “Mysteries of the Messiah” is a podcast produced in partnership with Premier Israel.

Everybody loves a good origin story, and in this episode, Rabbi Jason Sobel describes Chanukah's origin (Hanukkah). We can sum up the essence of this Jewish holiday in two words: fighting and lighting. This celebration restores our hope, faith, and trust that our God is true to His word!  The light of Chanukah points to the light of Yeshua-Jesus the Messiah. Yeshua's light lives in you. You are the light. Have Courage and be strengthened, He is with you! Did you know that while Jesus never celebrated Christmas, He did celebrate Chanukah? Did you know that every significant event in Jesus’ life occurred on a Jewish holiday? Perhaps it would be helpful for us to think of these holidays not so much as Jewish, but God’s. These are God’s appointed times and, consequently, are relevant to all of God’s people. An examination of the origins of Chanukah will build your faith and spark a light in your soul that will shine brightly in a darkened world.  www.fusionglobal.org/mysteries-of-the-messiah-podcast Mysteries of the Messiah is a podcast produced in partnership with Premier Israel.

O Little Town of Bethlehem is a beloved Christmas carol. The description as “little” seems apt, as even the Prophet referred to it as the least among the clans of Judah (Mic 5:1 TLV). What we discover upon closer examination, however, is that this small village is overflowing with significance. Its very name speaks to the human soul’s deepest needs. It brings a sense of calling and possibility to us as we approach the holiday season. Pastor Chad Veach of ZOE Church Los Angeles  joins Rabbi Jason Sobel in talking about Israel and its indelible impact on his life and how it has transcended to impacting thousands of lives through his church. www.fusionglobal.org/mysteries-of-the-messiah-podcast Mysteries of the Messiah is a podcast produced in partnership with Premier Israel.

In this episode, Rabbi Jason Sobel builds from his teaching in episode 4, which explored the details surrounding where Yeshua-Jesus was born (not a barn) and who came to visit Him (not ignorant rabble). One of the signs the angels said to look for was a baby wrapped in “swaddling cloths.” Could this be more than a baby outfit and point to Yeshua’s prophetic destiny? Moshe Gabay and Marnix Van Ede join Rabbi Jason Sobel talking about the Holy Land and it's depth. “Mysteries of the Messiah” is a podcast produced in partnership with Premier Israel.

When you imagine Jesus in a manger what do you see? If the picture is based on popular artwork, you probably envision Him laying on a fluffy pile of hay, in a wooden box, and surrounded by all sorts of animals in a wooden barn. In this episode, Rabbi Jason Sobel unveils the oldest, undisputed truths of the Messiah’s birth…and they turn our images upside-down! Discover the authentic Nativity story and its rich meaning for your life today. We Are Messengers' Darren Mulligan joins us talking about the power of mercy!

One of the most outlandish claims of the Christian faith is that Yeshua Jesus was born of a virgin. The early believers seem to have considered this claim as essential, considering it appears in the two main historic Christian confessions: the Apostles' and Nicene Creeds. Rabbi Jason leads us through clues sprinkled throughout the Scriptures, confirming that this supernatural claim is biblical.

Christmas is a time for family. It’s no coincidence, then, that two of the Gospels begin the Nativity story with genealogies—lists of Yeshua’s ancestors. Rabbi Jason reveals not only why these ancestry lists are meaningful but how their structure is significant. And he also discusses how “letters and numbers” play a vital role in deepening our understanding of these Scripture passages.   We also welcome Kathie Lee Gifford to the show. Beyond their work together on the NY Times bestseller, The Rock, the Road, and the Rabbi, Rabbi Jason has developed a beautiful friendship with Kathie Lee over the years.
