Hebrews 7:4-10 - Levi Gave Tithes to Melchizedek Through His Forefather Abram
From Chapter 7:4-10 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam instructs us concerning the greatness of Melchizedek’s priesthood. The Melchizedek priesthood, representing the priesthood of Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, is greater than the Levitical priesthood. Although Abram was a great man of God, even he gave tithes to Melchizedek, recognizing who Melchizedek was. Genesis 14:14-20. Therefore, the tribe of Levy, who are of the loins of Abram, also gave tithing to Melchizedek. We read, "And he (Melchizedek) blessed him (Abram), and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth." Genesis 14:19.

Romans 1:18-20 - God's Wrath Revealed Against All Ungodliness
From Chapter 1:18-20 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam relays the danger facing the human race. God’s righteous wrath is revealed against every person who lives a godless life, and holds God’s truth unrighteously. Every person born into this world is responsible to acknowledge their creator God and His eternal power. We were all born with a conscience within us and creation around us, which points us to our creator God and his eternal power and Godhead. Anyone who rejects God, and His authority over them, are without excuse. Sadly, they will have to face the wrath of God against all ungodliness and unrighteousness.

Esther 9:1-19 - Plans for the Destruction of the Jews Turned to Naught
From Chapter 9:1-19 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam points out the providence of God. The Lord purposed that through the Jewish people He would bring the promised Redeemer / Messiah into the world, and therefore, He would not allow their enemies to destroy them. While the Jews' enemies hoped to destroy them on the 13th day of Adar, things turned to the contrary, as the Jews stood together to stop their enemies from fulfilling Haman’s plan. The rulers of the provinces helped the Jews against their enemies, who eventually were defeated and Haman's ten sons were hanged upon the gallows as king Ahasuerus had commanded. Mordecai was promoted in the king's house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces. As for the Jews, the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth days of Adar, became days of rest, feasting and gladness.

Hebrews 7:1-3 - Freedom From the Law's Condemnation Through Faith in Jesus the Messiah
From Chapter 7:1-3 on the study of the Book of Hebrews (אֶל־הָעִבְרִים), brother Gideon Levytam points us to the instructions given to the Hebrew believers concerning their responsibility towards the Law. God gave His Holy Law to His people Israel, so that they would live their lives in a godly way. But, because Israel, as all mankind are sinful by nature, no one could fully submit to the demands of God's Holy Law. Therefore, God commanded Israel to offer blood sacrifices, in order to atone temporarily for their sins, until the Messiah would come. Once Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah came, and fulfilled God's Holy Law in His life, death, and resurrection, He freed all who trusted in Him. Therefore, believers in Jesus the Messiah are now free from the Law and from the guilt and condemnation which would befall upon those who violated God's Holy Law.
Romans 1:15-17 - I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Messiah
From Chapter 1:15-17 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), brother Gideon Levytam explains the heart of Paul towards the believers in Rome. Shaul / Paul not only assures the Romans that he longs to come to them, but that he is ready to come as soon as God opens the door. Paul emphasizes the truth that he was not ashamed of the gospel of the Messiah, because the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus the Messiah, is the only grounds for salvation. The righteousness of God was satisfied when the Seed of the woman, Jesus the promised Messiah, entered into this world just as it was foretold by the Hebrew prophets. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all. Isaiah 53:6. The Messiah Jesus, was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification. Romans 4:25.
