Gideon Levytam examines the Parable of the Moneylender where Jesus the Messiah teaches a self righteous Pharisee of God’s forgiveness, even towards a former prostitute who by faith turned to God, repenting of her sins.
Gideon Levytam presents the third covenant that God made with men, called The Noahic Covenant. This third covenant was made after God’s judgment on the world by flood, wherein God promised Noah that none of his descendants would ever again be judged by a flood of water. God also gave Noah a sign of His covenant, by placing a bow in the cloud. Genesis 9:1-17
Gideon Levytam explains the important teaching found in the Parable of the Seed Growing of Itself. In this parable, Jesus the Messiah declares that when God’s Word is faithfully preached, the Holy Spirit will work in the hearts of the hearers, causing His Word to grow and bear fruit.
Gideon Levytam presents the second covenant that God made with Adam, called The Adamic Covenant. This covenant, which pronounced judgement upon satan, Eve, and Adam, was unconditional. God promised sinful Adam and his descendants that He would bring into the world the sinless Redeemer, the Messiah, miraculously born to a virgin, called the seed of the Woman. Genesis 3:14-19
Gideon Levytam shows how in the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats, we see Jesus the Messiah informing His Disciples of the future final judgment of the nations.

Gideon Levytam presents the first covenant, called The Edenic Covenant, that God made with Adam. The covenant was conditional upon Adam’s obedience. Sadly, his disobedience plunged the whole human race into sin. Genesis 1:26-31, 2:15-17
In the Parable of The Talents, Gideon Levytam explains the charge that Jesus the Messiah gave His disciples, to be diligent and responsible in serving God, based upon their abilities.

From Romans 6:12–15, in his study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam continues to share Paul’s teaching on sanctification. In these verses, Paul instructs the forgiven believers in Rome, and all who believe in the Lord Jesus the Messiah, to live for the Lord by yielding the members of their bodies as instruments of righteousness to God. Because of God’s grace in forgiving their sins through Yeshua the Messiah, God’s people are called to respond in obedience and not continue willfully to live in sin.
From Chapter 5:5–11 of the study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam highlights Paul’s testimony to the overwhelming love of God for all humanity. Shaul (Paul) wrote to the Roman believers that the evidence of God’s love for the world was demonstrated when Jesus the Messiah came down from heaven, took on human form, and offered Himself as a sacrifice to God, a sweet-smelling savour. Paul emphasized three key truths: (1) when we were without strength, in due time Messiah died for the ungodly; (2) while we were still sinners, Messiah died for us; and (3) when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of His Son. Through the Lord Jesus the Messiah, believers are reconciled to God, both for time and for eternity.
From Romans 6:6–11, in his study of the Book of Romans (אֶל־הָרוֹמִיִּים), Brother Gideon Levytam continues to expound on Paul’s teaching regarding the subject of sanctification. In his exhortation to the Roman believers, Paul repeatedly uses the word “knowing” to emphasize their positional standing before God, a reminder to them, and to all believers, that they now belong to the Lord Jesus the Messiah. Although believers in Jesus the Messiah are still living in this world, they are to know and understand that through the Messiah’s death, their old sinful identity was also put to death before God. Furthermore, because they are united with Jesus the Messiah in His resurrection, they are called to live for God, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
From the Book of Zechariah (זְכַרְיָה), Brother Gideon Levytam examines the powerful and comforting message the Lord gives the prophet in verses 14-16. This passage reveals the very heart of God for His people and land, beginning with a declaration of His fierce, covenantal love. Brother Gideon explains the term "great jealousy" (קִנְאָה גְדוֹלָה), not as a human flaw, but as God's passionate and protective fury for Jerusalem and for Zion.
This divine jealousy is directly contrasted with God's deep displeasure toward the Gentile nations who, in their ease, went far beyond their role as instruments of discipline and cruelly "helped forward the affliction." The direct result of God's passionate heart is a promise of restoration: He declares His personal return to Jerusalem "with mercies" and gives the divine assurance that His house, the Temple, will be rebuilt in it.
From Chapter 9:20 to 10:3 of the study of the Book of Esther (אֶסְתֵּר), brother Gideon Levytam directs us to the final events recorded in the book of Esther. God’s super-natural protection of His people Israel was evident when Haman’s plan to destroy all the Jews was miraculously forfeited. Queen Esther and Mordecai sent letters to their people throughout Persia, proclaiming the celebration of the joyous feast of Purim, with words of peace and truth. King Ahasuerus imposed tribute on all his people, and he declared the greatness of Mordecai the Jew, advancing him to be second in the kingdom of Persia. Mordecai was accepted by all the people of the land and by his Jewish brethren, he continued to seek the welfare of his people, speaking peaceably to all his seed.
