The Eyes of Faith | 5 Minute Torah #Shelach | Shalom Macon Have you ever trusted what you could see... only to discover you were completely wrong? In Parashat Shelach, twelve spies entered the Promised Land. They all saw the same giants, the same cities, and the same challenges. Yet ten returned in fear while two returned in faith. What made the difference? At the end of the Torah portion, God commands Israel to wear tzitzit—tassels on the corners of their garments—as a reminder to obey His commandments. At first glance, these two stories seem unrelated. But hidden in the Hebrew text is a fascinating connection that reveals why the spies failed and why God gave Israel the mitzvah of tzitzit. Could it be that the greatest danger isn't what our eyes see—but how our hearts interpret what they see? What happens when fear becomes our lens for reality? How often do we allow circumstances, emotions, or appearances to speak louder than God's promises? In this week's 5 Minute Torah, we'll explore the surprising connection between the spies, the tzitzit, and the battle between faith and fear. Discover why God's Word—not our feelings, fears, or perceptions—must shape the way we see the world. 📕 GO DEEPER in Rabbi Damian Eisner's Newest book from  ⁨@firstfruitsofzion⁩  The Heart of Moses: https://amzn.to/4eaenOY 📘 Pick up a copy of one of Darren's books (also available in Europe): 📕 Four Responsibilities of a Disciple: https://amzn.to/3S9FZ8q 📕 Four Responsibilities of a Disciple (Spanish): https://amzn.to/3gUIqyB 🆕 Spirit of the Law: https://amzn.to/4mnfWKc 📚 5 Minute Torah, Volume 1: https://amzn.to/3VzepUR 📚 5 Minute Torah, Volume 2: https://amzn.to/3s560uM 📚 5 Minute Torah, Volume 3: https://amzn.to/3s6SYx4 📗 Cup of Redemption Passover Haggadah: https://amzn.to/4iuokpc 📙 Tefillot Tamid Siddur: https://amzn.to/3s5R5Au 📘 Eight Lights Hanukkah Devotional: https://amzn.to/3yPZqfy --on Barnes&Noble: https://ift.tt/dJQlo32 ❤️ Ways to Support Shalom Macon: Tithe.ly | https://ift.tt/TYrkeQ5 PayPal | [email protected] Text "GIVE" to [phone] Chapters: 00:00 - Food for Thought 00:28 - 3 Things You Need to Know About the Torah Portion 03:10 - Messianic Commentary on the Torah Portion Important Links to Follow Discover Jesus in His true Jewish context with The Jewish Jesus series here: https://ift.tt/vLC0wGq Explore the Repaving the Romans Road series for the deeper Jewish context of salvation here: https://ift.tt/LpZsWQV Get into the 5-Minute Torah series for quick, powerful insights into the weekly Torah portion here: https://ift.tt/v9BuY1s Su𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@Shalomacon/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Support Us Here! https://ift.tt/o3th0xN 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.

The Lord's Supper Isn't About Punishment, It's About This | Passover Covenant | Atonement Explained What if we’ve misunderstood the meaning of the Lord’s Supper all along? At the Table of the Lamb, the last supper, when John calls Yeshua Jesus “the Lamb of God,” was he pointing to punishment… or to Passover, covenant, deliverance, and shared life with God? Why does Yeshua frame His final meal around bread, wine, and covenant language instead of Yom Kippur imagery? And what did His disciples hear when He said, “Drink it”? In this teaching, Rabbi Damian explores the sacrificial grammar behind the Table of the Lamb — connecting Passover, Exodus 24, Sinai, covenant blood, John 6, and the prophetic promises of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Along the way, difficult passages begin to open in ways many believers have never considered before. As we head into Shavuot / Pentecost Download your free Shauvot Guide from Rabbi Damian Eisner and Shalom Macon and participate with us - https://ift.tt/ROq1GAt Could the cup represent participation instead of punishment? Could the Lord’s Supper be more about covenant life than guilt? And what does it mean that the Lamb gives His life to His people? This teaching challenges deeply rooted assumptions while expanding the biblical picture of atonement, covenant, sacrifice, communion, and the Kingdom of God.

Mercy Seat or Sacrifice? | The Missing Temple Context Behind Romans 3:25 | Shalom Macon What if one of the most quoted verses in the New Testament has been misunderstood? Romans 3:25 is often presented as the definitive proof that Yeshua died to satisfy God’s wrath. But what if Paul had something entirely different in mind? What if the key word in this passage doesn’t point to a sacrificial victim at all—but to the Mercy Seat itself? In this eye-opening epilogue to the Atonement Explained series, Rabbi Damian Eisner explores the meaning of the Greek word hilasterion and uncovers a fascinating connection between the Mercy Seat of the Temple, the Roman world of Paul’s audience, and the mission of Messiah. Did Paul see Yeshua as a sacrifice offered to appease God? Or as the meeting place where heaven and earth come together? What does the Mercy Seat teach us about atonement, reconciliation, forgiveness, and God’s desire to dwell with His people? If you've wrestled with questions about penal substitution, Romans 3:25, Isaiah 53, the Day of Atonement, Hebrews, or the biblical meaning of atonement, this teaching offers a perspective that may challenge assumptions and deepen your understanding of Scripture. Could the story be bigger than you've been told? Join us as we explore these questions together in The Mercy Seat. There is much more for you at shalomacon.org. Join the community!

The Mercy Seat | Shalom Macon LIVE Throughout the Atonement Explained series, several passages were repeatedly raised as supposed refutations of the framework presented in the series, especially Romans 3:25 and its traditional translation of “propitiation” or “atoning sacrifice.” So to help clear some of that up, Rabbi Damian Eisner is offering two final epilogue teachings to the series. What did Paul actually mean when he used this language? Was he describing punishment transferred onto Jesus, or was he drawing from the imagery of the mercy seat, the meeting place of God’s presence, covenant mercy, and restored access? In this bonus teaching, Rabbi Damian explores the Jewish and Roman background behind Romans 3:25 and shows how Paul’s imagery fits within the larger biblical story of covenant faithfulness, reconciliation, sacred space, and communion between God and humanity. Join Shalom Macon LIVE for worship, liturgy, music, and teaching as Rabbi Damian Eisner continues Atonement Explained with a message called "Life Conquers Death" in part 8 of the series. Atonement Explained is a new teaching series exploring sacrifice, atonement, grace, blood, and the role of Yeshua through the patterns of the Bible, asking whether popular Christian assumptions fully reflect the story Scripture is telling. ------ Shalom Macon is a vibrant community of Jewish and Gentile believers in Messiah Yeshua, gathering in person in Macon, Georgia, and online around the world.

Discipleship Explained | 5 Minute Torah #Beha'alotcha | Shalom Macon What if the problem isn’t that people aren’t hearing the truth… but that no one is staying long enough to help the flame grow? Parashat Baha’alotcha begins with a fascinating instruction about the menorah in the Tabernacle. Aaron was commanded to hold the flame to the wick until the fire could rise “on its own accord.” But according to Jewish tradition, this wasn’t just about lighting lamps. It was about lighting people. Too often, modern faith focuses on quick decisions, emotional moments, or counting raised hands. But is that discipleship? Or is it just a spark that fades as soon as the fire is removed? In this week’s 5 Minute Torah, we explore Rashi’s commentary on the menorah, the wisdom of Hillel, and the powerful connection between the soul of man and the flame of God. What does it really mean to disciple someone? Why does genuine spiritual growth require investment, patience, sacrifice, and relationship? Maybe the goal was never simply to ignite a spark. Maybe the goal was to help the flame endure.

The Hidden Purpose of the Wilderness | 5 Minute Torah #Bamidbar | Shalom Macon Why does the book of Numbers begin with page after page of census data? Why would God dedicate so much space to counting people, organizing tribes, and preparing Israel for battle before they ever entered the Promised Land? In this week’s 5 Minute Torah, we step back and look at the big picture behind Parashat Bamidbar. What if the wilderness wasn’t wasted time? What if the preparation was part of the purpose? And what if the details we often overlook are actually helping us see God’s greater design? The Hebrew name Bamidbar means “In the Wilderness,” reminding us that Israel was living between redemption and promise—freed from Egypt, but not yet home. In many ways, that’s where we often find ourselves too. This teaching explores how the census, the arrangement of the camp, and the responsibilities of the Levites all point toward preparation, purpose, and seeing our lives as part of something far greater than ourselves. Are we just numbers in a list—or threads in the tapestry of God’s Kingdom? Watch now and discover why the wilderness may be shaping you more than you realize in this week's 5 Minute Torah. 📕 GO DEEPER in Rabbi Damian Eisner's Newest book from  ⁨@firstfruitsofzion⁩  The Heart of Moses: https://amzn.to/4eaenOY 📘 Pick up a copy of one of Darren's books (also available in Europe): 📕 Four Responsibilities of a Disciple: https://amzn.to/3S9FZ8q 📕 Four Responsibilities of a Disciple (Spanish): https://amzn.to/3gUIqyB 🆕 Spirit of the Law: https://amzn.to/4mnfWKc 📚 5 Minute Torah, Volume 1: https://amzn.to/3VzepUR 📚 5 Minute Torah, Volume 2: https://amzn.to/3s560uM 📚 5 Minute Torah, Volume 3: https://amzn.to/3s6SYx4 📗 Cup of Redemption Passover Haggadah: https://amzn.to/4iuokpc 📙 Tefillot Tamid Siddur: https://amzn.to/3s5R5Au 📘 Eight Lights Hanukkah Devotional: https://amzn.to/3yPZqfy --on Barnes&Noble: https://ift.tt/p87bGf6 ❤️ Ways to Support Shalom Macon: Tithe.ly | https://ift.tt/3V1PTOp PayPal | [email protected] Text "GIVE" to [phone] Chapters: 00:00 - Food for Thought 00:39 - 3 Things You Need to Know About the Torah Portion 03:18 - Messianic Commentary on the Torah Portion Important Links to Follow Discover Jesus in His true Jewish context with The Jewish Jesus series here: https://ift.tt/zGWbAqD Explore the Repaving the Romans Road series for the deeper Jewish context of salvation here: https://ift.tt/k4MIiC2 Get into the 5-Minute Torah series for quick, powerful insights into the weekly Torah portion here: https://ift.tt/mgDpe52 Su𝐛𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬. https://www.youtube.com/@Shalomacon/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Support Us Here! https://ift.tt/870OPga 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.

Did Jesus Die In Our Place? Or Have We Misunderstood? | Atonement Explained What if we've misunderstood the cross? For generations, many believers have been taught that atonement is primarily about punishment, wrath, and payment. But what if the Scriptures tell a bigger story? What if Yeshua's mission was not merely to die instead of us, but to go ahead of us? In this concluding message of the Atonement Explained series, Rabbi Damian explores a radically different way of understanding atonement—one rooted in participation rather than substitution. Drawing from Leviticus, Romans, Hebrews, John, and the work of Andrew Rillera (The Lamb of the Free), this teaching challenges common assumptions about sacrifice, blood, holiness, and the purpose of the cross. What does it mean that we are "crucified with Messiah"? Why does Paul repeatedly speak of being buried, raised, and suffering with Him? What if atonement is less about escaping punishment and more about receiving an indestructible life that overcomes death itself? This message may challenge long-held beliefs, but it invites us to consider a profound question: Did Yeshua go instead of us... or ahead of us? Watch, study, and join the conversation.

The Torah’s Most Mysterious Ritual | 5 Minute Torah #Nasso | Shalom Macon Could one of the Torah’s most confusing commandments actually contain one of its most profound messages? This week’s Torah portion introduces the mysterious test of the sotah — a ritual so unusual that it sounds almost unbelievable to modern readers. Bitter water, dust from the Tabernacle floor, erased Divine Names, and a miraculous verdict from God Himself. But beneath the surface of this difficult passage lies something surprisingly beautiful. Why would God create such an elaborate process? Why would He allow His own Name to be dissolved into water? And what does this ritual reveal about jealousy, suspicion, trust, and the restoration of broken relationships? The Torah’s goal was not merely judgment — it was shalom bayit, peace within the home. In a world filled with mistrust and fractured relationships, this ancient ritual points to the incredible value God places on reconciliation, faithfulness, and restoring what has been broken.

Rabbi Proves the Messiah? | Shalom Macon #Bibleprophecy #isaiah53 The famous phrase "He was wounded for our transgressions," most of us automatically translate that little word "for" to mean "instead of" such as in Isaiah 53. Did you know that in the New Testament and the original languages, "for" actually carries a much wider range of meaning? If "for" always meant a strict substitution, verses like Ephesians 3:1—where Paul is a prisoner for the Gentiles—would mean he was locked up instead of them, which doesn't make historical sense! As we dive deeper into the text, we have to look past our modern assumptions and ask the ultimate linguistic question: what kind of "for" are we actually looking at here? ------ There is much more for you at shalomacon.org.

Did God Punish Yeshua? | Isaiah 53 - The Suffering Servant | Atonement Explained What if we’ve been reading Isaiah 53 through the wrong lens the entire time? In this powerful installment of Atonement Explained, Rabbi Damian takes on one of the most debated passages in the Bible: the Suffering Servant of Isaiah 53. Was Yeshua punished instead of us… or is something far deeper happening in the text? Why does Isaiah describe the servant as carrying griefs, sicknesses, and sorrows? Why does Peter say Messiah suffered not merely for us, but as an example for us to follow? And what if the cross is less about divine wrath being satisfied… and more about God overcoming death through faithful suffering? From Joseph’s betrayal to the Exodus, from the Hebrew meaning of musar to the prophetic imagery of healing and restoration, this teaching challenges deeply rooted assumptions while remaining anchored in Scripture. Could the cross be about vindication instead of vengeance? Could Isaiah 53 be telling a bigger story than many of us were taught? Watch now and wrestle with one of the most important questions in the Bible. Join us as we rediscover the Table of the Lamb. There is much more for you at shalomacon.org.

The Table of the Lamb | Atonement Series | Shalom Macon What if we’ve misunderstood the meaning of the Lord’s Supper all along? When John calls Yeshua “the Lamb of God,” was he pointing to punishment… or to Passover, covenant, deliverance, and shared life with God? Why does Yeshua frame His final meal around bread, wine, and covenant language instead of Yom Kippur imagery? And what did His disciples hear when He said, “Drink it”? In this teaching, Rabbi Damian explores the sacrificial grammar behind the table of the Lamb — connecting Passover, Exodus 24, Sinai, covenant blood, John 6, and the prophetic promises of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. Along the way, difficult passages begin to open in ways many believers have never considered before. Could the cup represent participation instead of punishment? Could the Lord’s Supper be more about covenant life than guilt? And what does it mean that the Lamb gives His life to His people? This teaching challenges deeply rooted assumptions while expanding the biblical picture of atonement, covenant, sacrifice, communion, and the Kingdom of God.
