Open Door Series Part 1 features Keith Johnson speaking on the topic of "Discovering Common Ground." Johnson relates the fascinating beginnings of his prophetic friendship with Nehemia Gordon. A dream led Johnson to Jerusalem in search of a Torah scroll and ultimately to an encounter with Gordon, who taught him to read the sacred text in its original language, history, and context. The duo’s unique partnership illustrates the “mixed multitude” that stands with Israel and the God of Israel as the people fulfill their destiny as a light to the nations.

Keith: It is such an honor to be here.
The reason I'm mostly honored is that the Creator of the Universe is once again calling us back to His mountain. And something amazing happened at His mountain. He called a mixed multitude of people out of a place of bondage to a place of freedom. What I love about this meeting here today is that I sense there are people here that know Egypt. There are people here who really understand Egypt. How many of you all would raise your hand and say, “I've been to Egypt”? The good news is this - we are coming out.
But here's the shocking thing about what the Creator of the Universe is choosing to do. He's deciding to use people, places and things, that those that are in the place of what's called "false power" do not know and do not understand. He's choosing to call people in ways that are not normal to the normal folks. He's doing something that I call unique. Now, the reason I know this is because it happened to me. And now, 10 years later, I'm laying in my bed this morning, and He's saying to me again, “Keith, I'm at it again. I'm orchestrating, I'm pulling together, I'm bringing together a beautiful symphony.”
And what He did for me is that He took me to a place called Colorado Springs. And in Colorado Springs, He took me up to a mountain called Pikes Peak. And as I was on the mountain called Pikes Peak, I said a prayer that radically changed my life.
The prayer was simply this: “Father, teach me to love what You love.” And I'd like to tell people that I should have stopped right there. But I added a second half. I said, “And teach me to hate what You hate.” And He raised His hands. And He began to do this. And He began to show me the things that He loved, and then He showed me the things that He hates.
A year later I find myself sleeping, again. And I had a dream, say "dream". And in this dream, there was a scroll flying over my head. And there was a lady's voice that said, “If you can tell me where the scroll will open up, you win a million dollars.” I quickly said, “Ezekiel chapter 1 verse 3.” The scroll came down, it opened up and immediately I woke up and heard this voice: “I have not changed My appointment with you to be in My city for Shavuot.” I don't even think I really understood what Shavuot was.
I woke up, went downstairs, told my wife Andrea. I said, “Andrea, I've been called to Jerusalem for the time of Shavuot in historic times, Pentecost, and I must go.” Now, something happened to me very deep. It was a deep passion that I had for that last year while I was trying to relearn Hebrew, because in seminary I had learned Greek and I'd learned Hebrew, but I was trying to relearn Hebrew, and as I was trying to relearn Hebrew, I had come across Psalm 119, and I said that's where I'm going to try to learn it in Hebrew. And I'm in Psalm 119 for a year. But there was something deeper. I had a passion to own my own Torah scroll. You all, I would go so far as to say this - I had been given vision to receive my own Torah scroll. Now, I've learned something, and I like to say it everywhere I go. Whenever… say “whenever”.
Crowd: Whenever.

I am desperate to find a ‘quote’ by Martin Luther, that your book claims he made about “Hebrew being like a spring, and Greek like the stream ..” But I am not finding it in ANY of his literature.
Thank you your are my night spiritual moment, and in the morning my morning spirutual moment, I learn to love Yehovah. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this series. Cannot wait to get to the rest of the teachings.
i’m going back for seconds, this was great.
I have been waiting all my life to hear the truth,thank you nehemia.Please pray for my family
Such revelations, for such a time as this… WOW! I’m so very excited for The Kingdom of YeHoVah! Baruch Haba B’Shem YeHoVah!
Three Men with different and very distinct experiences have been brought together to raise up, the Remnant of Israel from not one denomination but from them ALL. Mr. Rood, Mr Johnson, and Mr. Gordon, Thank you for all you are doing to spread the truth through the entire world.
I sincerely want to encourage everyone to earnestly pray for YeHoVah to teach them to love what he loves and hate what he hates. To Open their eyes, ears, and hearts to YeHoVah’s spiritual things and to receive HIS understanding of His spiritual things. We no longer can sit back silently, it is time to sound the shofar of the name of The Most High God, El Elyon, YeHoVah!
Next I want you to consider giving and contributing to all three of these men’s ministry’s. Even if you can not give money you can further The Kingdom of YeHoVah by speaking HIS Truths through referencing scripture and using these Men’s Ministries as a reference. I myself am not a great speaker, but I can always find a teaching by either of these men and encourage those I talk to about watching.
May YeHoVah, our Father and Yeshua Ha’Mashiach give you all His Blessings and great Shalom of Heart and Mind.
Living in Belize, Central America we felt radically alone in our new grasp of the importance of Torah, despite the fact that we were raised Pauline Christians. We havr shed so much doctrine and it is incredible confirmation to hear and see the testimonies of others in this growing movement of restoration of truth. Yeshua is calling the nations into His Fathers covenant, despite how the Catholic church has long twisted abd supressed His true teachings!!!!!
Such a refreshing, tireless search for the “TRUTH” and the deeper meaning of God’s written WORD and not what man makes it out to be. The two different perspectives represented in your research is wonderful. I would love to receive your teaching in my in-box on a regular basis, perhaps weekly. Any plans for such an offering?
I would love to get a copy of the music to teach my children. Please tell me where to find it.
Can you please post a transcript of this video?
Hi Karl, Send me an email and let’s schedule something! Nehemia
Hey Keith! How do I get you and Nehemia back to Phoenix? Really enjoyed out time together, even if you couldn’t get a word in edgewise. Blessings.
Thank you very much. I like this very much. So where do we sign up for the Hebrew lessons?
God bless you both. May you live for ever!
this is some awesome stuff !
Keith Johnson relates the fascinating beginnings of the prophetic friendship between himself and Nehemia Gordon. A dream that led Johnson to Jerusalem in search of a Torah scroll ultimately led him to Gordon who taught him not only to read the sacred text, but to mine its beauty and perfection. The duo’s unique partnership illustrates the “mixed multitude” that stands with Israel and the God of Israel as the people fulfill their destiny as a light to the nations.
