In this episode of Hebrew Voices #8 – Prophets, Priests, and Preachers, Nehemia continues a conversation with Anthony Garcia on the bank of the Jordan River. Garcia reads verses from the New Testament about the baptism of Yeshua, which is believed to have taken place a few feet away from where this episode was recorded. Verses in the Tanakh possibly related to Yeshua's baptism are discussed and we learn about Adoptionists—early followers of Yeshua who considered his baptism a turning point in his life and ministry. Gordon discusses the forbidden altar built along the Jordan by two and half tribes, and how an echo of the nine and half tribes’ displeasure (“What have you to do with the Lord God of Israel?”) can still be heard today. In closing, Gordon declares the words of Scripture to be a testimony that those joined to the God of Israel do have a portion with his people and with his Torah.

I look forward to reading your comments!

Hebrew Voices #8 – Prophets, Priests, and Preachers

You are listening to Hebrew Voices with Nehemia Gordon. Thank you for supporting Nehemia Gordon's Makor Hebrew Foundation. Learn more at NehemiasWall.com.

Nehemia: Shalom, this is Nehemia Gordon back at the site where the Israelites crossed the Jordan River, for another episode of Hebrew Voices with my guest, Anthony Garcia. We are going to continue talking about the Prophets, Priests and Preachers who immersed themselves in the waters of the Jordan River, only a few inches from where we’re sitting right now.

A warm thank you to the Sunset Beach Torah fans of South Africa who sponsored this week’s episode of Hebrew Voices.

Nehemia: I just want to describe to the people listening that we’ve got a group of people here, and they’re all the way into their waists in the Jordan River. Oh, the woman went all the way to her neck. Is she going to immerse 100 percent like Naaman? Will she go in with her nose? Oh, she did. She went all the way, a full immersion. She did a Naaman immersion, not an Anthony priestly immersion. Very impressive.

Anthony: Speaking about immersion, I’m going to read about the most important baptism in history, for me.

Nehemia: Which one’s that? Is that the one with Naaman? I’m excited about this.

Anthony: No, that would be in Matthew 3:16 and 17, where it reads, “Yeshua, when he was immersed, went up directly from the water. And behold, the heavens were opened up to him. He saw the spirit of God…”

Nehemia: Wait, I gotta stop you. That happened right here on the Jordan river where we’re sitting, like 20 feet from here. Is that what you’re trying to tell me?

Anthony: I believe so.

Nehemia, thank you so much for your heart. All you want to do is share the truth and help those of us who want to see it for ourselves do so. Your goal in ministry has not been to convince people that their belief is wrong, but to give them the tools they need to “check it for themselves.”

That’s what I heard here, taking us back to the sources, the manuscripts that leave their trail of breadcrumbs for those who are willing to follow. And as always, I find my faith in Yehovah strengthened by the mental exercise of searching for his words in their original language, history, and context.

A Christian is not Greek for Messianic. The Hebrew Mashiach never preached Christianity and He is also not the founder of Christianity. Christianity is a apostate version of the True Philosophy of Mashiach. ” The Lord Jesus Christ” was secretively carried into the Knessets or Assemblies to replace the Hebrew Mashiach, Ye- Hoshuwah. Therefore Shaul speaks of another Ye-Hoshuwah, another Set-apart Spirit and another Good News Message of Ha Mashiach, in 2 Corinthians 11:4. They have replaced the Hebrew Mashiach with the Greek Iesous, now known as Jesus in the Delusion of 2 Thessalonians 2:11. Lord means Baal, a pagan god, Jesus means Ie Zeus, a pagan god and Christ means Krishna, a pagan god. Nehemiah Gordon helps us to distinguished between the True and False Mashiach. Shalom!

Hey brother Nehemia.. Hi my name is Isai Marines, and I want to tell you that I am a messianic or in Greek, a christian, for that matter, but I am inclined to the Hebrew roots of Yeshua the messiah and I try to learn the most that I can, the torah, from a hebraic perspective. I got to tell you that you have helped me a lot. You are an awesome teacher and I pray that you please don’t give up on us. Please pay no attention to to those that feel threatened of being snared away from “Jesus”. If there is anything that you have done is gotten me closer to my Meshiac because you have helped me understand him in his Jewish apparel and I thank you for that. I pray and ask one more time to please don’t feel put down by the wanna be know it alls! You have been a blessing and I will always thank you for that. Who cares if you believe in Yeshua or not, that is your business and that is final, if there is something Christians should be doing is thanking you for shedding light of torah to us that are disabled in the hebrew language and culture.. Again I thank you brother
