Passport from Heaven-Scripture Bytes Premiere with Keith Johnson
Isaiah 56:6

Putting our collective heads together and our hands to work, the BFA International team has created an innovative Bible teaching format called Scripture Bytes—examining “byte-sized” portions of Scripture. We hope you will grab your Bible and your notebook and start digging deeper into the Scriptures today!
In this first program we take a closer look at Isaiah 56:6 and what it means to “join” oneself to the Creator of the Universe. Then we invite listeners to keep reading to find out where in the world God’s “passport from heaven” will take us. If you like what you see, please share it with family and friends! Our aim is to saturate the world with the Word of God.
Should we keep uploading more Scripture Bytes? Let us know in the comment section.
If enough people say “Keep Uploading” then check back here for a brand new Scripture Byte. Be sure to register as a free member to comment and to download the companion PDF Study Guide in the link above.

Indeed. please continue upload!
Presentation is informative, unfortunately a little difficult to keep up with you based on your enthusiasm and fast pace .
My wife is coming on board and it takes her a little time to digest and understand the concepts but we trust Elohim will guide us in our efforts to dig deeper in the word to discover hidden biblical truths .(and then to apply them to our lives )
Many leaders, pastors and those who are supposedly learned from theological seminaries and institutions of theological learning have either kept biblical truths to themselves or just plain downright refuse to share because it makes them uncomfortable!

I’m so glad to be able to learn from your site. It’s a little difficult to follow when you get fast due to excitment, however, I feel the joy with you and pray for wisdom and discernment from YHVH! May Elohim bless you and your walk in Him!!!

It is always a tremendous blessing and a privilege to listen to the Scripture Bytes.. and feel at the same time so sad to see how much we miss the depth of the Scriptures in its original language because of translation.. whether it is french, english,etc. Thanks for your great work.. Yehovah bless you and your family
Shalom 🙂

I find that to just beware of the fact that the word we are looking at; whatever version we might be using is not interpreted properly. I like to know what the Hebrew translation is for that same word. I am not interested in all the extra grammar!

It is absolutely important for us to Love the name of Yehovah, Keep Sabbath and Keep the Torah! I can tell you that my life really changed for the better when I began doing these three. Sure I lost friends and family along the way but you have to keep your eye on the prize. Prize you might ask? Eternity with YeHoVah/Yeshua!!! There is no greater reward!

I’m unable to download the pdf. It opens to a blank document
March 11, 2017 at 6:57 pm /
Yes…definitely keep making Scripture Bytes! ;0)
March 11, 2017 at 6:31 am /
I’m looking forward to watching this new ScriptureByte, but have been unable to download the pdf. I either get a blank screen, or the home page of BFA. Help?

Psa_82:6 I said, “You are gods (H430-Elohim*), sons of the Most High, all of you;
Joh_10:34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I said, you are gods’?
*H430-Elohim (Gods): from H410- El (God, strength), which is from H352-ayil
(strength), which is from the same as H193-ul (twist, the “body” being rolled
together)
Could it be that all those who “join (lavah) themselves to ‘Yehovah’ (“twist” themselves to ‘Yehovah’) are the ones who “twist” (ayil) themselves to “God” (Elohim), thus perfecting the verses shown above?
Could this “joining”, this “twisting”, be compared to the way a rope is constructed in which each individual fiber has no strength on its own, but when “joined”, when “twisted”, together with other fibers to make a strand, gains more strength? And, when those strands are “joined”, are “twisted”, together with more strands, even more strength is gained? And, when this process is continued to its completion, its perfection, can it be seen that this rope becomes so powerful and so strong that it can perform tremendous feats?

Does that have something to do with the good news, the gospel?
October 23, 2016 at 2:54 pm /
Wow! This is gold!! And what you chose to study, that particular subject, is vital. The bells and whistles had a beginning, haha!
October 5, 2016 at 8:53 am /
Thank you! I am new to your site, and am looking forward to learning more!!
July 12, 2016 at 1:25 am /
Shalom!
I am grateful for the hard work you and Nehemia Gordon have done. May YEHOVAH bless you and yours abundantly.
I am wondering if you would be interested in speaking about Psalm 90. I look forward to becoming a Premium Member soon.
May 23, 2015 at 7:20 am /
SShalom Keith. Yes please and thank you very much and many blessings to you and yours. I hhaven’t seen it yet but tasted the other bytes and they were beyond yummy!
January 8, 2015 at 4:40 pm /
Hi, Keith. I hope this reaches you directly.
At the end of this Byte you mention the 3 things for ministering to Him – the last being to “Grab hold of his Torah.”
Could you please explain why you put “covenant” in parenthesis and makes this a statement re: Torah? I’m using Bibleworks software & looking at the BHS (or WTT) text & it does have berit (covenant) at the end of Is56:6.
Thank you & Nehemiah for your work.

You are changing the names! Have you added stuff or just tweeted the names? I have started a book with the Downloads and then I recovered they were transcripts and I loved it even more because You talk so fast that my brain can’t keep up. I think you ought to meet with David Barton; he is an Historian ,Believer, and has the largest collection of pre-1820 documents and artifacts from America and our founders. He also can out-talk you.
I love what you are doing Keith, Hope to see you at Beth-El

keep loading, thanks for the excellent teaching
October 25, 2014 at 6:22 am /
Good job, Keith!
One question-“signs to mark seasons and days and years”…..”seasons” is Appointed/set times/meetings”, what about “days”, you mentioned 29 to 30 days in a Biblical month?
Would Shabbat be an appointed/set/moed/ time as well?
Thank you, for Scripture Bytes, love it like the rest of us here. Shalom!
October 23, 2014 at 12:03 am /
Ken; most definitely Ken!

Very good teaching, please continue!
October 7, 2014 at 2:39 pm /
Yes, please continue with scripture bytes. It provides us, those wanting to learn hebrew but who can not currently afford a teacher, to have a minimal yet sound understanding. I greatly appreciate your work and the information you provide.
October 3, 2014 at 3:55 pm /
Yes please keeping sending

June 21, 2014 at 6:39 am /
Well Keith! You have surpassed yourself this time:) I have only read the PDF so far and am so stirred and excited even before I listen to the Scripture Byte! Amazing truth. Keep them coming!
June 19, 2014 at 4:00 pm /
Yes keep uploading. Can use the teachings and thank you for your help and commitment to bring this
June 18, 2014 at 6:45 pm /
Keep on going. Wonderful presentation, easy to understand and follow. I LOVE IT!
June 18, 2014 at 10:58 am /
Hi Keith, I have little doubt this will become required listening (and reading – love the PDF too) for every week. Thank you for providing tools while you are teaching. The high tech is really neat, but personally it is the content that gets me. Foundational verse to start off with – may we all be given a heart to know, eyes to see and ears to hear!
Shalom
June 14, 2014 at 9:57 pm /
Please, please, keep it going, Keith…us truth seekers need to know more and more truth of Our Lord…and, besides, I’m studying Biblical Hebrew and that’s another area where your bites will help me!
God has definitely brought you into this world to do the work you are now doing for Him…and of course, for us!
Love you, Keith!

Yes~ very much enjoyed the presentation
June 12, 2014 at 6:14 pm /
Amen! Yes, Yehovah is my “migdal oz”, Shalom Aleichem
June 10, 2014 at 2:40 am /
When I watched and listened to your Scripture Bytes Presentation, I knew I wanted to be a partner. This is the very thing we need, a deeper understanding of the scripture both in the Torah and the New Testament. Without it, the ritualistic repetition of misunderstanding prevails and that can only be broken if you continue to bring the light of understanding through these lessons. This will bring a re-connection with truth that will lead to reformation. Thank you Keith
June 9, 2014 at 11:02 pm /
Yes, keep on! The eyes of our understanding being enlightened.
June 9, 2014 at 10:19 pm /
KEEP UPLOADING!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 9, 2014 at 7:12 pm /
I love this format ….. please continue. One question: I was a member of The United Methodist Church and very involved with leadership and teaching. Once I realized the ‘church’ had detoured form the path Yeshua laid – I left. How could I continue to observe the Sunday Sabbath when I know the Sabbath is Saturday? I do not observe Christmas or Easter as I am following the Biblical calendar – and have no desire to continue the pagan traditions of man. My question: Keith, how do you continue in the church? I love my ‘church family’ and miss them terribly. If you could help me to reconnect without giving up the Biblical truths I have learned, I would be so very thankful.
June 9, 2014 at 12:18 pm /
Oh my gosh, Keith!
If this “intro” is exactly how all of the studies on Scripture Bytes is going to work, THIS IS FABULOUS!
BTW, Nehemia Gordan’s Facebook page is what introduced me to this new form of teaching! Thanks to both of you!
June 9, 2014 at 8:23 am /
KEEP UPLOADING
June 8, 2014 at 3:24 pm /
More please!!!
June 8, 2014 at 11:19 am /
Thank you Keith for this presentation. It is a great way to learn Hebrew as well and that is what I want to do. This is genius and I hope you continue it forever.
June 8, 2014 at 8:28 am /
I really LOVE this…please keep making them! God bless your efforts.
June 8, 2014 at 5:30 am /
Hey!
Isa 56:7 says that Yehovah WILL bring me to His Holy Mountain!! and make me Joyful in His house of prayer. HALLELU-YAH!! Let it be 2015, My Abba Father, Yehovah. Yes and Amen.
June 8, 2014 at 4:21 am /
Shalom shalom, Brother Keith, from Raleigh and Smithfield NC!!
I am praying for and blessing you, Yehudah Glick, Sven, Tina, and all others on the Temple Mount (as I type this you are there on assignment). The Scripture Byte on Isaiah 56:6 was funny (your fancy computer buttons) and very informative. Yes, I love YEHOVAH & Israel, and join/attach/ally/twist/levi/stand with Yehovah, His Shabbat, His Times/Feasts, and take hold of His Torah/Writings/Covenant. Perhaps I will join/ally/attach/twist/levi/stand with you on your Signs of the Times Tour next year as well. “Next Year in Yerushalayim!”
L’hitraot.
May YEHOVAH bless you, keep you, make His face shine upon you, be gracious to you, turn His face toward you, and give you His SHALOM.
June 7, 2014 at 11:29 pm /
Keith, I second each one of the comments above. This is extraordinary, just like everything else you have done. There are no words to thank you for the meat you serve each time you invite us to the table.
It’s mind boggling to think about the possibilities with this ministry.
I am especially interested in your inroads into Temple Mount issues. This is book of Acts stuff. So exciting.
I agree with all those who are lifting you up in prayer. We keep you before the throne. The Anointing is breaking shackles of tradition. We are so ready. Blessings, blessings, blessings.
June 7, 2014 at 11:05 pm /
Yes, please keep feeding the hungry with tons of more Scripture Bytes.
June 7, 2014 at 9:59 pm /
Really enjoyed this! I do hope you continue.
June 7, 2014 at 9:05 pm /
…but any way I almost forgot why I came here! what’s the clue with Shavout and Pentecost. I understand this to be the giving of Torah but also the outpouring of the Holy Spirit of Yah! I didn’t hear any thing about your conclusion brother Kenneth!
June 7, 2014 at 9:51 pm /
sorry for the name typo! Keith would be correct, doesn’t it? ~Bracha
June 7, 2014 at 8:43 pm /
Thank you for the Scripture bites and explanations. Really enjoy the way you set it up. Makes it easy to follow & understand. PLEASE continue uploading more bites. Thank you & Shabbat Shalom & Chag sameach Shavout 🙂
June 7, 2014 at 8:03 pm /
I really enjoyed this Byte and appreciated the way you explained the meanings in Hebrew! Thank you for all you do!
June 7, 2014 at 2:49 pm /
Please keep uploading!
June 7, 2014 at 12:42 pm /
Yes Please keep uploading
June 7, 2014 at 10:28 am /
Please keep it coming. You have such great ideas!
June 7, 2014 at 8:59 am /
Thank you, thank you!!! I have had to rely on audio and video due to eye problems and now I can read and see for myself without having to have someone read for me. Please keep this going.
June 7, 2014 at 6:29 am /
Another great idea given to you by YHVH!! Praise Yah for this
June 7, 2014 at 1:29 am /
Keith, this is the best yet! I love the teaching and the “Scripture Byte” format is really great. Definitely “keep on reading” your scripture bytes. I will keep on learning each one that you send out.
June 7, 2014 at 1:03 am /
Love Scripture Bytes, I’ve been wanting something that explain things like this. Clear easy to understand. What I found while looking for something like this was dry academic lessons on grammar, or very superficial word definitions that left me feeling that if it wasn’t going to be any clearer than that I could have just read the King James.
Please do many more Scripture Bytes!
I’ve been hoping that BFA or Mr. Gordon would do something for those of us who would like to hear a little more about the original language of the scriptures, and help us understand them better, I am so thrilled to see this. Looking forward to seeing more.
June 6, 2014 at 8:50 pm /
Yes, please continue with this format!
June 5, 2014 at 6:20 pm /
Hope you enjoy it!
June 8, 2014 at 8:31 am /
love, love, love Scripture Bytes! Keep teaching!
June 9, 2014 at 10:35 pm /
wondering if anyone else has had any issues? have you downloaded many of the audio files?
June 10, 2014 at 10:20 pm /
Hey! Sorry to hear about the trouble. I’ll be sure to pass on the info.
Just curious, what browser are you using? If you’re using Internet Explorer maybe try Chrome and see if it works better for you. It sounds like you internet connection might be having trouble.
