Prophet Pearls #31-Emor
Ezekiel 44:15-31
May 1, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Ezekiel 44:15–31. It accompanies the Torah portion Emor (Leviticus 21:1–24:23). This Haftorah looks forward to the restoration of a faithful priesthood, whose principal responsibility can be summed up as teaching the people “what is sacred and what is profane, and what is clean and unclean.” Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.

Prophet Pearls #29 and #30 Achrei Mot and Kedoshim
Ezekiel 22:1-19 and Amos 9:7-15
April 24, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—combines two passages and covers Ezekiel 22: 1–19 and Amos 9:7–15. These Prophet readings accompany the Torah portions Achrei Mot (Leviticus 16:1–18:30) and Kedoshim (Leviticus 19:1–20:27).
In the first of these two passages Ezekiel is commissioned to sit as a judge over the city of Jerusalem. He enumerates the crimes that have led to God’s displeasure, but also explains that His punishment will ultimately bring about the purification of His people. The second passage echoes the theme of sin and punishment, also ending with a striking promise of restoration, peace, and abundance.

In 1991, the United States led coalition forces from dozens of countries against Iraq in a 43-day war that changed the Middle East and the world. After the U.S. accomplished its mission, President George Bush Senior encouraged the people of Iraq to take things into their own hands and overthrow Saddam Hussein.
As I found myself in southern Iraq, floating on the Euphrates River, I realized that beyond being in the region of the Garden of Eden, I was also in Noah’s neighborhood! As I opened my Bible to Genesis chapters 5-10, I discovered that there was no Bible GPS that gave Noah’s address, so I figured I would skip this episode. But then I heard about an ancient artifact discovered in Biblical Iraq that may have come from Noah’s diary!
I encountered a place that provides a perfect introduction to our 10 Commandments series!

April 10, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is 2 Samuel 6:1–7:17. It accompanies the Torah portion Shemini (Leviticus 9:1–11:47).
This passage relates the story of moving the Ark of God to the City of David. David wanted to build a temple or house for God, but was not permitted to do so. In fact, God promised that He would be the one to build a “house” for David, and that David’s royal line would be perpetuated through his son Solomon.
