MIDRASH
In MIDRASH, an international Finding the Ancient Path fellowship gathers for prayer and a wide-ranging, interactive study. A question about blessing Israel in Genesis leads to discussion of biblical Israel, the twelve tribes, the contemporary state, and the limits of assigning prophetic significance to present-day events. Participants then revisit the mustard-seed parable, exploring the nations pictured by birds finding shelter in the growing tree, and discuss what it means to proclaim the Gospel of the Kingdom, repentance, faith in Yeshua, and Torah obedience. A substantial conversation considers the possibility of another temple, the distinction between offerings and atonement for sin, and Yeshua’s priesthood in the order of Melchizedek. The fellowship closes with honest accounts of family tension and practical counsel to remain patient, loving, prayerful, and open to questions. Throughout, the facilitator discourages treating speculation about prophecy as certainty and previews a subsequent Teaching on Israel and end-time alignments.
