Torah Reading 

Leviticus 6 : 1 – 8 : 36

Torah of Burnt Offering

Adonai spoke to Moses, saying: 2 “Command Aaron and his sons, saying: This is the Torah of the burnt offering. The burnt offering should remain on the hearth atop the altar all night until the morning, while the fire of the altar is kept burning on it. 3 The kohen is to put on his linen garment, with his linen undergarments on his body. He is to remove the fat ashes from where the fire has consumed the burnt offering on the altar and put them beside the altar. 4 Then he is to take off his garments, put on other ones, and carry the ashes outside the camp to a clean place.

5 The fire on the altar is to be kept burning on it—it must not go out. Each morning the kohen is to burn wood on it, laying the burnt offering in order upon it, and burning up as smoke the fat of the fellowship offerings. 6 Fire is to be kept burning on the altar continually—it must not go out.

Torah of Grain Offering

7 “Now this is the Torah of the grain offering. Aaron’s sons are to offer it to Adonai in front of the altar. 8 So he is to lift up from it his handful of the fine flour of the grain offering, with some of its oil and all the frankincense which is on the grain offering, and burn it up as smoke on the altar for a soothing aroma, as its memorial portion to Adonai. 9 Then what is left from it Aaron and his sons are to eat. It is to be eaten as matzah in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting. 10 It must not be baked with hametz. I have given it as their portion of My offerings made by fire. It is most holy, like the sin offering and like the trespass offering. 11 Every male among the children of Aaron may eat it, as their portion forever throughout your generations from the offerings of Adonai made by fire. Whoever touches them will become holy.”

Yad - Pointer
Haftarah Reading

Jeremiah 7 : 21 – 8 : 3

21 Thus says Adonai-Tzva’ot, the God of Israel: “Add your burnt offerings to your sacrifices and eat the meat! 22 For on the day that I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt I did not speak to them nor did I command them concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices, 23 but I explicitly commanded them: ‘Obey My voice and I will be your God to you and you will be My people. Walk in all the ways that I command you that it may go well with you.’ 24 But they did not listen or pay attention. Instead they followed their own counsel, in the stubbornness of their evil heart. They have gone backward and not forward, 25 from the day your fathers left the land of Egypt until today. Although I sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily and persistently, 26 they did not listen to Me or pay attention. Rather, they stiffened their neck, doing more evil than their fathers.

27 “When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer you. 28 So you will say to them, ‘This nation has not obeyed the voice of Adonai their God or received correction. Truth has perished and is cut off from their mouth. 29 Cut off your hair and throw it away and take up a lamentation on the barren hills. For Adonai has spurned and cast off the generation of His wrath.”

Valley of Slaughter

30 “The children of Judah have done what is evil in My sight”—it is a declaration of Adonai—“They have set their detestable things in the House that bears My Name to defile it. 31 They have built the high places of Topheth in the Valley of Ben-Hinnom to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire—which I did not command, nor did it even enter My mind. 32 Therefore, the days are soon coming,” declares Adonai, “when it will no longer be called Topheth, nor the Valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they will bury in Topheth until there is no room.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jer.+7%3A21%E2%80%938%3A3&version=TLV

Jeremiah 9 : 22 – 23

Boast in Knowing Adonai

22 Thus says Adonai:
“Let not the wise boast in his wisdom
    nor the mighty boast in his might
    nor the rich glory in his riches.
23 But let one who boasts boast in this:
    that he understands and knows Me.
    For I am Adonai who exercises lovingkindness,
        justice and righteousness on earth.
    For in these things I delight.”
It is a declaration of Adonai.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jer.+9%3A22%E2%80%9323&version=TLV

Malachi 3 : 4 – 24

4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to Adonai,
as in days of antiquity and years of old.
5 “Then I will draw near to you in judgment,
and I will be a swift witness against sorcerers, adulterers, perjurers
    those who extort a worker’s wage,
    or oppress the widow or an orphan,
    those who mislead a stranger.
    They do not fear Me,”
    says Adonai-Tzva’ot.
6 “For I am Adonai. I do not change,
So you, children of Jacob, are not consumed.

Bring the Whole Tithe

7 “From the days of your ancestors you have turned aside from My statutes, and have not kept them. Return to Me, and I will return to you,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot.

Yet you say: “How should we return?”

8 “Will a man rob[a] God? For you are robbing Me!”

But you say: “How have we robbed You?”

“In the tithe and the offering. 9 You have been cursed with the curse, yet you keep robbing Me—the whole nation! 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse. Then there will be food in My House. Now test Me in this”—says Adonai-Tzva’ot—“if I will not open for you the windows of heaven, and pour out blessing for you, until no one is without enough. 11 I will rebuke the devouring pest for you, so it will not destroy the fruit of your land, nor will your vine be barren in the field,” Adonai-Tzva’ot says. 12 “All the nations will call you blessed. For you will be a land of delight,” says Adonai-Tzva’ot.

13 “Your words against Me are grievous,” says Adonai.

Yet you say: “What did we say against You?”

14 You say: “Serving God is worthless.” Also: “What good is it that we kept His service or that we walked as mourners before Adonai-Tzva’ot? 15 So now we are calling the proud blessed. Those who practice iniquity are built up. Indeed, they have tested God, and escaped!”

Prophet
messianic Brit Chadashah Reading

Mark 7 : 31 – 9 : 1

31 Again He left the region of Tyre and came through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, within the region of the Decapolis. 32 They bring Him a deaf man who had a speech impediment, and they beg Him to lay His hand on him. 33 Yeshua took him aside from the crowd to a private place, and He put His fingers in the man’s ears. After spitting, He touched the man’s tongue. 34 Looking up to heaven, He says to the man, “Ephphatha,”[a] which means “Be opened!”

35 Immediately the man’s ears were opened, his tongue was loosened, and he began to speak plainly. 36 Yeshua ordered them not to tell anyone. But the more He ordered them, the more they continued proclaiming it. 37 People were completely astounded, saying, “He has done all things well. He makes even the deaf hear and the mute speak!”

Do You Still Not Understand?

8 In those days, there was another large crowd with nothing to eat, and Yeshua called the disciples. He said to them, 2 “I have compassion for the crowd, because they’ve stayed with Me for three days now and have nothing to eat. 3 If I send them home hungry they’ll pass out on the way, for some of them have come from very far away.”

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mk.+7%3A31%E2%80%939%3A1&version=TLV

Hebrews 7 : 23 – 8 : 6

23 Now on the one hand, many have become kohanim, who through death are prevented from continuing in office. [a] 24 But on the other hand, the One who does remain forever has a permanent priesthood. 25 Therefore He is also able to save completely those who draw near to God through Him, always living to make intercession for them.

26 For such a Kohen Gadol was fitting for us: holy, guiltless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens. 27 He has no need to offer up sacrifices day by day like those other kohanim g’dolim—first for their own sins and then for the sins of the people.[b] For when He offered up Himself, He did this once for all. 28 For the Torah appoints as kohanim g’dolim men who have weakness; but the word of the oath,[c] which came after the Torah, appoints a Son—made perfect forever.

Yeshua, Mediator of a Better Covenant

8 Now here is the main point being said. We do have such a Kohen Gadol, who has taken His seat at the right hand[d] of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens. 2 He is a priestly attendant of the Holies and the true Tent—which Adonai set up, not man.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Heb.+7%3A23-8%3A6&version=TLV

Hebrews 9 : 11 – 28

11 But when Messiah appeared as Kohen Gadol of the good things that have now come, passing through the greater and more perfect Tent not made with hands (that is to say not of this creation), 12 He entered into the Holies once for all—not by the blood of goats and calves but by His own blood, having obtained eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls[a] and the ashes of a heifer sprinkling those who have been defiled[b] sanctify for the cleansing of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Messiah—who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God—cleanse our[c] conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant,[d] in order that those called may receive the promised eternal inheritance—since a death has taken place that redeems them from violations under the first covenant. 16 For where there is a covenant, the death of the one who made it must be established. [e] 17 For a covenant is secured upon the basis of dead bodies, since it has no strength as long as the one who made it lives. 18 That is why not even the first covenant was inaugurated without blood. 19 For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Torah, he took the blood of the calves and goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and he sprinkled both the book itself and all the people. 20 He said, “This is the blood of the covenant which God commanded you.” [f]

Bible Translations

I've been asked many times, "Pastor what translation are you using?"

hmm, not that easy to answer, as my first reaction is every bible translation is a politically correct version. hmm, what do you mean with this statement.

If we look for example to the King James Version, it states Authorized Version. Authorized by whom, meaning the the authorizing authority needed to be in agreement and not be offended by the translation. This is stated maybe a little exasurated, and black and white, but further down this article it will make sense, I promise.

A better question is, what kind of translations will you not use?

There is a diverse array of Bible translations available, each with its own unique approach to rendering the ancient texts into modern languages. These translations can generally be categorized into three main types: literal, dynamic equivalence, and paraphrase.

 

A man holding a Bible with a pencil, against the background of the living room with a fireplace. Reading a book in a cozy environment. Close up.Literal Translations

These translations aim to provide a word-for-word rendering of the original text into the target language, often prioritizing accuracy and fidelity to the original languages. Examples of literal translations include the King James Version (KJV), the New American Standard Bible (NASB), and the English Standard Version (ESV). Literal translations are favored by many scholars and those who value close adherence to the original languages.

Dynamic Equivalence Translations

Also known as thought-for-thought translations, these versions seek to convey the meaning and intent of the original text in a more contemporary and idiomatic manner. Dynamic equivalence translations prioritize readability and accessibility over strict adherence to the exact wording of the original languages. Examples of dynamic equivalence translations include the New International Version (NIV), the New Living Translation (NLT), and the Contemporary English Version (CEV). These translations are often preferred for personal and devotional reading due to their clarity and ease of understanding.

Paraphrase Translations

Paraphrase translations take a more interpretive approach, aiming to convey the concepts and ideas of the original text in a highly accessible and colloquial style. These versions may take greater liberties with the wording and structure of the text in order to convey its meaning in a modern context. Examples of paraphrase translations include The Message, The Living Bible (TLB), and The Amplified Bible (AMP). Paraphrase translations are often used for casual reading and for gaining fresh insights into familiar passages.

Within these broad categories, there are also variations and hybrid approaches that combine elements of literal and dynamic equivalence translation methods. Additionally, there are translations specifically tailored to certain audiences, such as children, teens, or speakers of specific dialects or languages.

What to use

Out of these diverent groupings I prefer the Literal Translations seen from a Jewish Perspective as in the Tree of Life Version, however there are often times that I will be using translations from the Paraphrase or thought for thought categories, as in the Amplified Bible, or the Common English Bible (which are most commonly used by me including the complete Jewish Bible). Also the Tanach and Torah from the Jewish Publishing Society are frequently included. When using the NIV I personally only do this from the 1984 Edition for reasons mentioned in the next paragraphs.

As I stated earlier all versions are politically correct versions, I do not adhere to one or another. My believe is that am guided by the Holy Spirit on what version to use and how to write or translate the text.

Within the Second Section the Dynamic Equivalent Translations the NIV is mentioned.

NIV Version

As stated earlier concerning the NIV I do only use the 1984 edition, as I believe that with the TNIV and the 2011 editions they went completely of on the looney side with not just politically correct, but also woke and worse translated text.

The “New International Version” (NIV) was conceived in 1965 and after several years of study by committees from the Christian Reformed Church and the National Association of Evangelicals, it was felt there was a need for a new translation in contemporary English. The first printing of the entire Bible was in 1978, and it became one of the largest selling bible translations on the market.

All well and good until 2005 when Zondervan published the “Today’s New International Version” (TNIV), a more gender-inclusive translation of certain terms. Because of its controversial gender inclusiveness, the TNIV was the subject of a great deal of criticism from the evangelical world and went out of print in 2009. In March, 2011, Zondervan once again published a new edition, the “2011 New International Version.” This edition will totally replace the 1984 NIV, which will no longer be published.

Like its predecessor, the TNIV, the 2011 NIV was translated using gender-neutral translation rules, resulting in the replacement of gender-specific words (e.g. man, woman, he, she, son, daughter) with gender-neutral words (e. g. person, they, child). In many cases these replacements are made even when the original language clearly intends a specific gender. Further, the 2011 NIV alters key verses that define the roles of women (See I Timothy 2:12 and Nahum 3:13), which may allow for interpretation consistent with our culture today, but which do not accurately reflect the original language of the Scriptures.

It has over 3600 Gender neutral phrases and worse that I cannot support and thus will under no circumstance use this version or suggest it for use. My favorite version is indeed the Tree of Life Version.

TreeOfLifeBibleThinLineVersion

Tree of Live Version (TLV)

The Tree of Life Version (TLV) of the Bible is a relatively recent translation that seeks to provide a fresh and accurate rendering of the Scriptures for English-speaking readers, while also incorporating Jewish cultural and linguistic elements. The Tree of Life Version is a unique translation that seeks to bridge the gap between Jewish and Christian readership by presenting the Scriptures in a way that honors both traditions while remaining faithful to the original texts. Its basis in the Masoretic Text and the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament, along with its focus on Jewish cultural and linguistic elements, makes it a valuable resource for those seeking a deeper understanding of the Bible from a Jewish-Christian perspective.

MONTH  2024

A New Year

January

January has been an exceptionally thrilling month for us. We embarked on a project to create a dedicated Questions and Answers (Q&A) section on our website, but unfortunately, the outcome did not align with our vision. However, we are delighted to introduce you to "Yair," our very own Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International Chatbot. Yair is a sophisticated artificial intelligence chat program powered by ChatGPT and fueled by the content of the ewcmi.com website. The name "Yair" is deeply rooted in Hebrew and carries profound significance. In Hebrew, "Yair" (יָאִיר) is a masculine given name that can also function as a surname. Its etymology can be traced to the Hebrew verb "יָאַר" (ya'ar), signifying "to enlighten," "to illuminate," or "to give light."

Within the rich tapestry of biblical symbolism, names often bear profound meanings. In this context, "Yair" resonates with the concept of enlightenment, encompassing both the literal notion of shedding light and the figurative connotation of wisdom and insight. So, in essence, Yair, our chatbot, serves as a beacon of knowledge and understanding, mirroring the broader mission of Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International to provide enlightenment and insight into the Christian/Messianic faith.
We would highly suggest to try it out.

Podcast Highlights

Feb 09, 2024 - Real men do not shave electric

The need to refill, to refuel, to top-off, to re-charge is an essential point in time for the wine carafe, for the car, for the marathon runner, for you and for me. When there is a great party, or the seder, shabbos, or who knows a wonderful wedding, the carafe needs to be refilled frequently, otherwise it will run dry and not pour out anything. The car that does not get the coolant topped off will at a certain moment stop working.

Feb 16, 2024 - Sanctuary

I've got to admit, I'm always pretty darn thankful when folks step in for me during vacations or when I'm down with the flu or broken bones. But you know what's coming, right? That one phrase, well-intentioned, but often received with an awkward side-eye: 'But, Pastor, you know, God never gives us more than we can handle.' And that got me thinking, along with the lyrics of a song I'll come back to later.

Feb 23, 2024 - Blessing

A Blessing, what is it?
Simple enough question you might say, - but what is the answer? Some might say: “when my parents say that they were happy with the choice of my spouse, that was a blessing.” Others might say: “the discount at the store - that was a blessing.” Or they might say: "You are a blessing." Webster's Dictionary tells us that a blessing is the act or words of one that blesses. - A blessing is a thing conducive to happiness or welfare. - And yes indeed, the grace said at meals. What do our Jewish brothers and sisters say about a blessing?

Mar 01, 2024 - Great is Your Faithfulness

We accept your promise from old, and we promise you from new. Lord, we want to come together with you as many of the saints and your own people have done in the past. Because Lord, we know your Word, because Lord, we know your Promise, because Lord, we know your Truth, and we know it Lord, we know it that we know it. Your Faithfulness, it is great, it is great, it is great. “Great is Thy faithfulness!” “Great is Thy faithfulness!” Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed Thy hand hath provided— “Great is Thy faithfulness,” Lord, unto me!

Yair's Answers

It is funny to see that after a few questions Yair started a friendship;
Question: What is a Parashah?
Yair's Answer: A Parashah, my dear friend, is a Hebrew term that refers to a weekly portion of the Torah, the sacred text of Judaism. Each week, the Jewish community reads and studies a specific portion of the Torah, which is divided into 54 Parashot (plural of Parashah). These Parashot cover various stories, laws, and teachings found within the Torah. They serve as a guide for the Jewish community to explore and understand the wisdom and guidance contained in the holy scriptures. Is there anything else you would like to know about Parashah or any other topic? I am here to assist you!

It seems that we are now, how would you call it, "on a roll". With the next question Yair figured out from the website data how a child is address in the Netherlands (watch the bold text)

Question: Who is Chris?
Yair's Answer: Ah, Chris, my dear interlocutor, refers to Pastor Chris, the Founder and Inspirational leader of Eagle Wings Charismatic Ministries International. Pastor Chris, also known affectionately as Pastor Chrisje, is a man of many roles and talents. He is a preacher, teacher, author, worship leader, musician, and vocalist. With a passion for spreading the message of faith, he fearlessly embraces these various roles to serve God and His people. Pastor Chris cherishes simplicity and draws inspiration from the elegance of the 30s and 40s. His commitment to a frugal lifestyle and self-sufficiency allows him to focus on his ministry. He is known for his transparency and unapologetic theology, which forms the core of his preaching and beliefs. If you have any more questions about Pastor Chris or anything else, feel free to ask!

I sure hope you have as much fun in reading this newsletter as I had writing it.
Pastor Chris.

Power in His Wings, the Tallit

In today's Christian landscape, there is a growing movement that seeks to rediscover the rich heritage of our faith by delving deep into its origins. 81OXxb88oL. AC CR0000 SX480 SY360 This powerful revival is placing a renewed emphasis on the profound truths found within the original languages of Hebrew and Greek. It is during this time of revival that long-standing barriers are being dismantled and damaging doctrines of replacement theology are being debunked.

One particular aspect that has been overlooked and even pushed aside within Christianity is the significance of the prayer shawl, also known as the tallit. Traditionally, the tallit has played an important role in Jewish worship, symbolizing the commandments of God and serving as a tangible reminder of His presence. However, throughout history, Christianity has gradually moved away from incorporating the prayer shawl into the lives of believers.

Instead, a new emphasis has been placed on the concept of the prayer closet, which is derived from Jesus' teachings on prayer in Matthew 6:6. The prayer closet represents a personal and intimate space where believers can seek God in solitude. While the prayer closet has its value and importance in fostering a deep connection with God, it should not overshadow or replace the significance of the prayer shawl, which was the original wording Jesus used.

One powerful example that highlights the importance of the prayer shawl can be found in the story of the woman with the issue of blood. In Mark 5:25-34, we read about her desperate act of faith as she reached out and touched the hem of Jesus' garment. Instantly, she was healed of her affliction. This miraculous encounter signifies the power and anointing that resides in the garment of Jesus, which includes the symbolism of the prayer shawl.

The revelation that emerges from this story is not only about the healing power of Jesus but also about the significance of our personal tabernacle. Just as the woman with the issue of blood found healing in touching the hem of Jesus' garment, we are invited to enter into a deeper understanding of our own personal tabernacle. It is within this sacred space that we can experience the presence and power of God in our lives.

Sadly, the emphasis on the prayer closet has overshadowed the understanding of our personal tabernacle. The prayer shawl serves as a powerful symbol of our connection with God and our identity as His chosen people. By embracing the significance of the prayer shawl, we reclaim the roots of our faith and reconnect with the rich Jewish customs and traditions that have been stripped away for too long.

It is time to challenge the false notion that Christianity has replaced the Jews as God's chosen people. As we delve deeper into the profound truths of God's Word, as Jesus Himself comprehended and taught it, we gain a more complete understanding of our faith.
