Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio

Avi ben Mordechai

ABOUT ME and THIS PODCAST: I am Avinoam ("Avi") ben Mordechai. I am an old veteran of the radio broadcast industry. For me, radio programming was very different when I started in the early 1970s as a California "rock jock" radio personality and later in the 1980s as a Colorado radio programmer and secular and religious content talk show host. I selectively do live on-air radio programming where I find opportunity, but ultimately, whatever I pursue with my years of radio broadcast training is not formal. I seek to serve Yehovah with the gifts and talents that He has given to me.

Today, I am passionate about teaching the Bible in an understandable way to modern readers of ancient Scripture. The biblical studies I engage in through my teaching monologues and, in some cases, interviews with knowledgable academic researchers, are, at the very core, Hebraic studies, as I seek to connect the dots, so to speak, between the biblical Hebrew Bible and the Brit Hadasha (the New Covenant or "New Testament").

I aim to help Yehovah's students better understand His Word. I try hard to provide the Almighty Eternal One's students with the tools necessary to become thinking and reasoning followers in the Messianic claims and teachings of Yeshua from the Second Temple period of Israel's Judaism. I strive to provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental, and advanced learning environment where students of biblical Scripture can learn, grow, and develop in their knowledge of the Word of Yeshua HaMashiach (the promised Messiah for Jews and non-Jews alike) through a personal relationship with Yehovah, the Almighty Eternal One of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

Each posted podcast has a running time of 50 minutes divided into two 25-minute program segments. You may freely listen to and download them at your convenience. My strict policy is never to monetize them, meaning to turn them into opportunities for moneymaking or to accept advertisers. I do not ask any of my listeners to donate money to this program. If you are moved to give to this outreach ministry, this is between you and your great Father in Heaven.

Go in spiritual and emotional health.

Avinoam ben Mordechai

Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670The second of a two-part program addressing the topic of dealing with letting go of the shock of losing a loved one, whether due to a prolonged illness or the sudden and unexpected death of perhaps a husband, wife, child, mother, father, brother, sister, or an extended family member. How are we supposed to approach matters of this nature when they come to knock on our door, knowing it is clear that we must go on with life, though bereaved. It is not an easy matter to deal with. So, what is the answer? How are we to handle life when losing a loved one to the Sting of Death, which is the Last Enemy as spoken about in the Bible.Recently, I sat down for a candid dialogue with my wife to discuss this very issue because of her own experience in suddenly losing her deep friend and husband of 22 years. I, too, have had to handle the sudden death of my son at 24 years old, as well as dealing with the death of my two sibling brothers, each within one month of the other. Of course, some of you listening here have your own survival stories to tell. Together, I think we can all learn from each other that there is comfort and hope for believers in the redemption actions of Yeshua, the Messiah. But still, even in this, the throbbing pain of the passing away of a loved one takes time and a resolve to let them go, to begin a process of healing and closure. I’m Avi ben Mordechai, and here is the continuation of my discussion with my wife on this matter of Death: The Last Enemy, Letting Go, and Healing from the Pain.Real Israel Talk Radio Episode 163 Support the show

This new Law, which comes into effect on December 1, 2024, is not predominantly a digital identification scheme to acquire public and private sector goods and services securely and conveniently. Many governments worldwide align themselves with the program, albeit under duress, if they wish to function and trade in the global commerce landscape. On July 1, 2021, the UN officially made available a 257-page published work, “Remaking the World—The Age of Global Enlightenment.” The book is a collaboration between the Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI), which are divisions of the United Nations. The UN maintains an agenda with an embedded spiritual component describing a remaking or re-creating of the world based on Genesis 1:1-3 and 1:26 but calling their new world an “Age of Global Enlightenment.”Join me for Season 5 and Episode 160 of Real Israel Talk Radio as I discuss the Spiritual Anatomy of the Mark and the Image of the Beast. We will look into Revelation 13:18—the 666 calculated number of the Beast, potentially based on the Hebrew text of "HaNachash" in Genesis 3:1 and "HaMashiach" in Matthew 24:23-24.Support the show

Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670In this program, we will speak about Exodus 19:5-6, the Melchizedek link to the New Covenant Book of Hebrews chapters 6-8, and the exchange of the Levitical law for the higher and more superior Melchizedek law of the King/Priest Messiah. We will also look into the naming and birth of Yochanan or John the Baptist in Luke Chapter 1 as well as the significance of the ministry of John or Yochanan "the Baptist" and his immersion of Yeshua in the Jordan in Matthew 3:13 and how it relates to the ministry of Elijah in Malachi Chapters 3-4, who was a prophet divinely appointed to announce the restoration of all things before the coming of Messiah who must restore the fallen tent or Tabernacle of the House of David. Our discussion will also examine the context of Matthew 15:24-25 as it speaks about a Canaanite Woman and the bread that falls from the Master's Table. Further, we will also look into Galatians 3:19, which concerns a reference to the law of the Levitical Priesthood and how this speaks about the Melchizedek priesthood calling in light of the Spirit and Power of Elijah.Among the many religious issues of the Jewish people during the late Second Temple Period, a major point of conflict was about the festival and civil calendars of Judaism. Understanding this brings a further disclosure about the Priestly House of Tzadok in light of the 1947 discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls in the nearby caves of the Qumran area in the State of Israel.  Support the show
My Passover Haggadah: An Extended Experience of its Depths, Shadows, and Realities

My Passover Haggadah: An Extended Experience of its Depths, Shadows, and Realities
Please, feel free to send a text message here and give us feedback. Also, you may send a text msg or leave voicemail (425) 550-6670Each year at the season of Passover, multitudes of millions of Jewish people from all over the world, as well as those who are not natively born to the Jewish faith and culture, all gather together around each of their local family tables to remember a very special festival that is called Passover in the Bible. Why do they do this? What does it all mean, and particularly, HOW is the Passover table service conducted?With today’s episode of Real Israel Talk Radio (with an extended running time of one hour and 42 minutes),  I am going to present to you what I understand and appreciate about the Passover.  I will share with you my version of the biblical Haggadah or retelling of the Passover story. However, I will tell you the story from my point of view rather than from the culturally typical Jewish point of view. This means the readings and explanations that you will hear me speak about from my Haggadah will present according to a more non-traditional Jewish Seder. Essentially, my focus IS NOT designed to elevate the customary "fun" of the Passover with all of its typical table rituals, songs, and ceremonies that have come to shape the Jewish Passover of today. From my point of view, most of those rituals and ceremonies are merely SHADOWS of the True Passover as it relates to an unseen REALITY. My Passover Haggadah is designed to help us understand NOT WHAT the Passover is as a series of songs, prayers, and fun family time, but rather WHO the Passover is from a redemptive point of view.From my point of view, the Passover service is NOT a noun to elevate all the related ceremonies and table rituals of the event because I think this is a mistaken focus. As you will come to see from this program, the Passover is a verb designed to elevate an all-important Messianic redemption, which will point us to the solemn actions of the One called Yeshua, the Messiah. As I understand the event, the Passover, is about honoring the Messianic narratives of the New Covenant. Please, do come along for this journey into learning about the Passover from our presently-unseen Messianic Redeemer – One who WAS, who IS, and who IS TO COME.Support the show

Sadly, near the end of November 2023, attorney Iver Bruce Bye was the victim of a horrible assault on his life. He passed away on June 8, 2024, due to the serious head injuries that he received. Though it could be classified as murder, I do not want to go that far until I've had an opportunity to speak with his wife, Linda.   Iver was a faithful believer in Yeshua and the Torah. We shall meet him again on the Last Day great resurrection as Yeshua promised in John 6:40. Enjoy the program. Previously, in Part 1, we heard from California Attorney Iver Bye, who spoke about American Law and how it often relates to what is found written in the Bible. In today's program, Part 2, Attorney Iver Bye will talk more about the definitions of legal words. He will also take us on a brief journey into the backstory of the U.S. Constitution and a little about the framers and founders who brought us this essential document that defines the United States of America.Attorney Iver Bye has been active in courtroom trials and criminal law since graduating from law school in the late 1970s. However, what sets this attorney apart from many others in his legal profession is that over the past many decades, Iver has remained devoted to Biblical teachings and how they relate to us in everyday life. Let us now continue with where we left off from our last program.Support the show
