Sermon Transcript Tone Analysis

Hello, Rob Wilson here.

Welcome.

A Torah study, dedicated to all those who've gone before.

Hall of Fame, we've learned from.

And even those we haven't learned from that went before them.

Lord, we ask your blessing on our time together.

May your words be like the rain that falls.

like,

Microsoft drops for tender plants like a hard rain.

For those who need it.

Hard shower.

May your words instruct.

for many years, I've been asked to Lita online, Torah study blog type thing.

And for many years.

I've wondered when I'm ever going to start, and after many years here.

I am starting it off.

I'm using the semi septennial cycle.

This is an introduction to that cycle.

It's not an introduction to study.

But since we're going to be using the semi septennial cycle, I need some clarification.

People hear about this cycle.

They understand this cycle appreciate this cycle, but they don't know what it is and they get lost.

It's also called The Triangle Cycle.

It's also called the Palestinian cycle.

Most accurately.

It's described as the semi septennial or twice and 7 years cycle.

Their other names.

But for convenience will generally call it the semi septennial or the triennial cycle.

They're the same thing.

They're not different in my use.

Please understand that.

How did I get here?

A lot of people say Rob.

How did you get involved in this Torah study?

It doesn't make any sense to me.

And I generally reply.

Would you like to know what Jesus studied?

Would you like to read Jesus Bible?

If you would, this is how you get there.

So a long time ago, not in a galaxy far, far away where I here in Dayton.

Long time ago, a good friend asked me 26 years ago.

If it was important to study, Jesus Bible.

I was invited to attend a weekly Torah study taught by Dwight Pryor.

This is the cycle.

I believe.

Now, after many years of thinking about it and study that Jesus in the early church studied.

They studied tour of the prophets in the Psalms every week.

And so I began attending whitefriars weekly Torah study group.

And I soon realized that such a store that studies.

This was like water to my soul.

It seems like every week, the thing I needed the thing I most needed in my life is what I was learning week after week after week if became like life.

and so, I continued Even after Dwight got too busy to continue with the weekly study.

When that happened, two of us decided we better step up.

So we increased our study resources, our knowledge, our availability.

And we began to lead the Torah study.

And so today, I'm still involved in such a study and I praise the Lord for that.

Amen.

And amen.

I'm using the semi septennial cycle.

Why would I want to use this cycle?

I want to be as close to Jesus as I can get.

I want to hear him teach.

I want to walk with him.

I want to be familiar with the scriptures.

Jesus's disciples New Testament.

Authors everyone in the early church used an ancestor of this triennial cycle.

Some evidence and traditions of the cycle still remain, we have about nine hundred and twelve fragments that tie the prophets to the Torah from this type of cycle.

We have access to the clothes descendants of such Traditions from the land.

We discovered many of them just before the turn of the twentieth century.

The beginning of the 20th century in a small synagogue in Cairo.

The fragments were found in the Cairo.

Geniza.

Many other fragments have been found since then, the Dead Sea Scrolls and set have been found.

And we have many, many fragments that connect us to as close as we can get to the, to the words, the teachings of Jesus.

When I was studying with Dwight.

We studied the annual cycle what most Jews today's study.

And it was a very blessed time, but the triennial cycle the semi septennial cycle is far more Messianic and expectation and celebration.

Then the annual cycle is we want to be as close as we can.

So if this cycle is closer to what Jesus used, we'd like to use it.

And if we can get closer than that, we'd like to get even more clothes, but we'll try as well as we can to get as close to Jesus.

Amen.

Amen.

Why study Torah anyway, who said we should study Torah?

Well, God, did God did.

It did around me 17 he tells them when you said a king over you he will study.

This love is Torah all the days of his life.

And in Deuteronomy 31 is as Moses has given his final address to Israel.

He instructs them using.

Apparently, the words of God that every year seven years, every seven years at the year of shmita, the Year release, the year of freeing, the captives, the year of renewing, the land of giving the the land back to the original owners to give to give the land back to God.

That's a coat.

So let's meet at Sukkot read the Torah to all of Israel.

So they'll learn to fear the lord, your God.

God wanted them to read his instruction at least once every seven years at least, once every seven years.

So he commanded it.

He commanded they read.

And so they did Nehemiah 8 when they returned from the Babylonian captivity.

they realized they've been not reading it in the same way.

They should be reading it.

So as rested up and read the whole of Torah at the year sweet-talk, possibly new coat around Sukkot anyway, and many people stood by azra and help the people to learn to here to understand what Ezra was teaching Nehemiah 8.

If you want to look that up.
