Messiah Yeshua said we were supposed to have in us wells of living water springing up to eternal life. Do those wells ever run dry? If so, what do we do? David Jones and Barry Phillips ponder these questions in this conversation.

What does salvation have to do with Israel’s return from exile to their ancestral homeland? What does Messiah have to do with the distinction between clean and unclean animals? Those are among the questions addressed in this third part of our conversation with Bob O’Dell about The Echoes Bible. Bob leads us through an investigation of the echoes from Leviticus 20 in Romans 10, and in the process uncovers a number of connections that provide depth and breadth to our faith!

And regarding our faith, is Bible study a manly activity? Barry Phillips and David Jones have some thoughts on that in their midrash, “Be A Man.” Yes, godly men are people of action, but there are elements of peace and praise in their lives, as we hear in the music of Eved Adonai and the Aleph Tav Band.

There are currently three volumes of The Echoes Bible in print: Leviticus & Romans, Numbers & 1 Corinthians, and Deuteronomy & 2 Corinthians. More are on the way! To learn more and to purchase The Echoes Bible volumes, visit https://www.echoesbible.com/.

Is it possible that the Apostle Paul intentionally organized his letter to the Romans according to the topical outline of Leviticus? Bob O’Dell contends that Paul not only did that with Romans, but also with his other letters. That’s why he and his colleagues are publishing The Echoes Bible as a multivolume study tool to uncover these New Testament connections with the Torah! We dive into those echoes of Leviticus and Romans in this second of our five-part conversation.

One well-known echo in scripture is Yeshua’s reference in John 3 to the Bronze Serpent of Numbers 21. Barry Phillips and David Jones investigate the wider and deeper meanings of that connection in their midrash, “Out of the Mouths of Snakes.” It’s really a matter of how we get along with others, as we hear in the music of Solomon Lopez and Will Spires.

Do we really have faith if we're not taking action on what we say we believe? That's the question Barry Phillips and David Jones consider in this conversation.

Even a casual reader of the New Testament notices that the writers refer to passages from the Old Testament, or Tanakh. That means Paul and his contemporaries were aware of what Moses and the Prophets wrote, but did they have a deeper purpose and pattern in their writing that goes beyond simple quotations and references?

This is the line of thinking that motivated Bob O’Dell and his colleagues to look for patterns, or echoes, from the Torah in the Gospels and Epistles of the Apostolic Writings. What they found is astounding: the New Testament books precisely mirror, or echo, the books of the Torah! Whether this was intentional on the part of the apostolic authors, or divine guidance from the Holy Spirit, the patterns are clearly identifiable.

The result of all this is publication of The Echoes Bible, a series of volumes pairing books of the Torah with the echoing books from the Apostolic Writings. In this five-part interview, Bob tells us the story of The Echoes Bible, and takes us into an investigation of the echoes of Leviticus that Paul built into Romans. This is just a sample of the many treasures opening up through this new lens of looking at scripture!

How we look at scripture, and how we look at life, is a question of perspective, as Barry Phillips and David Jones explain in their midrash, “Follow Your Eyes Or Not.” Two musical commentaries on this thought come from the creative talents of Peter Wales and Ray Myers.

Is reality based on our perceptions, or is it the other way around? What do we do when our perceptions and reality don't line up? These are important questions - especially when our perceptions and God's reality seem to be at odds. That's the point of this conversation with Barry Phillips and David Jones.

One of the items to be addressed in the Messianic age is the enmity between Christians and Jews. These are the two halves of God’s Covenant People of Israel, identifiable in scripture as Ephraim and Judah. Isaiah tells us what their reconciliation will look like:

The jealousy of Ephraim shall depart,
and those who harass Judah shall be cut off;
Ephraim shall not be jealous of Judah,
and Judah shall not harass Ephraim.
Isaiah 11:13 ESV

Isaiah doesn’t tell us exactly how this will happen, which is why it’s wise to ask our Heavenly Father about it. Tzefania Pappas has not only done that, but he and his wife, Reyyna, have been walking out the counsel they have received from the Lord to do their part in healing this breach. In this special podcast, Tzefania shares a word he recently received about Ephraim’s attitudes and actions toward our Jewish brethren, which can be described as detached, distant, out of place, and aloof.

There is hope, of course. As Tzefania explains, the God of Israel has a plan to heal this breach and fulfill his promises – and he calls on all of us to do our part!

The Armor of God isn't complicated - or is it? Maybe there's more to what Paul meant when he described this spiritual armor in Ephesians 6. That's what David Jones and Barry Phillips discuss.
