Hey Dan Blessings on you I just found this video as I was doing the exact same thing! I was reviewing the ‘Barkat Kohanim’ looking at the Hebrew, counting letters, seeing the patterns, and you talked about the very thing I was studying. So encouraged! I pray more people could look at scripture this way and see Jesus on every page of the OT. Thx. Chris

1. How will Israel’s return from exile be like the exodus from Egypt? 2. In what way is the Valley of Achor a door of hope? 3. The Hebrew word cherem, #2764, is complicated in that it appears to have meanings that are opposite of each other; ie: devoted and dedicated, accursed and doomed. How are these apparently opposite meanings connected? What does it really mean to be consecrated in terms of the broad definitions of cherem? In what way does Achan fulfill or fit these varied definitions of cherem? 4. Israel prospered at the time of Jeroboam despite the clear warnings in the Torah from Moses and the words spoken by Hosea about service to other gods. How is their devotion or dedication of their prosperity to foreign gods like the sin of Achan? 5. What other insights did you gain from this teaching?
