Messianic Torah Observant Israel

In the original Hebrew and Greek languages, the word ‘repentance’ is fundamentally the same: to turn around or turn back. Being a vital element of a relationship with the Creator, Elohim grants the gift of repentance to those He chooses. Within that gift of repentance is a sense of remorse and regret. When repentance is from a sincere heart, the relationship is restored.Rabbi Steve Berkson teaches the deep and sometimes hidden meaning of repentance and all it involves.• Review• Intro• What does it mean to repent?• Does that define me?• Matthew 3:1-12 – A warning to repent• The Kingdom is approaching • Draw near to Elohim• Matthew 3:3 – A voice crying out in the wilderness - Isaiah 40• See your Elohim!• You wanted to do it!• See your Elohim, correctly (Deut 4:1-22)• A warning (Deut 4:23-26) • Scattering and regathering (Deut 4:27-30) • Seeing and knowing him correctly (Deut 4:31-40) • The problem is you got involved
