What Is the Good News? | Part 9

The English noun gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term godspell, meaning “glad tidings.” It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means “good message.” Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.html

While mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.

Didn’t the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?

If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?

Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?

As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.

Afterburn | What Is the Good News? | Part 9

We recommend watching the full teaching, https://youtu.be/kOinhclkS70, before watching this episode.

Afterburn: also known in the fitness world as the “afterburn effect.” Simply put, the more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward.

This effect could occur spiritually after Rabbi Berkson’s intense teachings each week. This Afterburn Q&A session allows your mind and soul to consume more understanding (oxygen).

Some of the topics covered are:
00:00 Intro
00:26 Should Jewish people be esteemed over others today?
02:33 Who is the “Mixed Multitude”?
07:11 They don’t understand the Covenant
09:31 You get the same reward?
10:58 A testimonial of “Who I am”
13:26 What does adoption mean spiritually?
16:47 Provoke Israel to jealousy?
21:26 About being submissive
24:48 How is Isaiah 53 talking about Israel?
27:12 Shouldn’t we all be Israel?
27:36 This is complete selfishness
32:27 What does the sin of Adam and Eve have to do with the regathering?
34:10 More about adoption…cautious expectation
37:01 I don’t mean to be an “ask-hole,” but more on Romans 11:29?
