Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio

236 episodes - English - Latest episode: 10 days ago -

ABOUT ME and THIS PODCAST: I am Avinoam ("Avi") ben Mordechai Marcus. I am an old veteran of the radio broadcast industry. For me, radio programming was very different when I started in the early 1970s as a California "rock jock" radio personality and later in the 1980s as a Colorado radio programmer and secular and religious content talk show host. I selectively do live on-air radio programming where I find opportunities but ultimately, whatever I pursue with my years of radio broadcast training, it is not for myself. I seek to serve Yehovah with the gifts and talents that He has given to me. 

Today, I am passionate about teaching the Bible in an understandable way to modern readers of ancient Scripture. The biblical studies I engage in through my teaching monologues and, in some cases, interviews with knowledgable academic researchers, are, at the very core, Hebraic studies, as I seek to connect the dots, so to speak, between the biblical Hebrew Bible and the Brit Hadasha (the New Covenant or "New Testament").

I aim to help Yehovah's students better understand His Word. I try hard to provide the Almighty Eternal One's students with the tools necessary to become thinking and reasoning followers in the Messianic claims and teachings of Yeshua from the Second Temple period of Israel's Judaism. I strive to provide a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental, and advanced learning environment where students of biblical scripture can learn, grow and develop in their knowledge of the Word of Yeshua HaMashiach (the promised Messiah for Jews and non-Jews alike) through a personal relationship with Yehovah, the Almighty Eternal One of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 

Each posted podcast has a running time of 50 minutes divided into two 25-minute program segments. You may freely listen to and download them at your convenience. My strict policy is never to monetize them, meaning to turn them into opportunities for moneymaking or to accept advertisers. I do not ask any of my listeners to donate money to this program. If you are moved in your heart to give to this outreach ministry, this is between you and your great Father in Heaven. 

Go in spiritual and emotional health.

Each year at the season of Passover, multitudes of millions of Jewish people from all over the world, as well as those who are not natively born to the Jewish faith and culture, all gather together around each of their local family tables to remember a very special festival that is called Passover in the Bible. Why do they do this? What does it all mean, and particularly, HOW is the Passover table service conducted? With today’s episode of Real Israel Talk Radio (with an extended running ti...

Last Passover Week Chronology of Yeshua: Series Summary and Final Program in the Series (PART 30 of 30 Episodes)

February 18, 2024 10:00 - 1 hour - 45.9 MB

In this Real Israel Talk Radio episode, I will close my 30-part series on the Last Passover Week Chronology of Yeshua. With this extended study (one hour and six minutes), I will summarize all I have presented since starting the series.  I will begin and end with three questions: 1)  How did Yeshua manage to DO (meaning, TO BE THE PASSOVER LAMB) and also to EAT the Passover Lamb with his disciples precisely according to Exodus Chapter 12? 2)  How did Yeshua come to be called the PASSOVER ...

Qumran Zadokites and their Allies (7 of 7): their New Covenant Writings and First-Century Judaism (7 of 7)

January 28, 2024 06:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

We read from the Hebrew text of Psalm 110:4 - "Yehovah has made AN OATH and will He will not be comforted [with any other decree], “You are a Cohen or Priest forever through The WORD of Melchizedek.” English translations usually express this as “The Order of Melchizedek,” but based on the context of Psalm 110:4, it is not about a religious or spiritual group, order, or society. The Hebrew root supporting "The Order" of Melchizedek is D-V-R (Dalet-Vet-Resh), which is about Yehovah’s SPEECH o...

Qumran Zadokites and their Allies (6 of 7): Their Distinctive New Covenant or New Testament Terminology

January 12, 2024 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

Beginning around 150 years before Yeshua, the Pharisee was called a Hasid because the Hebrew term means a “loyalist.” In other words, Pharisees were political and religious loyalists supportive of the family dynasty of the Hasmoneans. The Tzadokim, or Sadducees, relates to the term Zadok, which was a different group of priests not related to the Sons of the House of Tzadok at Qumran. It appears from surviving documents of the time that they took their name from Zadok, an early disciple of An...

Rise, Fall, and Rising Again of the House and Sons of Tzadok - Concluding Summary (5 of 6)

December 29, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

What we know is that the Levitical Sadducees were not legally of the bloodline of Aaron to Eleazar to Phinchas to Tzadok. Rather, they were more likely of the line of Aaron’s son Ithamar, whose priestly line ended in the days of King Solomon, but they continued seeking priestly legitimacy going back to the days of the Hasmoneans. Consider that they held prominent political and religious appointments that were NOT the rightful and true House of Tzadok in the days of King David. When Stephen...

Within the priestly line of Tzadok, there were several well-known priests, according to Nehemiah 11:11, which included such personalities such as Jeremiah the Prophet (Jeremiah 1:1) and Ezra the Priest/Scribe (Ezra 7:1-5).

Today's episode continues our study of the well-known House of Tzadok (the "Zadokites") as it relates to the life of Yeshua, Hebrew Scripture, and the New Covenant. Recall from Hebrew Scripture a hereditary line that began with Abraham and then to Isaac, to Jacob.

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 22) Ascension, First Fruits, and the Omer Event 27

July 07, 2023 16:00 - 49 minutes - 34.4 MB

Let us examine the biblical terminology often called “First Fruits” or “Bikkurim.” This terminology is often confused with another ceremony called the Omer Wave-Sheaf offering, more accurately referred to in biblical parlance as Reisheet Katzir – Harvest of the First Cutting of the Grain. "First Fruits" is about the scriptural festival of Shavuot or Pentecost. The timing of the festival was understood from Leviticus 23:15-16 and based on two different points of view.  1.

Once again, remember that in Pharisaic and Second Temple times, two different festival calendars were operationally running side by side.  1)     The Pharisaic and Sadducean traditional sighted moon calendar. One day always advances to the next day, beginning with sunset.  2)     The House of Tzadok priestly calculated sevens' solar calendar.

If we want to understand the timing of Yeshua's Third-Day resurrection, we must first understand how the priestly families of the House of Tzadok ("Zadok") defined a day. For the priestly House of Tzadok (Ezekiel 44:23-24), a 24-hour day was measured from sunrise to sunrise.  For the Pharisee Separatists, a 24-hour day was measured from sunset to sunset. These measurements of the passage of time were two reckoning systems that operated side-by-side at the time of Yeshua’s public ministry. ...

On our podcast today, we'll look at the gospel narratives showing us that it was now early Thursday morning the second day of Unleavened Bread (Aviv 16) according to the House of Tzadok reckoning of the annual festivals BUT according to Judean reckoning, it was Aviv (Nisan) 14 - the Passover Preparation Day (John 19:14). Yeshua was once again brought before Pilate for a SECOND INTERVIEW early in the morning at about 0600 hours. His FIRST INTERVIEW was the day before, on Wednesday morning at ...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 17) events 15-20 dealing with the legalities of Yeshua's legal trial

March 19, 2023 07:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

It is often assumed that Yeshua’s overnight inquisition was under the auspices of a legal hearing conducted by Annas and his family. Be assured, there was nothing legal about it. The real and legal trial of Yeshua began at sunrise and continued through the bulk of the daylight hours. In the early morning of the fourth day of the week - "Wednesday" - at about 0600 hours on what was the first day of Unleavened Bread (according to the Sons of Tzadok calendar of sevens),  Yeshua's legal "crimin...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 16): Event Numbers 14-16 Peter's Denials and Two Crows of the Rooster

March 11, 2023 14:00 - 49 minutes - 34.4 MB

In today's program, we will continue with our study in Event Number 14 and look into the life of Annas also called Ananias or Annas, and his son-in-law Caiaphas as referenced in Luke 3:1 and Luke 16:19-31. A coregency of two high priests was not permitted in biblical law, and yet here we see that both are in fact called "high priests." So, what's up with this?  We will also take a deep dive into the timing of Peter's three denials of Yeshua and the two crows of the Rooster. We will study th...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 15): Event Numbers 12-15 - Garden Arrest and Overnight Inquisition

March 04, 2023 14:00 - 49 minutes - 34.4 MB

With today's program, let's begin with the arresting officers of the Judean High Court recorded in John 18:12 -  Then the detachment [of troops] and the captain and the officers of the Judeans arrested Yeshua and bound him.  Those who were sent to apprehend Yeshua in the Garden of the Mount of Olives were officers dispatched by the Temple priests and the religious Judeans, sent to arrest Yeshua and deliver him to the religious authorities for breaching Jewish religious laws. These officers...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 14): Event Number 11 - Journey to the Mount of Olives and the Song of Praise

February 25, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

Let's begin with Matthew 26:30.  "And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives."  We must ask the question, Why did Yeshua go out to Har HaZeitim, that is, the Mount of Olives? And on leaving the guest room late on Passover, what song did they sing on their way to the Mount of Olives?      The Mount of Olives is a mountain of three peaks that separates the Judean Desert in the east from the city of Jerusalem in the west. An alternate name given to the Mountain, as ci...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 13): Event Number 10 - Passover Dipping Ceremony

February 11, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

Let us read from Matthew 26:20-23. (and also John 13:26). When evening had come, He sat down with the twelve. Now, as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me.” And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Master, is it I?” He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. In this series episode, let’s talk about the Passover tradition of dipping. The practice of dipping implies that Yeshua...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 12): Event Number 9 - Crucifixion of Yeshua

February 04, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

The four-gospel accounts of Yeshua’s crucifixion and third-day resurrection do not seem to flow chronologically as we might like them to. Collectively, the gospel narratives inform us of the events of his last week in a rather disjointed and, in some cases, totally confusing way. Often, as we try to follow the events and make good sense of them, it brings up more questions than it does answers. With today's podcast, Episode 125, and Part 12, I will continue to analyze the final week of Yesh...

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 10): Event Number 7

January 21, 2023 14:00 - 50 minutes - 34.4 MB

The four-gospel accounts of Yeshua’s crucifixion and third-day resurrection do not seem to flow chronologically as we might like them to. Collectively, the four gospel narratives appear moderately disjointed and, in some cases, totally confusing! Suppose you have done any detailed comparison readings of the chronology of Yeshua's final Passover week, as many biblical scholars have done throughout the centuries. In that case, you will inevitably run across many chronological inconsistencies....
