The Shemitah and Blood Moon Tetrad

These notes and recordings are a series of studies presented by my wife, Trenna Bingham, in response to questions from class members about how we should view the popular books and articles related to the Shemitah and Blood Moon tetrad they are hearing about today.  Like the previous series on the Jewish Feasts, the most important takeaway is to BE READY!!!  I’ve included both her Keynote slide deck and a PDF of it for those who don’t have a Mac.  😉

(8/14/15) Here is a new resource I created in preparation for teaching this content again in another setting.  It is a timeline of the last eight seven year Shemitah cycles, along with the blood moons, jubilee years, and major economic and Israel-related events.

After listening to these again as I prepared them to post, I can only ask again that you listen.

One Thing for 2015

As I typically do at the beginning of each new year, this lesson is a special challenge for the year for my group.  It is a call to commit to daily Bible reading.  First, we recognize why we so often need to make New Year’s resolutions:  a lack of self-discipline.  Next we come to understand how a lack of self-discipline is rooted in our unwillingness to control our minds.  Then we learn how daily Bible reading will positively affect our lives by bringing our thoughts in line with God’s and help us make better choices.

The One Thing for 2015

You’ll notice that some of the presentation notes are blank.  That’s because I have taught that content before and didn’t have time to type in the explanations.  And because I knew I would be adding the audio to the post that would fill in the blanks, as well.  AAC format usable in iTunes and with iPods.  59 min., 29MB
