Ancient Roads: Real Israel Talk Radio
ABOUT ME and THIS PODCAST: I am Avinoam ("Avi") ben Mordechai. 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 opportunity, but ultimately, whatever I pursue with my years of radio broadcast training is not formal. 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 to give to this outreach ministry, this is between you and your great Father in Heaven.
Go in spiritual and emotional health.

Analysis of the Passion Week Timeline (PART 19) Crucifixion on the 16th Events 24 - 25
We will learn four important principles in this extended (90-minute) podcast for Passover and Unleavened Bread (Festival of Matza). In fact, I think the information in this podcast is vital to learn and understand, particularly in these days in which we are living. Therefore, I strongly encourage you to download, listen and share this special 90-minute program with others. I think our time is very short, and we must get focused on biblical truth more than ever before. Here are the four principles that we are going to learn about Yeshua's crucifixion:
1) Yeshua, with his disciples, slaughtered, roasted, and ate a Passover Lamb on the 14th of the first month, precisely according to the instructions written in Exodus Chapter 12.
2) Yeshua was slaughtered (crucified) on the 16th of the first month, which is always remembered as the Second Day of Unleavened Bread (the Second Day of Matza).
3) Yeshua was dead for a composite period of three days and three nights multiplied by three, beginning on the 16th of the first month and concluding on the 18th of the first month. When Yeshua said, "three days and three nights," it was never meant to be understood as a precise 72 hours or six periods of 12 day hours and 12 night hours. Biblically, a composite day was always understood as one or more day and/or night parts coming together to define one composite "Day." This is where we get the Hebraic concept that part of a day or part of a night is still called a Day or a Night. Hebraic time is all about composites.
4) Yeshua stepped into the role of a Sin Offering but not on the 14th - Passover. There is a fundamental reason why his death happened the way it did, and we will understand the basis from the prophecies of Ezekiel 44:23-24, Malachi 2:7-8, and 2 Chronicles 29:1-16.
If you listen to any of these episodes in this series, I strongly recommend that you, at least, bend your ear to this one crucial special 90-minute episode. I remain confident that you will not regret the time spent.
