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.

Decoding the Zadokite Calendar PART 3: the Pattern of Intercalation for 2025
Can we ever hope to solve the problem of nearly 2,000 years of calendar wars regarding when to keep the weekly Sabbath and the biblical feasts?
In this PART 3 episode of decoding the Dead Sea Scrolls Calendrical Documents belonging to the 24 Zadokite priestly families of 1 Chronicles chapter 24, we will learn about 18 years of research into the biblical concept of "intercalation." This is a mathematical system to reconcile the divinely timed cycles of the Sun and the Moon and how both testify as two witnesses to the proper doing of the weekly seventh-day Sabbath and all the biblical festivals. The 364-day cycle of the Sun and the 354-day cycle of the Moon each have programmed and assigned time cycles that are governed by the mathematics of intercalation. Appropriately applied in tandem with the precision rotations of the 24 Zadokite priestly families and their assigned schedules from 1 Chronicles 24, this guarantees that the seventh-day weekly Sabbath and all the biblical festivals of the Bible never shift away or drift out from their eternally appointed days and seasons.
From all this, we will discover one thing: DO NOT intercalate and add 7 days at the Spring Equinox of 2025 to celebrate the Hebrew Bible's biblical new year on Wednesday, March 26th, 2025. Fresh, irrefutable research will now prove to us from the two witnesses of Heaven and Earth—the Sun and the Moon—that the biblical Hebrew Covenant New Year should be observed on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Learn and discover why this is vital information to know.
