The name Hosea means salvation. In this final chapter, we must ask ourselves if we understand the things spoken in this book to attain it. Hosea 14:9 “Who is wise, and he shall understand these things? prudent, and he shall know them? for the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them: but the transgressors …

Countless times I have heard “I don’t worship this!” as they point to the jewelry hanging on their neck. Hosea 13:2 “And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that …

The prosperity of our people is in the Heavenly Father. Job 36:11 “If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.” An example of this is our father Jacob. After being blessed by his father Isaac, he fled from his brother Esau (whom he battled from the womb). This caused him …

Earlier chapters of this book, undoubtedly informs us of the Messiah (Christ) directly. Matthew 2:15 “And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.” Some background is needed to understand what this verse is speaking of, Herod was …

When we began recording the Bible Readings we chose the book of Hosea because it coincided with the one year plan. Hopefully you read fully the book and are keeping up with the plan. It would have been nice to have the audio out at the same time as those reading. Nevertheless this book addresses a grave topic, idolatry (images, …

The book of Proverbs is a collection of sayings that was written by Solomon. Unlike most sayings these are rooted in the commandments of God which means they have wisdom. 1st Chronicles 22:12 “Only the LORD give thee wisdom and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel, that thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.” This was …

Learning from the beginning of the scriptures reveals to us the desire of our Creator. Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” In this class we learn an obvious example of a commandments (law) that provides evidence that it was given by …

Christ taught that we would be known by our fruits. Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” Verse 16: “Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?” Keeping in mind what we learned yesterday of the analogy of our …

The concept taught by the Apostle Paul of men being considered the first fruits is found within this chapter. Hosea 9:10 “I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your fathers as the firstripe in the fig tree at her first time: but they went to Baalpeor, and separated themselves unto that shame; and their abominations were according …

To begin afresh, it takes some evaluation. Then you will be able to devote yourself properly to your goals. Otherwise the purpose of renewing yourself is a pointless ritual, sabotaged by superstition. Psalms 51:10 “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” From within, if the desire to be renewed is true then …

The scriptures in our ancient language (Hebrew) used to be sung; this was the case even before the book of Psalms was written. The book of Psalms actually means songs. James 5:13 “Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.”This book contains very good prayers, especially for those in affliction that do not …

A year ago, a podcast was uploaded called “Mercy from the Beginning”. That class covers one of the most overlooked facts which proves intelligent design from the Creator. The lights in the sky (the sun, moon, and stars) have another purpose, which is to determine time. Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 43:6 “He made the moon also to serve in her season for …

As much as I like music, we must understand the value of listening to the scriptures. Hosea 9:17 “My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.” To get our people to listen (hearken) is a challenge in itself. Jeremiah 6:10 “To whom shall I speak, and give …

A new month begins this weekend 1/5/2019 at sundown, it will be the 11th month according to the Hebrew Calendar. As you might remember we started a tradition last month of updating the audio downloads monthly the day before the new moon. See, Isaiah 66:22-24. That means it will be a double Sabbath, for the seventh day begins tonight and …

It is very important to familiarize ourselves with what is written in the Holy Scriptures. As a people we have been so far removed that the laws seem to us as something strange. Hosea 8:12 “I have written to him the great things of my law, but they were counted as a strange thing.” As this scripture pointed out, the …

Many are met with the mercy of the Heavenly Father and either ignore it or just do not have the ability to acknowledge it. If by chance you are of the few that discovered this great mystery, do not take it for granted. In this chapter we learn, how in the past our forefathers returned but it wasn’t sincere. The …

As we discussed yesterday, there are many sayings that our people have to justify living in sin. When confronted with the teachings of the law the first reaction is to look for blame in the person. Philippians 2:15 “That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, …

This will be the start of a new series called “Wicked Proverbs of Today”. The title may seem confusing but when you listen to this introduction it will clearly explain why there are some proverbs which means sayings that are wicked. Obviously those sayings do not come from the book of Proverbs. However they are very popular among our people, …

At times our people ask why they suffer oppression or injustice. One of the reasons explained in this chapter is because they “willing walked after the commandment” of men while rejecting those of God. Christ explains this in detail in Mark 7:6-8. Since the whoredom of Israel was to go and worship false gods; such as stocks meaning a tree …

It is time to “Hear the word of the LORD”, as this chapter declares. Why are the minds of our people so far from truth? Whoredom and not being sober takes away the heart. For this reason our people are flooded with content (music, videos, pictures, etc..) everyday to capture their attention towards the trap. After your mind, heart, and …

The Israelites want no folly, Navigating through life this week you might have heard, “Happy Holidays”. As if the person saying it celebrates the Feast of Dedication or what they might call Hanukkah. In this society, we are taught from little that this is the season greetings. They say that religion is forbidden in public schools but just like the …

As you should be aware, this entire week we are celebrating the Feast of Dedication. Moreover tonight begins a new month (moon) according to the Hebrew (God’s) Calendar. Psalms 81:3 “Blow up the trumpet in the new moon, in the time appointed, on our solemn feast day.” Verse 4: “For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of …

As we prepare for the weekly Sabbath, Luke 23:54 “And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.” Drawing near along side the Sabbath is the feast of Dedication of the Altar. John 10:22 “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.” Israel we go hard with our celebrations, especially this feast. …

Shalam (Peace) Brothers and Sisters,
The previous podcast briefly explained the reason for use of the phrase “Law of Moses”. The history is mind blowing especially what God said in relation to the teachings of Moses. It might explain why Christ said in Matthew 5:17 “Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”

The radio station playlist has been updated again. Yesterday we uploaded a righteous song called “Feast Night”. Also we have the new episode of “Law of Moses or of God?”. If you have noticed, the playlist has been mainly bible readings and podcasts. There are very few songs right now. But we intend for the upcoming feast of Dedication of …

The downfall of the nation of Israel as Hosea puts it was whoredom. Meaning they committed adultery against the Heavenly Father by seeking after other gods. Although Hosea makes us understand clearly the sin, some have actually attempted to justify their sin. Some brothers that wear purple have asked “Are Images Wrong?”. They accuse brothers that teach against the sin …

Hopefully by now, you used the many options to hear the first chapter of Hosea. There was so much that could be learned from the first chapter. Such as, how the children of Israel went into whoredom by departing from their faith and worshiping false gods. The ultimate result that is a great mystery in this world is that the …

Some have said that history is written by the victorious but we know that history could not be re-written. Apocrypha Ecclesiasticus 42:19 “He [the most High God] declareth the things that are past, and for to come, and revealeth the steps of hidden things.” The lies eventual are discovered. Obadiah Verse 6: “How are the things of Esau searched out! …

The hidden treasure of the playlist. Isaiah 45:3 “And I will give thee the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that thou mayest know that I, the LORD, which call thee by thy name, am the God of Israel.” Some of us are not as computer savvy therefore today we want to explain how to reveal the …

Shalam (Peace) Brothers and Sisters,
In a time when lawlessness is increasing; especially in the religions of Churchianity. It is taught that Christ introduced a different doctrine, opposing the “Law of Moses”. Let’s investigate this question, what if Christ is spoken of in the “Law of Moses”?

Although you could directly download from our site the Bible Readings audio, some find podcast apps to be convenient. The scriptures say (Matthew 10:8) freely ye have received, freely give. The word of the Heavenly Father should not be for sale or to receive financial gains, by anyone. As we should all know, the Hebrew word Sabbath means rest, hence …

Yesterday we introduced Bible Readings on the radio station to assist you in the one year plan. Today we want to introduce to you a new feature on The Scripture website. As audio files are uploaded, each chapter within the Online Bible will reflect the change. More importantly the audio file is available for download directly from the site. This …

Faith comes by hearing: In the beginning of the month we published a Bible Reading Plan, hopefully you are already using it. If you have not begun, we are providing you a tool that could help you catch up. Today we uploaded on the radio station Hosea chapter 1. Once you listen you will see how quick and easy it …

In this age, there is a rising interest in learning about genetic background. Many turn to DNA for their answer as an alternative way to fill the gaps of their history and family tree. However the answers they receive are ambiguous relating to race or lineage. On YouTube you will see results that are at best comedic. The trend of …

Shalam (Peace) Brothers and Sisters,
An interesting phrase that comes up in the Bible is the “Law of Moses”. But what does it exactly mean? Did Moses make up these laws himself? How do we know the difference between what is God’s law and those that belong to Moses? These questions are important to explore. Hopefully this lesson could establish the difference.

James 1:4 “But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.” Thank you all that have been patiently waiting for the podcasts lessons to resume. We have been working to make the site more entire and able to handle the traffic we receive. We did some really nerdy work on the back-end and …

Grace is given to the doers: At times there is a class that impacted you but it’s not playing on 12T.CO Radio anymore or your podcast app does not list it. On the other hand, you do not want to listen to the same thing over and over again; therefore the radio playlist must be updated frequently. Hopefully you visited …

Grace unto the hearers:
Years ago we got to complete the mission of having our own radio station. At first it was running smooth with no hiccups; the content was great, a nice mix of music, classes, and audio Bible. We even got five star reviews on Facebook. However we started having issues with listeners getting disconnected as the audience increased. This major problem honestly made us revamp and upgrade our radio station. If you stopped listening because of the intermittent connection, we want you to come back and give the radio station another try. I could confidently tell you that the issue has been fully resolved. Since it’s no longer like the traditional radio that streams content. Now you have more control; you could choose from a playlist what you want to hear, shuffle the playlist, or put it on repeat. You could even fast forward or go back in the timeline. That means you are not missing any portion of the class anymore. Let us know what you think!

12T.CO Radio: http://12t.co/en/radio.html

To the 12 Tribes scattered abroad greetings: Once upon a time, we introduced a streaming radio station similar to the traditional sense; meaning with minimal control that could not be fast forwarded, paused, etc.. At that time we were extremely excited because it meant for us not to use outside for profit companies like BlogTalkRadio. Today we would like to …

With the beginning of a new month its a great opportunity for those that want to begin reading the Bible.  The most popular book in the world is the Bible; over 100 million are sold or given away every year. It is ironic, how the vast majority of people have never read it entirely. Many that possess this book use …

As a believer in Christ we should do our best to live after his foot steps and his words. John 8:31 “Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;” See also 1st Peters 2:21. Before Christ suffered for us he was celebrating the Passover with the …

Today is widely recognized as Saint Valentines Day and many will be purchasing gifts for their amorous interests. Unfortunately there is not enough love. Are you going to continue wasting your resources? Contrary to popular belief the origins of this day does not have anything to do with celebrating the death of a saint that married couples. Even if it was so that is still idolatrous; Deuteronomy 26:14 “I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of the LORD my God, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.” As the History Channel’s website declares clearly it is an effort to so call Christianize the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. It further explains that Pope Gelasus ended the celebration of Lupercalia by imposing another celebration that had nothing to do with love.

If there is true love there will be no need to buy an expensive gift. Romans 13:8 “Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.” The way you show love to any, especially your woman or love interest is by keeping the laws towards her. Don’t treat her like a cheap whore, but owe her your love all the days of your life. Song of Solomon 1:2 “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.” A real sister that is a woman of virtue understands that your love is better than a wine and dine. Unlike these pagans that have weird rituals, or the women today that might celebrate this year with Donald and next year with another chump; Proverbs 28:19 “He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.”

It would be very strange for a person to reject money; in fact many seek and even pay for financial advice. Debt, and misuse of finances is one of the causes of poverty. The truth is that no one likes to take accountability for their actions therefore they do not seek to rectify and give themselves a chance. People do not want to hear the truth for free but they will pay to hear something that they cannot achieve in relation to money. It takes discipline and diligence to make progress. Proverbs 22:11 “He that loveth pureness of heart, for the grace of his lips the king shall be his friend.” Otherwise if you do not like to be spoken words from a pure heart there will be nothing but waste. Luke 15:13 “And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.”

In this time period is hard to find examples of good parents. What you will typically find in the news or online is how the love of many parents has turned cold. In the scriptures we find that our righteous forefathers had great care of their children and future generations. By their faith they obtained promises and wealth that they passed down far into the future. Genesis 17:7 “And I will establish my covenant between me and thee [Abraham] and thy seed [children] after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee.”

Today I was fortunate to be home while it was a snowy day in NYC. Lately I have been meditating on a few ideas to record about but the one that stood out is the recent weather conditions. Don’t worry this podcast is not about any forecast, I’m not a meteorologist. Instead is about some simple facts that we might know and overlook that could make a difference at how we continue living.

The title sounds a little funny but all I could tell you is that there is no Ashtun Kutcher on this one. Once you hear the class you will understand this statement and how true it is. I have met many that sought help, however they did not want to take the steps required. Many that were given the answers to their problems but they thought “it’s too simple” or “it can’t be this easy”. At some point you have to ask yourself from where comes my help? Many in the holy book needed help which they received. One thing they all had in common is that it took action and faith. While some will only trust in their own hands believing that their achievements was without help. They have no peace, all they do is think of their troubles and can’t sleep. They are consumed by the world and choked on every side.

P.S. this class was featured on our radio station and it was meant to be during the feast of dedication which has ended.

People question whether there is a God, however they could not explain why things exists. As we continue our study in search for the answer “Does God Love You?” we learn of an intelligent design. That not only proves the existence of God but of his mercy.

At some point in your life you will question if a particular person loves you. With your love interest you might get an answer you do not want to hear. Or if you are shy you will never ask and possibly lose out. However, the question of whether God Loves you might never come up in your mind. The reason is that everyone automatically assumes that God loves them. It is very likely that you heard someone tell you “God loves you”. Are they correct? Well in this audio lesson we bring up this question and we also ask for your help in spreading the truth by sharing the newsletters. Believe me you won’t have to say “God loves you” to get someones attention…lol

scribe unto the Shemites: In the United States, it is taught that civilization began with the Greeks. Although that is very far from reality, the statement is true if it’s put into context. Putting aside the attempt to teach white supremacy in history class. What is meant is that the first “civilization” for whites or better put kingdom began during …

Today you have a lot of our people that take the time off to celebrate a day that has nothing to do with the Creator although it is called Thanksgiving. However the days the he commanded to be honored as holy and to give him thanks are dismissed. Preferring the tradition of men rather than the commandment of God. Mark 7:7 “Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” Verse 8: “For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men…”

There is no spiritual or physical gain in the celebrations of the world as when one takes the day off to keep a Sabbath. As you listen to the podcast you will be enlightened of how true the words of Christ are when he said in Luke 21:33 “Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.” Verse 34: “And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.” Verse 35: “For as a snare [trap] shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.” Don’t get caught out there in the traps that have been set against you.
