Unlocking the Hebraic Idioms of the Bible: Episode 3

In this in-depth Bible teaching, we explore two critical Hebraisms that unlock major New Testament passages: the Key of the House of David (Isaiah 22) and “All shall be taught by God” (Isaiah 54). First, we examine the Old Testament background of the Key of David and how it reveals delegated royal authority under the king. This foundation allows us to correctly understand Jesus’ words to the Church of Philadelphia in Revelation 3 and His absolute authority to open and shut doors of access, ministry, and the Kingdom itself. Next, we tackle Isaiah 54:13 and its direct quotation by Jesus in John 6. By understanding Jewish interpretive methods (PaRDeS), we expose how this passage is often misused to support Calvinistic theology. When read in its proper Jewish and prophetic context, Jesus is not teaching mystical election, but showing that God draws people through Scripture itself. Those who hear and learn from the Father through the Word come to Christ by faith. This study dismantles common misunderstandings about divine drawing, salvation, and election, and reaffirms the biblical truth of salvation by faith alone in Christ alone. SCRIPTURE REFERENCES: Isaiah 22 Isaiah 53–54 John 6 Revelation 3 Matthew 16 Acts 2 Psalm 2 1 Corinthians 15

In this teaching, Pastor Brandon walks through powerful Hebraic idioms found in Ecclesiastes and the Song of Solomon. From “there is nothing new under the sun” to “catch the little foxes that spoil the vines,” this message uncovers timeless truths about human nature, spiritual warfare, and relationships. Learn how Solomon’s wisdom reveals the futility of life “under the sun” apart from God, why sin and deception are simply recycled patterns, and how only divine revelation breaks those cycles. Then, journey into the Song of Solomon to explore how small, unchecked compromises—the “little foxes”—can destroy intimacy in marriages, families, and faith. This message offers biblical insight into: • Recognizing the repetitive nature of sin and Satan’s tactics • Breaking generational and personal cycles through God’s revelation • Understanding the risk of faith and stepping into God’s calling • Identifying and removing the “foxes” that damage relationships • Applying healthy communication, boundaries, and spiritual maturity Whether in marriage, family, or personal growth, this study reveals how the Lord calls us to rise above the monotony of “under the sun” and live in the light of His truth. **Scripture References:** Ecclesiastes 1:9 • Ecclesiastes 11:1 • Song of Solomon 2:15 • 1 Corinthians 5:11 • Psalm 139:23–24 #BibleStudy #Hebraisms #Ecclesiastes #SongOfSolomon #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianTeaching #Relationships #Faith #Marriage #Discipleship #RockHarborChurch

Welcome to Rock Harbor Church on Sermon Audio. In this powerful teaching, Pastor Brandon Holthaus exposes the dangerous rise of unrestrained behavior—both in the world and inside the modern Church. From the orgiastic rebellion at the Golden Calf to today's woke culture and apostate pulpits, this message traces the biblical pattern of casting off restraint and highlights the cost of refusing to confront sin. Drawing from Exodus 32, Psalm 2, Romans 1, and 2 Thessalonians 2, Pastor Brandon unpacks the spiritual, societal, and prophetic implications of moral chaos and the Church’s God-given role as a restrainer in the last days. This isn’t just about culture—it’s about leadership, courage, and the call for believers to stand as salt and light in a decaying world. Are we delaying the decay… or contributing to it? Grab your Bibles, take notes, and prepare to be challenged. 🕊️ “Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom’s instruction.” — Proverbs 29:18 For more teachings or to support our ministry, visit rockharborchurch.net.
