Ancient Words, Modern Message

There are those who avoid reading and studying the Old Testament due to the misguided opinion that it is boring and irrelevant. The current episode of “Ancient Words, Modern Message” will certainly demonstrate that such a thought could not be farther from the truth. This portion of the Book of Judges recounts what might well be considered one of the most intriguing and dramatic scenes to be found among the narratives of Israel’s many conflicts with their enemies in the nations surrounding them. And yet, the two principal players in this scene are not battling warriors, but a sleeping general and a woman with camping gear! Out of this incident comes yet again a reminder that God delights in using the most ordinary of people and the most humble of instruments to accomplish His plans, so that there can be no doubt as to the source of success. With this in mind, let’s turn to the fourth chapter of the Book of Judges to meet another of the “Stout-Hearted Men and Women” in this fourth study in the series, an episode we call “The Hammer of Justice in the Hand of the Brave."

A highly respected Christian leader and Bible teacher famously said, “Just once I’d like to walk into a church and have it smell more like after-shave than perfume!” His point was that far too often women take the lead when it comes to spiritual matters because the men have shirked their responsibilities. It is this troublesome weakness of male leadership that is very much in evidence in this next study in the Book of Judges, as the repetitive cycle of Israel’s disobedience to God, divine judgment at the hand of their enemies, appeal for help from Heaven, and deliverance under the leadership of a judge is once again on display. A careful consideration of the Biblical record suggests that God’s “man for the hour” to lead Israel to deliverance from a twenty year oppression by the Canaanites was actually Barak, but he sadly shrank from his duty, at which point a Godly woman named Deborah stepped in to bolster his resolve and courage. It might be said that the two main characters in this account could be identified as “a stout-hearted woman and a faint-hearted man.” We will take note of Deborah’s inspiring reminder to Barak as they faced their enemies, “Does not the LORD go out before you?” It was this assurance that Barak needed to “step up to the plate,” and it is the assurance that we need likewise to face challenges in our lives today. So let’s open our bibles to Judges 4:1-15 for the next study in this series, an episode entitled, “Behind Every Good Man. . .” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

The iconic instruction of the classic Hollywood movie director was: “Lights, camera, action!” In some ways these same instructions could apply to a study of the Old Testament book of Judges. “Lights!” A careful study of the text shines a light on what took place in Israel over three thousand years ago. “Camera!” We want to be sure that what we see and learn is something we retain and apply to our own lives here and now. “Action!” There certainly is plenty of dramatic action to be seen in the lives and service of the twelve individuals featured in these accounts. But then there is yet another command barked out by the aforementioned director: “Cut!” That order is given when the scene does not go well and the one in charge wants everything to come to a halt and the scene improved. That instruction, too, could apply to the book of Judges with the same scene repeated over and over again in its troublesome form as a four-step cycle is seen in its pernicious form over a 337-year period of time. In watching the action unfold, we feel like shouting, “Cut!” And so we begin a consideration of the script acted out by the first three of twelve judges featured in the Book of Judges in this series of studies entitled, “Stout-hearted Men and Women” in this episode entitled, “Fit for the Master’s Use.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

The plot of Groundhog Day, the 1993 comedy film starring Bill Murray, revolves around a television weather broadcaster who reports from Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania on February 2, covering the annual appearance of that town’s famous groundhog and its impact upon winter weather patterns. In a bizarre set of circumstances, he finds that every day is a repeat of the day before it, February 2, “Groundhog Day,” until he breaks the chain with a change of character and attitude. In some ways, Ancient Israel had its own “Groundhog Day” that lasted for 337 years, with a cycle of events that was repeated over and over throughout that long period of time. In today’s episode of “Ancient Words, Modern Message” we begin a study of the Book of Judges and learn about this distressing cycle and its disturbing consequences, interrupted periodically by the appearance of a courageous, bold leader, only to resume when the leader is gone. With this in mind, let’s turn to the fascinating, and all-too-relevant book of Judges for the first of six installments in a series entitled, “Stout-hearted Men and Women,” an episode we call “Stuck in History.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

Regular listeners to this podcast know that every seventh episode is different from the other six. Each of the six includes a Bible study, usually of an Old Testament book. The seventh is a break in style and content as I, Roger Wambold, Director of Hebrew Christian Fellowship, sit in front of a microphone in my home, with a cup of coffee and ideally a bagel with a “shmear” of Philadelphia cream-cheese, for an informal “Bagel-side Chat.” In these I like to discuss a variety of subjects related to the Jewish people—Their history, culture, religious thinking and practice, and current events in Israel and worldwide affecting them. In this thirteenth “Bagel-side Chat” I touch on the fascinating subject of “keeping kosher,” with some of its nuances and peculiarities, but also with some spiritual principles growing out of the subject. For some listeners this may be a review of what they already know, but for others it might be an introduction to a subject little understood outside of Jewish communities. In which of the two groups you may be, or somewhere in between, we are glad that you have joined us for this “Bagel-side Chat,” an episode entitled “Nosh-knowledge.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

It is painfully obvious in so many ways that there presently is division, polarization, and hostility rampant within the American population to a level not seen for many years. While such a condition is regularly the subject of commentary in news media, with some even offering ideas and suggestions of a solution, the problem seems to be getting only worse. In the midst of this sad and alarming climate there comes the invitation to look into God’s Word, the Bible, for a real remedy. And that’s exactly what we do in this episode of “Ancient Words, Modern Message,” the sixth and final installment in the series, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men: The Overlooked Half of the Apostles.” Among the six lesser known members of the apostolic group are two men who were natural and virulent enemies of each other. . .until they were brought together by the call of Jesus to follow and to serve Him. Rarely do we see such a vivid reminder of the transforming power of the Gospel of Jesus to not only reconcile men to God, but also to reconcile them to one another. So let’s zero in on a man seething with hatred and hostility, especially toward one other man in this small group, and how they became, as the title of this episode indicates, “Beloved Enemies.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

At the end of 2025 the population of the world was estimated at 8.3 billion. With that many human beings inhabiting our planet at one time, it is understandable that many would feel terribly insignificant. And yet, the Scriptures make it clear that in God’s sight, no one is insignificant. In fact, the best known verse in the Bible makes this point when it says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16) The apostle John reminds us that God loves the world and everyone, every single one, in it, so much that He sent Jesus to provide the path of salvation. In this episode of the series, “Six Really Ordinary Men: The Overlooked Half of the Apostles,” we focus on two of the twelve who might certainly have considered themselves to be insignificant. In fact, the first of the two even had a nick-name based on his inferior status, and the other had a nick-name equally unflattering. The first has not one of his spoken words recorded in scripture and the second has just one question of less than twenty words recorded. And yet, the names of these two will be engraved into the foundation stones of the wall surrounding the city of the New Jerusalem which will stand forever, according to Revelation 21:14. And so it is that we can be assured that in God’s sight there are really no “little” people, and that’s the title of this episode, “No Little People. . .Really!” With that, let’s begin.

“Oh, he’s a ‘Doubting Thomas” or “Don’t be a ‘Doubting Thomas”—We’ve all heard the expression and maybe even used it ourselves. Of the twelve men chosen by Jesus to be with Him and to be sent out by Him, one has seemingly distinguished himself by his negative attitude, not exactly what he might prefer. However, in the description of this REALLY ordinary man, we find a heavy measure of encouragement for all of us who are followers of Jesus. In this fourth in the series, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men: The Overlooked Half of the Apostles,” we zero in on one known as “The Twin,” whose story reminds us that regardless of personality, including the negatives, God can use anyone who will say to Jesus, as did he, “My Lord and my God!” With the gospel record open before us, we delve into this study of the ups and downs of this interesting man in an episode entitled, “From Doubts to Certainty.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

Nearly everyone has had the experience of meeting someone who appears to be warm, engaging, and deeply interested in others, but later learning that the initial impression was based on a veneer, under which was a very different person, one who is really much more interested in his or her own advancement than in anyone or anything else. Such an experience can lead to a sort of skepticism regarding others we might meet along the way, causing us to wonder, “Is there anyone who is really genuine and authentic—the real deal?” In this third episode of the series, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men,” we learn of one of the twelve individuals Jesus called to follow Him, to be with Him, and to be sent out by Him, who actually was “the real deal.” From the time Jesus first met him He recognized: “This is a plain-talker, not a phony, and what you see is what you get!” So, let’s turn to a careful study of one about whom there is very little known, but one who displays this rarest of qualities: authenticity and sincerity, a man in whom there is no deceit. We call this episode, “REALLY Ordinary, but Really Real!” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message. You can expect episodes twice a month on Monday.

It’s not often in this series of podcasts that the listener will hear the speaker singing a song! However, this episode begins with that unusual feature as I lead the “Shmooze, News, and Views” group in singing a little “ditty” from years gone by, designed as an aid in remembering the names of the twelve apostles. The first of the six “overlooked Half of the apostles” to be considered is Philip, about whom not a great deal is known. In fact, all of the information we have about him is found in only one of the four gospels, the gospel of John. However, tucked into the compact package of information about Philip is a powerful lesson for each one of us as we wonder, “Do I have what it takes to be used by God?” The answer to that question is the “takeaway” from this second study in the series, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men: The Overlooked Half of the Apostles.” Feel free to join in the singing as we begin this episode entitled, “The Boy from Bethsaida.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

The nineteenth century New England poet Emily Dickinson began her brief poem with this quip: “I’m nobody; who are you?” So many of us can identify with Miss Dickinson’s self-recognition, noting that there are seemingly disadvantages being “a somebody,” of whom there are far fewer than “the nobodies,” though sometimes we might like to try it for ourselves! The Gospels introduce us to twelve men who could certainly be considered “nobodies,” but who were used in extraordinary ways after meeting Jesus and being called and prepared by Him. In this next series of six studies we will consider six of the twelve apostles, the ones to whom there has been given little attention, but who must be included in the group of “nobodies” mightily used as Jesus’ human instruments to “build His Church.” And in this there is great encouragement for all of us “nobodies” as we move into a series entitled, “Six REALLY Ordinary Men: The Overlooked Half of the Apostles,” with this first study we call “Getting To Know the Nobodies.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

At a time when so many nations and individuals are turning away from Israel and vilifying the Jewish state and the Jewish people, it is both remarkable and refreshing to hear from those who continue to have “a heart for Israel.” Such a one is Paul Valerio, an American Gentile who, along with his young wife Traci, decided to visit Israel for three weeks and ended up living and working there for eighteen years! I recently had the privilege of sitting down with Paul during a few days with us in Pennsylvania as a stop between his home in Georgia and a visit with family (and running in a half-marathon) in Connecticut where he grew up. With each of us enjoying a cup of coffee and a bagel with a “shmear” of cream cheese, I asked Paul to share how he and Traci surprisingly ended up in Israel and to describe the development of his deep interest in, and love for, Israel and the Jewish people which continues to this day. I also asked him to share from his heart his concern and hope for both the Jewish State and its citizens. I believe you will be blessed and challenged as you listen in on this conversation which is this next Bagel-side Chat in an episode with the intriguing title, “Three Weeks, Two Back-Packs, Plus Eighteen Years.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

Over these past months at various times you have been invited to join me, Roger Wambold, Director of Hebrew Christian Fellowship, for an informal conversation about matters related to Israel, the Jewish people, and how they fit into God’s plan and purpose for the world as revealed in His Word, the Bible. Loosely modeled after President Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s (FDR’s) “Fireside Chats” in his radio addresses to the American people from 1933 to 1944 during the Great Depression and World War II, these talks have a “Jewish flavor” (read that “Bagel-side”) to them. In this eleventh “Bagel-side Chat” I focus on the example of the Ten Boom Family in the Netherlands during the terrible time of the Holocaust and its connection to what lies ahead for the Jewish people as foretold by the Old Testament prophets and Jesus Himself in the Olivet Discourse. In this present time when so many nations and individuals have turned against the State of Israel and the Jewish people, it is especially important to ponder how Jesus would have us respond in practical ways to the circumstances and needs of “His brethren.” So, settle in with a beverage and a bagel with a “shmear” for this eleventh “Bagel-side Chat” entitled, “Corrie’s Tree and Me.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

Of the five supernatural revelations recorded in the Old Testament Book of Daniel, the prophet’s vision described in chapter 8 is certainly one of the most astounding, astounding in its specificity in predicting future events, covering a span of over five hundred years and beyond. Two vitally important truths emerge from an understanding of Daniel’s vision: Every earthly kingdom, no matter how seemingly indestructible, will fall as surely as it arose. . .with one notable exception. If all of Daniel’s predictions were correct, with the exception of the one yet unfulfilled, surely that one will be fulfilled, as well, though sometime in the indefinite future. With these truths in mind, we turn to Daniel 8 in this last in a six-part series entitled, “When Worlds Collide: Studies in the Book of Daniel,” an episode we call “Precision Prophecy.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

There is a “slogan” of sorts heard often in years gone by: “I don’t know what the future holds, but I know who holds the future.” While the gist of this statement is correct, the first part of it should have an asterisk attached, directed toward the qualification that God has given us in His Word through the prophetic scriptures a glimpse of some of the general movements of the future. Such is the case with a dream Daniel had in the middle of the sixth century B.C., a dream with content similar to the Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar’s dream some fifty years earlier. Both dreams outline the flow of world history through four great empires—all of which eventually crumble—and its culmination in a fifth empire, which will last forever. So we can know something of what the future holds through careful Bible study, challenging as it may sometimes be. However, what is most encouraging of all is that we indeed know Who holds the future. With that in mind, let’s roll up our sleeves and dive into Daniel chapter 7 for this fifth episode of a six-part series, “When Worlds Collide: Studies in the Book of Daniel,” an episode entitled, “A Frightful Dream with Forever Details.” which are not just stories, but accounts of actual events, there is an overarching theme of the book of which these various accounts are a demonstration. That theme is summarized in verse twenty-one of chapter two: And he [God] changeth the times and the seasons; he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to those who know understanding. “The wise” are those who look around them at current events in the world and ask the question, “Who’s in charge here?” And “the wise” are those who realize the correct answer to that question: “GOD is in charge here!” Especially in this present time the words of the hymn, “This Is My Father’s World,” are particularly relevant, comforting, and encouraging: “This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

While the Old Testament book of Daniel contains numerous fascinating stories which are not just stories, but accounts of actual events, there is an overarching theme of the book of which these various accounts are a demonstration. That theme is summarized in verse twenty-one of chapter two: And he [God] changeth the times and the seasons; he removeth kings, and setteth up kings; he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to those who know understanding. “The wise” are those who look around them at current events in the world and ask the question, “Who’s in charge here?” And “the wise” are those who realize the correct answer to that question: “GOD is in charge here!” Especially in this present time the words of the hymn, “This Is My Father’s World,” are particularly relevant, comforting, and encouraging: “This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.

The Old Testament is “chocked full” of great stories of fascinating characters and dramatic events. However, it is important to recognize that the Bible is not just another story-book, but that, in fact, the “stories” it contains are not fictional stories, but they are the record of things that really happened. Time and time again the veracity and authenticity of the record have been supported by archaeological discoveries over the centuries. One of the most exciting and intriguing “stories” in the Old Testament is found in the fourth chapter of the Book of Daniel which is the first-hand account by Babylon’s greatest king, Nebuchadnezzar, of an astounding event in his life and reign. The story is that of how one who could correctly be called a pride-filled narcissist was brought low in order that he might become a humble worshipper of the One True God. And so, in the third episode of this series, “When Worlds Collide: Studies in the Book of Daniel,” we consider this fascinating and ultra-dramatic story, an episode entitled, “How the Mighty Has Fallen!” Thank you for listening to Ancient Words, Modern Message.
