Michael Rood Ministries | Ministry Update > Iceland

The Light at the Northern End of the Tunnel and Iceland in the Raw.

Europe is the door at which we had been kicking for years, but the red carpet was rolled out at the back entrance. This was not the hand of man who opened these doors. I had the opportunity to tell the story in front of the cameras of an Icelandic network just before returning to America. You can watch the entire divine reality television unfold on my Two-DVD update from Iceland. It was on this final stop of my seven month multinational tour that I saw the hand of the Almighty revealed. It is now obvious that Heaven has been working overtime since we handed over the reigns of our marketing department to the Almighty.

I have included the list of new broadcasters for our winter and spring TV line up in the U.S.A. and Canada. Many of the stations have put us on at reduced rates. This is allowing us to reach into the homes of millions around the U.S. We are diligently editing the programs with our new contact information so that callers can reach the REAL Michael Rood. With the increasing number of stations which have opened to us, we are purchasing three times as many broadcast duplication tapes each week, we have upgraded the equipment to handle the increased load, and the cost of shipping our programs around the globe has multiplied. We are walking through every door that miraculously opens before us as if money is no object or the lack thereof - no obstruction. It is the will of the Almighty to spread the gospel of the Kingdom to the nations - we all just volunteered to help Him out in the ministry that Yahshua started. You are helping to make this dream a reality by your generosity and sacrificial giving. Thank you.

Did you enjoy my free Internet teaching, "Hockin' a Chanick on Chanukah - or Chanukah is NOT the Jewish Christmas"??? The information in this teaching is timeless, and the keys it holds to unlocking an accurate understanding of prophetic scriptures are invaluable. Don't think that you need to wait until next Chanukah to feast on this feast. You can still invite your friends to enjoy this meaty prophetic teaching free of charge, and we heartily invite you to download the CD quality version for your computer, Ipod or MP3 player to enjoy as you train for your next triathlon - or drift off to sleep after a hard day's work.

When you purchase the high-quality MP3 download, you enable us to put even more teachings up on the Internet free-of-charge to the entire planet - and that is my goal. But, every time someone "clicks" to hear a teaching - someone on the other end is paying to get the gospel of the Kingdom out to the world. Please join us in our endeavor to use this international high-tech venue to take people down the ancient paths. If you cannot afford the download to help support our ministry, or you are already a regular contributor, please enjoy the teaching free of charge online. Call the office and let us know how we can best reach out to you and the rest of the world through this media. We need your input to do our best for you - and yours.

I need your continued support to help take the message that changed your life out to others, like you, who are hungering for truth in the barren wasteland of religious tradition. Every day we go over your letters and prayer requests in the office. Each day our hearts are wrenched by your letters of testimony. Each day we are humbled as we accept the sacrifices to YHVH that you entrust to our stewardship. Thanks for standing with me. I really do appreciate your love and encouragement - we all do.

I realize that sending out two DVD's to tell the Iceland miracle story is quite a bit more extravagant than my customary one CD update, but I think that it is worth the expense to let you hear the entire divine adventure. This ministry runs on miracles. Without the repeated intervention of the Almighty in my life, I would not be able to minister to you in the way I do, or to reach the millions that need to hear the true Gospel of the Kingdom. I do not hear from Heaven on a daily basis - but when I do hear, it is a life changing experience that impacts not only me, but multiplied thousands of others as well. This two set DVD package details the revealed plan of the Almighty which unfolded over several years: from my first call to prophesy over all Iceland after landing in Reykjavik the morning of September 11, 2001, to my most recent trip which allowed me to prophesy to all of Europe concerning the warning shot that was fired across the bow of America's ship of State.

I have attached a list of the newest stations which have been added to the A Rood Awakening! Ministries International TV broadcast schedule so that you can see the reality of our recent growth, and so that you can do something practical to help keep us on the air in these new areas. Please call or email the station in your area and thank them for carrying us. You may click on the highlighted TV station and watch the program on the live web cast.

Call your friends and families and ask them to tune us in. And please, call Sky Angel and encourage them to continue to broadcast the Real Michael Rood. They need to hear from everyone who appreciates our ministry - they are already hearing from the people who are busy trying to destroy us in an attempt to validate their attempted takeover. We have received reports from our broadcast partners that Mr. Louis, armed with the fabricated report of his self-appointed "panel", is aggressively contacting them in an attempt to have us removed from their stations. If you are standing with me, please call or write these stations to register your support - and tune in with your friends and family to a smorgasbord of spiritual treats for young and old alike. If my ministry has had a positive impact on your life and spiritual walk, please call 1-800-Sky-Angel (1-800-759-2643) or go to the Sky Angel website and e-mail them and the station in your area we are on, with your testimony.

I don't need you to stand up for me; I am well acquainted with unjust criticism and persecution. I need you to stand up for those who have not yet had an opportunity to hear the Word of Truth, as I have had to stand up. I have filed a federal lawsuit to prohibit Mr. Louis from further defrauding the public through his illegal impersonation of me, and to prohibit his friends from continuing to feign themselves as a legally defined arbitration board. Any further interference with our broadcasters will be in defiance of a forthcoming federal injunction.
Thank you for your continued support. Call or go on line, www.MichaelRoodMinistries.com, today for the two DVD set.

Pomegranate Mysteries

Hair uncombed and teeth unbrushed, I groggily added the grounds to my stove top espresso pot to begin the morning after a long Shabbat of teaching and fellowship in our home in the Galilee. Rachel and Darlene had been stirring for a while, and Rachel had unexpectedly taken over the project that I had begun the night before - counting the seeds of a giant pomegranate.

Watching over her shoulder for a few moments to ensure the accuracy of the count was maintained, I noticed a little Sony pocket camera on the counter in front of her and a thought struck me. "Darlene! I need your help. Come down to the kitchen," I bellered up the stairs.

I set the pocket camera on "movie" and I directed the newly appointed camera person to focus in on the split pomegranate, and then to back up to frame the shot of Rachel into which I would enter from the side. As the smell of fresh espresso filled the room, I was awakened to the fact that an Internet program need not be a carefully scripted 28 minute 30 second production in order to be a viable teaching platform. What resulted from that impromptu low-resolution video session is, "Pomegranate Mysteries".

With the fun stylings of "video magician", Chris Hanna, I am presenting the first half of this light-weight video on the Internet for your enjoyment. As you watch it please remember that this is not a million dollar an episode Hollywood reality series that is rehearsed and planned to the nth detail, but rather the result of less than 30 seconds of planning and no rehearsal.

If you enjoy the first half of the video please let me know. We will be happy to air the other half of the video on the Internet for your entertainment and spiritual enrichment.

Watch the video now.

A Note From The Ministry Team

We the Staff wanted to write you and express our thoughts about this ministry. This letter is not from Michael; at the time of this writing he and Judith are in Israel.

There comes a time in every ministry when it seems like that ministry has been tested to its limits. All of us at Michael Rood Ministries feel that we have faced these testings and trials for the past five months. Michael Rood doesn't complain; he just keeps working and moving ahead. We know, after working for Michael these past months, that he will not tell you of this burden.

No one on the present staff was a part of the old ministry, but we see every day what God is doing for people through this ministry. We answer the phones and read the mail from brand new people coming into this Messianic walk, expressing how much this ministry has opened their eyes.

When you, who are long time Michael Rood supporters, also express to us what this ministry means to you, we all appreciate it, especially Michael. In fact, one of our great joys is carrying back mail to Michael and watching him pour over it.

Though we are all new to this ministry, it has become family. It is hard to see your family attacked again and again. It hurts us to see the pain on Michael's and Judith's faces when some send harsh letters about the past or criticize them for doing what the law requires them to do.

We are not here to judge those who worked for Michael before, but we just don't understand the venom that has come from them toward this work. In December we could really tell that people had read the panel's report and must have believed it. What puzzles us is how any right thinking, fair-minded person could believe that the report was unbiased? We know the truth. We work here every day, six days a week. We know the truth, not the twisted half-truths people say - but the truth. We know where the money comes from and how it is spent.

Every time a company calls about a debt incurred by the previous group, Michael tells them he will arrange to pay it. Someone who really doesn't understand would say, "Well, he was part of that." Yes, he was. We here know that.

We also know that the previous group has collected and continues collecting funds and creating debt even today. However, they neither pay these debts nor send out the items people have requested and paid for. When the people end up calling us, we are instructed by Michael to send them whatever they ordered from the other group. There are still web sites up that are selling Michael's material without his permission. Since this is the only office reproducing that material, ask yourself how are they getting it.

We have seen Michael give away material every week so don't think this is about greed or that Michael wants everything purchased through this office and not copied. That's not it. We have a very tight budget and he has to determine how much can be given away to those who have ordered from others but not received their product. Michael also instructs us to give product to people going through financial difficulties.

When you work this close to the leadership of a ministry, you learn that they are human just as we are. They have trials and the flesh, even as we. The difference is we also see Yahweh's hand moving in their lives. We can feel the Spirit of Him who made each of us moving in this work. The spiritual enemy just doesn't want our message produced and shared with the world. We can feel the spiritual attack every day. We know "we wrestle not with flesh and blood but with principalities and powers..."

Many have written about the quality of the product Michael produces. He wants God's people to have the best he can do and he demands that of us as well. We don't know if you are aware that Michael had to re-edit every teaching, both for the DVD series and for the TV series. This is not cheap. He is in the process of doing this right now and it takes a lot of money up front.

We had to purchase all new computers for the office, ten of them, as well as phones, copiers, DVD duplicators and new equipment for IMS to be able to re-edit the teachings. Michael's personal credit cards are maxed out. The Roods paid for the production of the three new teachings out of their own pocket. Most people just don't know the cost of producing an hour of teaching that is TV quality and also the quality Michael feels The Almighty's teachings deserve.

Can we be honest with you? Eight staff members, offices, long distance phone, maintenance of the web page, and outreach to Central and South America are about $48,000 per month. New equipment costs and re-editing of teachings runs around $121,000. Defending this ministry and keeping it in compliance with all state and federal laws comes to $43,000. This does not include special expenditures for producing Michael's new teachings and Glen McWilliams' Torah teaching and distributing them to you.

Even with the staff working for less than what they would be paid at secular jobs and the office expenses held to a minimum, it still takes a lot of money to meet the demands and needs of people looking to this ministry. Even when the TV time is free, there is the cost of producing episodes, duplicating them and shipping them out. Shipping alone is over $1,000 per week.

It was like a tornado or a Tsunami that hit this ministry last year wiping out the equipment and the old product. There wasn't any insurance or government program we could look to for help to overcome this type of disaster. Yah works through His people. It is the only way it is done.

This ministry needs a special shot in the arm at this time. It needs your help. Michael is doing all he can to produce new work and teaching for you who have been so faithful. He and Glen work until one would think they are going to drop from exhaustion to get out fresh weekly material. We hear them talk of the need to hear from The Almighty in order to furnish you with fresh manna.

Michael wants to start work on the Brit Chadashah in chronological order. Also, Michael and Judith have it on their hearts to be a working example of the Torah by helping the widows, the orphans, the poor and the Messianic community in Israel. Judith has agreed to take the lead in this project that has created so much excitement among supporters since it was announced. In fact, one man who helps with mailings, while doing the first "Lydia" World Outreach Project mailing, said, "I am truly moved by the Lydia Project and wish I was rich so I could fund this new work."

Michael is trying to build the studio to produce the new series. The husband of one of the ladies working here and some other men are donating their time to get the set built. The lumber company gave us a huge break in the cost of material but there was still a cost. One employee was a supervisor at her company making over $50,000 per year. She quit her position and came to work for the ministry at less than half that. Another works for a major Michigan corporation. She gets up at 3 or 4 am so she can get her work done and then come in to help the ministry.

There are sacrifices being made every day. As we said earlier, Michael isn't writing this letter, we the staff are. We are asking you to pray about what you can do to help this ministry at this time. One lady went far and beyond the usual in January at the very time when we wondered - Will we make it? - Can Michael keep up this pace? - Where will the needed extra funds come from? Yet the funds came in.

Research shows that the two most stressful things a person can go through are divorce and financial difficulties/loss of one's business (ministry). Well, we want to share with you that we can see the stress on Michael and Judith. Many mornings we come to work to find that Michael didn't go back to the apartment but worked through the night to the point of exhaustion and fell asleep on the couch in the office. Any medical professional would tell you that Michael needs to take a long rest. He does, but he won't because he knows you depend on him and on Glen to bring you a fresh word, to get the calendar out, and to complete other projects. That is no small job.

We need your support. In August and September you opened your wallets and your purses. You searched your hearts and you helped. We haven't heard from some of you for a while but we know you are praying for this ministry. Now we the staff, not Michael, are asking you to give a special gift to this ministry during the time of Passover, a freewill offering, n'dabah, (ned-aw-baw').

When Peter said to Yahshua, "Lord, we gave up everything for you..." The Messiah told Peter...well, you know what He told him.

We are told that in the past, when the Ministry had special needs, Michael went on a road tour and wore himself out to meet the need. We know you will not be a part of seeing this man of Yahweh come to a place of complete exhaustion and possible harm. Even Moses had those who came along side and held up his arms!

It is time for all of us to go the extra mile, to give a n'dabah - a freewill offering to bless the Levite and the ministry. We promise you that we, your staff, will go the extra mile here. We will work to get you Michael's and Glen's teachings, to take your calls, to write you, to do what is necessary to be a blessing to you. We are the ones who open the mail, read the e-mails and answer the phones. We know how many have already given, but if we are to get over this hump and keep up with all the demands, this ministry needs more sacrificial giving.

We are praying Yahweh will bless you in such a supernatural way for your faithfulness and generosity. We pray that many will be able to give as the Hebrews gave to build the House of Yahweh after they left Egypt. May your giving be to the point that we too can say, "No more. It is enough!"

As we said before, Michael will not share this burden with you. He trusts you like he trusts his best friend. He has told us over and over, "This is The Almighty's work and His people." We the Staff are sharing this with you and praying together for you. Thank you for all your past support.

We are looking forward to meeting everyone in June at the Shavuot conference!

Shalom,
Your staff

Shalom Torah fans!

Judith and I boarded the puddle jumper at the Grand Rapids airport for the first leg of our journey to Israel to prepare for our tour group that would be arriving one week later. I cannot tell you how encouraging it is it hear the words, "Shalom Torah Fans!" as we passed through security at a major US airport. To know that even the airport security guards, who are frisking 80 year old great-grandmothers in their tireless search for Osama Bin Laden, are watching our television programs - is truly encouraging.

Since planting myself in the office chair in November, after a seven month "inter-planetary" tour, I have read literally thousands of letters from those whose lives have been changed by our teaching ministry on television and via DVD passed from one friend to another. Scores of pastors write thanking us for our making the gospel records comprehendible through the Jonah Code seminar. They are leading their flocks onto the paths of righteousness with their eyes wide open to the gospel of the Kingdom for the first time in their lives.

Because of your faithful support, we are pressing ahead with great intensity as we expand our broadcast partners in the US and around the world. We are all on the same team - we just have different temporary jobs in the kingdom. Thank you for making it possible to add new staff members to our team in Israel and the US so that I can someday return to the ministry of the word and revelation. We still need more professional staff positions filled and the ongoing support for this much needed help. Thank you for your continued prayers in support of our worldwide ministry endeavor.

As we left Michigan, we had a crew of carpenters erecting the walls to our new set that will be the background to our new weekly Torah teaching platform. Each week we will post a new Torah study guide and an in-depth commentary written by our resident Torah scholar and Spirit filled teacher, Glenn McWilliams. Every Shabbat our website will feature the full length video teaching that will be produced on our new set. We are moving ahead full speed on building the set while electricians are wiring for the lighting controls. We are praying for another qualified video technician to help with the cameras and sound staging so that we can be ready to roll as soon as the New Year arrives. We need exactly $17,800 in dedicated funds to be provided to complete the work that has begun on this set. We need to be ready to record Glenn's first teaching that will be broadcast to the world via the Internet on the first Sabbath after the barley is aviv. Call me today if you can be the financial provision for this timely ministry endeavor.

As you have been reading in our weekly internet updates, we were preparing for a March 8th Rosh Hashanah if the barley was aviv. Since it wasn't, we are ready for the Head of the Year to begin in April. We have the new astronomically and agriculturally corrected BIBLICAL HEBREW CALENDAR that has gone to press along with the restored ancient triennial Torah portions listed for each Sabbath. This is the most beautiful calendar we have every produced. You will be proud to show it to your friends. It will make an excellent gift to introduce someone to this walk. Call my office and order yours as soon as possible at 1-616-583-0200.

We invite you to join us for this systematic, in-depth, video recorded study of the Torah in its original bite-sized portions that were in vogue during the time of Yeshuah.

To my sadness, I will not be able to host the grand Passover that I had articulated in last month's newsletter due to a very heavy workload, insufficient staff, and financial constraints that preclude such an investment of time, personnel and resources. However, we are planning a National Shavuot celebration June 13-15. We will do it in a major venue in Denver to facilitate air transportation access.

This will be a real Messianic hoot that will promote the meeting and fellowship of likeminded saints from across the USA and even the world. Paul Wilbur and Jimmie Black are going to provide the praise and worship time for the weekend.

The Almighty will always show up at His appointed times and if we are there, we won't be able to miss Him. For the first time in over 10 years, I will be taking the audience on a chronological journey through the Book of Revelation during the weekend. Television audiences will be able to enjoy this teaching next year - but those who attend Shavuot 6008 (Pentecost 2008) will be there to see and hear it in person.

We are going to throw a party as if the Messiah himself is attending. I am trusting in The Almighty that this event doesn't make us go broke; but I know that I need to be obedient to the call and the position He has put me in. I am hoping some of you can become Sponsors of the Shavuot 6008 (Pentecost 2008) Extravaganza to ensure that the electricity stays on here in Michigan.

Next year, we hope to have the grand Passover celebration that I had been dreaming about, but this year we will start the Messianic Festivities in the US with the Feast of Shavuot. Also, consider a grand Feast of Tabernacles (on the Biblically correct dates), a weekend bash for the Feast of Dedication (Chanukah) where we will dig deep into End Time prophesy events as foretold by Yeshua and Daniel relating to the Feast of Chanukah.

Each Feast is such a joy to celebrate - the Almighty always shows up at His appointed times, even though most of us have missed Him at His events most of our lives because we didn't show up.

When Judith and I arrived in Israel, we dropped the suitcases that we have been living out of for the past 10 months and hurried down the street for the Shabbat fellowship that launched the last day of Purim. After dinner, we retired to the packed living room where we took turns reading the "Megilah" of Esther to the epithetic cat calls at the name of Haman, the cheers at the name of Mordecai, and the wolf whistles at the mention of the lovely niece, Hadassah, renamed Easter/Esther after the revered Babylonian fertility goddess. It was soooo good being back home among Messianic Jews who are keeping the feast of Purim in the 12th month (as prescribed by edict of Mordecai and Esther) instead of in the 13th month as was recently changed by the Rabbis. To be in the unity of the Spirit and in the bonds of Shalom in the land of Israel was certainly a home-coming to be savored.

Yeshua lived to set us free from the rules, regulations, and traditions of man-made religious systems. He died at the hands of those who loved their own religious kingdom more than they loved the kingdom of God. He arose from the dead in a display of the ultimate authority over men, Satan (who held the power of death) and the dream world of false religion that entangles us in its endless nightmare. We have been set free to walk in obedience to the Torah that Moses gave us and that Yeshua taught us by both word and example. We have been set free from adherence to the system so that we can live by the Spirit and do the exploits of which Daniel prophesied. (Daniel 11:32) The planet is filled with extras on the set which give background and a colorful setting for the real stars of this play we call life. The Almighty does not need any more extras on the set. He is looking for the stars - those who will "shine as the brightness of the firmament, and as the stars forever and ever." (Daniel 12:3)

I will see you when the final curtain falls!
Shalom from Israel,
Michael Rood.

P.S. Our tours in Israel are always filled with unique spiritual surprises for which we can never plan nor prepare. I invite you to join us for one of these adventures that developed during our recent A Rood Awakening spring tour of Israel. With this month's CD "Message From the Mountain" I can bring you a little bit of that tour.

P.S.S I will see you at Shavuot 6008 (Pentecost 2008). Please Click to register for Shavuot 6008.

Shalom Truth Seekers in the WORD

At this most incredible time in HIStory...this humble servant, if I should be so honored to be called, would like to answer a certain call from the Rood Awakening Ministry International.

This servant would like to share some very basic steps in the hope of revealing how another person, if "Led" by the Ruach Hakodesh in and by the Name of Yahshua HaMashiac, can represent Michael Rood International Ministry in his or her's "Public Access TV and/or Internet Public Access Broadcast Area".

The way in which video programming is being offered to the world is evolving everyday, with the day of 3 or 4 channels on a TV long, long gone. One might even be seeing a major reduction on Cable TV as it becomes less of the public's desired video medium. What is driving this?

What is on the rise is internet programming with some of those sites having a dual cable tv representation. There are numerous websites offering constant 24/7 programming with "Public Access TV/Internet Stations" in major cities. There are more of these sites popping up regularly to offer YOU, the viewer, the medium to have a "Voice" in the world.

For almost 2 years now Michael Rood's "A Rood Awakening!" 28:30 minute DV Tapes have been "Aired" by MNN, Manhattan Neighborhood Network, on Saturday evening at 5:30 PM EST. Literally thousands upon thousands of people view these 4 channels provided via ones computer and/or the Time Warner cable tv medium in that area. This humble servant was able to get this aired by simply filling out an "application" and providing some "Proof of Residency".

What a wonderful way to close Shabbat, I might add, by seeing Micheal's Programming after an evening and day of Rest with the LORD. Many of you already know the meaning of the statement, "The Truth Shall Set You Free" and have experienced the incredible "Lift" and "Clarity" after watching any one of the many topics Michael "Enters Into" by uncovering hidden Truths in the WORD. Seeing through "Man's Traditions" and clinging to the WORD is the essence of Michael's Message needing to be heard in preparation for Yahshua's Return and the coming "Restoration Of All Things". In the meantime, for those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, let's get off our knees and "Enter In" as well by being Holy Spirit led messengers of Truth In the Word.

What I found was that by a little searching via Internet or your local community information services you will find a "Public Access Station" in your own area on cable TV, Internet or both across the nation and the world for that matter.

We all know of the local PBS TV stations and certainly one can approach these stations. However, they are not as public as one might think and are certainly not free. What is now available more and more and an example of freedom of Public Speech and Access is the rising Internet TV Video Stations popping up in many communities around the country. "You Tube" and "Live 365" are available for individual broadcasting globally and this is the focus I am visiting. If you cannot find a Public Access Internet Station locally in your community yet, try calling your local Cable Operator and asking if they have any information on airing already professionally produced 28:30 min DV tapes of Michael's Biblical Archaeological Truth Seeking type programming.

My experience is that about every 6 months you will need "Touch Base" with your local Cable or Internet Public Access Program Manager to ensure your relationship is in order and that they are provided with the necessary DV Tapes with labels to proceed with the next seasons airing. I have witnessed that these stations very much welcome this programming and the audience it attracts. "Ratings" are not so much an issue but the truth be told, an increase in "Viewers" is what everyone desires.

A Rood Awakening has the necessary staff ready to take the "Contact" information from you and support you in representing A Rood Awakening Ministries International, TV series.

Please take the time to go to the 2 example websites below and get a feel for the type of Public Access TV/Internet websites you might find in your area. Then go to the "Producer's Requirements" instructions and see just how simple this process can be. May you feel a sense of real "Action" in assisting the "Truths" being revealed today in the study of the WORD.

The links below takes you to a page within the Manhattan Neighborhood Network and Queens Public Access. The "Main Requirement" is to provide proof of your residency in the coverage area of the Public Access Station. Stations may offer training but this is if you are actually producing the program. No need for this training for A Rood Awakening Ministries International will provide all materials needed directly to the Public Access Station to ensure the station can air the program. This humble servant has witnessed that this has been very successful in the Manhattan area for almost 4 seasons or 2 years. All of this is still it's infancy and you will be a pioneer in this new medium to the public. Do not fear this "Video Content" will not be accepted for it is very much welcomed.

You might be led to contact your local Chamber of Commerce if you cannot find a local cable TV provider or Internet TV service.

Here are the 2 link to find examples of 2 Public Internet Station Provider and you can watch various programing in the Manhattan and Queens area. Your left hand will not know what your right is doing, but you will notice a certain "Flow" and "Acceptance" Please keep these basic steps in mind and in prayer.

1. Contact the Internet TV or Cable TV provider and ask questions on "Requirements to Air" already produced programming by Rood Awakening International. Submit that Rood Awakening is already aired on Faith TV, Sat Angel and many other Public Access stations.

2. Fill out the necessary forms and hand carry or mail them in with the necessary "proof of residency".

3. Contact A Rood Awakening! Ministries International and provide the "Public Access" stations contact information and you will have really provided a great contribution.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

A Word From Glenn McWilliams

Awakening in the Word
By Glenn McWilliams

The first book of the Torah is known by several different names. The Hebrew name of the first book follows the ancient, Near East custom of naming a book by its opening word or words. The first word of the Torah is the Hebrew word Bereshit, which means "In the beginning." Since this book opens with the creation narrative, it is also called Sefer B'ri'at Ha-Olam, which is "Book of the Creation of the Universe." Other Hebrew names for this book are Sefer Ha-Yashar or Sefer Ha-Y'sharim, "The Book of the Upright (Ones)," referring to the lives of the patriarchs whose story is told in this book. This first book is also called Sefer Toldot, "The Book of Generations," in reference to the ten times the phrase "These are the generations of. . ." is used.(1) The English title "Genesis" is derived from the Greek and Latin titles found in the Septuagint and Vulgate respectively, which may best be translated as "Origins."

It may be argued that the verses of this particular Torah portion are in realty the most important verses in the Scriptures. It is in these opening verses of the Torah that we first encounter the Creator of the universe and discover His identity and character. All history has its origin in this opening narrative of creation. We also discover the reality that the universe is not a random or serendipitous accident of nature, but the fruit of the expressed will of an infinitely intelligent designer. Through this revelation we come to understand that creation has been endowed with value, meaning, and purpose. In the structure of this narrative we likewise witness that this value, meaning, and purpose is especially and emphatically endowed upon humanity in a very unique calling. It is in these opening verses of the Torah that the family tree of all humanity has its roots and origin.

Outline:

Bereshit 1:1-2 The creation of the substance of heaven and earth
Bereshit 1:3-5 The creation of light
Bereshit 1:6-8 The creation of the firmament
Bereshit 1:9-13 The creation of dry land and plant life
Bereshit 1:14-19 The creation of the sun, the moon, and the stars
Bereshit 1:20-23 The creation of fish and fowl
Bereshit 1:24-25 The creation of other animal life

Prime Time TV Series On Faith TV And Sky Angel Network

The Almighty has opened the doors to a Prime Time TV Series, to be carried on Faith TV and Sky Angel!!!

What a year it has been for Michael Rood's ministry! There have been great challenges, but even greater rewards.

In spite of all that has happened, I am happy to report that Michael Rood's "A Rood Awakening!" TV series is in higher demand than ever. The series will be aired in 40 new cities across America on the following networks: Christian Television Network, Total Living Network, Super Channel Network, and Faith Television Network.

Each of these networks is also on the Sky Angel Satellite, which will give the "message" even more national and international coverage.

Faith Television Network is so excited about Michael's programs that they are giving him prime time Monday through Friday; that's right - prime time! Each night a different program in the series will be aired. Every night people across the globe will be tuning in to see the "A Rood Awakening!" TV series! We are breaking new ground - prime time 5 nights a week in 20 major cities across the U.S and on Faith TV's Sky Angel spot. We will reach more people with the Gospel of the Kingdom in these next two months than we have in the past year! This is profound.

Michael and the broadcast production team are busy updating his programs with the new ministry contact information and new commercials - and he is also creating new programs to keep up with the demand. Along with these wonderful blessings comes an opportunity for you to help. The ministry urgently needs three new video editing machines and a large video-editing storage server at a cost of $36,000.00.

In order to meet our broadcast fulfillment deadlines, we need these machines yesterday. We are fighting to produce the broadcasts that are contracted to go on the air in just a few weeks. We need to purchase this equipment TODAY! Please, someone help!!!

We know the Almighty has opened these doors and has prepared HIS people to help with this need.You have always been a special friend to the ministry.

Please pray about helping. Michael believes that YHWHhas raised up some champions to stand with Him at this time. Think about the millions of people all over the world who will now have the opportunity to experience for themselves the same teachings that changed your life and mine!

Please send Michael an e-mail Michael@reallyrood.com or call him @ 616-583-0200; or you can go to the website at www.michaelroodministries.com and donate if the Almighty lays it on your heart to help with this opportunity. Time is of the essence.

Thank you so much for standing with A Rood Awakening!

Shalom,

The Land of Fire and Ice: Iceland DVD

Two DVD's - One Timely Message

I would personally like to thank you for your patience during the transition to our new Michigan office and the arduous process of re-publishing my teaching materials. Our patience, on the other hand, was strained as equipment failure plagued us repeatedly during the production of the materials that we manufactured "in house" for the first time in Michigan.

Thanks to a kind and generous volunteer who visited us from Alaska who donated a new professional DVD Duplicator after witnessing our handicap, we are now able to complete your requests for my Iceland Interview DVD set, Messiah's First & Last Message to Israel MP3 CD, and Every Ministry Needs a Judas CD. These very popular and long awaited teachings will ship out this week to those who have requested them.

If you have not yet ordered the two-DVD Iceland series, please do not miss this exciting interview as I rehearse the first part of the prophetic plan for Iceland that unfolded over the past seven-years. We are requesting a donation of $50.00 or more for this set to help us in this endeavor. Thank you for your generous gifts that keep us supplied with ammo for the long fight ahead. You can call our Michigan office at 616-583-0200 or go to www.MichaelRoodMinistries.com to obtain this exciting interview. Keep in touch.

Until the smoke clears,
Michael Rood

Essential Elucidation From Michael Rood

The weekly Torah study series including the study guide, in-depth commentary, and the Internet video is provided free of charge to the entire world via our website

Those who help shoulder the burden will be honored by receiving the entire video teaching on broadcast quality DVD's and will receive a published study guide, in-depth commentary, and printable PDF file each week for distribution among your Torah study group - all bound in a professional binder.

It takes a dedicated team of people an entire week to produce each of these videos for free distribution on the Internet. If you appreciate our Levitical ministry and want us to continue feeding the entire world, Please
send food. . .

Now, as I was saying. . . Make your New Year's Resolutions Today! Join us on the First Sabbath of The Biblical New Year, 6008 F.C. (Sundown April 11th - Sundown April 12, 2008).

1. Get your life on the Creator's schedule by celebrating The Feasts of the LORD this year according to the aviv barley harvest and the monthly sighting of the new moon in the land of Israel.

2. Commit to the fervent study of the Hebrew Scriptures by joining us for a three-year, in-depth, weekly study of the Torah according to Israel's ancient tri-ennial cycle.

Each week during the next 3 years, we will post a downloadable study guide along with an in-depth commentary written by Glenn McWilliams, Michael Rood's favorite Torah scholar and teacher.

Each Shabbat, Michael Rood Ministries will broadcast The "AWAKENING in the WORD" Torah study via the Internet. Saints from around the world will be joining us free of charge for this international adventure.

Invite your friends, family, foes and neighbors to join with you in the study each week. Tune into our broadcast of Glenn's elegant exegesis of Torah truth as you gather each Shabbat to fellowship and share the depth of the Living WORD.

Our "NO LEAVEN" policy ensures that you will not be assaulted by crusty interpretations from The "Dead Rabbis Society", but rather feast on fresh bread from Heaven, lavishly buttered by the Ruach ha Kodesh and washed down by Living Water from the cup of Messiah.

Don't put it off for another moment. Join the cutting edge of the Messianic movement as we continue to restore the "ancient paths" on our adventure of a lifetime!
