Jacob's
Ladder is a weekly expository Bible Study on the Torah (the first five
books of the Bible) taught by Brent Avery. Because of the incredible depth
of prophetic meaning and life application evident in the books of the
Torah through types and patterns, some might even call the study, "The
Gospel according to Moses." Jesus truly is the light of creation
and the "lamb slain from the foundations of the world." Brent's
study and teaching helps one to find the revelation of Himself in every
book, chapter, verse, sentence, word, and even letter of the Bible.
Brent's
teaching is unique because he examines intimate relationship between the
New Testament and Old, takes time to explore the meaning of the text in
the original Hebrew language, and applies teachings of the ancient Jewish
sages. These often bring to light new and mind-blowing patterns throughout
the entire Bible - and inevitably point to our Savior, Jesus.
Anyone
is always welcome to come and participate.

The
Name
The
name Jacob's Ladder is taken from a vision that Jacob had in the book
of Genesis of angels ascending and descending heaven on a ladder (Gen.
28:12). This vision is representative of Jesus, who has provided the link
between earth and heaven through His sacrifice (John 1:51). Accompanying
that vision is the promise of inheritance first given to Abraham; the
inheritance which Jesus provides to all who believe in Him. We are called
to be like Jesus, and in many ways we are the link between the world and
Jesus, since one of the greatest ways the world can see the light of God
is through our lives.
