A desire to understand Scripture is essential to growing as a Kingdom believer, receiving Yeshua's mindset, and producing fruit. Daily time in God's Word will keep you grounded. Often, the help of a "teacher" can expand understanding and the application of Scripture in today's non-Godly culture.

What Jesus Created For Us
For those interested in in-depth study, use our LINKS menu under the Teachings section, go to Torah Class, developed by Tom Bradford at the Seed of Abraham website. This ministry also has its own "Channel" available through Roku and other services. We recommend you complete Torah Class videos, starting with the Old Testament books of Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus, and the New Testament books of John and Revelation. Then take on Daniel and Malachi. You will be very blessed if you take time to do this, not to mention better informed.
Messiah Yeshua (Jesus) said He had come to complete the Laws given to Moses, not to eliminate them. Believers are admonished to love God and demonstrate their obedience, even if it means risking their lives. Dietrich Bonhoeffer said, "Jesus bids us to come and die." This is affirmed in the Book of Revelation regarding the decision of living Christians to "not take the Mark of the Beast," even if it means your death. (see Rev. 13:16...) Once the Mark of the Beast is taken, there is no longer redemption, even by Jesus' blood, and the soul is eternally lost to the kingdom of Darkness and Satan. (see Rev. 14:9).
Salvation is cherished and kept by how Believers live in a Kingdom where obedience to God's Word and Torah is equated with the love of Jesus. Intimacy with God the Father deepens as your life becomes increasingly surrendered to Him and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit.
The Spirit transforms the New Creation that Jesus created by His death. The remnants of the old, carnal nature fade away over time, and your soul embraces your new spirit. As Kingdom believers, our citizenship in the eternal Kingdom of God holds greater significance than allegiance to any earthly nation or other 'god' or our carnal self. Let the Deeper Dive draw you into a deeper intimacy with God alone.
Be alert to the many apostate churches and denominations that have adopted heresies, such as "replacement theology, multiple paths to salvation, universal salvation, infant baptism, or other traditions that are inconsistent or outright contradict Scriptures, or the spoken Words of Yeshua, who is the Living Word of God in human form. Such "churches" are Synagogues of Satan designed to deceive Believers. (See John 1:1-4). Those who place their faith in denominational traditions and ignore Hebrew Scriptures are likely to find themselves in the uncomfortable situation of Math 7:21.
The Fruit and Gifts of the Spirit
A Kingdom Believer develops character traits that blossom as their relationship with the Holy Spirit deepens. He works within them, shaping their hearts and renewing their mindset to reflect that of Yeshua. Over time, the Gifts of the Holy Spirit begin to manifest, as described in the videos above. One of these gifts, the Gift of Tongues, is often misunderstood and even controversial across many church denominations and fellowships. This is especially curious when we consider that John Wesley and his brother, founders of the Methodist Church, had visions and dreams which are Gifts of the Spirit. Yet today, the Methodist Church largely disavows the very gifts that marked its beginnings! For more information, see our video in the Revivals section, which highlights John Wesley and the Methodist Revival.
The Gifts of the Holy Spirit, His indwelling presence, and the Fruits He produces have sadly become points of division among Christians today. Yet rejecting any supernatural gift of the Spirit leaves believers exposed and vulnerable to spiritual attack. Satanic forces are actively working to weaken and undermine the body of Christ in our generation—and it is through the power and discernment of the Holy Spirit that we stand firm, equipped, and protected.
While Yeshua (Jesus) walked the earth, He often healed those in the crowds who listened as He spoke of the Kingdom of God. He also commissioned His disciples to do likewise, sending them out two-by-two with His authority over death and eternal life to bring healing to those they encountered. At first, supernatural healing was beyond their expectations—but as they prayed for the sick and afflicted, they witnessed remarkable freedom and lasting restoration. After Jesus’ resurrection and ascension, His Apostles—empowered by the Holy Spirit—carried forward the mantle of healing. And so, in every generation of the Kingdom, the Holy Spirit continues to manifest this gift through willing vessels, bringing hope, healing, and testimony to the power of God at work among us. This is discussed in the Holy Spirit Gift of Healing video above. Please watch it and realize that healing is for today.
Like the Gift of Tongues, the Gift of Healing can be controversial—especially when healing that’s been prayed for doesn’t visibly manifest in the earthly realm. In those moments, the enemy often seizes the opportunity to whisper lies to the afflicted: “God doesn’t love you enough to heal you,” or “You’re just not good enough for Him to heal.” These lies can be deeply wounding, leading some to turn away from the Kingdom. That’s why expressing God’s unwavering love to those who are still waiting for healing is essential to ministering this gift with wisdom and compassion. We’ve devoted an entire video to this topic. If you or someone you love has prayed for healing but hasn’t yet seen it, we encourage you to watch: Go to the Video Selector and find Holy Spirit Gift of Healing.
Words & Names Define Thinking
Words are important because different languages use different words to describe the same concepts. This makes translating Scripture (the Inspired Word of God) challenging. Understanding this will help you understand variations in specific languages. It is also good to understand that the Hebrew "Aleph-Bet" and its uniqueness as a language convey concepts, numeric values, and dimensional levels. It's good to study words like "eternity" and "everlasting" and discover the differences, for example. It is also essential to learn the "meaning" associated with a symbol (word) and how it has changed as the culture using the word changed.
Understanding Realms and Their Dimensionality
📖 To those hungry for deeper understanding, we invite you to explore the videos on Spiritual Domains and the Seen and Unseen Realms.
Scripture reveals a profound truth: the unseen spiritual realm is not only real, but also supreme. What we perceive in the earthly realm is but a shadow, a partial reflection of the greater, heavenly domain. This divine hierarchy echoes through creation, and even modern science—through Quantum Mechanics and String Theory—is beginning to whisper what Scripture has declared all along: there is more than meets the eye.
Elohim (Lucifer, Fallen Angels, Nephilim & More)
This covers all the topics that most pastors rarely preach on, fearing they may confuse believers. Yet understanding the Truth in the time-space of our realm of Creation cannot fully occur without understanding these topics. Nor can God's call to wipe out certain groups of beings in the Old Testament times be understood without understanding the importance of a pure bloodline from which the Messiah could come forth. Genealogies are essential in scripture, as is the note on hybrid beings that included both human and angelic DNA.
Characteristics of the Creator
From the time of the creation of mankind (a creation and reflection of God's essence), God slowly revealed His Names to believers, as well as descriptive attributes of Himself.
Names Reflect Being-ness. If one understands a Name, they understand what it is, how it operates, and whether it can be controlled. Throughout His interactions with mankind, God has revealed His various Names. Each expands our understanding of one or more aspects of His nature and being.
Coexistence with Divinity
Mankind is imperfect and sins, which offends God, as we were created to reflect His "image" and live in fellowship with Him. But our sin stirs up His righteous wrath because it profanes His Name and being. The penalty for this is death, which would interrupt the loving exchange He desires. Please take a look at what solution Christianity offers to fix this problem.
Covenants and Priesthood
Covenants made under different priesthoods have various applications. In the Old Testament era, covenants were directly made by God (or the Angel of Yahweh) with Abraham and confirmed by God's interactions with Isaac and Jacob (Israel) thereafter. This Mosaic covenant remains in force today, contrary to the teachings of many Christian churches.
Under God's covenant with Moses, the Levites served as priests, performing tabernacle services for law violations and conducting ceremonies for the Feast Days in the spring and fall.
When Solomon built the Temple, these services replaced the tabernacle. All blood sacrifices were temporary until Messiah (Jesus) came and shed His own blood on the cross to nullify the sins of Kingdom believers permanently. By that time, the Ark of the Covenant had been lost, and the inside of the Holy of Holies was empty except for the presence of the Holy Spirit. When the curtain was torn at Jesus' crucifixion, the Holy Spirit left the Temple, and the miracles associated with Yom Kippur ceased.
Subsequently, the Romans destroyed the Temple, but many Jews—particularly those outside of Jerusalem—worshiped the Lord in synagogues close to where they lived, both inside Israel and in many neighboring nations. Synagogues were primarily run by Pharisees, who were connected with the predominantly Sadducee-led Temple management through the Sanhedrin Council.
Living in Two Realms At Once
Messiah Yeshua/Jesus and the Apostle Paul taught that the life of a Kingdom believer was hidden in Jesus, who sits at the Father's right hand. This video discusses the understanding of these scriptures (e.g., John 3:12-15 and Colossians 3:1-3). It touches on Paul's introduction to the One New Man that Jesus created, who integrates Jews and God-fearing Gentiles into a single Kingdom of God's spiritual person. See Ephesians 2:12-15.
Time-Space, Portals, Gates, Kairos Moments between Seen and Unseen Realms (<- Video Coming). Jews in Old Testament times had no notion of space-time, relativity, or quantum mechanics, so Bible translations should not be considered science books but a window to Jewish thought/understanding of their time. It used concepts they could comprehend.
Today, Einstein showed that Time cannot be discussed within a spatial context. However, we have also learned that time-space flow is not continuous. This is another way of saying that our time-space is Quantum rather than continuous.
This has two profound consequences. First, the time-space in the Unseen (Spiritual Realm) differs from the time-space flow in the Seen (Earthly-Cosmos) creation. Second, there is a lower limit to the division of time-space below which matter "disappears" and becomes associated with ALL space, not an observable space.
This video discusses these two implications and the implication of God having created all time-spaces and being outside them. He knows the end from the beginning because he created time-spaces and everything else for His purposes.
Learn Why Seeing is Not Believing
Seeing is limited by mindset, by neural patterns imparted by the Creator, and learned by supernatural encounters. How this impacts "testimony" and our understanding of other people's witness is discussed.
In Future Versions of theDanielPlace videos for each Bullet Point listed can be selected. (<- Video Coming) cover the born again and indwelling aspects of Holy Spirit making your body a temple for His presence and manifestations in your life as a testimony to the Lordship and Power of King Yeshua/Jesus in the earthly realm.

Many YouTube videos and links to other websites and teachers are included here. We rejoice in the knowledge that God has guided you to this Section, signifying your readiness to embark on these advanced stages of your spiritual growth. You may find that these materials challenge rather than confirm your previous understanding. The topics covered transcend the usual sermons in most denominational churches. As with all revelations, we encourage you to delve into the Bible translations and present your findings to the Holy Spirit for His affirmation.
Humanity is more complex than the simplistic notion of being a spirit, soul and physical body. We can understand the implications of the Holy Spirit's presence within us, how our body can serve as a Temple of the Holy Spirit, and how the physical and spiritual realms are entangled within our earthly bodies. Learn to tap into fellowship with the presence of Yeshua/Jesus in the (unseen) Spiritual realm today, enabling us to understand the tasks, missions, and anointing assigned by the Holy Spirit to manifest the Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven, as stated in the Lord's Prayer.

To appreciate what Scripture means today, it helps to better understand the Hebrew culture that produced it, the Hebrew mindset, and what God was saying to scattered Israel collectively, who received His scriptures. Many Jews did not live in Israel or near the Temple in Jerusalem. Many Jews lived in nations surrounding Israel and others in nations quite far away. These worshipped God in synagogues, not the Temple in Jerusalem.
-
Remember that God has blessed God-fearing gentiles through the Jews, as Jesus was born a Jew, is a Jew, never renounced Judaism, and came to complete the Torah and Law of Moses, not to start a new religion that ignores them! All references in the New Testament books to Scripture were to passages in the Old Testament, not the New Testament.
