Unlocking the Hebraic Idioms of the Bible: Episode 23
In this in–depth study from Isaiah 14, Pastor Brandon unpacks the fall of Satan, the layers of Hebrew idioms in the passage, and the prophetic connection between Lucifer, the Antichrist, and the future Messianic Kingdom. This session walks verse by verse through the famous “Five I Wills,” revealing the pride that corrupted the anointed cherub and how the same Luciferian mindset continues to manifest in the world today.
Discover how Isaiah intertwines past, present, and future events to show the original rebellion of Satan and the judgment that awaits him. Learn why Scripture refers to him not as “Lucifer,” but as *Halel ben Shachar*, the shining one, and how ancient Jewish interpretation, prophetic patterns, and New Testament revelation all converge to form a complete picture of his fall.
Pastor Brandon also explains:
• The true meaning of “fallen from heaven”
• Why Satan’s fall is an idiom for judgment and disgrace
• The role of the anointed cherub and his original position before God
• The prophetic meaning of the five “I Will” statements
• Why Satan still believes he can win
• How the Antichrist will attempt to fulfill Satan’s ancient ambitions
• The millennial reign of Christ and why God releases Satan after a thousand years
• How human pride mirrors Lucifer’s rebellion
• The coming judgment of the abyss and the final lake of fire
This teaching digs deep into prophetic themes, Hebrew linguistics, ancient Near Eastern context, and the unfolding spiritual battle described throughout Scripture. It also reminds every believer to guard their heart from pride and to walk humbly before the Lord Jesus Christ.
May the Holy Spirit illuminate the Word as you study.
All glory to the Most High.
Unlocking the Hebraic Idioms of the Bible: Episode 22
In this in-depth Bible study, Pastor Brandon Holthaus unpacks one of Scripture’s most powerful Hebraisms: “My Well Beloved Has a Vineyard.” This message explores Isaiah 5 and the parable of the vineyard, revealing God’s heart for Israel, the prophetic imagery behind the vineyard and the fig tree, and how misunderstanding this passage can lead to dangerous theological errors like Replacement Theology.
From Isaiah to the Gospels, Pastor Brandon traces the prophetic line showing how Israel’s spiritual condition in the days of Isaiah carried through to the time of Jesus and even into the modern era. Learn why the vineyard symbolizes Israel, how God’s expectations of righteousness were met with rebellion, and why Jesus’ parable of the wicked tenants serves as both a warning and a prophecy of coming judgment.
This lesson dives into:
- The Hebraic meaning of “My Well Beloved Has a Vineyard” (Isaiah 5)
- How Israel became a prophetic signpost of God’s plan
- The difference between the vineyard, the fig tree, and the olive tree
- Why misunderstanding this passage fuels Replacement Theology
- The prophetic parallels between ancient Israel and the modern church
- The unchanging covenant promises of God to Israel

Unlocking the Hebraic Idioms of the Bible: Episode 21
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.

In this message Pastor Brandon walks through the doctrine of the remnant and shows why it is essential for understanding Israel, the church, and God’s prophetic plan. Beginning with Elijah and the seven thousand who did not bow the knee to Baal, he traces how Isaiah develops the remnant theme and how Paul explains it in Romans chapters 9 through 11.
Pastor Brandon explains what a remnant is, why it is pictured as a torn piece of cloth, and how God always preserves a believing minority inside the larger nation of Israel and inside the visible church. He exposes the roots of replacement theology and supersessionism, showing how they grew out of the early church breaking from its Jewish roots and how they often flow into anti Jewish attitudes today.
From there the study unpacks key covenants that still belong to ethnic Israel, including the Abrahamic covenant, the land covenant, the Davidic covenant, and the new covenant. Pastor Brandon explains why these promises cannot be transferred to the church, how Gentile believers share in the spiritual blessings of the new covenant without replacing Israel, and why the survival and future salvation of Israel depend on the remnant that God preserves.
The message also looks at the stump of Jesse in Isaiah 11, the humbled and almost cut off Davidic line, and how Messiah Jesus rises from poverty and obscurity to fulfill the promises to David. Along the way you will see how all of this connects to Christmas, the birth of Christ, and his future reign on David’s throne in the millennial kingdom.
This lesson will help you:
• Understand the doctrine of the remnant of Israel
• Answer claims that the church has replaced Israel
• See how Romans 9 through 11 protects God’s character and faithfulness
• Recognize modern forms of replacement theology and Christian antisemitism
• Grow in discernment as part of the faithful remnant in the church today
