Shalom. I'd like to warmly welcome you to the initial installment of my online course, Secrets of the Forgotten Prophetic Scriptures. You're about to embark on a one-of-a-kind study of 2 Baruch, a sacred book that most people have never heard of, much less read.

After completing this course, you will be equipped to defend the veracity of Baruch's apocalyptic scroll. You will understand how the prophetic revelations given to this Hebrew holy man work in concert with those given to the other, more familiar prophets.

Second Baruch is a deep and moving book, and if you're like me, you'll relate to the author's grief-driven barrage of questions for God. You will likely find yourself encouraged, though, by the big-picture perspective that is presented to Baruch. The sovereignty of the Most High is repeatedly underlined as Baruch supernaturally witnesses the conclusion of the current age and the installment of the Messianic kingdom.


SCHEDULE

Lessons will be released every five days (excluding Saturdays). An email will be sent to you whenever a new lesson is made available.


REQUIREMENTS

How much you get from this course is entirely up to you. Nothing is required of you, but I strongly suggest that you complete the assigned readings before watching each lesson. There is no time limit on the completion of the course.



USING THE COURSE SITE

This academy can be viewed on numerous devices and operating systems, but there may be small quirks with some OS/browser combinations. For the best possible experience, I recommend using the Chrome web browser on a desktop computer or large tablet.

If you experience issues playing the videos, try switching from HTML5 to Flash. You'll find the toggle for this by clicking the gear-shaped icon at the top of the page.


INTERACTION IS ENCOURAGED

Feel free to take advantage of the discussion boards that are integrated into each lesson. These are helpful for asking questions and sharing thoughts related specifically to the topics covered in the corresponding lectures. For more general discussion about 2 Baruch and other extra-biblical books, please post within our private Facebook group (the link to which will be provided during lesson #1).
