These are good descriptions of our God. He IS full of mercy and showed us grace, in that we were yet sinners, He came to earth in human form and died for us all. He is “long-suffering” in that he puts up with our “stuff’ our “attitudes” and “rebellions” and gives us second, third, and fourth...

THE BOOK OF ESTHER - Midrash and Symbolism The reading of the book of Esther during the time of Purim is customary, and when one reads the entire book, one will notice that the name of God is never mentioned. We do not see the name of God written in the entire book, yet the intervention of...

A QUICK MIDRASH ON THE BOOK OF ESTHER, SINCE PURIM IS UPON US. The Festival of Purim (lots) starts this year tonight, March 6th and goes through March 8th. Tonight is a full moon. It seems like all of God's appointed days are "full moon" days. So, what is Purim all about? We need to go to the...

EZEKIEL 43: 10-27 The prophet receives a vision of the heavenly temple, which is an exact replica of the tabernacle and temple on earth. When YHVH gave the instructions to Moshe to make the tabernacle and later, when Solomon built the temple, it was with the plan of the heavenly temple that...

Many ask what was the first “clothing” like. How were Adam and Eve dressed? If we go back to Genesis, we can get an idea and answer that question to the best of our ability. “And they were both naked, the man and his wife, yet they were not ashamed; Gen 2:25. This verse is insinuating that there...

PARASHA: “Tetsaveh” (you shall command) EXODUS 27:20-30 In this parashah, we will see the preparation of the Menorah, and the clothing of the priests. The study starts out with preparing olive oil to fill the lamps of the Menorah, The Torah tells us that it was a “permanent light” (Ner Tamid)...

Gold, silver, precious stones, fabric, and wood. Now there is a question, where did the wood come from? Is there any Shitim and Acacia trees in the desert? If one looks at the desert of Saudi Arabia today, even through “google maps” or “google earth” one can see almost no trees, just bare...

Parashah: “T'rumah” (offering) EXODUS 25:1-27:19 In this Torah study, we see that a request is made for a “free-will offering” so that the tabernacle can be built and the articles of furnishings for the same. As we remember, when the Israelites left Egypt, they left with quite a treasure that...

PARASHA: “Mishpatim” (Judgments) EXODUS 21:1-24:18 “Bringing to light the meaning of some difficult commandments" This parashah involves the giving of a variety of commandments, that Elohim gave to Moshe to give/write down, and teach to “b'nei Israel” the first has to do with servants and...

ISAIAH 6:1-7:6 ” KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH, ADONAI TZEVA’OT” ... Holy, Holy, Holy, is YHVH of hosts” When the Torah mentions the “Holiness” of God, the word is KADOSH, the “O” is there, (the letter “vav” in Hebrew) but when “holiness” is mentioned referring to mankind, the “O” is missing, and we...

Amen, it is a tough call, but not impossible. Many say that "When my rabbi accepts Yeshua, then I will too!" As long a the rabbis have an open mind and heart, that is what counts, as long as they are willing to listen to you, that is good. We must present the gospel in a loving way. Jews...

Good question; Must the 613 commandments be observed today to be in right standing with God? There is no possible way to follow all 613 commandments today. Some were for only the Levitical priesthood, some were for women, and some were for animal sacrifices. Some were for those who had farms...

Well, if next week rolls around and you pay back what you owe, you will have HONORED the NAME of GOD, yet if you don't, you will have taken the NAME of God in vain! It is better not to make promises and use God's name, we can always say “I'll do my best to pay you back as soon as I am able” and...

PARASHAH: “B'shalach” (when he let go) EXODUS 13:17-17:16 Good question to ponder. Have we left "Egypt" behind, or do we have Egyptian baggage with us still? The ways of the old fleshly nature still hang around. We left the lost world when Yeshua/Jesus came our Savior and LORD, yet the carnal...

JEREMIAH 46:13-28 Many years later, after the fall of Egypt at Passover, disaster strikes, this time, YHVH uses Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon as an instrument of destruction against Egypt. Nebuchadnezzar invaded and conquered Egypt in the year 605 B.C.E and was ruled by Babylon for 43 years...

But we still have Vav (V) and Hey (H). We know that the “Hey” covers the promises, but the “Vav” is the key letter that points us to Calvary’s Cross! The “Vav” is the nail, that was driven into the hands of Mashiach, this would “really” fulfill the promise of redemption. The redemption was...
