    A look at Joshua 2:1-24 and Luke 17:1-18:43

    JOSHUA 2:1-24 This is the other “Spy Story”, involving “two” spies. I remember from back in the 1960s watching “Man from U.N.C.L.E” on TV, involving two spies. Yehoshua sends them out to spy out “Jericho” They arrive at the house of “Rahab” a prostitute, she hides them and expresses her...

    A look at Zechariah 2:10-4:7 and Luke 15:1-16:31

    ZECH 2:10-4:7 The prophet Zekaryah speaks saying: “And many goyim shall be joined to YHVH in that day, and they shall become MY PEOPLE” (vs 11) But wait a minute, isn’t Israel the people of YHVH? Yes, they will NEVER cease to be, but also, the Gentiles will be “joined with” the YisraEL...

    The Festival of Pentecost/Shavuot, (in a nutshell)

    SHAVUOT/PENTECOST What’s it all about? This is the time of year when this “Moed” (appointed time) is celebrated. There are three times when all Israelites were commanded to go up to Yerushalayim to celebrate God’s appointed times, Passover, The Feast of Tabernacles, and the Feast of Weeks...

    Numbers 1:1- 4:20 The first "IDF" (Israel Defense Forces) instituted

    NUMBERS 1:1-4:20 "B'Midbar" (in the wilderness, desert) We start the new Torah Sefer called “Numbers” in English because it talks about “numbering” the tribes of Israel. In the Greek Septuagint we get the Greek word "Arithmoi" from whence we get "arithmetic." wonder why the reason...

    A brief look at Jeremiah 32:6-27 and Luke 7

    JEREMIAH 32:6-27; 16:19-17:14 The prophet, before his people went into exile in Babylon, buys a piece of property, Why? Because Adonai has promised him that he will buy and sell again, build houses, and plant vineyards, AFTER a period of 10 periods of 7 years each. Israel did not...

    Giving the land a rest (Leviticus 25-26)

    Parasha: “B’Har” (on the Mountain) LEVITICUS 25:1-26:2 “Give it a rest! Will ya?” I am sure you have heard that expression before, or “Give it a rest already!” People tend to say that when one continues in some theme or argues over a point that is not really worth it, HOWEVER, this is what...

    Ezekiel 44:15-31 and Luke 5:1-6:49

    EZEKIEL 44:15-31 In this prophetic book, the Prophet sees into the future, the future priests of the third temple, (to be built in the near future) the descendants of “Zadok” will be the priests in the millennium, the same high standards are for these priests as well. It also states the...

    Leviticus 21-24; What is God saying?

    Thank Adonai for YESHUA, who bridged the gap caused by sin, to be our “high priest” before a Holy God, although our sin in dark and ugly, and we should see ourselves as such, because it is reality, through YESHUA, Our Heavenly Father sees us as “white as snow” or “white a wool” and now, under...

    Leviticus 21-24; What is God saying?

    PARASHAH: “Emor” (Say) LEVITICUS 21:1-24:23 In this parashah study we see more details on the sanctity, Holiness, and comportment of priests. When we read in chapter 21, we read that YHVH is very particular and pays much attention to the physical. We might think that God only looks...

    Amos 9:7-15 and Luke 2:1-52

    AMOS 9:7-15 Amos Ha Navi (Amos the Prophet) speaks through the Ruach HaKodesh (the Holy Spirit) saying that Yes, Adonai will seek out and punish Israel for their sins, and will search out the kingdoms of the earth where they are at, many will and have been destroyed because of their...

    Leviticus 19: "Be Ye Holy for I AM HOLY"

    Chapter 19 starts with the words; “Ye shall be Holy for I am Holy”. When we look at the original Hebrew we read; “Amarta Aleichem Kadoshim ti’hiyu Ki Kadosh Ani” But there is something different in the two words; “Kadoshim” (ones who are holy) and Kadosh (Holy ONE). The word “Be ye Holy” in...

    PARASHOT: “Tazriah” (she bears seed) and “Metsora” (infected ones). Leviticus 12 and 13 We are now in El Salvador. New life, reduced living space, new ministry, but still teaching God's Word to those who will listen and learn. Slower WiFi, takes forever for it to connect. Turn on the...

    Isaiah 43:21-44:23

    ISAIAH 43:21-44:23 YHVH speaks through the Prophet Yeshayahu and is complaining that Israel has forgotten about God, they no longer bring sacrifices, but are engrossed in sin, He explains that craftsmen will use their skill to make idols, that have no value, what a waste of craftsmanship! They...

    On HOLINESS to God, an Intro to Leviticus (chapters 1-6)

    PARASHA: “Vayikra” (and he called) LEVITICUS 1:1-6:7 The basic theme of Leviticus is "Holiness to GOD" and "coming near to Him" We all receive that calling (VaYikra) yet not all respond. As the scriptures say: "Many are called but only a few are chosen". Yet who are those who are chosen...

    A look at Exodus 30:11-34:35

    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...

    A look at Exodus 30:11-34:35

    PARASHA: “Ki Tisa” (when you elevate) EXODUS 30:11-34:35 Here’s an interesting question; “Does God have faces? If yes, how many? Think about this question and we’ll come to the answer later on in this study. Can a man look upon the "face" of God and live to tell about it? we'll soon find out...
