EXODUS 18:1-20:26 We see in this study a lot of wisdom on the part of Moses and Yitro, his father-in-law. First, we learn that Moses had sent his wife and children back to stay with their father and grandfather. I believe that, for safekeeping, when one sees danger, it is wise to care for one's...

Amen, God is the Lion, and the Lamb, all in one. We "symbolically" eat his flesh (invite him to come inside of us) and drink his blood (again, invite him to come inside of us to live in us through his Holy Spirit. It is SYMBOLISM.

The name “Elohim” and “YHVH” are both used in this Parashah, “Elohim” is used in the beginning of this parashah, in Chap 13:17 meaning the “Strong, powerful God” yet the name YHVH later on, shows the personal name, (coming from “Havayah” meaning “to exist”) shows the personal relationship as...

PARASHAH: “B'shalach” (when he let go) EXODUS 13:17-17:16.... We are coming down to the “show down” where Pharaoh gets his just desserts, and gets what he deserves for defying the God of Israel, going back on his word to “let Israel go”, you cannot pursue Israel without getting hurt, and...

“Go sacrifice to your God in the land” (just stay in Egypt) “go to the wilderness, but not so far away.” (yes, so we can keep an eye on you so that you don’t run away!) “Go serve the LORD, the men only” (yet Adonai wants “all the people”) “go serve the LORD, but your herds and flocks stay here”...

Exodus 10:1-13:16: “And the LORD said unto Moshe, ‘Go in unto Pharaoh’…” Strange, the word “Go” in Hebrew is “Sh’lach”, but the Hebrew scriptures read “Bo” (enter) so, in reality, the Word of God is saying, “Enter, or Come in unto Pharaoh” But why? One way of looking at this is that Adonai is...

EZEKIEL 28:25-29:21 The prophet speaks through the Holy Spirit and affirms that, even though Israel has been scattered throughout the world's countries, they will be returned to their land in the future. It is already happening; Israel was recognized as a nation in 1948, and since then...

PARASHA: “Va’era” (and I appeared) EXODUS 6:2-9:35 YHVH speaks to Moshe saying that when he appeared to Abraham, he revealed himself as “El Shaddai” which means “God Almighty” or “God all-powerful, yet he did not reveal himself as he did to Moshe, with Moshe he revealed himself with the more...

Lesson 14 of 16 in the Bible study series "From Dry Bones to Filled Lungs" (By Faith Ye Must be Born Again) John 3 Who was Nikodemus? Did he understand or not understand what it meant to be 'born again'? The Pharisees had some ideas about being 'born again,' but not in the way Yeshua/Jesus...

I would like to mention that this "daughter of Pharaoh" was a proselyte, whose name was "Bit-Yah" or "BatYah." "Daughter of God." Her name is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 4 as being the wife of "Mered," one of the descendants of Judah. When she married Mered is not known. So, she was "grafted into"...

EXODUS 1:1-6:1 We enter into a new era, Jacob/Israel and Joseph are now in the past, yet their legacy continues, in “Am Yisrael” (The People of Israel). ”70 souls” entered Mitzraim (Egypt). It is interesting that the Hebrew word “Nefesh” is used for “souls,” yet the word is in the singular...

PARASHA: “VaYechi” (and he lived) GEN 47:28-50:26 In this, we see Jacob (Israel) in his last days, he prepares to “go the way of all men” (as King David put it), Jacob is getting ready to die. He prepares himself and ensures that his sons and grandsons are blessed, so they know what lies ahead...

EZEKIEL 37:15-28 Here, Ezekiel the Prophet sees the joining of Judah and the children of Israel, and Yosef, with his son Efrain,” and they are joined together as ONE (Echad) “One in Unity” Once they were separated, Yosef and his sons in Egypt, and Israel, Judah, and his brothers, in Canaan, but...

"From Dry Bones to Filled Lungs" (Lesson 13 of 16) "The Mosaic Covenant, The Conditional Covenant" Can a covenant be broken? What is a covenant? It is an agreement on something. What is meant by "conditional?" A clause, a legal stipulation, or making certain terms in said covenant. Is a...

PARASHA: “VaYIGASH” (and he drew near) GENESIS 44:18-47:27 "The Power of Forgiveness" In this Parashah, we read that “he (Y'hudah) drew near” to Yosef, and shows himself as truly repentant for his past actions against Yosef, for selling him for the price of a common slave. And we see the...

1 KINGS 3:15-4:1 In this scripture portion, we see Solomon lifting up“burnt-offerings” and “peace-offerings.” He also had “dreams.” In his dream, YHVH asked him what he wished for, “For wisdom, an understanding heart to judge this people,” and YHVH thus granted him what he wished for. This...

Parashah: “Miketz” (at the end of) GENESIS 41:1-44:17. When we look into this parashah study, we see Yosef, who was, in a way of speaking, in the “pit.” He was cast into prison for something he did not do, yet he continued to trust YHVH for his needs. This reminds us of King David's words, “You...

“I’m Sergeant Kohler, Herr Rabiner. I’m replacing Sergeant Muller.” “What happened to Muller?” asked the rabbi. “Sent to the front, for reasons that are not really important,” replied Kohler. “Rabbi,” continued Sergeant Kohler, “not all Germans love Hitler and hate the Jews; some, like me...

“No” replied a second man, “the Rebbe will ask Herr Kommandant for some candles, matches, and maybe even a golden menorah.” The men were just shaking their heads, murmuring if indeed the rabbi had lost his senses. “Where is your faith?” replied the Rebbe, “is there anything too difficult for...
