    "Sarah Lives!" (The memory of a beloved spouse) Genesis 23-25

    A spouse is like a jewel to be worn and cared for, for “x” number of years, but the Jeweler will call for his gem someday, and we will have to take “her” or “him” off and return “her” or “him” to Jeweler of all creation. I think that the more we love our spouse, the more difficult it will be for...

    "Sarah Lives!" (The memory of a beloved spouse) Genesis 23-25

    PARASHAH: “Chayei Sarah” (Sarah lives) GENESIS 23:1-25:18 The title of the Parashah is “Sarah Lives” or “Sarah lived”. Yet Sarah is dead, so, how does she live? She lives on in the memory of Abraham, her legacy lives on, her influence lives on, and this is what the patriarch wants for Isaac...

    A look at 2 Kings 4:1-37 and Matt 6: 1-7:29

    2 KINGS 4:1-37 Here, Elisha Ha Navi (the Prophet) ministers to a Shunamite woman, as some prophets had a public ministry, Elisha had more of a private ministry, ministering to individuals more than to the general public as a whole. Yeshua did both, he ministered to the sick, the hurting, the...

    Abraham blesses the angels, and gets a big blessing back; Gen 18-22

    We know that before, he had much cattle. What happened to his cattle? Did he sell the cattle in order to buy the house? What happened to his tents? Traded it all for a life of “excitement?” inside the city? We must say that when families move to places or into neighborhoods that are corrupt, one...

    Abraham blesses the angels, and gets a big blessing back; Gen 18-22

    PARASHAH VaYERA” (and he appeared) GENESIS 18:1-22:24…… YHVH appears to Abraham at his tent, yet it also says that “three” men appeared to him. He addresses them as LORD (YHVH), how is that? One can only wonder. Could one of them be YHVH incarnate and the other two ministering angels? Could...

    "Righteous Noah, are we like him?" (Genesis 6:22-11:32)

    We can look at the Genesis flood in this way. It is symbolic of the Rapture. The waters rose and lifted the Ark "Above" the waters of judgment, so in the future, All believers will be "lifted above" the fires of judgment. The original creation was changed/destroyed, and Noah settled on a "new...

    The Call of Abraham, our calling too (Genesis 12-17)

    Yet we cannot forget about Ishmael, who was the son of Abraham and Hagar, the Egyptian. The promise extended to him too, although this was not part of God’s “perfect” will. He “permitted” the union between Abraham and Hagar, yet with consequences; the Arab nations who are the enemies of Israel...

    The Call of Abraham, our calling too (Genesis 12-17)

    PARASHAH: “Lech Lecha” (go forth yourself) GENESIS 12:1-17:27 How is the call of Abraham our calling too? There is a time in our life when we must choose to follow the LORD and leave behind our life of sin and perdition. We must "cross over" to the "born again" experience, and begin to head...

    A look at Isaiah 40:3-41:16 and Romans 4:1-25

    ISAIAH 40:3 -41:16 The prophet echoes the future voice of Yochanan the Baptizer; “Prepare the Way of YHVH” Isn’t it interesting that one of the titles of Mashiach is “The Way?” So, could we say that this verse, in a way, is saying; “Prepare to meet Yeshua, who is the WAY, and who is YHVH...

    Isaiah 54:1-55:5 and 1 Peter 3:18-22

    ISAIAH 54:1-55:5 The People of Yisrael are compared to the “sands of the sea,” the “dust of the earth,” and the “Stars of heaven” The prophet Yeshayahu in these verses is comforting Israel that they will be blessed, with descendants, even though at the time they might be going through...

    "Righteous Noah, are we like him?" (Genesis 6:22-11:32)

    GENESIS 6:9-11:32 "Noah HaTzadik" (The Righteous) "Noah's flood or God's Flood?" "Noah's Ark or God's Ark?" "God's Flood" because God sent the flood waters, not Noah. "God's Ark" (Yes, Noah built it, but God drew the construction plans) We all know the story of Noah and the flood which...

    Chapter 4 of Genesis "Cain vs Abel" = "Cain vs God" We see the birth of Kayin and Hevel (Cain and Abel) They were born with the sin nature, and we see in both boys, the direction of the world that would follow. Some would choose holiness and all that is good and others would choose the...

    In the beginning....God...(Genesis 1-2)

    GENESIS 1 "In the Beginning....God... There is so much to teach in the first three chapters, that it would take many pages of learning and teaching. So, perhaps we can go to the highlights. Touch on some important issues and facts about creation. "In the beginning, God created the Heavens and...

    highlights in chapters 21-25 of Deuteronomy

    Vs 8; Common sense tells us that when we build a roof, and it is the type of roof where one can go up and sit down and enjoy the coolness of the evenings, one must build a fence or a wall that surrounds the roof, to keep one from falling off in case one gets too close to the edge. The Torah can...

    Parashah: Ki Tetze” (when you go out) DEUT 21:10-25:19 There are many "highlights" in these chapters, many commandments that we can look at and perhaps relate them to situations in our modern day and time. In this Parashah we see a lot of common-sense mitzvoth that are for today, and we can...
