THREE TABERNACLES? OR THREE IN ONE? (Pikudei: Exodus 38:21-40:38) "accountings of" The Tabernacle is finished, and the congregation brings the finished product to Moshe for inspection. Giving an account of one's work, contribution, offerings, tithes, etc is very Biblical. The LORD expects...

Parashah: “T'rumah” (offering) EXODUS 25:1-27:19 In this Bible 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 which...

JEREMIAH 34:8-22, 33:25-26 Jeremiah is known as the “weeping prophet” because Israel had returned to idolatry, and corruption, YHVH sends him with a message to Israel, “Repent” and “turn from your sins”, one of the sins was to go back on their word. Jeremiah told them that God had said...

PARASHA: “Mishpatim” (Judgments) We can ask ourselves; "What constitutes a nation?" Well, we could very well say: "The People, professions, religion, and the legal/governmental systems. "The People" (families) "Professions" (how the people make their living) "Religion" (how does faith...

ISAIAH 6:1-7:6 ” KADOSH, KADOSH, KADOSH, ADONAI TZEVA’OT” .... Holy, Holy, Holy, is the LORD(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...

PARASHA: “Yitro” (Jethro) EXODUS 18:1-20:26 We see in this Torah study, a lot of wisdom on the part of Moshe and Yitro, his father-in-law. First, we learn that Moshe had sent his wife and children back to stay with their father. I believe for safe-keeping, when one sees danger, it is wise to...

JUDGES 4:4-5:31 In this reading, we read about Devorah and Jael, two women of God who played an important role in Israel's history. We read about many “men of God” but very few “women of God” but they are out there, and today, we have many women who are used mightily by God in ministry...

JEREMIAH 46:13-28 600 years later, after the fall of Egypt at Passover, disaster strikes, this time, YHVH uses Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon as the instrument of destruction against Egypt, seems like Egypt was not humbled after the Passover experience. You would think that the pharaohs who...

PARASHA: “BO” (enter) EXODUS 10:1-13:16 The Parasha starts out; “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...

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...
