1 KINGS 1:1-31 This tells the sad story of a father who failed to discipline his sons, and old king David reaped the whirlwind, Adonijah (which means YHVH is my master) if it were so, He would have been in subjection to his father David, had the nerve to proclaim himself king, even before...

There is life after the departing of a loved one. The most difficult part of losing a loved one, especially a spouse, is if the spouse is an unbeliever, lost, without salvation. THEN we shall never see that spouse again, EVER! All the more reason to be “equally yoked” To lose a spouse in death...

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...

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...

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...

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 all...

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 in...

PARASHAH: “Lech Lecha” (go forth yourself) GENESIS 12:1-17:27 “Now YHVH said unto Abram: Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee” these are the opening words that YHVH speaks unto Abram. A Midrash interprets...

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

Another thing we can note about the ark is that was divided into three parts. The bottom deck (where probably all the heavier animals were kept) a middle deck and the top deck (where Noach and his family probably lived). The Tabernacle was also divided into three parts, the outer court, the...

PARASHAH; “Noach” (Gen 6:9-11:32) GENESIS 6:9-11:32 The Torah says; “Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generation, and Noah walked with Elohim” Noah was a “Tzadik” a righteous man. This is a powerful statement since, in his days, the whole populated earth was corrupt, yet...

PSALM 37:23,24 "The steps of a man are established by YHVH. And He delights in his way. When he falls he will not be hurled headlong, because YHVH is the One who holds his hand." This is just a small midrash. This Psalm is sung/chanted in Hebrew with a lovely melody. What is the LORD...

ISAIAH 42:5-43:10 The prophet speaks through the Spirit of YHVH saying: “I, YHVH, have called you in righteousness, and I take hold of your hand and guard you, and give you for a Brit (covenant) to a people, for a Light to the Gentiles, to open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the...

Many times, we just have to take God’s word literally. “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness…and Elohim created the man and the woman in His own image” (vs 26-27). What does this mean, in HIS own image? What is the IMAGE of ELOHIM? One could say that the image of Elohim is...

GENESIS 1:1-6:8 During Simchat Torah, we begin in Genesis…But…Some have the tradition of reading the last few verses of Deuteronomy, (34:10-12) “And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moshe……..and in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moshe shewed in...

SIMCHAT TORAH V’B’REISHEET (The Joy of the Torah/Bible) and "Genesis" The Feast of Tabernacles is the last of the “High Holy Days” which ends on the 8th day, on the 22nd of Tishrei. Why do we call it the "8th" day? Doesn't a week have 7 days? The "8th" day is a way of saying "A New Beginning"...

4 PILLARS AND 7 CONCEPTS UPON WHICH THE WORLD IS BUILT If we were to go and build a house, even before the “beginning” of the house, there are some concepts that we need to have in mind. The plans, the materials, the money to buy the materials, and who will live in said house. If we...

ZECHARIAH 14:16-19…..JOHN 7:37,38 ZECHARIAH 14:16-19 Zekaryah Ha Navi (Zechariah the Prophet) is seeing into the future, during the millennial reign of Yeshua HaMelech (Yeshua the King) who is now on earth and reigns over all nations. A reign of peace has now begun and all will rejoice in...

DEUTERONOMY 33: 1-34:11 Before we begin, I'd like to point out that we are still in the season of Sukkot, or the Festival of Tabernacles. Today, September 26th is the 6th day. I'd like to add one more point to the thread "Sukkot/Feast of Tabernacles in the nutshell". and that is...
