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...

SUKKOT or THE FEAST OF TABERNACLES, IN A NUTSHELL REF: LEVITICUS 23:34, DEUT 16:13 The Feast of Tabernacles or “Sukkot” as it is also referred to is the third of the High Holy Days which is part of the “Days of Awe.” These are the days of soul-searching, reflection, and asking...

RUN-AWAY CHICKENS This was a time of yesteryear, a memory in my mind, a time of visiting some friends, a lesson to be learned, and now a tale to be told. This probably happened in the middle 1960s, I was probably around 8 or 10 years old at that time. My parents and I drove up...

2 SAM 22:1-51 YHVH is my ROCK (Tzuri) and my fortress, and my deliverer; “Elohei Tzuri” (My God) in who I will take refuge. My shield and horn of YESHUATI. (2 Sam) The Spirit of God is speaking, again, using the name ROCK and ELOHEI TZURI, (the God who leads who is my righteousness) We...

Using ancient Hebrew symbolism, we might understand those three letters together as; “The instruction is that God (aleph) received the nail (vav). His children were corrupt. Israel became corrupt when following false gods later on, as Moshe predicated and foresaw. We are also corrupt with our...

HaAzinu” (give ear) (Deuteronomy 32:1-52) Before going into this study, I would like to go back to chapter 30:15; “See, I have set before you this day life and good, death and evil in that I command you this day to love YHVH thy God to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments…” It is very...

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT, IN A NUTSHELL SCRIPTURE REFERENCE: LEVITICUS 16 In this short commentary, I would like to look at the “Day of Atonement” the “Day of Redemption” in the Hebrew, “Yom Kippur” or “Yom HaKippurim” (The day of the coverings). This...

“VaYelech” (and he went) DEUT 31:1-30 Just a few important points over this short study. A few more points to add to the previous study where we combined “Nitsavim and VaYelech”. “I am 120 years old today” starts Moshe, “I can no more go out and come in…” It is interesting that...

ISAIAH 55:6-56:8 “Seek YHVH while he may be found, call upon him while he is near” But we ask ourselves, is there a time when he can NOT be found? Or when he is NOT near? One answer would be “at the time of death” if a person has not reconciled himself or herself with God through Yeshua, if a...

ISAIAH 61:10-63:9 The prophet Yeshayahu sees the future glory of Israel, “He has clothed me in garments of YESHUAH (salvation) and has wrapped me with a robe of “righteousness” (Tzedek). It is fitting that the two go together, when we accept Yeshua as our LORD and Savior, we receive...

ISAIAH 60:1-22 Israel can rejoice, for the OR ISRAEL has come, the LIGHT of ISRAEL, will attract all the nations. Isaiah gets a glimpse of the future of Israel, perhaps the millennium Israel, when YESHUA is on the throne, what a time that will be. Jerusalem will be the capital of the...

But let us also remember that “Salvation” is a separate issue, “salvation” is a done deal when we accept Yeshua as Messiah and LORD in our lives. Through our salvation experience, we should be led by the Holy Spirit to love and obey the teaching that is within God’s Holy Writ, and not that we...

"Ki Tavo" (When you enter in ) DEUT 26:1-29:9 We are coming to the end of Moshe’s earthly ministry, and he reiterates again, the importance of following and obeying the Torah of Elohim. “Am Israel” is still in the desert wilderness, but it isn’t like the desert that we find today in the middle...

Vs 5; “A woman must not put on a man’s apparel, not a man, woman’s clothing” In Biblical times, clothing was generally the same; long, flowing tunics tied with a cloth or leather belt or sash and on the feet, sandals. There was, however, a difference between men’s and women’s tunics, perhaps in...

Vs 18 talks about the “wayward son” in that, if he is rebellious and defiant, refusing correction, his parents have the right to take him to the “shoftim” (judges) and they would order him to be stoned. Rebellion had a death sentence connected to it. We never read in scripture that this actually...

DEUT 21:10-25:19 In this study, we see a lot of common-sense mitzvoth that are for today, and we can also see some mitzvoth that we need to take a good look at to see how we can apply them, perhaps not so much literally, but spiritually and morally. In some cases, both. According to some...

Why? Why did our Heavenly Father give mankind a second chance? even after the flood? Because: HE LOVED US SO

ISAIAH 54:1-10 “Shout O Barren one, you who bore no child, shout aloud for joy…” We ask when does a barren woman shout for joy because she cannot have children? I would guess that it depends on the circumstances. This reminds us of Sarah, who was barren, yet she did not give up hope...

If we attempt to change a biblical landmark, we are “taking away” from the Word of God, we are headed for trouble. Dad told Jimmy, “Ten feet away from the wasp nest is the landmark, don’t go beyond it!” but Jimmy went beyond it, he got closer, the wasps didn’t like that, and a wasp flew over...

PARASHAH: “Shoftim” (judges) DEUT: 16:18: -21:9……… ISAIAH 51:12-52:12…… JOHN 1:1-57 This parashah starts off with; “Judges (shoftim) and officers shalt thou make thee at thy gates, which YHVH thy Elohim giveth thee…. they shall judge the people with “righteous judgment…” Many people...
