HOSEA 2:1-22 We can see something very interesting in the name “Hoshea” Yehoshua, Son of Nun, was called “Hoshea” before his name was changed to “Yehoshua” but it is the same root word “The One who makes Salvation” In the opening verse; “The Word of YHVH that came unto Hoshea, son of Beeri…”...

PARASHA: “B’Midbar” (in the wilderness) NUMBERS 1:1-4:20………HOSEAS 2:1-22……. LUKE 11:1-12:59 We start the new Torah Sefer called “Numbers” in English because it talks about “numbering” the tribes of Israel. We wonder why the reason of “numbering the people?” for this reason, we need to go back...

LUKE 7:1-8:56 We read about the miracles of Yeshua, Even the faith of a Roman Army officer whose servant was sick unto death, and the servant was healed. What is required of receiving a miracle? Faith! Not blind faith, but faith in the healing powers of Adonai, The Roman believed being far...

The Feast of Trumpets, “Yom Teruah” symbolizes the start of the “days of Awe” when we reflect on our own relationship with Adonai. How do we measure up to God’s standards? Lacking? Fall short? I would say YES. 10 days later, comes “Yom Kippur” the day of “covering” or “Atonement” which was when...

PARASHAH: “Emor” (say.) LEVITICUS 21:1-24:23……… EZEKIEL 44:15-31…… LUKE 5:1-6:49 In this parashah study, we see more details on the sanctity, Holiness, and comportment of priests. When we read in chapter 21, we read that YHVH is very particular and pays much attention to the physical. We might...

PARASHOT: “Achrei Mot” (after the death) and “Kedoshim” (holy ones) LEVITICUS 16:1-20:27 ; Amos 9:7-15; Luke 2:1-52 QUESTION: Can we approach God in any way? What kind of HOLINESS do we need to get near to God. There is a saying; The closer one gets to the Throne of God, the hotter it gets...

Our Messiah accepted and brought upon himself all of our “leprosy” of sinfulness, which affects not only our exterior but also our inner being. He was nailed to the cross “outside” of the city, just as one afflicted with leprosy was cast outside of the city. Then he was made whole once again...

“Do you love me…more than THESE?” John 21: 15 I’d like to continue with this midrash, from the previous article "Feed my lambs...Feed my sheep," but just to concentrate on Yeshua’s statement; “Do you love me more than these?” We understand that the “sheep” and the “lambs” are...

Thanks for your comments, they are appreciated. Yes, I believe Peter was restored, as all of us are restored when we return to HIM after doing crazy thngs.

FEED MY LAMBS……FEED MY SHEEP! A LOOK AT JOHN 21:15-17 Before we look at these verses, we need to understand the background and the prior events. Yeshua had been crucified and now, resurrected. This was the third time He appeared to his Talmidim (disciples) after leaving the Garden...

2 SAMUEL 6:1-7:17 We see another case of “good intentions” which ended up bad. The Aron Ha Kodesh (Ark of the Covenant) had been in the hands of the Philistines for some time, YHVH cursed them and caused them to return it to Israel. David received it with glory and honor, HOWEVER, He did...

Why is “Good Friday” called “Good?” That’s a good question. Why is “Good Friday” called “good?’ Or… What’s so “good” about “Good Friday? Others might think; “Why don’t we call it “bad” Friday, or “Sad” Friday? After all, Messiah Yeshua was nailed to the cross. That was a sad event. But let’s...

PARASHAH: “Tzav” (command) LEVITICUS 6:8-8:36………. JEREMIAH 7:21-8:3………MARK 13:1-37 Last week we studied Parasha “Vayikra” (and he called) and this week, we read Parasha “Tzav” (command). We are studying the same offerings, yet the titles are different. One is “Called” and this study...

MESSIAH YESHUA IN THE PASSOVER; From EXODUS 12:1-13 Vs 2; “THIS MONTH SHALL BE THE BEGINNING OF MONTHS, IT SHALL BE THE FIRST MONTH OF THE YEAR TO YOU” So where does January 1st fit in? It doesn’t! This was an...

ISAIAH 43:21-44:23 YHVH speaks through the Prophet Yeshayahu and is complaining that Israel has forgotten about God, they no longer bring sacrifices but are engrossed in sin, He explains that craftsmen will use their skill to make idols, that have no value, what a waste of craftsmanship...
