HOSEA 12:13-14:9 The prophet condemns Israel for “forsaking the LORD.” Israel was led out of Egypt by the prophet Moses (Moshe) and tended to, provided for by YHVH, yet Israel forsook the LORD, chasing after false gods, going into idolatry. Now the LORD will punish, and his wrath will fall upon...

GENESIS 28:10-22 and John 1:51 In this parashah study, we see that Jacob is on his way to Haran to find himself a wife (or two). He is tired after a long day's journey. He stops to rest outside of a city called “Luz” (almond trees), and scripture says that he settles down for the night and...

MAL 1:1-2:7 The prophet speaks and writes through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit), “Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated”. You ask, “Isn't God love?” Isn't God all about love? Why does he “hate poor Esau?” The word “hate” has the same meaning as “reject”. YHVH, who is “all knowing,” knew...

PARASHAH: TOLDOT (generations) GEN 25:19-28:9 This study starts out with the generations of Abraham and Sarah. After years of waiting and praying, they finally had Yitzchak. The legacy continues, the promise of YHVH is revealed once more, but not without testing of faith. Yitzchak and Riv'kah...

I guess we can complain, or praise God and thank God for all things. In some places, things can be worse. Complaining won't change things. We all have things to be thankful for. Well, here, at least I don't have to worry about stepping on a Funnel Web spider, nor swimming near box jellyfish...

Here's an idea for this coming Thursday's Thanksgiving time. You're around the table, either for lunch or dinner. Your guests are there, and who knows what they will want to talk about. But YOU are the host. You get to pick the "table topic." When everyone has had their share of roast turkey...

Yes, be thankful for ALL things

Yeah, that is what it seems to be, we need to combine everything together

THE RABBI’S THANKSGIVING INVITATION (A Short Tale for the Season) Rabbi Jacob Groshen left his humble house on West 3rd Street. He had accepted a Thanksgiving dinner invitation from the Smith family just a few streets up. He had never met the Smiths, but old pastor Williams from First...

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...

FROM DRY BONES TO FILLED LUNGS (Lesson 10 of 16) A look at 1 Corinthians 9:19-20 and Acts 21:17-28 Paul showed zeal towards his Jewish people and also to the Gentiles. He met and ministered to his own people on THEIR level of understanding. When we minister to people, we must minister on a...

PARASHAH: “Chayei Sarah” (Sarah lives) GENESIS 23:1-25:18 The title of the Parashah or Torah portion 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...

HAVING A WING-NUT SNACK (a memory from long ago) Well, this was probably in 1955 or 1956, when I was 1 or 2 years of age. There I was on the front lawn of our house in Elmhurst, N.Y. I mean, Mom was probably in the kitchen or someplace else in the house. She put me out there to enjoy the sun...

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...

Thank you for your comments and reading support. Messiah Yeshua in the Old Testament, Yes, a possibility

One thing we remember from Parashah “Noach”, the Torah says that “Noah was righteous in HIS generation.” Does that mean that if he were living in the time of Abraham, he might not have been considered so righteous? If yes, why? Did Noah plead for the lost world before the flood? Did he ask YHVH...

“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? We might see a...
