AMERICA’S WATCHFUL EYE
Proverbs 15:3: “The eyes of the Lord are everywhere, keeping watch on the wicked and the good”. This image is causes different reactions. I know what some people think and say about the “Iluminati” and the “dark side” and “deep state.” They do exist. Freemasonry played a significant role in the Washington Monument’s cornerstone ceremony […]
MARY WAS AN ACCOMPLICE (600th article)
It is said in 1 Samuel 13 that David was “a man after the Lord’s own heart.” In so many of David’s Psalms, he cried out to God. Imagine how much the Lord wanted to personally reveal himself to David. Pain of Separation The apostles believed they were in the presence of the Messiah. But they […]
WHY THE ROMANS?
With Passover and Ressurection Day (Easter) in less than two weeks, one might wonder about the timing of events in the Bible. Why did Jesus show up when he did? Why not when the Greeks or Babylonians ruled the world? The life of Yeshua retraces many of the Jewish holidays. But why did his ministry […]
“SEE YAH!”
Yah-El (יָהּ־אֵל) is a Hebrew poetic combination meaning “Yah is God.” In Hebrew, the hard ‘J’ is pronounced ‘Ya.” For example, the name Jacob in Hebrew is יַעֲקֹב (Ya’akov) and it begins with Ya. The Hebrew word for “salvation” or “deliverance” is yeshu’ah (יְשׁוּעָה). It is derived from the root word Yasha (יָשַׁע), meaning “to […]
Is Yeshua in the Tenach?
With Passover 13 days away and “Resurrection Day” (Easter) 8 days after that, I thought I’d write (think) about the connections between the two. The events these holidays retell happened at the same time approximately 1400 א׳ת years apart, and yet the scriptures suggest to me that they are only 3 days apart. Exodus 11:4-6 (NIV) — So […]
SANITY FROM A BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE
From a scriptural perspective, sanity is closely associated with having a sound mind. Conversely, a sense of disorder (chaos) and oppression come along with insanity. While the Bible does not explicitly use the term “sanity,” biblical principles emphasize that mental clarity and spiritual grounding are closely related. The scriptures tell us that wisdom and God’s […]
TEARS
1 Samuel 1:10-11 — In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, “Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all […]
TAV — 22
This post marks the completion of my effort to write about all 22 Hebrew letters. Tav (ת) is the 22nd and final letter of the Hebrew aleph-bet. Tav has a “t” sound. We get our English “T” from the Tav. (Among Ashkenazim the Tav has a “S” sound as well.) The number 22, Tav, has special meaning […]
KAF – 20.
The Hebrew letter Kaf (כ) is the 11th letter of the Hebrew alphabet, with a numerical value of 20. Kaf is the Sound: “K” and “KH.” Kaf has two forms: the standard form (כ) and the final form (ך), used at the end of words. There are five letters in the Hebrew alphabet that have two […]
THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME
Psalm 80:17-19 — Let your hand rest on the man at your right hand, the son of man you have raised up for yourself. Then we will not turn away from you; revive us, and we will call on your name. Restore us, Lord God Almighty; make your face shine on us, that we may […]
