    Keep on trusting God, His plan for you will be revealed! (Gen 41:1-44:17)

    Amen, Jacob (Israel) was brought into Egypt by Joseph, along with 70 (I believe), these were the sons of Jacob and servants. From these 70 (plus more) maybe 3,000,000 came out of Egypt after 400 years. I think of my ancestry, which began in 1480 in Chalvington, UK. The Ellis family came to the...

    Keep on trusting God, His plan for you will be revealed! (Gen 41:1-44:17)

    Parashah: “Miketz” (at the end of) GENESIS 41:1-44:17 When we look into this parashah study, we see Yosef, who was, in a way of speaking, in the “pit” He was cast into the prison for something he did not do, yet he continued to trust YHVH for his needs. This reminds us of King David's...

    "Hanukkah" what is this festival about? (John 10:22)

    Perhaps we can see "discipline" as "punishment", yet God is merciful, and will turn from His wrath, and forgive His people. Yes indeed, we all need God's discipline, when we err. Thank you for your comment.

    Genesis 37:1-40:23 "Joseph, God's chosen vessel"

    The brothers stripped Yosef of his coat, the coat was dipped in goat's blood. Yeshua was stripped of his clothing, and was beaten, his flesh “ripped” by a Roman whip, until the blood poured out. The “goat's blood” reminds us of “Yom Kippur” where goats were sacrificed and one was “set free”...

    Name change: from "Jacob" to "Israel" but why? (Gen 32:3-36:43)

    Well, could we say "both" He wanted a blessing and we all want blessings, but we all want protection against our adversaries, and we can ask God to protect us, and at times, he uses ministering angels. Remember, there was an "encampment" of angels next to Jacob's camp

    Name change: from "Jacob" to "Israel" but why? (Gen 32:3-36:43)

    Israel now says something interesting; “Vayikra Ya’akov shem haMakom Peniel Ki ra’iti Elohim Panim Et Panim” (and Jacob called the name of that place “Peniel” (face of God) for I have seen Elohim “faces to faces”.What is interesting is that here, the word “face” is used in the singular and in...
