    1 Kings 5:12-6:13 and Mark 3:1-4:41 "Come back to God ye wayward saint!"

    1 KINGS 5:12-6:13 The Tabernacle was used for many years after the Israelites left Egypt. It followed “the Children of Israel” when they crossed over the Jordan, but 480 years later, it was replaced by the First Temple, built by King Solomon. It must have been magnificent. The Ark of...

    Free-will offerings! Time, Talent, and Treasure (Exodus 25-27)

    We ask ourselves, what kind of “T’rumot” (offerings) can we “offer up” today? Gold, silver, and bronze? Yes, that would be money, from our paychecks, tithes, and offerings. Fine linen, blue, purple, and scarlet threads? Yes, that would be clothing. Some ministries collect used and new...

    Free-will offerings! Time, Talent, and Treasure (Exodus 25-27)

    “T'rumah” (offering) EXODUS 25:1-27:19 In this study, we see that a request is made for a “free-will offering” so that the Tabernacle can be built and its furnishings. As we remember, when the Israelites left Egypt, they took quite a treasure that the Egyptians gave them so they would...

    Jeremiah 34:8-22, 33:25-26 and Mark 1:1-2:28

    JEREMIAH 34:8-22, 33:25-26 Jeremiah is known as the “weeping prophet” because Israel had returned to idolatry and corruption. YHVH sends him with a message to Israel, “Repent” and “turn from your sins”, one of the sins was to go back on their word. Jeremiah told them that God had said...

    Can we benefit from God's "Legal system" (jurisprudence) today? Ref: Exodus 21:1-24:18

    PARASHA: “Mishpatim” (Judgments) “God's Jurisprudence for His chosen people.” It is very interesting how this Torah/Bible study portion begins in the original Hebrew language: "V'eileh ha mishpatim." "AND these are the judgments, or rulings..." When a verse begins with "and" (the...

    (Exodus 20) A look at the 10 Commandments

    Yet we see today, even though we don't make or bow down to silver, gold, wooden statues that symbolize who God is, or TRY to symbolize who he is, sorry guys, they didn't have cameras back then to take pictures, many bow down and consider more important things like; football, soccer, money, sex...

    (Exodus 20) A look at the 10 Commandments

    PARASHA: “Yitro” (Jethro) EXODUS 18:1-20:26 We see in this parashah a lot of wisdom on the part of Moshe and Yitro, his father-in-law. First, we learn that Moshe had sent his wife and children back to stay with their father and grandfather. I believe that, for safekeeping, when one...

    Judges 4:4-5:31 and Matt 26:1-75

    Well, of course, Judas could have repented at the last minute, then, why would he have committed suicide? We never know what goes inside a person's mind and heart at the time of death; only God knows. All we know is the fact that he went out and hung himself.

    Judges 4:4-5:31 and Matt 26:1-75

    JUDGES 4:4-5:31 In this reading, we learn about Devorah and Jael, two women of God who played important roles in Israel's history. We read about many “men of God” but very few “women of God,” but they are out there, and today, we have many women who are used mightily by God in ministry...

    When they were finally let go! (Exodus 13-17)

    Thank you for your comments. Yes, weapons washed ashore, like the swords strapped to the bodies of the Egyptians, the bows and arrows, spears probably sunk, (iron or copper spear heads) weigh more than the wooden shafts

    When they were finally let go! (Exodus 13-17)

    In gematria (a Hebraic way using numbers to bring light to different words), “Yeshuat” adds up to 786. Reading from right to left, one way to understand the message of this sum of numbers is: “MAN (6) achieves ETERNAL life (8)(a new beginning) through the PERFECT God who is Yeshua, who is part...

    When they were finally let go! (Exodus 13-17)

    PARASHAH: “B'shalach” (when he let go) EXODUS 13:17-17:16.... We are coming down to the “show down” where Pharaoh gets his just desserts, and gets what he deserves for defying the God of Israel, going back on his word to “let Israel go”, you cannot pursue Israel without getting hurt, and...

    Exodus 10:1-13:16 "The First Passover initiated."

    After the 10 plagues, God's promises were fulfilled. The redemption was fulfilled when the lambs and goats were slaughtered and sacrificed in the Israelite homes on the Eve of Passover. They would be freed from Egyptian slavery, they would be "walked" out of Egypt, they would come to Mt...

    Exodus 10:1-13:16 "The First Passover initiated."

    Exodus 10:1-13:16: “And the LORD said unto Moshe, ‘Go in unto Pharaoh’…” Strange, the word “Go” in Hebrew is “Sh’lach”, but the Hebrew scriptures read “Bo” (enter) so, in reality, the Word of God is saying, “Enter, or Come in unto Pharaoh” But why? One way of looking at this is that...

    Are we just giving "lip service" to God? Exodus 10:1-13:16

    ” This month shall be your beginning of months for you, it shall be the first month of the year for you.” This can't be any clearer in my observation; it isn't January 1st, it is the first of Nissan, and since the lunar calendar changes from year to year, our “New Year's Day” (the real...

    Are we just giving "lip service" to God? Exodus 10:1-13:16

    PARASHA: “BO” (enter) EXODUS 10:1-13:16 The Parasha starts out, “And the LORD said unto Moshe, ‘Go in unto Pharaoh’…” Strange, the word “Go” in Hebrew is “Sh’lach”, but the Hebrew scriptures read “Bo” (enter), so, in reality, the Word of God is saying, “Enter, or Come in unto Pharaoh”...

    A look at Ezekiel 28:25-29:21 and Matt 24:1-51

    EZEKIEL 28:25-29:21 The prophet speaks through the Holy Spirit and affirms that even though Israel has been scattered throughout the countries of the world, they will be returned to their land in the future. It is already happening; Israel was recognized as a nation in 1948, and since...

    Exodus 6:2-9:35 "God's promises to HIS people, His promises for us too"

    It could be that Abraham knew YHVH (his name), but the nature of YHVH of fulfilling his promises was not completed until the time of Moses, With Moses, the promised people/nation was ready, in Abraham, it had just started. (just an idea)
