The season of Teshuva begins tonight at sundown, if the khodesh is seen. It is the season of repentance, in preparing for the Judgments of Yom Teru’ah [Rosh Hashanah] and Yom Kippur. This season also prepares one for the sanctity of those annual days. As we are indeed in the “Akharit HaYamim,” the Last Days, weContinue reading “Turn Around!”

Life’s Happy Door – Part 2
Many will not appreciate what I am about to write. But, there is encoded into the Hebrew scriptures multiple layers of interpretation. Many do not accept that, errantly thinking that everything the Jewish people believe is wrong. Yeshua told a young Jewish Rabbi, “You are not far from the Kingdom of Elohim,” when he hadContinue reading “Life’s Happy Door – Part 2”
F F F foolin’ yourself
It never ceases to amaze me how deceitful people are. But, I’m not talking about overt liars, but about people who lie to themselves, deceive themselves. I am starting to see that this is very close to the root of all sin and all conflict! Mind you, I came from a very similar background asContinue reading “F F F foolin’ yourself”
Life’s Happy Door – Part 1
“I will open a door for you that no man can shut.” The title is not going to appear to match the content of this article, but the NEXT article will complete the sequence, and you’ll understand why. The below is actually a post on fb that was presented as a memory today. And itContinue reading “Life’s Happy Door – Part 1”
My Rabbi is better than yours!
Our portion this week in the B’sorah [gospel] is Yokhanan 13. This begins the telling of the Pesakh Seder, the last one before Yeshua was executed. This morning, I am conveying something that I’ve always known, but that I saw more vividly this morning in reading. I’m wondering who else has had a “Selah” momentContinue reading “My Rabbi is better than yours!”
No! Chubby! I WON’T do the TWIST!
That dance is innocent, harming no one. So read on and find out what ‘twist’ I’m driving at. “Do you get what I’m driving at?” LOL. I love people; especially the people of our Messiah Yeshua, born into His Kingdom. Not all are Messianic, yet, but they all will be one day, as they wereContinue reading “No! Chubby! I WON’T do the TWIST!”
Day WHAT?
1 Cor 11 for HISTORICAL and CULTURAL Context: “When you gather together, therefore, you do not eat and drink as is appropriate on the day of Adoneinu. But some men eat their supper before others; and so it happens that one is hungry and another is drunk. Why? Have you not houses to eat andContinue reading “Day WHAT?”
The GREAT Command and the GREAT Commission
שְׁמַע, יִשְׂרָאֵל: יהוה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יהוה אֶחָד . וְאָהַבְתָּ אֵת יהוה אֱלֹהֶיךָ בְּכָל-לְבָבְךָ וּבְכָל-נַפְשְׁךָ וּבְכָל-מְאֹדֶךָ לְכוּ וַעֲשׂוּ אֶת כָּל הַגּוֹיִים לְתַלְמִידִים, וְהַטְבִּילוּ אוֹתָם בְּשֵׁם הָאָב וְהַבֵּן וְרוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ וְלַמְּדוּ אוֹתָם לִשְׁמֹר אֶת כָּל מַה שֶּׁצִּוִּיתִי אֶתְכֶם. וְהִנֵּה אֲנִי עִתָּכֶם כָּל הַיָּמִים, עַד לְקֵץ הָעוֹלָם These two scriptures are both foundational. They are D’varim 6:4-5, and Matti 28:19-20.Continue reading “The GREAT Command and the GREAT Commission”
The Raptor!
The Menociraptor in the pic was a surprise, and this post could also easily be about the ridiculousness of ‘evolution.’ But, alas, it is not. It is about the ever burning and hotly debated topic that most call “The Rapture.” The one verse that most people use to assert there is a rapture is inContinue reading “The Raptor!”
That Wascawy Wabbit!
Bugs Bunny was always funny; and poor Elmer Fudd could not get anything over on him. And sometimes, it seems that way in the realm of the Ru’akh [Spirit] in regard to those who are caught up in untruths. Messianic people always tend to focus on the Gentiles and their turning away from Torah, orContinue reading “That Wascawy Wabbit!”
