All About the New Covenant First of all, according to Jeremiah 31:31, the New Covenant was established with the House of Israel and the House of Judah as one People. And the only thing new about it was the method by which Israel would know the Lord. Since the beginning as soon as Moses...

Why Elohim if God is Absolutely One? Christians in general misunderstand the word Elohim when using it as an evidence for plurality in God. Trinity, that is. As time can be considered chronologically, and also psychologically, a word can also be looked at grammatically in terms of plurality of...

And the Waters Parted Five Times 1 - The first time was in Egypt (Exodus 14:21-25) when the waters of the Sea of Reeds split and the Israelites crossed it on dry ground. When I think of this and 430 years in Egypt building dams up and down the Nile River, the Israelites had become real experts...

Let There Be Light and There Was Light "The Lord said, 'Let there be light and there was light.'" If we read about the Essenes Theology, the world is divided between the children of light and the children of darkness. First, there was darkness and the Lord said, "Let there be light, and there...

Mitzvah to Cure on the Sabbath And the woman conceived and bore a son at the same season the following year that Elisha had assured her she would. The child grew up and one day, a very hot day, he went out to his father among the reapers and suddenly he cried to his father; Oh my head! My...

The Serpent in the Wilderness Numbers 21:9 (JPS) "Then Moses made a copper serpent and mounted it on a standard; and when any one was bitten by a serpent, he would look at the copper serpent and recover." Christians love to read this text and to find in it a reference to Jesus. Christian...

A Word About the Nephilim I have an either-or response to the text about the Nephilim. First, when Ezra, the most famous Scribe in the History of Israel organized the Tanach into the Canon when still in Babylon, he found, for some reason useful to add the text about the Nephilim in Genesis 6...

MY VIEWS ABOUT JESUS For more than several times, I have been asked to post a thread on my views about Jesus. Well, here then is how I view Jesus: A religious Jew born with the mission to bring his People into a spiritual revival. Jesus' awakening reform is reflected in Matthew 5:17-19...

Dreams and visions. They are very closely related. "And our old men will have dreams; and our young will have visions." (Joel 2:28) But these are dreams and visions in the metaphorical meaning of ideals and intellectual development. Normal dreams occur when we are deeply sleeping. And...

The Christian Greek Horse of Isaiah 9:6 Here is a prophecy that has made many a Jew come to their knees, as they allow the Greek Horse into their abode supposing it to be a gift of God as the last and irrefutable word. Deep inside of one is the key for the truth deep inside of the other. But...

A Messianic Jewish Perspective Not all Messianic Jewish perspectives are the same. Here is my Messianic Jewish perspective: According to Prophet Habakkuk 3:13, "The Lord goes forth to save His People; to save His Anointed One." That's what Messiah is, the Anointed One of the Lord aka Israel...

The Pauline Paradox When Paul started preaching about Jesus as the Messiah and son of God, he never realized that he had created a huge paradox. You see, for Jesus to be the Messiah, he had to be a biological son of Joseph's, who was the one from the Tribe of Judah, whose Tribe the Messiah...

AND THE SUN STOOD STILL It is amazing to see how religious Scholars from almost all quarters of religious life struggle so hard to prove that a day is missing in the history of the universe which can be explained only by the "miracle" that the sun stood still so that the Israelites could win a...

The Burning Bush Indeed the angel of the Lord did appear unto Moses in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush but... in a dream... or was it a vision? Either way, Moses was tending the flocks of his father-in-Law Jethro, the Medianite in the desert and time had come to take the sheep to the...

WOMAN, BEHOLD THY SON! John 19:25-27. There stood by the cross of Jesus Mary his mother and Mary Magdalene his wife also known as the disciple whom Jesus loved. Then addressing first to his mother he said: "Woman, behold thy son!" As in, look at the condition he has come to! I am so sorry to...

Hit and Caught Before Running Last week I met in the street with a couple from the Christian faction of "Jehovah's Witnesses" who, after giving me a pamphlet from the Watch Tower, the following dialogue took place: "J'W" - Do you know that the Jewish Divine election has been replaced by the...

The Wedding of Jesus No, please, hold unto the stones, and no throwing until you hear what I have to say. Besides, that's not my final word. I am still researching the matter. That's a partial submission for some second thoughts on the matter. Jesus was a Rabbi and here are the proofs: Matthew...

Two Kinds of Salvation. 1. Personal salvation and; 2. Universal salvation. Only universal salvation is free; personal salvation is as expensive as the kind of transgression committed against the Law. Universal salvation is the one promised to Noah through the Noahide Covenant which the...
