    JUDGES 13:2-25 The story of Shimshon (Samson) starts here, full of promise, but Samson chooses the flesh and not the spirit. He was a Nazarite who broke all the Nazarite vows and, in the end, lost his sight and his physical strength, yet, Adonai still used him to take vengeance upon the...

    A look at Hosea 2:1-22 and Luke 11-12

    HOSEA 2:1-22 We can see something very interesting in the name “Hoshea” Yehoshua, Son of Nun, was called “Hoshea” before his name was changed to “Yehoshua” but it is the same root word “The One who makes Salvation” In the opening verse; “The Word of YHVH that came unto Hoshea, son of Beeri…”...

    We are all NUMBERED for God's divine purposes: (Numbers 1:1-4:20)

    PARASHA: “B’Midbar” (in the wilderness) NUMBERS 1:1-4:20 We start the new Torah Sefer called “Numbers” in English because it talks about “numbering” the tribes of Israel. We wonder why the reason for “numbering the people?” for this reason, we need to go back to the beginning to see...

    Parasha: B'Har (On the Mountain) LEVITICUS 25:1-26:2 “Give it a rest! Will ya?” I am sure you have heard that expression before, or “Give it a rest already!” People tend to say that when one continues in some theme or argues over a point that is "pointless", HOWEVER, God is saying...
