    A look at Malachi 1:1-2:7 and Matt 10:1-11:30

    MAL 1:1-2:7 The prophet speaks and writes through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) “Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated”. You ask, “Isn't God love?” isn't God all about love? Why does he “hate poor Esau?” The word “hate” has the same meaning as “reject”. YHVH who is “all-knowing” knew...

    Genesis 23-25 "Sarah Lives!" (the memory of a loved spouse)

    There is life after the departure of a loved one. The most difficult part of losing a loved one, especially a spouse, is if the spouse is an unbeliever, lost, without salvation. THEN we shall never see that spouse again, EVER! All the more reason to be “equally yoked” To lose a spouse in death...

    A look at 2 Kings 4:1-37 and Matt 6:1-7:29

    2 KINGS 4:1-37 Here, Elisha Ha Navi (the Prophet) ministers to a Shunamite woman, as some prophets had a public ministry, Elisha had more of a private ministry, ministering to individuals more than to the general public as a whole. Yeshua did both, he ministered to the sick, the hurting...

    PARASHAH VaYERA” (and he appeared) GENESIS 18:1-22:24…… YHVH appears to Abraham at his tent, yet it also says that “three” men appeared to him. He addresses them as LORD (YHVH), how is that? One can only wonder. Could one of them be YHVH incarnate and the other two ministering angels? Could...

    A look at Isaiah 40:3-41:16 and Romans 4:1-25

    ISAIAH 40:3 -41:16 The prophet echoes the future voice of Yochanan the Baptizer; “Prepare the Way of YHVH” Isn’t it interesting that one of the titles of Mashiach is “The Way?” So, could we say that this verse, in a way, is saying; “Prepare to meet Yeshua, who is the WAY, and who is YHVH...

    2 Timothy 3:16 "The Value of God's Perfect WORD"

    Let me put it this way. We are not "perfect" yet we are "becoming perfect" and when we are with the LORD, we WILL BE. But God looks at us as already "perfect" through the sacrifice of Yeshua. In Hebrew, the word "Kadosh" means "holy" yet when referring to us, the "o" is missing in the Hebrew...
