    WHO is Jacob's Ladder? (Gen 28:10-32:2)

    Parashah: “VaYetze” (and he went out) Genesis 28:10-32:2 In this study, we see that Jacob is on his way to Haran to find himself a wife (or two). He is tired after a long day's journey, He stops to rest outside of a city called “Luz” (In Spanish “Light”) and scripture says that he settles...

    The sacred name YHVH and the speed of light

    It is very interesting to see how the sacred name of God YHVH leads us to the speed of light. When we look at Hebrew gematria, where a number is assigned to each Hebrew letter, we can take the name YHVH (from where the Latin derives "Jehovah" we see that Y = 10, H =5, V = 6, and H = 5. The...

    looking at Malachi 1:1-27 and Matt 10:1-11:30

    MALACHI 1:1-2:7 The prophet speaks and writes through the Ruach HaKodesh (Holy Spirit) “Jacob have I loved, but Esau I have hated”. but 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”...

    You can be like Jacob or like Esau, YOUR choice (Gen 25-28)

    GENESIS 25:19-28:9 This study starts out with the generations of Abraham and Sarah. After years of waiting and praying they finally had Yitzchak. The legacy continues, the promise of YHVH is revealed once more, but not without testing of faith. Yitzchak and Riv'kah also have to wait, about 20...

    a quick look at 1 Kings 1:1-31 and Matt 8:1-9:18

    1 KINGS 1:1-31 This tells the sad story of a father who failed to discipline his sons, and old king David reaped the whirlwind, Adonijah (which means YHVH is my master) if it were so, He would have been in subjection to his father David, had the nerve to proclaim himself king, even before...

    Righteous Sarah lives! (Gen 23: 1-25:18)

    PARASHAH: “Chayei Sarah” (Sarah lives) GENESIS 23:1-25:18 The title of the Parashah is “Sarah lives” or “Sarah lived”. Yet Sarah is dead, so, how does she live? She lives on in the memory of Abraham, her legacy lives on, her influence lives on, and this is what the patriarch wants for Isaac...

    On 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...

    On welcoming angels; Gen 18:1-22:24

    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 all...

    looking into Isaiah 40:3-41:16 and Matt 5:1-48

    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 in...

    The Call of Abraham, our calling too, how will we respond? (Gen 12-17)

    PARASHAH: “Lech Lecha” (go forth yourself) GENESIS 12:1-17:27 “Now YHVH said unto Abram: Get thee out of thy country and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee” these are the opening words that YHVH speaks unto Abram. A Midrash...

    Noah, a rightous man who walked with Elohim

    PARASHAH; “Noach” (Genesis 6:9-11:32) The Torah says; “Noah was a righteous man, perfect in his generation, and Noah walked with Elohim” Noah was a “Tzadik” a righteous man. This is a powerful statement since, in his days, the whole populated earth was corrupt, yet he and his...

    Psalm 37:23,24

    That's great, I welcome all discussions. Like the rabbis of old in the Yeshivas, a lot of pounding of the tables and raised voices, all were discussing Torah.

    The Joy of the Bible! Let's Rejoice in it!

    SIMCHAT TORAH V’B’REISHEET (The Joy of the Torah/Bible) and "Genesis" The Feast of Tabernacles is the last of the “High Holy Days” which ends on the 8th day, on the 22nd of Tishrei.
