Time of Reckoning Has Come
This is year 5988 from Creation, according to the reckoning of time of this ministry. May we merit seeing the coming of our Mashiach speedily in our days!
Israel is at War: “Swords of Iron”.
Iron sharpens iron. (Pro 27:17)
“Crises make people choose. When people choose, they take sides. When they take sides, they set themselves apart for doing their will. God sets everyone in a situation to make a choice. It is Time of Division. Time of Reckoning”. (Navah on Deu 30:19)

Genesis as a Narrative Related by the Angel of the Presence
In the beginning. Could Mosheh have known what the Beginning was, if not from a direct witness of the colossal event?
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 5 December 2023: How could Mosheh have known what had taken place from the Creation of the world to the end of the Book Genesis?” The creation of the heavens and the earth, the stars and everything visible and invisible in the universe, was a colossal event no man has ever witnessed. The story of Adam and Chavah who sinned by accessing the knowledge of good and evil, the Flood and all detailed description of the ark, the Tower of Bavel: all of this would have been unknown to Mosheh without revelation from heaven by someone who had recounted all these stories for Mosheh. Without this revelation from heaven, we would not have known these events either. Read more.
Rachel—The Protective Mother of the Covenant Nation
Rachel and Leah. The matriarchs who built up a nation.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 27 November 2023: Rachel and Leah engaged in a difficult contest for the heart of their husband Ya’akov and for the position of first wife in the family. In the article Leah—The Mother of the Covenant Nation, we present to the reader the story of rivalry between the sisters from Leah’s point of view. The story of wife who felt unloved and unwanted. It would be therefore advantageous for the reader to study what we have said in that article. In the following continuation of the foresaid article, however, we will present the same story from Rachel’s perspectives and how she might have felt in her constant struggle to bear children to his beloved husband Ya’akov. We will try to show that the question of rivalry between Rachel and Leah is far from being easy to solve, and this being the case we leave the question open on which side the priority lies. We now turn again to the contest between the matriarchs, who built up a nation, as we would like to posit another way to look at their story, specifically in reference to their reconciliation.

The Solar and Lunar Eclipses as Forerunners of Judgement
A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon completely covers the sun’s disk. Solar protuberance or prominence can be seen around the moon’s black disc.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 22 November 2023: The ancient sages of Israel are all in agreement that the gloom of the heavenly luminaries (today known as solar and lunar eclipses) is a depiction of great wars and plagues with which Gog and his land Magog will be judged at the time of the coming of the day of the Lord. What is to come, the wonders in heaven and blood on earth, fire and smoke in the sky, these all will be an example of the plague that will fall upon Gog for he and his cohorts of nations has dared to come up against Jerusalem. However, it all began six thousand years ago with the creation of the sun and the moon. Read more.
Babylon and Edom We Fight Then and Now
IDF soldiers fighting the new Babylon and Edom.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 7 November 2023: The Hamas terrorists are evil but not foolish. They knew that they would not have any chance of victory against the finest army in the world. Their goal was to inflict as many casualties among the civilians as they could in order to provoke a harsh reaction from Israel. After Israel will do so and start bombing the Hamas military infrastructure and assets, Hamas will use the abducted Israelis (women, children, and elderly) and even their own civilian population as a human shield, as they are doing it right now. The Hamas strategists then would hope that the public opinion led by the leftist in Israel and in the western “democracies” will turn against Israel who will be seen as the aggressor and the “Palestinians” as victims, as always. Why and what does this war have to do with the subject of our study? Read more.
Malki-tsedek Who Forfeited the Priesthood
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 7 November 2023: After the victorious war against the four kings, Avram returned with his men and the booty of war. Malki-tsedek king of Shalem and the priest of the Most High Elohim met Avram with bread and wine and blessed him. Avram’s soldiers took for themselves their portion of the booty, and the rest Avram returned to the king of Sodom except for the captives, whom Avram freed. Traditional Christian commentators offer the interpretation that Avram gave Malki-tsedek, the priest of the Most High a tenth of all booty of war. However, a question presents itself: What is the “all” that was given and who gave it to whom? Because by forfeiting his portion of the booty of war and returning what was left of it to the Sodomite, Avram had nothing left to tithe to Malki-tsedek. Can we rethink this? Read more.
It is a Time for War Against the Four Kingdoms
The descendants of the patriarch Avraham at war with the four kingdoms.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 30 October 2023: The reported death toll of the Hamas terrorist invasion is more than 1,400 Israelis. The Americans who died on 11 September 2001, at the World Trade Center were less than 3,000. The death of the Israelis is proportional to about 48,300 Americans. In this war of revenge against the sadistic Hamas (Chamas, Hebrew for “violence”), Israel has the goal of a total annihilation of the terrorism in Gaza and the liberation of the hundreds of hostages held by the terrorist: women, children, elderly, and captured IDF soldiers. Much has been and will be written about this genocide of killing of people on the basis of ethnicity and religion. But in this study, we would like to posit another way to look at this war, specifically in reference to Avraham’s war to rescue his nephew who was held hostage, for as the wiseman has said it very well to everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

A New Hamas that will Bring the End of the Second Humanity
Noach Ark in the universal flood. And all flesh had corrupted their way with perversions and violence (Hamas).
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 23 October 2023: As Adam became the ancestor of all human beings after Creation, so did Noach become the ancestor of mankind after the Flood. But before the world was reset for a new beginning, there was violence (Chamas or Hamas) on the earth. But Noach found grace in YHVH, because he was a righteous man, a man who walked with Elohim. The narrator of Genesis mentions these virtues of Noach in contrast to what it is said concerning Noach’s generation, namely, that all their (of the sons of Elohim and their corrupted offspring) wicked deeds brought grief before YHVH. With Noach, however, not only did the corruption of the flesh end but the mankind never again returned to it. After Noach humanity returned to the post-curse life of Adam and made a new beginning.

The Question A Troubled Prophet Asked: Why the Silence?

Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 15 October 2023: The Hamas war began on the Jewish holiday Simchat Torah (Rejoice of Torah) which fell on Shabbat, 7 October 2013, when the Hamas terrorists surprisingly crossed the security wall and invaded the Israeli territory. In ISIS-style, they started murdering unarmed civilians in the kibbutzim (collective farms). As of the time of this writing, the death toll of this act of genocide is more than 1,300 Israelis viciously murdered solely on the basis of being Jewish. More than 100 Israelis were taken hostages in Gaza. Among the 1,300 victims of the genocide were women, children, babies, elderly people, and IDF soldiers. Women and girls were raped and taken as hostages as a human shield against the IDF retaliation or for sex slavery. Babies were beheaded, whole families were slaughtered in their homes, others burned alive in their cars. Even animals do not do such things. Hamas committed war crimes and crimes against humanity. This raises the inevitable question: Why the violence? Read more.
Hell and Purgatory According to Tanach. What is on the Other Side?
Illustration of Dante’s Hell, by Antonio Manetti (1423–1497), The circles of Hell. Ironically, Dante’s comedy “Inferno” has become the main religious doctrine of hell.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 8 October 2023: Tanach rarely speaks of “heaven” (only in Gen 1:1) and “hell” (only on a few occasions which we will expound below), and whenever the Hebrew Scripture refers to them, it always mentions them “passing by” and never as a reward or as a threat respectively. Yet, good and evil are laid out for everyone to see. Tanach does not concern itself with the concepts of “heaven” and “hell”, for all the laws given by Mosheh in the Torah are primarily focused on our physical existence and life on earth, and not on going to heaven, as it is said in Eze 18:9, “if he walks in My laws, and he has guarded My ordinances in truth, he is righteous, he shall certainly live”.

“The Secret Things Belong to the Lord”
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 25 September 2023: “The secret things belong to the LORD” in Deuteronomy has been interpreted to mean that whatever secrets Elohim has, they are not given to us to know; and whatever we know and see is what has been revealed to us. However, a question presents itself: Is the Eternal One knowable? Read more.
How Old Earth the James Webb Space Telescope Saw

Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 21 September 2023: How old is the Earth, and what did the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) see? In the beginning, the Eternal One created the heavens and the earth. Before the beginning, there was nothing but Him. The Torah tells us nothing about the age of the universe, focusing almost entirely on the creation of the Earth and on the way the lives of the people who inhabit to be conducted. The Torah may not say how old the Earth is, but it says instead that the Creator made the universe and everything in it visible and invisible in six days. Science, however, claims that the Earth is billions of years old. While science appears convincing that the Earth is incredibly old, ironically, there is a scientific method that testifies to the opposite. Read more.
Hebrew Words: Hear and Guard
“The Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart to do it.” (Deu 30:11-14)
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 16 September 2023: It may come as a big surprise to many but even though the Torah of YHVH is full of laws, there is no Hebrew word that means “obey”. Instead, the Torah uses the word Hebrew shema. Another surprise is that nowhere in the Torah we are told to keep all laws. What do we mean by that? It is the object of this work of Hebrew study to explain the Hebrew words for “hear” and “guard”, as we will interpret their literal translations and meanings not distinctly explained by the traditional commentators. This work has also a second object: to expose certain misconceptions concerning these two words that still exist today. We will explain the reason for this in due course. Read more.
How Did We Get From “Do Not Muzzle an Ox” To …?
Threshing floor and oxen in the ancient world. Then and now, it seems unthinkable that someone can muzzle an ox.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 10 September 2023: A radical approach suggested by all Christian interpreters is that “Do not muzzle an ox while it is threshing” refers to the clergy staff in the churches. But those interpreters are giving the wording of the law a meaning that it does not have. We can understand their efforts to justify the collecting the tithes in the churches, but the situation is hardly parallel. The theologians have invented an issue in the Torah that does not exist. Besides, their interpretation may work in the Church but contradicts Deuteronomy. Nevertheless, their interpretation falls short on explaining why Mosheh does not mention man in this law, if that were his intention. This seems quite astounding that Mosheh must have failed to mention this detail. So, how did we indeed get from “Do not muzzle an ox while it is threshing” to “Give me your tithes”? This is how.

The Time When the First Sabbatical Year was Observed
Giving the Land a rest in the Sabbatical year.
Time of Reckoning Ministry (TORM) 3 September 2023: Considering the unique standing of the Sabbatical year in Torah, we will explain why the Land needed to be first conquered and inherited by Israel, and then the law of the land observed. This will be further explained in the following vein. We will explore the law of the Sabbatical year in the context of the story of the greatest leaders of Israel: Mosheh and Yehoshua. That said, hereafter we will address the law of the Sabbatical year and how it was first observed in the manner of the present author’s book The Reckoning of Time, wherein we sought to restore to the best of our ability the reckoning of the Sabbatical and Jubilee years from Creation to the coming of Mashiach.

Watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem:
The voice of your watchmen! They shall lift up their voices, together they shout for joy, because eye to eye they see the return of Yehovah to Tsiyon. (Isa 52:8)
