There is a secret Yoseph (Joseph) kept all his life. He was the favorite son of his father Ya’akov from his beloved wife, who dreamed two prophetic dreams about the family. But those dreams were not the secret Joseph kept in his heart. What was that secret Joseph kept, because the Torah tells us nothing about it? Ya’akov’s sons sold Yoseph in slavery in Egypt and he would not see him for 22 years until they were once again united. We should notice a...

Three major prophecies depict the War of Gog of Magog, the battle for Jerusalem – the final war that will end all wars before the coming of the Anointed One of YHVH. In chapter “Two Scenarios for the War of Gog of Magog” from the book “The Reckoning of Time“, the present author suggested that both prophecies in Ezekiel 38-39 and Zechariah 12-14 speak of one war – the War of Gog of Magog or the battle for Jerusalem – in which war the scenario in Zec 12-14 appears to be the...

The exclamation “Amen!” is so often misuse and even abuse by the preachers that it has lost its true meaning and has become a cliché in the churches today. Pastors, preachers, teachers, and TV evangelists, teach from the pulpit “teachings” foreign and sometimes even contradictory to the Teaching (Torah) of the Creator, and then they call for a repeat-after-me “Amen” and the laymen follow suit: “Amen!” But what does...

Chiasmus or chiasm, as the one found in Psalm 83, is a method used in the Scripture to emphasize the main idea or topic, which also serves to reveal hidden messages in the prophecy. In Chapter “The Prophetic Psalm 83” from the present author’s book The Reckoning of Time, we called Psalm 83 prophetic, because we see the realization of this psalm in our days, namely, all surrounding Arab nations conspire plots to destroy the State of Israel and drive the...

Urim and tummim are perhaps the most peculiar article of the high priest attire. How they looked like, most unfortunately the Torah does not tell much. Nevertheless, what the Torah tell us is that they functioned as a means of communication between YHVH and His people. Mosheh (Moses) is distinguished from the people as the mediator of the Covenant of YHVH. He led the people out of Egypt and brought them to Mount Sinai where Israel received the revelation of the Torah and...

Very often a mistranslation like “vanity” can overturn the whole meaning of a message in the Scripture. A typical example of it is the phrase in Ecclesiastes: Vanity of vanities! All is vanity! Is life a vanity, or the things we have labored all of our days were in vain or futile? Have we not received them from Elohim, and if we indeed have, why has the preacher called “vanity of vanities”? What does the wisest man teach in his end-of-life message to...

Is there any proof that the Bible is the Word of the Creator and was not written by men? There are many accusations that the Bible is a myth or a compilation of legends at best. The secularists accuse the Jews of inventing the Bible, while the Muslims: of distorting it. For instance, the most popular accusation is that the Jews replaced Ishmael with Isaac on the altar, and it was Ishmael who was the promised son, and it was Ishmael whom Avraham (Arab. Ibrahim) offered for...

Moreover, some languages do not even have definite words for a clear concept of life, hence it is hard to define the meaning of life itself. And if it is hard to define the meaning of life, how can the sanctity of life be defined? Two Hebraic concepts of life In Hebrew, there are two concepts of time best expressed in the words זְמָן zeman and עֵת et in the wisdom of...

There is a peculiar passage in the Exodus story regarding how Israel left Egypt. The Sages of old sought to find a meaningful interpretation of an obscured Hebrew word in the Book of Exodus in order to explain this passage. It is in Exo 13:18 that reads thus, But God led the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt. (Exo 13:18 JPS) King James’ version of the Bible also renders the...
