Question: How was the Red Sea parted? Answer: According to the Christian films, Mosheh (Moses) stretched his arm, hit the waters of Yam Suph (the Red Sea) with his staff, and they parted in front of the amazed Israelites. Then, Israel crossed the sea on a dry land. However, the Exodus story says that when Mosheh stretched his arm and touched the waters of the Red Sea, a strong wind started blowing all night until the bottom of the sea got dried. And then, Israel left Egypt...

Are the Arabs necessarily wrong when they say the land does not belong to Israel? When they say “the land” to contest its ownership, which land do they mean? Because the Arabs are not without land. Elohim blessed Ishmael the son of Avraham, made him a great nation, and gave him and his descendants a vast land rich of oil. But the contested land is not that vast land, but the small sliver of land between the sea and the Jordan — the land Israel lives in...

The word “holy” as in the phrase “Be holy, for I am holy!” is believed to have positive meanings of being morally and spiritually excellent; also saintly, godly, pious, God-fearing, righteous, good, virtuous, moral, sinless, pure, perfect. This perception is often derived from the Apostle Shimon Kepha’s quote from Leviticus, … as the One who called you is holy, so you also should become holy in all behavior, because it has been written,...

Shiloh is a mysterious figure in the Scripture. Little is known who he is, since he is mentioned only once in Gen 49:10, when the patriarch Ya’akov (Jacob) gave his prophetic visions of the twelves tribes. It is evident in the vision concerning Yehudah (Judah) that the coming of Shiloh is not to be regarded as terminating the rule of this tribe, but that the figure of Shiloh is carried out still further beyond the literal terms of the prophecy, as it tells...

The Salt Sea, known as the Dead Sea, was not in existence in the times of the patriarchs, Avraham, Yitschak and Ya’akov, as seen in the Genesis account. So, when did the Salt Sea come into being, because the Yarden (the Jordan River) was in existence before the Salt Sea (Dead Sea)? The Book of Genesis depicts the time before the patriarchs as time of great changes in nature. i.e. the Flood, but nothing in the narrative is said about an event in which the Yarden Valley...

In this study we will explain that there are no such things as “old” and “new” covenants for YHVH’s chosen people, but one everlasting Covenant that has been renewed. The “New Testament” and the “Old Testaments” are foreign for the Hebraic mindset terms crafted by the Roman Catholic Church with the intent to divide the Word of YHVH and His people. The Scripture and the people were thus divided so that today we have the...

When do we start counting of omer to have seven complete weeks to Shavuot? This question has been a great deal of debate among the observant believers who want to serve the Creator the way He wants to be served. When you come into the land which I give you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring an omer of the first-fruits of your harvest to the priest. And he shall wave the omer before Yehovah, for your acceptance. On the morrow after the Sabbath the priest waves...

Question: Do Hebrews and Gentiles see the past and future differently? Answer: Yes, they do. In the Greco-Roman mindset, for instance, the past is behind, and future is before. This concept is derived from the simple idea that as one walks forward, he sees what comes to him, i.e. the future. And what is behind him is the past. However, in the Hebraic mindset, the things are turned 180 degrees: the past is before the Hebrew, and the future is behind. Why is that? This...

Question: Did Paul teach against the Temple sacrifices? Answer: Let us read Acts 21:20-28 and ask ourselves the questions: if Apostle Shaul (Paul) taught against the Law of God, Why did he take on the Nazarite vow according to the Law (Num 6:13-20) that required sacrifices? Why did he participate with four other men? Why did he participate in burnt offerings and sacrifices in the Temple? Why did Ya’akov (James) and the elders urge him to do this? Why would Paul pay...

Question: Who changed Shaul’s name to “Paul”? Answer: Wherever we find in the Scripture that a name was given, we always find the reason and who did it, i.e. Elohim and His messengers, the patriarchs and even King Nebuchadnezzar who changed the names of Daniel and his companions. We find the same pattern in the Apostolic Writings, i.e. giving the names of Yochanan (aka John the Baptist) and Yeshua the Messiah. However, who changed the name of Apostle Shaul...

Question: Did Yoseph and Miryam have other children? Answer: Yes, Yoseph (Joseph) and Miriam (Mary) did have other children after the birth of Yeshua, and the more famous of them are Ya’akov (James) and Yehudah (Jude), the apostles. Yeshua also had sisters, according to the account in Mark, Is this not the carpenter, the Son of Miryam, and brother of Ya’akov, and Yoseph, and Yehudah, and Shim’on? And are not His sisters here with us? (Mar 6:3) See also Mar...
