There is a great deal of debate in the Hebrew Roots movement whether or not the most recognizable symbol in the world, the Star of David, is of a pagan origin. Arguments to prove that the Star of David is a pagan symbol have been found in a verse from Amos 5. We read, But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves. Therefore will I cause you to go into captivity beyond Damascus, (Amo 5:26-27 KJV) In...

Where is the real Mount Sinai? Many people have been led to believe that Mount Sinai, where YHVH gave Israel the Ten Commandments but more properly the Covenant and where Israel wandered forty years, is located in the Sinai Peninsula in modern-day Egypt, as seen from the image below. And if this is the real Mount Sinai, we should expect to find artifacts left by the Israelites in the Sinai Peninsula. After all, it is believed they had wandered through the peninsula forty...

The U.S. President Barak Obama opened the “Pandora Box” of rousing to action of newly created ISIS, an offshoot of Muslim Brotherhood in the Middle East. However, who is the real Obama and what role Obama will play in the end-time prophecy? In this article, we will see how Obama was hidden in the prophecies in the books Ezekiel and Jeremiah. And Yehovah made a covenant with Avram, saying, I have given this land to your seed, from the river of Egypt to the great...

The talking point of this article will be prophecy in Joel 3:1-2 and more specifically, the efforts of the nations (United Nations Security Council Resolution 2334) to divide the Promised Land, the covenant with death, and their consequent judgment. The Dividing of the Promised Land in UNSC Resolution 2334 For look, in those days and at that time, when I turn back the captivity of Yehudah and Yerushalayim, then I shall gather all nations, and bring them down to the Valley...

A friend shared an experience she had when she heard two words from the Creator: emunah “faith” and bitachon “trust.” In previous articles we studied the Hebrew words for faith, hope, grace, and love. This experience prompted the present author to write another article from the series “What is …?” So, in this article we will study the Hebrew word for “trust.” In a non-Hebraic culture, the words like faith, hope, grace,...

What does it take to dishonor the Name of YHVH? Do we dishonor the Creator’s Name by uttering it, as many in the Rabbinic Judaism are led to believe, or there is something else? When Yitzhak became old, he called Esav his elder son and said to him to hunt wild game for him and make him a tasty dish in order that he would bless him before he dies. Rivkah overheard Yitzhak and conspired to change her husband’s blessing. Her plan was her favorite son Ya’akov...

The tax collectors and the sinners came to Yeshua to hear Him. The Pharisees and scribes also came and grumbled because of that. But He spoke a parable to them of a certain man who had two sons and the younger of them said to his father to give him his portion of the inheritance. Then the younger son went away to a distant country, and there wasted his moneys with loose living. But when he had spent all and a severe scarcity of food came throughout that land, he felt the...

There is no lack of commentaries as to who the suffering servant in Isaiah 53 is. Modern Judaism considers and teaches that this suffering servant is the nation of Israel. However, has this been the view of the sages throughout the centuries? As we will see in this study, the Sages of blessed memory had correctly commented on Isaiah 53 in their own writings in Talmud, which no Rabbi has the sufficient authority to change. Sadly, the Sages’ teaching was changed. On the...

It is commonly understood among Bible scholars that Yonah (Jonah) was swallowed by the big fish and after being three days and three nights in its stomach was vomited out alive. The textual support of this story is that Yonah actually prayed to YHVH from the stomach of the fish as seen in Jon 2:2-9. But Yehovah appointed a great fish to swallow Yonah. And Yonah was in the stomach of the fish three days and three nights. (Jon 1:17) Below is the Hebrew text with a...

How old was David when he killed Goliath the Philistine? Let us first see the context. But David said to the Philistine, “You come to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the Name of Yehovah of hosts, the Elohim of the armies of Israel, whom you have reproached. This day Yehovah shall deliver you into my hand, and I shall smite you and take your head from you, and give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines today to the birds of...

The common perception is that Yeshua’s disciples were young adults as Kefa (Peter) being in his early forties while the rest of them were in their thirties. Yochanan (John) is believed to be the youngest among them. This perception is received mainly from the popular Bible movies where the disciples are portrayed more or less as such. But how old were they? In the account of Matthew, we read: And when they came into Kephar Nachum, those who received the tax came to...
