There are some difficult to understand passages in the Scripture, nevertheless they are with prophetic meanings. One of them is the law of leprosy on an inflicted one whose body is completely covered with this disease. But what does it have to do with the Son of David who is expected to come? The law of the leprosy we find in Leviticus 13 and 14. And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of the infected one, from his head to his...

When reading Isaiah 56:3-7, the reader is left with the impression that the righteous gentiles who keep the Sabbath of YHVH, would have doubts that the Lord would accept them. This article will challenge the translation of the Hebrew word saris commonly translated as “eunuch” and will bring the reader to the true message of YHVH. And let not the son of the foreigner who has joined himself to Yehovah speak, saying, ‘Yehovah has certainly separated me from His...

It is very strange to see an offering for sin for a festival of first-fruits of the harvest — the Festival of Weeks, Chag Shavuot. Why was the need for sin and peace offerings on this solemn day when the people gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the giving of Torah to Israel? What sin could they have possibly done that would require a sin offering? Before proceeding in studying the next appointed time of the Creator—the Festival of Weeks, Chag Shavuot—the present author...

The present author will ask the reader to read first the article What is Love? for a better understanding of what “love” is from Hebraic perspectives. If this is already done, we proceed in reading from John 21, where Yeshua asked Shimon Kefa (Simon Peter) three peculiar questions. That was now the third time Yeshua was manifested to His disciples after He was raised from the dead (Joh 21:14). We read, Shimon, son of Yonah, do you love (ἀγαπάω) Me more than...

Who wrote the Book of Esther? We should notice that throughout the entire Book of Esther, Elohim of Israel is not mentioned neither by His Name, nor by any of His titles. All commentators of the Book of Esther have noticed this fact but made the conclusion that although He is not mentioned by name or title even once, He was still in control behind the scenes to protect His people. And while the present author completely agrees with this conclusion, he took an unorthodox...

Today millions of Jews around the world celebrate Purim as a deliverance from a certain Holocaust, and rightly so. The Jews in Persia were on the brink of extermination and had Mordecai and Queen Esther done nothing or not enough, all Jews would have perished in the Holocaust and there would have been no Purim to celebrate. However, is Purim all about childish plays and making fancy “hamantaschen” cookies named after Haman, one of the world’s most...

The First-fruits is considered a purely agricultural holiday under the shadow of Passover and is virtually unknown. However, by His obedience to His Father’s will to take our punishment on the cross and with His resurrection, Yeshua made the First-fruits the greatest of all appointed times of YHVH. Without the fulfillment of the First-fruits as a day of the resurrection of the Lamb of YHVH, the Pesach, all other appointed times make little sense, and our faith has no...

In Rabbinical Judaism the Festival of the First-fruits (HaBikkurim) is considered a purely agricultural holiday, in the Messianic movement this day goes almost unnoticeable under the shadow of the Passover, and in the Christianity, it is simply unknown. And the reason being is that this forgotten festival is seen as a festival within the Festival of the Unleavened Bread (Chag Matzot), and sadly it has become “too little” to notice. However, the appointed time of...

The Lamb of YHVH and the unleavened bread are not to be forgotten, but to serve as a reminder from generation to generation of what YHVH did for us in Egypt. And if the Festival of the Unleavened Bread is to be remembered throughout the generations, Yeshua the Messiah is also to be remembered as the Lamb of YHVH. This article is a continuation of the articles regarding the Festival of Unleavened Bread Part I and Part II and will focus on how Yeshua the Messiah fulfilled the...

Should we sacrifice lamb today and eat it for the Festival of the Unleavened Bread (Chag Matzot)? Actually, these are two separate questions which we will answer in this article. But let us recall from Part I of this series that Pesach (Passover) is not a name of feast, nor is it a name of day. Pesach is not a feast at all, but the Passover lamb for the feast of the Unleavened Bread observed for seven days: from the fifteenth until the twenty-first day of the first month of...

In the Rabbinical Judaism the Passover and the Festival of the Unleavened Bread (Chag Matzot) seem to be fused into one feast. We need to clarify that according to the Torah, the actual Appointed Time is the Feast of Unleavened Bread, while “the Passover” is not part of it; Passover is the sacrificial lamb for the feast. In the article Introduction to the Appointed Times of YHVH we discussed the festive seasons and the days which YHVH called מוֹעֲדִים...

The words “Do not sell wisdom, instruction, and understanding” belong to the richest and wisest man ever born. Yet, he says when you obtain the truth (wisdom) from the Scripture, do not sell it for money. In this article we will study what his descendant Yeshua the Messiah says concerning this controversial topic of selling wisdom, instruction, and understanding. In Mat 10:8 he says: “Freely you have received, freely you give”. Obtain truth and do...
