Which is the fifth Gospel, or the fifth Good News, because we know only four in the Scripture: the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John? The fifth Gospel subject of this teaching is not the so-called Q Gospel (also Q source and Q document). According to the Christian eschatology, Q Gospel is believed to be a part of the common source found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke but not in the Gospel of Mark. But the fifth Gospel that we will study is a part of the Canon but...

The question “Does God have a pre-existing Son, first-born of the creation?” always opens the door of polemic between religions that will never be closed by men. The verses from JPS translation (Gen 6:2-4, Job 1:6, Job 2:1, and Job 38:7) showing that the Creator of the universe does have sons, namely, His messengers (angels), do not bring much argumentation. If the argument against them is that these verses are general references to angels, and no specific son...

In the Scripture, there is a messenger of YHVH whose name remained hidden in secret. He appeared only at key points in the world history and his hidden identity had never been revealed to men. Who is this messenger who said, “Why do you ask My name, it is hidden?” From the Canon and Apocrypha, we know the names of YHVH’s messengers such as Micha’el (Who is like El), Gavri’el (Might of El), Rapha’el (Healing of El), Phanu’el or...

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...

The authorship of the Book of Genesis is attributed to Mosheh who wrote it down for us. But the question presents itself, “How could he have known what had taken place from the Creation of the world to his birth?” The creation of the heavens and the earth, the stars and everything visible and invisible in the universe, is 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...

Virgin birth of the Messiah is a main stream theological doctrine, according to which the Messiah had no human father. Matthew clearly testifies that Yeshua the Messiah was born to a virgin, Miryam, and Yoseph adopted her son. However, Shaul says that the Son of Elohim had no father and mother, without genealogy, yet, we believe that the Messiah was born to a virgin mother. And if a birth is only possible at fertilization of a woman’s reproductive egg by a man’s...

“As in the days of Noach” is probably the most obscured of all signs of the Messiah gave concerning his coming. We should recall that the Messiah gave two more signs concerning his coming, namely, the sign of Jonah the Prophet and “as in the days of Lot”. But no one should think in his right mind that it was accidental for the Messiah to link “as in the days of Noach” and “as in the days of Lot” in such a way as to explicitly...

Yeshua the Messiah made two addresses to the nation of Israel during His ministry. In his first address to the nation, “The Sermon on the Mount” [of Galilee], Yeshua the Messiah laid down the rules before the people for entering the Kingdom of Heaven. This sermon consists of three parts: chapters 5, 6, and 7 of the Gospel of Matthew. The first part of the Sermon on the Mount is seen by the majority of Christian commentators as an antithesis, Jesus made by the...

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 Messenger of YHVH aka The Messenger of His Face is a mystery that cannot be comprehended completely. Who is this Messenger and what is His identity? The answers are found in the trial against Apostle Stephanos (Acts 7) where we also find the inconvenient truth for many, then and now. The exposure of this inconvenient truth in his fervent speech before the corrupted clique of Pharisees is the subject of this article. Apostle Stephanos was falsely accused by the Pharisees...

The transcendent Son of YHVH exists beyond and outside the ordinary range of human experience or understanding. The Bible and the Rabbinical literature undoubtedly speak of a preexisting Being in heaven, who was in the Creator’s plan at the origin of the universe, through whom and for whom all things visible and invisible were created: The transcendent Son of YHVH. The Messiah of YHVH has a human nature with all human traits including the ability to sin. And indeed,...

“The former rain and the latter rain” is the designation of the coming of Yeshua the Messiah for His first and second comings. His first coming “the former rain”, although highly expected, was obscured in the Torah and the Prophets for a good reason. Not even the principalities of this world knew about it; if they had known, they would have never crucified Him. However, His second coming “the latter rain” is plainly revealed in the...
