In the story of the banishment of Ishmael in Genesis 21, YHVH told Avraham that in his son Yitschak (Isaac) his seed was called (Gen 21:12), but in Gen 22:2, YHVH seems to have turned the promise upside down when He told Avraham to sacrifice him. And in the culmination of the story in Gen 22:12, it seems that YHVH had “changed” His mind again when He told him not to sacrifice Yitschak thus having created another internal challenge for Avraham. We thus see that...

Yeshua gave the only sign, the sign of Jonah (Yonah) the Prophet, to prove that He was the Anointed One of YHVH, the Messiah of Israel. Why would He do this, if not to tell us something we do not usually see. YHVH gave the evidence the Pharisees were seeking for His Son’s Messiahship. And His Son pointed directly to it: the Sign of Jonah. Yeshua the Messiah did many wonders and signs while He was walking on the earth. They all are recorded in the four Gospels and the...

What was the outward appearance of the Messiah, when He walked on the earth, because we are given no account on how Yeshua looked like outwardly in the Apostolic writings? The prophecy of YHVH concerning His Messiah pictured Him as unattractive in His outward appearance. However, the modern perception of Him is as having quite an ideal appearance. The Bible movies portrait Him as a blond, long haired, blue-eyed, Anglo-Saxon Caucasian. Can we rethink this? Unattractive in...

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...

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...

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...

Who is the suffering servant in Isaiah 53? In order to answer this question, we need to turn to the literal word of the Creator, and according to the sages, this is the Bible Code. In the article Who is the Suffering Servant in Isaiah 53? Part I we studied the controversy of two different interpretations of the mysterious servant who suffered for the sins of his people. Shlomo Yitzchaki aka Rashi in his comprehensive commentary on the prophecy in Isaiah 53 taught that 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...

The human Messiah, the son of man, was born with all human traits that every person had. Yet, He did not sin. His flawlessness did not come from being born without the ability to sin, but from being born as a normal human being with all possibility to sin. Only then His obedience and faithfulness can be measured up to the high standard of being the Messiah. The significance of the prophecy in 2Sa 7 concerning the Messiah becomes even more prominent when we understand that...

Rabbi Elijah of Vilna (also known as the Vilna Gaon) was a Jewish scholar in the 18th century well known for his writings about the coming of the Messiah and was the one who predicted the capture of Crimea by the Russians. Shortly before his death, the Vilna Gaon said, “When you hear that the Russians have captured the city of Crimea, you should know that the times of the Messiah have started, that his steps are being heard. And when you hear that the Russians have reached...

Many today have misinterpreted Mat 24:36 to mean that we cannot know the day of the Messiah’s coming, and which is even worse, some teach, we are not to study the end-time prophecy. And those who study the end-time prophecies and try to try to figure out the day of His coming are labeled as “time setters.” This, however, is far from the truth. Learn the parable from the fig tree: When you see its branch and leaves sprouting know that he is near to the...
